Joseph Hoxie, Esq offered the following reso-
lutions which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the citizens here assembled con-
demn and depIore the administration OF Andrew
Jackson; during whose short and withered career
Il, President of the United States, we have seen
the national honor Frustrated abroad-the right Of
personal liberty trampled upon at home--our public
faith pledged by treaty, volated--the Constitution
disregarGcd-the laws unexecuted-the written
promises of the Chief Magistrate broken-the
second officer of the government insulted--the Sc
nate deDounced-the representatives of the people
pointed to as fit objects of personal volence--the
honest exercise of opinion punished criminal
the honors and rewards of the nation held forth as
victorious spos--thc interest of Commerce sacri-
heed TO maritime rival-the fruits of agricultu-
raj enterprise depreciaed-the efforts of domestic
industry depressed-the march of internal improve
mcnt arrest ed-tho public treasure wasted--thc
minister's of religion illegally imprisoned--the Ju-
dietary Knocked and proscribed--and the blessed
union of these States, brought, by selfisfncss ia
vor, and mbeciiity, to tho very verge of dissolu-
ton.
Resolved, That we see with alarm the svstemat-
ic eiforts TO enthrall citizens employed by the
Albany RSgency-who adding to the arts hitherto
used by them to the people the trouble of self
government, are now aiming TO control the whole
m"nied power ofthis State; by means of which Gf
lett without check) they can extend their grasp
to the concerns ofevcry citizen, and punish him in
his prosperity for offences of political opinion.
Resolved, That the present crisis in our affairs
of the General and Slate Governments makes if
incumbent OH every good citizen to exert nil his
influence to free us from existing and impending
evils-and that we hail with pleasure, that mani
testation OF public spirit throughout the State
which valves for the present, all subordinate diff.
ierenceS ot sentiment, to attend 10 the paramount
duty NJ SGpiBg the cOuafrg.
Resolved That we highly approve of the pro.
ccedings of the convention of National Republi-
can delegates held at Utica on the 25th day Of July
last; that we will heartily support at the ensuing
election, FRANCIS GRANGER as Governor. and
SAMUEL STEVENS as Lieutenant Governor
of the Slate, and also the Electoral Ticket headed
JAMES KENT and JOHN G.. SPENCER.
Resolved That we cordially respond to the no.
limitations made at Baltimore by the National Re-
publican General Convention of HENRY CLAY
OF kentucky. as President, and JOHN SER
CEANI, OF Pennsylvania, Vice President of
tho u States. Should the patriotism Of the people
advance them to these stations the friends of Ii
bcrty throughout the world, may proudly point to
the United States, To- shcw tho wisdom, the hap
piness, and the pigogr Of Republic.
Resolved, That consider sound currency
as indispensable to the success of our Commerce
Agriculture and Manufactures. That, upon none
do the evils of doprcciated paper more sorely
press, than on the Industrious enterprisinp, and
working classes Of society;-and that we
should behold, with despair, a return Of those
tunes OF calamity, when the productions of the
Farmer, the commodities Of the Merchant the tolls
ana pcrlls OF the Mariner, and the labor of the
acchanic and Artzdn, were paid for in rag ,noney
only to be cashed by means oflarge allowances for
discount and brokerage
Resolved, That the ntimation contained in the
lale veto Message, that before they acted on
subject OF crcatnational moment the Congress Of
the UnIted States oughtto have consulted the will
ana pleasure of the Executive, is daring outrage
on INC rights of The pcople--shows the ignorance
OF contempt of tho Representative principle-and
was ut only to BIO addressed to tho creatures Of
dcSpoi
Resolved, That the doctrine boldly avowcd in
the same message, that tho Constitution Of the u.
states means my Hi0g m nothing, according to
tho interpretations Of the Chief Magistrate, Anne
vital stab at the great charter of our liberties.
Such prctcnsion removes all the restraints impo.
sed by our system of government and, if submit
ted to- would give ojsoiutc m0aarch, under tho
name Of President
