Item description from seller

Large folio, folded to 7-1/2" x 12-1/2". [3], [1 blank] pp. Completely in ink manuscript. Old folds, Very Good. Clark County, in farthest northeastern Missouri along the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers, borders Iowa to the north and Illinois to the east. The County, created in 1836, was named after William Clark [of Lewis & Clark fame], territorial governor from 1813-1820. The resolutions express orthodox Democratic doctrine, a Strict Construction ideology that protected Slavery from its opponents, "The Federal Government is one of limited power derived solely from the constitution, and the grants of power shewn therein ought to be strictly construed by all the departments and agents of the Government. [T]he Constitution does not confer upon the General Government the power. . . to interfere with or control the domestic institution of the several states and that such States are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs not prohibited by the Constitution; that all efforts of the abolitionists or others made to induce Congress to interfere with the question of Slavery are calculated to lead to the most alarming & dangerous consequences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people & endanger the stability & permanency of the Union.".…
