with men aud women Of reason and sense
down to the present day. This peculiar.
ny has not been confined to any one ma

universe, where civilization reigned su.
lr.me, and barbarism was stranger.
No apology therefore, is necessary for our
present convo cation, since antiquity, civ
lllzaiion, progression, common sense, and
deep seated and commendsble gratitude
plead our cause, in tones of eloqucnce

affection for the motbcr-.her patient

over the sick and sleeping baoe with her
exhausted strength, is remembered with

The MISSOURI DEMOCRATS AND RECON
sTRucTloN. - The Missouri Democrats,
being already in the Union and repre-
sented in Congress, have just adopted
some manly resolutions, which enunciate
sound doctrines with as much boldness as
characterised the ante-bellurn resolutions
of the northern Democrats. They declare
that the "Constitution provides for the
"admission of new States, but not for the
"expulsion or destruction Of any there
"fore the law lately passed by Congress to
"reduce the nine States to Territories,
"and govern them by military power, is a
"fagrant violation Of the Constitution,
"practical dissolution Of the Union, and
"should not be submitted to-"
But they add that the only remedy yet
remaining to us ais q convention Of the
Estates, where oil the parties to the origi-
email compact, and all those who have
"since acceded to it, will be fairly and
"equally represented" If that be the
only remedy, the whole batch of bold reso-
lutions might as well have been tabled.
There is no remedy.
Our old friend NAT. CLAIBORNE made a
speech previous to the passage Of the reso-
lutions.
