In pursuance of notice given, large and re-

the Court House, in Leonardtown, on Tuesday
the 5th instanI; when on motion, Gen. JAMES
Thomas was called to the Chair, and JOHN. l..
AlILLARp, Esq. appointed Secretary.
The object Of the meeting being stated, Col.
GERARD N. CAusN delivered very handsome
and appropriate address, of considerable length
in snppor, of the measures Of the Administra-
tion, passing them in review,and shelving their
accordance with the leading policy Of the pre-
ceding Cabinetswhich had received the une-
qnivoeal appreciation Of the Nation: after (which
on motion by the same gentleman, Commit

wit: G.. " Causin, Clemen, Dorsey, John Leigh.
Raphael Neale, Esqrs., AMI Doctor CalebJones;
who, having retired for short time, returned,
and reported the subjoined Preamble and Reso-
lutions. CLEMeNT Dorsey, Esq. then very ably
supported the resolutions, in a speech OF more
than one hour, giving full and interesting ac-
count ofthe political life OF the President OF the
U States, and the Secretary of State, and pre-
sen,ihg his objections, in e1tenso, to the rival
candidate, Gen. Andrew Jackson.
The question being then taken upon the Pre-
amble and Resolutions, the same we're uDanl-
mously adopted by the meeting as follows:
Whereas we deem it the duty Of all good cit
liens enjoying the blessings and privileges OF
our free institutions Of Government, fcarlessly
and fully to scan the ac,s and conduct OF the
public functionaries, in order that the Consti-
tuition may be preserved in its purity, and the
benefits thereby intended TO be secured to the
People, re alized; and having carried this prin-
ciple into practicaeffect, by diligent and care
ful examination of the general course Of policy
pursued by the present Administration, we can
find in ii nothing to condemn, but, on the con-
trary, much to approve and admire; and belev-
ing that such policy is well suited to the de-
mands, and promotiye of the interests & hap
piness Of our common country, we should be
unfaithful 10 ourselves, and unjust to others,
no, to feel and acknowledge the obligation, un-
der such circumstances, TO sustain the Admin
istraton, 10 be as strong and binding as the
right to investigate its acts is clear and inGis-
putable; and whereas an opposition has been
organized in the U. States, and is now making
strenuous efforts with view to the removal oil
the presen, President and his Cabinet from the
National Councils, at the next Presidential e.
lection--an opposition which appears to TINS
meeting not to be based on any well grounded
objections to the measures oil Government:
Therefore,
Resolred, That, while we deprecate the conse-
ouences Of arousing the public feeling, and Gil
rec,ing the public mind 10 the next Presiden,
Tia! Election at SO early period, we feel tom
strained by solemn sense OF duty to resist the
efforts of the Opposition, and to use every iair
and honorable exertion in favor Of the re-elec-
ton Of John @. Adams to the Presidency.
hesolrN, That we recognize with. becom-
ing pride, among the few ilIustrious statesmen
who communicate more distinction than they
derive from official stations, the present Secre-
tary Of State, Henry Clay, and that we regard
his acceptance Of this important office, as an
event propitious to the interest, happiness, and
glory of the nation
