stitution, thar he course OF policy, which
has governed his administration, is in
conformity 10, and sanctioned by the
preceden.s of Jefferson, Madison and

Resoived, That the commercial ar
rangements, which he has SO succe ssiul-
Iy accomplished, with France, England,
Denmark, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico g.
with Turkey, and Austria, have confer
red great advantages upon the United
States, restored or confirmed harmony
between this and those nations, and ele-
vated our national character.
Resolved, That in the opinion Of this
Convention, his vETo upon the Mays
vile Road, was an act Of indispensable
duty by which, unnecessary and danger
Gus expenditures of the peoples money
were arrested, and a reprOving check
given To UNAUTHORIZED AND UNCONsTI-
TUTIoNAL LEGISLATION.
Resoived, That we highly approve of
the principles, and sentiments Of patriot
ic republicanis,n, contained in his Mes
sage on the rejection of the United

siitution, "a SPLENDID ASSOCIATION OF
FAVORED INDIVIDUALS" possessing MO-
NoPoLiEs, PRIyILEGEs, EXEMPTIONS and
POWERS, dangerous to our civil mstitu-
tions, subversiye of the liberties of the
people, aud the independence Of the sew
eral States, an institution, which has
boldly attempted, by force Of its WEALTH
and INFLUENCE, To CORRUPT and sUBsr-
DIE THE PUBLIC PRESS, aud vitiate the
National Counsels, 10 coutrol and des-
troy the freedom ofthe elective franchise
TO elect its own candidates for office, in

to retain its privileges, which in the Ian

calculated ''io make the rich richer-&
the poor-poorer J"

it, as u tribute OF respect to his disiin-
guished virtue and public services--re-
flung effscfuaiIy, the debasing position
that the reputation Of a citizen. howev-
er uuexceptionable or eminent, can be
blasted or slandered by the junction Of
men of directly opposite parties, agree
ing only in one point of personal resent

making TO impress upon the religious
part of the community, belief that the
President il the solo caueo of confning z
