pinion dangerous to liberty and one that
ought to be put down by every American
citizen.
Rcsolued, That we consider the dlstn~
terested stand that the president has al 1
ways taken against this dangerous monied
corporation as deserving the heartfelt
thanks of his countrymen, and one which
will in our opinion be viewed by posterlty
as the noblest act of his momentous life.
Resolred, That the reasons given by The
secretary of the treasury for removing the
"deposites," from the United States Bank,
are in our opinion satisfactory, ond ii IN
any distress has taken place in the money
tvrannical acts of the bank itself, which
had predetermined to Cypress community,
as has been proved by an order entered on
its minutes, before the removal had taken
place, that it might force from congress
renewal of its charter
Resolred, That the conduct OF the Uni
ted States Bank in buying up Editors and "
spending large sums in electloneerng pur-
poses and intermeddling in our elections
to secure a majority in congress IN its ia
vor, and its attempt to defeat the election
of Andrew jackson in the last election; is
a gross assumption Of power in any corpor.
alton and ought to be met by free people
promptly, and treated as it deserves. :
Resolped, That we approve of the rea-
sons OF the president, in his veto message
lot what is called "Mr. Ciay's Land Bili;'
and his reasons for the reduction in price
of the refuse lands, as it is an act Of JUS
tice to the "New States" and no injury re-
sulung from it to the general government;
or TO other states of the Union.
Resoloed, That the policy of the present
administration towards foreign powers ''of
asking for nothing but what is right and
submitting to nothing that is wrong" is
policy becoming free people: just in it.
self and one which has already crowned
our negotiations under the present execu-
tive with success, and will ever command
respect abroad to our flag and to American
citizens.
Resolred, That the fearless and disin-
terested stand which Andrew jackson took
against notification, in favor of the con-
stltutional rights of the states, as we be-
lieve the trainers of the constitution under
stood them; and a lso his endeavors to bring
back legislation TO the obvious meaning Of
the constitution, and the reduction of the
Tariff 10 the revenue standard, meets with
our warmest appreciation.
Resolred, That as we joined 10 the cleo
! ton of general jackson for principles sake,
and from a just regard to his merit and
eminent pupiic services; that we think it
our duty still to give him fair and honora-
bic support while he acts agreeabIy to the
principles which influenced our choice, and
no longer.
Resolued. That those states Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jesey, Mississippi and
onio' Which gave majority OF their votes
to Andrew jackson; but now have men in
the United States senate opposing his ad-
, minlstratlon and defeating his best and
wlsest measures; have Justly complained
ana nave reason to complain of those gen-
tsemen, who are by every principle of our
government, misrepresenling the will of
their constituents.

friends do not think with us, on the quail

dency; or because they cannot think with
US on the politics to be persued-yet con-
sistency of conduct in us, requires, that to
give the president fair opportunity to car
ny out the wishes of those who elected him.
we should send men to congress and the
United States Senate, bearing with them
opinions and politics of the districts and
states they go to represent.
Resolred, That there is a greater strur-
gle between the two great parties of the
United States. going on at Washington and
elsewhere, than has been known since the
election of Andrew jackson TO the presi
dency, and that we cannot look with in
difference on the defeat of measures for
which we have so long contended and
which we think so intimately connected
with the welfare of our government.
Resolred, That these resolutions be
published in the Danville Enquirer and
that copies of the same be transmitted to
our members in congress, and to the presi-
dent and vice president of the United
states.
