Nir. Binns reported the following Resolutions
senting voice:
hesoioed, As the opinion OF the Convention, that
INC proceedings OF the present Administration OF
inc Gcncrai Government have been characterized
oy an earnest devotion to the Republican princi-
pies ana usages OF III cir predecessors by steady
anu Wakeful attention to the domestic interests and
industry OF the American People; and by n pro-
per regard 10 the national rights and dignity, in
'helr intercourse ,T; with foreign Governments
Reso!ccd, That the tirmncss and sagacity of the
present National Administration in refusing IN
submit to the unjust and vexatious orders in
council oil the British Government, in relation 20
the trade of the West India Islands, cntitIe them
10 the thanks and gratitude Of the American People
IfeSolreG, That, by encouraging Domestic man
| uiactures and prosecuting the great plans of IN
terna; improvements; the sources Of public and
private prosperity will be enlarged, and the union
Of the States will be more efIectually cemented.
heso'oed; That in the present happy and pros
porous condition of our beloved country, when all
classes and sections under the blessings of Di-
vine providence, fiourishing and contented, be-
yond cXamplc,it seems TO US that, TO depart from
the well established custom of rcelecting Pre-
Suent Tor the second term of four years, even for
the purpose of introducing n statesman of euuaI
aoiliues and character, would not COMFORT with
the principles of prudent and rejecting people.
Hesotree, That when VIC contemplate the cha
ractcr and liabilities of General Jackson: his &C
knowiedged incapacity Cor civil Offices: his military
temper and love OF arbitrary dominion: his igno-
rance Of the Constitution and principles Of our Co
vernmcnt: his repeated violations of the laws by
which the personal safety of the citizen is guaran-
ted-and his indifference, If not hostility TO the
great American System, upon which our prosperi-
ty depends, we find additional and most powerful
motives to oppose any change in the Executive, at
the next Presidential election
Reso'1cd, That, with the late lamented Jefferson,
we deprecate the nomination TO the office of Pre-
sdent OF al individual merely on the ground of
his military exploits, event of more alarming
import than any thing which has occurred since
the Revolution.
ReSo!red, That the pure and honest lie, the
plain republican simplicity, the various learning.
and long public experience If John Quincy Ad-
ans, both qualify AMI en:itle him to the contnu-
ance OF the confidence of a People, whose inter
ests ne has every where promoted with ability and
RESOLVED, That we have witnessed with hipf
satisfaction and pride, the wise and patriotic course
OF the present Administration of this Common
wealth. in respect to the great interests of Pcnnsyl-
vana, for which they are entitled to the gratitude
and undivided support of the people
