 INSCRIPTIONS
 |. Resoipea, lhat we have the greatest corl- tidence in the integrity, patriotism aud political wisdom of Andrew Jackson, President of the United States.
 2. Resotped, That the payment of the Nation- s,i eibi, ought to be the first object to which tie effort of tie administration should be directed; !; and the solcitude sf the President to extingaish this national burthcn, commands our unquaI- lied appreciation.
 5. lssesolved, That we dsappreYc of the gen EoraI government being stock holders in the cor porat.ons created by the several states; and moreover, ifis calculated to give the general government T monied influence in the states not contemplated by the constitution, and must lead to unjust combinations in congress.
 f. ReSoked, That the President ef the Unit 9d States is entitled to the gratitude of the na- tioa, for hisreieetion of the Lexington and Mays lille turnpike road bii. On thisfnoortant sub feet, he exhibited the same ardent patriotism and invinclble flrmness, which distinguished his conduct on that memorable occasion, when the troops underwater, woh for themselves and their lliustrieus general; such imperishable renown,
 ,. Resofzed, That tho course pursued by the President, in exchanging land with tie southern Indians, and inducing them to emigrate beyond fhe White settlements. meets our Narsnest appro- tsaton; and althongi, the opposition have seized on this subject to enlist the sympathies Of the American people, in behalf of the Indians, and -oarray q formidable best against the President. who has accomplished 1t, yet VIC are confident III the aeief, that large majority of the na- ton will sanction measure oI such .lncacula- bic advantage to the Hnlon, and the states where the ssdians now reside, and as the only means aH preserving the Indians in distinct and se trace.
 z. Reso}ped, That the censure bestowed on {he President, by Mir. Clay and his friends for aas measures in exchanging and purchasing the land q the Indians, plainly exhibit thes hypoc yls} ard disregard of principle. When the same policy was recommended by Mir Adams and Mir. Claw, it was regarded by their follow CTS, as highly beneficial and proper; but failing san their efforts to succeed. they now condemn General Jackson, because his superior wisdom and influence has accomplished this highly im- pertant object.
 7.

Aud tt Is confidently believed that our minister to Ira ace viii bring to successful close the claims son tiiat government, which has been source of so much perplexity to all preceding adminstra- -..iisHss. -..iisHs
 s. kesoisea, That ii was wise and polite in sre President to recal the ioreignministers ap- pointed by Mr. Adams, and to fill their stations witt men in whom he had confidence, and who would ably second hls views in placing our in- tereourse with foreign nations on that elevated ground.in whichhe has so happily succeeded The charge that their recalls are a wastehll ex- yenditure of money, is false and unfounded.--- By srsserence to tne pubic documents we find tisat the expedtnfssa E t.s isls' Yer ef Wr. Ad- sadministrahoniordi diplomatieinter was near thirteen thoasaad atiiafs more than the sum expended during the first year of General .Jacssson's administration.
 9 Reso{red, That the system of accountabil. sty ard strict adherence 10 the law introduced by the President into ali the departments of the government cannot fail to be highly beneficial fptlac nation. While it gives promptncss and .siespatgh to publks business, it will insure the treasury against such depredations IS were com
