Taylor said in those troublous times. In his
paper of June 18th, he copied the proceed
Ings of the meetings-that of Howard hav-
ing been under the control of Gen. Clark and
that Of Boone, Major Rollins-an spoke Of
them as follows:--
A great deal of our space to-day is occu-
pied with the proceedings OF the two mass
meetings of the people Of Howard and
Boone-the latter being more conservative
and Union-loving in its character. For
both of these we bespeak careful and can
did perusal at the hands OF our readers; let
them ponder well their import, and put to
the serious question, which OF
the two best answers the purpose Of PER-
petuating our institutions, and preserving
quiet and harmony within our bordersp-
That, and that alone, is the great deside-
ratum at present sought for by all true pa
triots; and the two sets Of resolutions en-

sought by each party to gain the same noble
and christian ends.
The resolutions adopted by the meeting
in Boone County are mild but firm; conser-
vative, vel covering sufficient ground wher-
OIL shareholders can stand with ample secu-
rty to their property, and honor ard digni-
ty to themselves. They place the proper
estimate upon the ldw- justly recognising

liberty--thus tacitly reb liking the "extra
legal" means unfortunately resorted TO by
some of the people in the western portion
of the State. They express their ardent
attachment to the Union; their hatred Of
Abolitionism and Freesoilism, and their de-
termination, by all honorable and legal
means, to do all in their power for their
suppression. Could, or should they have
done more?
The Howard County series do not con-
tain single resolution affirming their devo-
ton to the Union; contain no condemnation
of "extra legal" means, but rather approve
them.
Boone and Major Rollins, all right;
"mild but firm; conservative, yet covering
sufficient ground wherein shareholders
can stand, with ample security 10 their prop

Howard and Clark forgot "their deuotion
