.ead, amended. and unanimously adopted, viz.
hpsotrpd, That we have the greatest reliance on
HE virtues. the talents, the pat, iutlsm. and the
sterling integrity of the . Tennessee Farmer
Andrew Jackson: that gratitude points to him. as
the man, who. having pcriled life and fortune for
lie defence Of our beloved Country, is entitled to
Us highest rewards: that he, who in the trying
moments of adversely, having proved himself faith
tal in the discharge OF every duty, is certainly
worthy of any trust, in the hours of prosperity !;
that, malignant as has been the breath OF calumny
against him, it has only marked in an eminent de-
gree, the many virtues which have adorned the
path OF this citizen soldier that the dearest rights
of freemen. and Americans are closely connected
with his elevation to the Presidential chair, and
that his election is essentially necessary for the
preservation OF our consttu ton, aud our free in
stltutions from the grasp Of ambition, and the in
trigue of designing dcmagosues.
That we place the same reliance in John G. Cal.

Rpsolced, That the reelection Of John Quincy
Adams. would be the knell Of departing liberty IN
our Coantry that he is undcserying the support
of freemcn, because g he has disregarded and

by the most unjustiiiablc and relentless persc-
cnlion Of the spirited and gallant Porter--hc

that brave defender of the flag y because
!" he has wasted the public money, and brought
ldcule upon the Nation by his Quixotic and
