various ways and in all quarters OF the country, as
the canGitlae of the oppostIon and we consider 1t
The dutv of all good citizens to use every means In
their power for tle purpose Vi ehecuhg HIS eIec-
tion.
Without meaning to encourage an undue conf
dence which would only generate inactivity, we
believe that, with proper exertons, the success of
the good cause is beyond the possibility Of doubt.
The present administration has been for some time
past Justly discredited in public opinion, and Gen
eral Jackson, from being the most popular has be-
come of the most unpopular men in the coun-
try Whole sectious of the Union have been ali
enated by his strange aud inconsistent course up
on the tariff and internal improvement. Extensive
Interests have been thrown into opposition by his
reckless and unaccountable denunciation of the
Bank. His ablest adherents among the public
writers have deserted him-and ifany considerable
portion of rejecting men still followed his stand
ard the late wanton attack upon the judiciary de-
partment must have driven them from it in disgust.
The unity of his adherents is completely broken
up by the late open rupture between the Vice Pres
ident and the Secretary of State and at this mo-
ment the NATIONAL RRPU BLioAN party is I'M
doubleday by far the strongest ia the country
Under these circumstances it is quite apparent that
nothing is wanted but zeal activity and concert to
ensure success.
With these views of the present posture of pub
lie affairs and in reference to the approaching cleo
of the great officers of State and general Gov
eminent, the Convention have unanimously adopt
ed the following Resolutions.
ReSOleed, Thatthe ability, discretion, and i'm.
partially with which His Excelency, LEVI LIN
COLIN, has administered the affairs of this Com
monwealth for several years past have entitled him
to the confidence of all the gond people thereof anC
that cordially recommend him to our fellow cit
liens candidate for the office of GOVERNOR a
the approaching election.
Resolved, That we highly appreciate the ser
vices Of His Honor, THOMAS l.. WINTHROP
as LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, and cordially recon
mend him a candidate for that Office at the ap
proaching election.
ResOlved, That the present administration oil
the Government ofthe U. States by their blind de
votion TO party-their abandonment of the grea
interests to which they were pedged-ther con
tlnual attacks on the most important national es
Enlistment economical, financial and judiciary
and by generally partial, incompetent and I'M u
dicious conduct of the public affairs have forfeited
the confidence OF the people and have rendered il
the imperative duty of all good citizens to concur
in opposing their continuance in power.
Resolved, That we feel the fullest confidence in
the qualifications of HENRY CLAY of Kentucky
for the Chief Magistracy of this great Republic
that we believe him to be firm and true adheren
of the principles and establishments that form thu
basis of the prosperity of the country, that con
slider it the duty of all the friends of the Constitu
ton and the Union-of domestic industry and in
ternal improyement-of the Judiciary and tn
Bank-of the inviolate preservation of the publ
faith and of the honor, peace and happiness of tn
people, to give him their active, Jealous and unit
ed support-and that we accordingly rscommen
him to fellow citizens as the National Repul
Iican Candidate for the Presidency, exhoring ther
to use all fair and honorable means to promote hi
election. GEORGE BLAKE, Chairman
