and IN his usual able and eloquent manner en-
forced the propriety Of the following resolutions.
They were seconded by James Harper, Esq, and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting regard the re-
election Of Andrew Jackson to the presidency OF
the United States, as the most serious calamity
winch can affl,ct the country: that under con-
tinuance of his administration, the constitution
must prrish--manufsctures be para yzed inter
pal improvements cease-a vitiated currency
overflow the land--the moral tone OF the commu-
nity be degraded. and our republican institutions
suffer in the estimation of the world
Resolved. That being fully convinced that an
union Of all parties who are opposed to his re.
election, cannot fail to deprive hun OF the cleo
toral vote Of Pennsylvania, and being anxious
that such vote NAV be secured to a candidate who
respects the constitution. recognizes the supre-'
macy of the laws, and understands the true in
tetests of the country, we do most cordially ap-
prove Of the proceedings Of the National Repub-
iioao Convention lately held at Harrisburg, and
10 solemnly pledge ourselves by everv honora-
BILE effort to suppnrt the Anti ackson ticket no.
minated bv that convention.

raj election has demonstrated, beyond doubt,
the existence OF large AntiJackson majority in
the state Of Pennsylvania: that while il holds
out to the friends Of rational liberty and Of the
constitution the most flattering assurance Of sue
cess on the Cd Of November next. il furnishes al
so the most poxerfu motives for active. vigor-
Gus, aud combined exert,ons on the part OF all
who are truly animated by love Of their country,
and who appreciate the weakness, hypocrisy, and
ruinous tendency Of the present administration.
Resolved. That we hail with especial satisfac-
ton the return of majority OF the members to
the state Legislature, who are opposed to the re-
election of General Jackson, and we confde in
that body to sustain the true interests aud policy
OF Peunsylvania. and to support her republican
character with increased energy.

weakness Of the arguments and the falsehoOd of
the charges with which that institution has been

the triumph of corruption truth. ofignorance.
avarice and uuprinciped speculation, over the
practical blessings Of a sound national currency.
Resolved That the protection o domestic ma
nufactures. the prosecution of internal improve
ment. the maintenance of u sound national cur
rency, the integrity Of the constitution, and the
supremacy Of the laws, are cardinal points to
which we should look TO IN the choice Of a Pre-.
sdent; and we therefore call upon our fellow. CT.

Us. in opposing the election Of Andrew jackson,
the ayowed enemy of these important interests.
the practical despiser Of these sacred principles
Resolved. That among the encroachments made
By the friends of the administration Of the Gene.
raj Government upon the liberties of the citizen,
none have been more daring than the attempts to
overawe the modest, the>retiring. and the reIi-
sious portion Of our community. In the prospe-
ritv Of the country none have more important
interest; and in its peace and vIrtuous character
few have so lively concern. And il is the du-
ty OF all gaOd citizens TO resist the attacks upon
body OF our fellow. citizens who have been hith-
erto tastidious in sustaining from interference in
our public affairs; and who now feel themselves
compelled by sense Of duty to come forward
anu oppose the baneful system of msasars adop-
