cause he possesses not a single qualification
for the discharge of the duties of The high

ton 10 the object for which the meeting had
been convened. Resolutions we're then In.
troduced BY Constantine l.. Banner, ESQ.
John NJ. Morehead, Esq, OF GUtlord Coun.
", who was casually present, being called
upon from all parts OF the house, rose and
delivered very animated, able, and appro-
pirate speech. +" He reviewed the course
pursued BY Van Buren, and the "spoIIs par.
W" and their ridiculous Inconsistency 10 as.
sUmlng TO themselves the whole democracy
OF the country. He SAID that he voted Tor
Gen. Jackson IN lo24, l-29, and -32, a.
galnst hing Caucus, and that he would vote

letter SAID to have bee0 written by Gen.
Jackson, approving Of the Baltimore eau.

Mr.. Van Buren,, as he was the chairman

nominated Mr. Crawford but that original

, absurd to be acknowledged. And in fine,
, he portrayed the Inconsistency Of the Van

such striking evidences of truth, that the
meeting frequently responed with hrarty
, cheers.
. The spirited preamble and resolutions in.
troduced by Mr.. Banner, we're then unanI
mousIy adopted. And finally Thomas
Settle, ESQ.,, of Rockingham, was recon.
