every faint of servilty and deceit, because public
records and private traditions bear testimony to
his bravery, his industry, his humanity, his hon.
esty, and his talents-to the correctness of his
motives, the soundness of his Judgment, and the
benevolence of his disposition, and because we
do not behevc it is the wish of free and great
ful people, that this brave soldier, well tried
patriot, profound statesman, high minded gen.
tleman, and industrious and faithful public ser
want, should 60 unrewarded; and while we la
ment a division which seems to threaten the
friends of the present Administration in the
choice of Vice President, we take occasion here
to disclaim all participation it, 1t is sincere
desire to promote the prosperity of our countr, I,
|by promoting a gentleman who has evinced to
the people of the whole nation, but particularly
to the new States, his desire to serve them, who
reigns predominant in the affections of the Amer-
can people, and who is every way qualified to pro-
mote the public good.
In regard to the reelection Of our worthy and
distinguished Chief Magistrate, whose glorious
services, throughout long and eventtul life, has
|shed such renown upon the character of his coun
TRY, we will unite our efforts in securing his re-
ELECTION, and hope that nothing will be done by
his friends in the least calculated to lessen his
prospects of success. which would certainly be
the case if effort should be made to force upon
the people an, obnoxious individual for the Vice
Presidency We have hitherto bestowed upon
him the most active support, and for his future
success we have a great desire and the fullest
confidence He who has stood by his country in
the hour Of peril, and risked his lie and fortune
in defence of the rights and liberties of the ma
ton, will always lie affecionately remembered by
la grateful people.
We hope that those who differ with us in re-
gard to our choice of Vice President, will have
more charity than to say, that we are striving to
lprodhce a division in the ranks of General Jack.
lsons friends. Such an idea would be as unbound
/ ed as it is unjustifiable. Those who have sane
| toned this meeting, and approved the proceed
lngs we have adopted, have been too firm, devo-
| led, and unwavering in their attachment to Gen
|eral jackson to warrant such an impression.
From the very first time his name was an
lnounced as candidate to the nation for Presi-
dent, they became, and have continued ever since,
his warm and active supporters; they were
found in his ranks when he had but few friends
and have given repeatedly, such evidences Of
theit attachment and zeal, in the cause of that
distinguished veteran-that the people will be sat
listed that their can be nothing our part, bu
a desire to promote the cause of tina. worthy and
patriotic man.

lected as candidates for Electors, to wit: Hon
II. NJ. Young, Daniel Stookv, Col. Lane, Col
Frye, & Gen. Leech; they have long been known
to be devoted to the cause of Gen. Jackson, ano
should they be honored with the support of the

terained of their faithfully and scrupulously sup
porting the cause of that party.
