OF JeHeFSOh, WIN the iedfleSs6esS OF Jackson, 10
completing those great measures of Democrat
reform. and the only true American system
which, when fully established, will render this H.
freest, the happiest, the richest the greatest, an
the foremost Of all nations.
5. Rssoirsd, That in thus pouring forth Ii
heartfelt illusions of popular appreciation, it
not the man that we adulate, but the Preslder
we support, but that while Martin Van Buren,
thus true 10 the people, the people with all the
hearts, will be true TO him as their President.
6. Resoirsd. That suspension Of specie paw
meats, and the mons,rous paper money uyui
patton, which began in the worst days of Ehgli,
ohgarchy and have been more or less prevalet
ever since, I'LL tLeir present consummaton by
catastrophe common TO Great Britain and th
country, is a curse more fatal and disgrdcefi
than piracy, slavery, Intemperance, or any oihe
Of those most abhorred violations of law an
right, agains, which the virtuous and the tho lsht
ful all modern free people are acting togeihe
in one common bond of enthusiastic union tha
| the extinction of such curse is TO be desired Fl
| beyond the common ends Of party, or even IL
policy of government, and that we adjule NJ
Van Buren, never 10 stop or relent in his relorE
of such an evil, with the assurance that the pee
| pie, the whole people, and all but those who a.
the enemies of the people, will be his steadlas
| supporters, foreign nations his sincere admire
AM imltators, and history the record Of his re
nown rs great public benelactor.
Z. Resolred, That by the separation OF al
concerns Of State from all dealings with banks o.
corporations the greatest penls Of our happy
Union, the enormous expenses of our Govern
ment, and the only calamity CT our prospcrous
country, will bo imperceptibly removed and thui
in returning to the constitutional currency ofgold
and silver cash payment of all duties, and the lr
| flexible cxrpaton of all small noes, system
Of universal credit, free and equal exchange
and real protection to manufactures, agricultur.
| and commerce, will be permanently establshtd {,
unspeakably preferable to the complicated, artitI
cial, burthensone, unequal, unjust, and vain Of
templs, by which VIC have been struggling e.
render this country independent OF others aud
content with itself, while paper money, special
privileges, unconstitutional monopohes, and ban,
sovereignty, have been allowed to usurp pcrpleN
and PROSTATE the sovereignty, the interest, and
the cearest and dearest rights of the people.
s. Resoired, That early and deplomhle d.
parture at the foundation 81 our free institution
contrary TO the prophetic adnioni,ions Of then ira
mers from the broad and plain principles of un-
versal equality and simple government, wilhc
which even perfect liberty and universal suffice
are not enough, and the snheruncc Of enactment
both Nat, Jna and State, contrary 10 all our d.
larations ofnehts and the nature Of our free IN
stitulions, creating orders and conlering PRIV
lcgcs on a few in wrong of the many-aboye all,
for the fabrication Of spurious money now COZ
stitute the great evil, which il is the first and u-
gent duty Of eyer-vgunt republicanlsm, 10 eN-
.inguish, by the promptest and most radical mea.
ures that can be pursued without extreme njuy
| to the community.
0. Resolred, That in the report of the Seer
tary Of the Treasury, we recognize the abb
elaborate and plain exposition OF intricate sub
| iccts, which always characteristics the report ol
that interchangeable officer, and that his views tthn
| disease and The remedy deserve the thanks ofihe
people, and the earnest attention of Congress.
10. Resolred, That the Report Of the POI
Master General is another proof Of his supcriar
administration of that important Department, and
| that his firm however bold, resistance of the at
tempted violation Of law, by the substitution Of
paper for money, in payment Of postage, was q %
act highly honorable to that exemplary office
and well deserving the public acknowledgment
| H. Resolved, That should any receiver OF
public money dare 10 violate law and order, By
proposing paper for IL he should be instant y
dealt with as public delaultcr.
r. Resoirsd, That as citizens Of Pennsylya
MIA and Philadelphia, with shame and deep hr-
initiation we must own, tie most degraded and
uttermost sink of the paper money usurpailo
we are, above all others, especially called upou
to unite in supporting and checing The mild, "a
onal, but great reform which the Preslder'
Message recommends, and hat the Pennsyyu-
MIA Delegation Of both Houses in Congress, nc
reminded by this meeting that the vast resource s.
Of this central and powerful State, its public i'm
proyements, mineral, agricultural, manufacturr-
and commercial wealth and prosperity, The
growth of its eastern and western cupltal. nov
temporarily checked and embarrassed by bed
culrency-above ALL the credit and honor Of ;.o
State, all depend for their revival ana develop

MA the foremost Of these United States, up .
prompt restoration Of the currency TO the cons %
tuiional and the only standard, from which 1t b

establishment Of the true and only credit syste ,
that which the precious metals alone can susta. ,
aud liberty, united with labor, not banks issur
mere promises ofpayment will ever uphold
