 The Hon. Charles Caldwell addressed the meeting at some length, at the close of which the following preamble and resolutions, ex- pressiyc of the sense of this meeting, were unanimously adopted:

 Whereas, 1t is apparent to this meeting that crisis is at hand that loudly calls for the action of all lovers of our social, political, and religious institutions one, too, in which the destinies of this nation must necessarily be essentially and virtually affected; a neigh boring State, seeing and deliberately contem- plating the beauties of our simple republican institutions, are desirous of uniting their fate with ours by becoming a member of our po- Itical family, stands knocking at our door, asking admttance not suppllants for our charity, but share our social national bles- sings For this, they propose more than a quid pro quo, for they are rich in energy, natural resources, and patriotism To vast ly extensive domain of the most fertile val lies and beautiful plains, they unite the most delightful and salubrous climate, congenial to all the pursuits of the husbandman, to health, 10 comfort, and to happiness. They properly constitute part of the valley of the Missis- sippi. and without reference 10 the manner that they were cast of from the pale of our protection, they now propose to retun.- Shall we refuse their honorable and affection ate overtares Or shall we extend the hand of fellowship, and welcome them to the joys of the happiest government on earth.

 Be It therefore

 Rcsoited, That wisdom demands the i'm mediate remuneration of Texas to the United States, and delay may prove dangerous; for as nation, family, or as individuals, we should never put of for tomorrow what can be done to-day

 RcSoleed, That for his wisdom, sagaeity, and promptness in treating for the re-annex- ation of Texas, John Tyler, the President of the United States, is untitled to the highest consideration of this nation.

 Reso7red, That for the purity of his moral character. virtuous and stern integrity, and patriotic republicanism, John c. Calhoun has our undivided con1idence-that for his gifted intellect and brilliant mental attainments, he is a fit sentinel on the watchtoWer of his country's honor.

 Resolped, That the Chairman and Seere- tary sign the proceedings of this meeting, and transmit a copy thereof to the Arkansas Banner.

 Whereupon, the meeting adjourned.

 D. C. MCDANIEL, Chairman

 FINAs LEIGH, Secretary.
