Judge Bucl is Van Buren, Jackson man, and
must therefore play this part, abandon his charac
ter. But to show that at Albany, correct views
o this subject still prevail, we copy the proceednssi
part OF meeting Of the Albany Central Correspond
ing Committee, held March 18th. Here will be
found an awful squirting to those m en- who would
sacrifice the American System rather than the sue
cess OF General Jackson. Such men live in Alba
ny, and even within gun shot of where this is wrtten
"lnasmuch as this committee still entertain full
and undminished confidence in the wisdom, disin-
terestedness and patriotism of the said Harrisburg
Convention they have perceived with alarm and
deep regret that the majority of the committee on
Manufactures, in the House Of Representatives of
the United States, have reported to that House a
bili for its adoption, varying materially from the
plan recommended by the Harrisburg Convention.
And this committee have also perceived, with equal
regret, attempts in his and other parts of the ma,
ton, by men aVho recently, publicly and solemniy
declared their coriai concurrence the recommended
tons of The said Convention, to excite party preu-
dces injurious to the successful prosecution Of the
American System, and in opposition to the tariff
proposed by the Harrisburg Convention.
Therefore Resolved, That we continue to enter
tain undimnished confidence in the salutary effects
which would be produced by the adoption of the
measures recommended by that Convention, cOmpos-
ed as it was of distinguished agrculturalists and
manufacturers, who unanimously agreed upon a
proportionate rate of duties adequate for the proec-
ton of the interest of each of these great and respect
able classes of citizens.
Resolved, That we seriously apprehend that the
support of material departure, By any considera-
bic proportion cMe members Of Congress represent
ing the grain groaoing states, from the plan recon-
r,aeaded 5y the said convention at Harrisburg, will
prevent any revision of the tariff during the present
session of Congress- result which we believe would
be deeply injurious to the best and most efficient in
terest Of the nation.
Resolved, That we consider the amendments Of
fered by the Hon. r. c. Mallary, to the said bill as
in accordance with the system recommended by the
Harrisburg Convention, and that we cordially ap
' prove of said amendments.
