were unanimously adopted:
We, portion of the citizens Of Albemarle, as
semblcd to take into consideration the propricty
appointing Delegates to the Convention to be held
in this place the 18th inst, deem it proper that
we should, in brief manner declare the principles
by which actuatod on this occasion
We view with the ivcliest interest the approach.
ing election of Vice President of the United a,es
We feel the most anxious soicitude in the result of
that election because of the efforts that are made to
elevate TO that high and responsible station a n in.
dividual whose principles are adverse to our own
and in whose political character we do not recog.
nize those traits which ought TO commend him ia
our confidence and support. We believe, that to
support an individual who has advocated measures
which we consciehtiously consider a violation OF
the Constitution of the United States, would be a
virtual abandonment of those principles which we
have been taught to revere the basis of our Re-
publican form of Government. Nothing but the
most lmpcrous necessity could induce to sup.
o.
ted for the Tariff of 1927 and 1925 fraught
with the most noxious princIpcs-Ineasure which
are now shaking this Union to it's vcry centre and
which threaten TO break up and destroy il forever
Acting upon those principles which have been
lnculcated by the fathers of the Constitution and
which have heretofore characterized Yirrinia,s
proud and cnviable career, we resolved to use
our best endcavors to secure the election of TINT in
dNduai, whose whole political life has been ardent
~ devoted to the support of our principles and who
is, IN every respect worthy tho support of the Re-
publican party throughout the United States-
Therefore,
st, Resolred, That Philip p. Barbour unites
within himself all the requisite qualifications C,,r
the office of Vice President of the United States
and that 10 support him, is to MAINTAIN that con
SiStency and those principles which VIC are resolved
not TO abardoD to surrender.
I'd RssoLced, That we approve of Convention
OF delegates proposed to be held in this place, on
the 18th inst for the purpose of adopting measures
to secure the election of Andrew Jackson as Presi-
dent, and Philip p. Barbour as Vice President, of
