Srs--A number OF citizens OF this place Having
convened, this evening for the purpose OF expressing
their perfect appreciation Of the policy pursued in the
recent administration Of their Beloved country, and
their admiration Of the purity faithilncss aud ability
displayed III the whole official conduct of the distn-
Snshed individuals with whose counsel and co-opc.
ration you conducted 1t, appointed the undersigned
committee to convey TO you these sentiments Ut the
meeting.
Situated. Us the State Of Ohiois. remotely from nj
foreign commerce.. III the advantages of which she
never enjoy other than an indirect articulation
and possessing within herself all the requisites of c.
tent of territory eNubcranoe of soil and hen bfness
or climate WHICH eau make her citizens wealthy rn,v-
orul independent and consequently happy people
n is unQueeiDnably hcr cardinal interest that her do.
mestc resources should be made availl-c as may
DE consistent with s prosperity of her sister States
This 1T is very plain To be- observed can only he
complshed By the adoption, the part of the cener-
al government, Of sich policy as Will bring into re-
QUESTION the products Of her SOIL All other interests
arc therefore, with subordinate TO- however init
mately they may he connected with, the arricultt-
ra-~hch can only flourish where there exists de-
mand tor the fruits of the field the grand secret III
secret 1t he) OF producing which is To enable the
farmer to supply not only with the necessary mems
of subsistence, but with the raw material the manu-
tacurer Of his Clothing and Of the implements OF nus
bandry, in a word, the fabrcator of the numerous
articles which civilization has made'uccessary 10 our
comfortable existence and our healthful irynrias
Thus circumstauced, and willingly conccdinp to the
general goveehment what the father of its consttu-
ton has recently declared have been conceded by
ds trainers, the entire an, exclusive power of recula-
ting this vital interest, NAV Judge with what con-
cern the citizens of this state will ALWAYS look TO the
executive branch ofthe general government for de-
cIded and cordial support Of policy which shall not
cripple and endangcr it. The happy and iudicious
selections made by you of the counseors and Coop
orators IN your administration and especially the con-
hdence rcposcd in that eminent individual who had
formerly, in the Legislative hall of the nation won for
himself theproud appeation of the eloquent champi-
on ofthe rights and the interests of the West was at
once guarantee that, far your advice and re-
concentrations would be effective, our cause should
not be neglected. II is not necessary to say that
our sanguiRe anticipatons have been fully realized
by subsequent acts aud results. The uneoualled
prosperity and happiness not restricted to snule
state or section of the country but diised through
out the land, speak language much more significant
than words can convey. The annals of history will
tell that the period of your administration has been
the most peaceful, prosperous, and salutary for the
country, that has transpred since the establishment
OF our independence and will direct the attention of
unborn millions, particularly to those stupendous
works for the internal Improvement of these United
States, both commenced and continued under your
as the proudest achievements for
peaceful people of this any other age.
Entertaining these views Of what we believe to be
the true interests not Of any single state but of all
the States ofthe Union, and having as we have said
in you cordial supporter of them we were of thoso
who earnestly advocated the propricy of your re
ton rather than commit the helm Of state into the
hands OF one whose opinions upon this important sub
cet appeared doubtful, at least, to us but MAORI
ty OF the Citizens of Ohio, confidently believing that
change would be effected in the measures of the
government and wishing Que only ofthe officers who
administer It, have chosen to elevate that individual
to the station YOU occupied. Protesting, as we do
be governed in our political conduct cyccsyclv h,
firm adherence to established principles, we shall
rejoice to be able 10 yield support TO your
II he shall Do governed III his official Course bv
the principles approve.
The feelings OF gratitude entertained by Tie meet
ing, for the undivided efforts Of your able cabinet in
behalf of their countrys best interests are however
heightened in peculiar degree whom we advert 10
the long, and interesting highly useful public career
ofyourself especially. What American can reparl.
without the lvcest emotions OF grateful heart tic
many acknowledged favors which his country has do
rived from the faithful exercise Of your talents in
some her most important and trying scenes3 Who
can See without mingled feelings 0? plea and re-
greet who, after having shared the confidence of
the Father Of his country, and each Of bis ilusrious
successors in the chair Of state, after havnr himself
conferred honor upon the same chair is now rstrinc,
yet prcmaturely for his country, TO the peaceful and
unrufiled walks Of private life5
Permit us here to express, for ourselves individu
ally rs well as in behalf Of those for whom we net
our sincere prayers and expectations that in the 70.
tlIginent you arc about to enjoy your private life
will not be less Pheasant and happy 20 yourself than
your public one has been useful, honorable and unCx
ceptionable TO your country.
