man and an honest man. Nor do they know a
ny reasonswhy he should be postponed TO any
of the statesmen in the country protesting the
same latitudinous construction. Nor has it es-
capped your committee, that il Virginia ever
means TO support northern candidate, no du-
ty can be clearer than hers to yield a candid
support to the candidate Of the Republicans Of
New England at this time The republicans
of New England were for thirty years hearty in
their efforts for the Virginia favorites; a time
when to be republican there showed no light
magnanimiiy and fortitude. Within the last few
years this party has grown to be the ascendant
The six New England States are decidedly re-
publican, and they demand OF Virginia tempe
rate and candid Judgment on their favorite.-
The States that threatened 10 dissolve this
blessed Union, and cherished the dark machi-
nations of the Hartford Convention, have elo-
riously redeemed themselves from these foul
STAINS; have hurled off their evil counselIors, &
now regenerated, have joined in attachment to
him who was, above all others, the object Of
bitter hatred to the Hartford conspirators.
Your committee will also declare, that, after
examining all the proofs they have still the most
entire confidence in the integrity and honor Of
the Secretary Of State. For fearless independ-
ence, for political sagacity and true eloquence,
no man in this day has surpassed him; and
were the United States searched for an embo-
died representation of the American character,
the enquirer would not rest at the vindictive,
Ignorant, military chef,-the vulgar growth
Of every land NOR on the combination Of En-
glish ignorance, grated on the petty stock Of
princely, Indian descent,-the growth Of ev-
cry barbarous tribe:-but would seek for the
bold, frank and lofty character of Henry Clay,
ri ika A C.nr III heta
igin, TO a high elevation, and fair chance of
higher destiny.
To guard the country, if possible, from the
calamity Of such "a government as that Of Gen.
Jackson, your committee recommended earns
esty that this meeting do cooperate with those
OF their fellow citizens who are opposed TO his
elevation. The propriety Of doing something
to concentrate this oppositionx TO raise eoun-
ter current against the dicta,ion Of the Metrop-
oils, is too obvious TO be enlarged on. Your
committee therefore Offer the following resolu
lions:
/. Resolysd, That two delegates on the
