The Arkansas advocate., 1836-07-15

r----....zr--rzz.zz en. and well known fact in the history of MT Van Bu- ren's political career that in 1872. when the Federal party put forth their utmost energies to overthrow MT Madison and the Republican pafty---when the war with Great Britain fragrant, and 1t of the ut- most importance to the safety of the country that the party which sustained se war should shew undivid ed front to the euemy--he joined the Federal party and the opposition in New York, in an intrigue 10 de feat Mr Madison's election by running De Witt Clin- ton. This conduct on the part ot Rlr Van Bufen, could not be sufficiently atoned for by his becoming furious partzan of the in ifs subsequent stages. Al all events, would afford more satisfactory evi- dence of the patriotic motives of those who appear to he now so mneh alarmed fur the unity of the party, If they had presented the people wilh q candidate who had not himself set the example of acting regardless o such fears, in aperod of public calamity and war, and when the public enemy sought to prostrate forever her great rival in commerce and navigation, by the dissolution of the unien of these Sates,-an event which she eagerly promoted and confidently expected.

 ResotUed, That cannot, consistently with our opi- nons of what constitutes the first and most essential principle in the creed of all repubcansthe per- feet freedom and unbiased exercise of the right o su frage by the people-subscribe to the proposition that submission to any particular form mode of appointing electing President of the United States, different from that prescribed by the Constitutions or that the election of any individual 10 inc presidency, for sue ceeding term, shall be regarded measure Of an ex listing administration; and therefore, in opposing the system of caucus nominations, and in opposing the election of Martin Van Buren, who is avowedly the candidate of that system, and of those who seek to make 1t permanent and universal in elections, both State and National, do not consider that do in any respect, fail fair, full and due support Of the pre- sent administration.
 Resoiued, That in the opinion of this meeting sys- lem of controlling elections to all high and important public trusts and ofices by caucus nomination., would be violation of the spirit of the Constutionthat it would inevitably lead to frequent combinations between a few se-appolned leaders of party 10 cooperate Tn all their movements and to accommodate their pfnci- pes the single object of obtaining power and sharing among themselves and their parisans the offices and and entire patronage of the Governmen and that such n system, when sanctioned by the acquiescence of the people, and put into full operation in majority the States of the Unon UH be faol 10 LIBERTY it. seE
 Resolued, That consistent adherence to the prinei ples upon which Gen. Jackson first brought out candidate by the people of this State, and upon which they have supported hun since, requires that they should resist, by ali lawful and honorable means, tie first serious and concerted effort under whatever pre- text ii may be disguised, defeat the free and unbi assed expression of the will of the people in the cleo ton of an officer of so much importance to dearest rights and interests, the President of the United Sates..
