On motion of the Lieutenant Governor. IL was Re-
solved, that committee he appointed hy the Chair,
10 prepare and report resolutions expressive OF the
sense {" ths meeting, IN regard the approa ching
p residential election and ihcrrupon the Hon. Eras-
ius Rool, th- Hon. Messrs. Redield aud Dudley, Of
The Senate the Hon. Peter x. Livingston, Spe aker
of the Assembly, and Messrs. Gardiner, Gundell,
appointed such committee
The following resolutions, being repaired nv the
committee, were after discussion, unanimously a.
dopied
Chief NJ ,gsIraIe of the o. States has so nearly ap
preached, that the members OF the Legislatures of
several Of our sister States, have already thought il
advisable tn express their feelings upon the OCCASION
and have thereby rendered IL proper that those who
have been elected in "a similar capacity TO represent
'''e state OF New York, should leave reason for
supposing that this is insensble than
other members of the confederacy 10 the Important
Of such "a question Therefore,
Resolved, That we consider explicit avowa of
our sentiments in the matter, only called for
by the OCCASION, hut due to The commendahe solicit
tude winch IS ielt 10y our republican brehten in oh-
er parts OF the Union:
That il is highly essential the interests of those
who have the happiness to live under a republican
form OF government, that its administration should
be commitied to persons, whose opinion and feelings
are IN coincidcnce with its fundam nj a pTnciples
unt whose lives aud conduct furnish the most une-
qnvocai evidence of their entire devotion TO the
preservation ofthose principles
That the practice of making nominations for thn
ONCE OF President lay individual states, has enden-
cy to disturb the harmony of the great republican
Family, by creating and strengthening Individual pre-
objections aud local feelings, and thereby prevent the
concert oi action, which has hitherto crowned their
eXertIons with
| That although a nomination nv the Repuh lcan
Members of Congress is entirely free from oh
jecIions, yet that assembled they from the dil-
iereHt quarters of the Unon-coming from the vari-
Gus classes Of the commnnily-elecIed during the
| pendency and discussions of the question: and in a
great degree with reference they bring into ore
body as perfect - representation he expected
OF HE Interests aud wishes Of all, and Of and
mat nomination made by them in manuer which
has heretofore been usual is the best alrsnabe mode
I'd eifeciing the great object in view, which has as
| YET been suggested
That we fully believe, that y convention thus con-
sIiiued, will he less liable he influenced Ivy those
secI'on" Jealouses, against which The father of his
| country has so soemny and justly cautioned us
more Hkey to cherish those purely national feelings
which is the Interest," and should he the pride OF
every state 10 protect and better calculated TO pic-
serve unbroken, those political lies, which bind to-
gether the Republicans OF the north and the south,
the east and the west, asd cousecraied by the
recoliectons of times and events dear to the demo-
cracy al the nation, which irium phed in the election
aud pIospered under the administration of the illus
! tIious Jefferson -
That we feel an unhesitating confidence, that when
the proper time for making such nomination shall
arrive, the Republican Members of Congress will
select as candidate, Tor an oice oil general super
vision over the great Poliiical Agricultural, Manu-
featuring and Commercial interests of the Nation
one who IS not only sound Democratic Republican
~ principle and practice, but who will ahour with
equal assiduy for the just promotion of all those
erear interests and to whom the Repub leans Of
New York can give their willing support.
ResOired That The proceedings of this meeting he
signed 10y the Chairman and Secretary, and published

meat:

of the day which uncommony Interesting, an,
most probably drew IN the Capitol every member il
, town who was able to attend. The largest balo
consisted OF 30 votes. Drduciing this number rrou
the whole strength OF the Legislature, leaves 26 in
valIds ab-entecs from town.

abseniees, the result stands thus
