MIR. Adams are both ia,iiud,nariaus, according 10 the
notions of the democratic party in this State. They
both adopt the same rule for constituting the federal
constitutions; they are both IN favor of internal improve
ments, and duties TO project domestic manufactures.
Here then Gen. jackson has so advantage, while Mr..
Adams is maiiiiestly and beyond comparison his supe-
RIO. i'll knowledge and experience in governmental af
iairs. 1t should not be forgotten too that Mr.. Adams
II reelected would remain only four years longer in
Office While Gen. Jackson if chosen might continue
eight years III the chair; moreover the attempt now
making to supplant Mr.. Adams, putting in his place
another Of similar political principles, but far his in
terror III ability, does certainly appear at variance with
the maxim of 'principles, not men," which Virsinians
once so approved; and must tend TO create, between
different states, n Jealousy and heart burning, by no
means favourable TO the duration Of this Union.
LIST. Be il therefore Resolved, That this meeting
disapprcves of the election of Gen. Andrew jackson
to the Presidency, aud viii use all lawful and hon
Durable means o! preventing il within its power.
end. Resolved, That we approve of The proposal 10
unite IN sending delegates to the convention TO be
holden in the city of Richmond on the 9Th of January
next, Tor tue purpose of forming an electoral ticket
adverse TO the election OF Gen. jackson TO the Presi-
Dental chair, and that William ~. Macon. James d
iIalyburton, JOHN II. Christian, John T.. Christian and
M.!calah Walden, be appointed delegates TO said con
veDt!on. any three of whom may act.

Th,s meet,my not deemtpg it necessary to rciterale
the numerous md ia our opinion well founded objec-
tons to the election of Gen Jackson as President of the
l.. States, Of many of our fellow citizens, recently
expressed aud published. will therefore content our
solves with an expression of our firm conviction of his
being totally destitute of those moral and intellectual
qualities, which are requisite tn a candidate for that
important and Responsible office. We believe that the
devotion manifested by many citizens for Gen. Jackson
IS produced by Il blind enthusiasm for the military cha
racter and the achievement Of the memorable battle of
Naw Orleans, aud not from a conviction of his civil
qualifications, or that his election 10 the Presidency,
will promote The welfare and happiness of the American
people.
That there mag exis; some exceptions 10 the present
administration OF the general COVE. nneat, we are free
10 confess; nevertheless we believe that upon an impair
tiai and caudId investigation thereof being made, 1t will
be found that the general policy of the government,
sinCa the appointment OF Mr. adams TO the Presidency,
has beeu IN the administration the eof founded upon
principles agreeing with those adopted by has predeces
sors in Office; and Tue highest confidence may be safe
~ placed IN the aC acknowledged abilities, long expert
cnce and einiucut virtue of John Q. Adams.
Resolved therefore, That we will use all lust and
proper measures IN our power to defeat the election OF
Gen, Andrew jackson 10 the Presidency Of he United
States.
Resolved, That this meeting strongly approve o:
sending Delegates to the convention 10 be held in
Richmond Oh the Ssh of January next, and That To
bert Pollard aud Doctor George Claiborne be and they
are hereby appointed TO represent this county in sNid
convention.
Resolved, That Philip W. Claiborne, John Vass

Thomas Moss, Thomas w. Todd, Baylor Walker, Jas.
Smith, James Croxton, and Robert b.. Gaines be APP
pointed a committee of correspondence, who shall be
authorized tn correspond with other committees through
out The State upon the subject OF the preceding reso-
iutions.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be
