T. Knight and Frederick Stoever. were elected
Vice Presidents; Antony Lausat, George N
Baker, Col. T. w. L. Freeman and John L.
Frederick, were appointed Secretaries.
The chairman explained to the meeting the
principles upon which he had been induced to
vote for the re-charterng OF the Bank Of the UNI
ted States. Ali representatives were bound by
the declared will Of their constituents. and all
that he had ever sought was the expression OF
that will. The sources of information to which
he had access. the vote of the Legislature. the
public papers and private letters, all seemed to
designate the Bank as Pennsy lvana's favorite.
He had therefore submitted himself to what
seemed the public voice, and he must declare
that the fault lay not with bis own feelings or his
own will.
The chairman sat down amid loud cheering
Col. James Page, after some PREDATORY remarks,
offered the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, Andrew Jackson, the hero of New
Orleans and the man Of the peoples choice, in
the exercise Of his high prerogatives as President
of these United States, has deemed It necessary
to put his veto upon the bill re-chartering the
Bank of the u. States-and whereas this act has
elected on the part Of our political opponents
proceedings of the most incorporate character,
and it becomes the duty, as it is the right, Of the
people to express their sentiments upon q sub.
ject of such vital importance to the cause. of the
country and the perpetuity Of our republican in
stitutions-Therefore,
Be It resolved, That, reposing, as We do, un.
limited confidence in the purity and patriotism
Of Andrew Jackson, we can only perceive in his
late message additional evidence Of that spirit Of
independence and unaterable attachment to
country, for which he has ever been distinguish
ed, and IN which it will be our pleasure and
pride at all times, and under all circumstances,
to sustain him.
Resoiued, That Andrew Jackson deserves the
thanks OF the country for his faithful. fearless,
and upright discharge Of executive duties; more
especially for his anxious vigilance in the pro-
lection Of equal rights and the defence Of the
people against odious and dangerous monopolies.
RssotUed, That in Andrew Jackson we recog-
nize the friend of every class in the community,
whether high or low, rich or poor, the support
er of constitutional doctrine. the advocate Of de-
mocratic principles, the hero. the. patriot and
statesman; in fine, the man who has filed the
measure Of his country's glory, its Saviour in
time Of war, its guardian in time Of peace, liv-
ing monument that republics are not ungrateful.
RESOLVED, That any act of the Bank of the
United States or its corrupt dependents identify
ing the next Presidential election with the ques-
ton Of renewed charter, would be conclusive
evidence that the institution seeks to control the
political destinies of our country, % interference
with the elective franchise, as odious as it is dar-
ing, which should be promptly met and signally
defeated.
Resolved, That all movements Of the Bank,
however disguised, which diminish the freedom
