Governor OF the state and veteran republican,
was nominated Eector Tor the district. a repub-

feeling and in principle; because his administration
has been eXtravagant and wasteiul; because his
policy has been directed TO an eDcroachment upon

and exercised power not granted by the constitu-
| ton; because he has wasted the public funds by
useless and expensive embassies; because he has
multiplied Offices, in order 10 reward his favorites
because he has lost the West India trade; because
| he has tamely submitted to gross outrages on our
| commerce and the persons OF our seanen; because
he was an apostate from the federal party and en-
| tered the democratic ranks from selfish views, and
because in order to his election to the pres

leaders OF the party he had once abandoned, al
though al the time OF such abandonment he accus-
ed such party Of reasonable esgns''-The fol-
lowing resolution was agreed to by the Jackson
meeting at Miville, knderhook 4" ReSOiced,
That as tederaliSts we cannot support for the high

justified his apostacy from that party on their al

as americans we will not support him because we

bargain with. bitter competitor and against the
wishes OF majority of the peoples because he has
iahored TO perpettste his power by using the pat

because under pretence of public necessity he has
tspatched foreign missions and agents or the pur-
pose oil rewarCng from the public Golfers retainers
and favourites; and finally because in the admins
tra'ion OF the government he has given construc-
