lawful and proper manner the vindication
and Ganaticsl aggres sions Of those who re-
cognize no law but their "higher law
whose aim is TO destroy our Union-em-
broil this brotherhood of States in civil
war, and "drench our common country in
fratricidal Blood we yet declare it as our
duty-the duty of all Missourians, and our
earnest determination to withhold any and
all armed interference in Kansas affairs.
2. That the Black Republicans Of Kan
sas, fairly defeated in the election for and
against the Constitution, on the 2lst Dec,
smarting under their still more recent and
overwhelming defeat in the election for
State Officers, under that Constitution,
which they are so recklessly seeking to de-
stroy with their candidates for Governor,
Lieut.. Governor, Congress, and both branch
es Of the State Legislature, fairly repudia-
ted by direct and general vote of the peo-
pie, leaving them without the power OF dis
honoring Kansas, the American Senate, and
the nation, by foisting Lane and Robinson
as the first Senators, are now resolved on
their hellish purpose Of revolution and dis.
union.
3. That it should be, as il is, the true
policy Of national men, in Kansas and else
where, to dlscountenance all agitation and
excitement. That the Democratic party of
Kansas, who, on every occasion, save one,
have been strong enough TO out vote the
opposition, are now strong enough with
out aid from any quarter, to uphold and
maintain their laws, protect their Constitu.
ton, and suppress the rebellion, and pun
ish the treason now so palpably existing.
a. That the people of Kansas, in the ex-
ercise of their sovereignty, have now set
tied their domestic affairs and fixed their
own Institutions, in their own way, in ac.
cordance with the Organic Act of the Ne
braska Bill, and that we dspreoate and de-
nounce, any and every attempt at interior
ance, with that settlement whether made
in Missouri, in Boston, or in Congress Of
the United States, and we emphatically de-
clare that the refusal on the part of Con-
gress, TO admit Kansas as Sovereign State
the Constitution thus ratified by vote OF
the people, ratified by the disastrous defe0
of the opposition in the first general cleo
ton held under it, would be anti-Democrat
ic in its character in conflict with the ex
press doctrine of the organic act, and tn,
decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, dangerous to the rights of TIT
people, and the States, and Territory, i
may be, with the most fearful of all conse
quences to every American patriot,
D. That the most hearty thanks Of OIL
people are hereby rendered 10 Hon. Johl
Calhoun for his eloquent and patriotic ap
peal in behalf of the Union, the Constitu
ton and the Laws, and against any and al
interference in Kansas affairs, by the PEG
pie of Missouri.
BEN. WOOD, President.
Horace HARDING, Sec'y.
The result of the above meeting has ha,
the effect of staying the course of severa
hundred of our Platte friends, who wer
resolved on taking arms in aid and defence
if need be, Of their friends in Kansas.
Unless they are driven by absolute ne
cesSity to defend their friends, they will nc
cross the Rubicon. EDITORS.
