/ lie stated that IN the present political
rrisis, 1t WAS necessary 10 establish some
mark, by which republican could be
known. So great had been the accession
tu the repnblicanparty since the war, that
he began Ia fear an unanlinlty N public
upinun--tbat there would soon be but one
side. 70 prevent so deplOrable an event,
he would propose the following resolutions,
as laying down the great landmarks oil
rerublicaulsm.
REsoLYED, That in the ensuing presl-
Dental contest, john Quincy Adams be
The federal, and VIM. H. Craw ford the
| republican candidate and that their se'e-
raj supporters be called federalats and re-
politicians.
RESOLVED, That al mcn under the age
of thirty-five, shall be considered federal
ISIS.
RESOLVED. That inasmuch as It appears
! that VIM H.Crawlord voted against the
embargo Of 1907, aud John Quincy Adams
in It's favor, that measure was 4 federal
act, aud in opposition to the policy Of JEFF
ferson.
RESOLVED. That John Quincy Adams
being the au,hor of certain essays under
the signature of PubIieoa, which were
highly approved of by Washington, is rem
dcred unworthy of the support of republ
cans, by having held sentiments similar with
those of the father of his country.
RESOLVED, That whereas il is represen-
ted that those essays tended to check the
Interference of Edmund e. Genet, the
French Minister, in the domestic affairs OF
this country, in 80 doing, John Quincy Ad-
ans endrasored to srlbyert the lndepend
ence of the American nation.
RESOLVED, That the residence Of John
Quincy Adams in Europe from the year
1891, To the fall of 1901, Identifies him with
the administration of his father, and renders
him responsible for the policy of the fede-
raj party et home.
RESOLVED, That the appreciation Of w.
II. Crawford of that administration in
1893, IN the Augusta address, WAS a proof
of his undertaking aud primitive iepub'l
canlsm.
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this NEE
tiny be given To the Hon Jonathan Russell,
for his attempt To destroy thcpolltical cha
ractel of John Quincy Adams, the arch
enemy Of republican principles. Though.
unsuccessful, hcacan, like Cato, find conso-
lalion in his ,irluous intentions. ." "Tis not
III mortal, tn command success"
~ Al. a,
Hon. John Floyd, in charging the secretary
Of state with ialschood, entities him to the
thanks ri the country. Tho the charge
was unIonoded, yet the zeal with which he
perverted facts in order tn promulgate it,
fully evnccs his hatred to John Quincy
Adams, and his attachment TO republican
ism.
RESOLVED, That Gen. Smyth, IN attack
ing the political course of John Quincy Al
ANS IN the Senate, has added another leaf
10 the llurels earned ut Buhllo. The result
of the attack showed the hazard he incur
red, aud dIsproyed the saunders of those
who lnslnuatrd that he d'dnot dare To meet
an antagonist.
| RESOLVED, That our gratitude is due TO
the late William Cunningham forremo,ing
y
rncc between himself aud the Honorable
John Adams by voluntary death, and to
his sou Ephraim May Cunningham for
! publishing the same, in violation of his
fathers honour. These acts Savor ef Ro
| man virtue, aud show that, in their estlma-
tlou, neither life nor unblrmishcd fame
were IN be- pretrrred 10 public welfare. =
This family will hereafter be called the
| Dccii Of AmIrca.
| RESOLVED, That the thanks Of this NEE
ting BIZ given othe editors of the Boston
Statesman for printing, aud To the editor OF
the National yd,ocale for experimenting
the distribution of that correspondence in
the city of New York. The end sanctiiies
| the means.
! RESOLVED, That the assertion which
has been made, that the publication of phi
] Nate letters is dishonorable, IS untrue III
morals, and contrary To the fundamental
| principles OF the Crawford party.
! RESOLVED, That IA committee be ap-
pointed to intercept and publish the private
correspondence of John Quincy Adams,
and that the secretary Of tins meeting be
chairman of that committee. Capacity and
practice Justify prelerment.
htsoLFEp, Ihat whereas the citizens OF
this state are incapable of justly aPprecia-
ting the merits of Wm. II. Crawford, and
seem to prefer John Quincy Adams, it is
anti-repnblican to give the choice of cleo
tors TO the people.
| RESOLVED, That whereas in 1916, VIM.
IL. Crawford obtained in caucus, in opposi-
tlon 10 James Monroe, more than two
filihs of the votes, when it was not known
out of Washington that he was a candidate,
a caucus of the members of Congress truly
represents the sentiments of the American
people, and we pledge ourselves to abide by
its nomination, as the Roman people did
