regard TO the election ofndivdua to succeed the pre-

proper to declare their opinions expressed in the follow

list Rcsofrcd, That being far removed from any of
the ordinary temptations which may induce TO
sweTve from the path ofpropriety and patrotsm
y object which can possibly actuate them in any steps
which they may take with regard to public affairs must
be the preservation of that perfect civil and political IL
bcy obtained by the gallant efforts of ancestors and
secured by their wisdom III Constitution and Laws
the increase of the wealth. prosperity happiness of
their country and the preservation fits dignity and
waited character inasmuch the future welfare of them
selves and their children entirely depends upon the
tainment of these objects.
I'd Rcsoised Thai it has always seemed to them That
the prosperity and happiness of these States depend al
most entirely upon the preservation of that happy and
nice adjustment of powers between the States and Fcde
raj Government and the several departments of those
Constitutions; that they have always viewed violation
OF that adjustment, wicked treacherous and dam
gelons; that contemporary writings, reason and the
letter and spirit Of the Federal Constitution itself
all show that the States in the establishment of that
Government, only wished to establish common Co
yernment, which should manage such matters
1T would be iEconvcncnt impossible for the &C.
Parae states TO control with that energy and good poll
which would be conducive the prosperity of

eight sections Of the Constitutions such as are also
tuey necessary to carry those powers

ana as foreign and reP"gnunt to The spirit of the Cohs
odlous and oppressive 70 the people
80. Resolred, That especially admire the frmncss
and consistency Of the Republican administration of
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson: that the highest
praise rs due TO boh fo the irmness with which they
comDated the attempts at severance Of the Republic,
winch each of them had encounter: that no less me-
rt due 10 them for the energy with which they pros
traed the antiRepublican doctrines entertained and
enforced by their predecessors that we have seen i'm
neither of them intention or ATTEMPT to encroacb
on the rights OF the States or the coordinate departments
put an cad to such cncroachInents.
9TH Eesotrcd, That entertain high respect for orr
present Vice President, Martin Yan Buren, Of our sister
State OF New York. a distinguished and accomplished
member OF the Democratic party; that the best proof OF
his worth and ability is TO be found in the yirulen and
Puiul abuse poured upon him, by his dscon6ttcd and
disappointed opponents that regard his warm and
uniform support Of the present Administration times
OF difficulty as well as ofrepose Of which his enemies
accuse him a crime worthy of the highest admira-
ton, and the beat proofhc could have given of his firm
and consistency the faith of the Democratic Re.
publican party; that those who accuse him being Ma
gcan and intriguer Papst and of having designs Of
inermeddng with the slaves of the South must suppose
that there xss in the minds Of the people that degree of
,
only be found in the minds those who could seriously
maintain arguments as unfounded, unTcanine and alb
srdj and lastly that it shall good the Rcpub-
can Convention expected TO assemble at Baltimore on
the 10th inst TO present this gentleman to the Repubi-
can party candidate for the office Of President of the
United States, will give him cordial support.
9TH RosOired That regard distin gushed friend
and neighbour, Wijam {. Rires, as possessing such
degree of moral worth and weight Of character acco-
panied by such exalted abilities efnneny qualify him
for the Office Of Vice President Of The United States-
that VIC regard him as further entitled to il for the consist
ency and frmncss with which he has invariably sup
ported the rights Of the People and the principles Of tho
Democratic School, showing himself deaf to tic whis-
pcrng Of selfish ambition, and needless Of the bitter and
malicious tauDnQs Of his versarcs that the Delegates
