@ Resolved That the present pecuniary distress
Of the country is the result of the total disregard Of
the late and present administrations 10 the express
sed will Of the people, vetoing the act rechar-
terng the United States Bank,-in removing the
deposites from said Bank, refusing 10 rescind
the Treasury Order after full exp ession 10 the
contrary by both Houses Of Congress.
3. Resolved That while public confidence is
prostrated,-the streets of our cites becoming de-
serted Our manufactures al Nand.--our wool
becoming moth eaten in store houses land the
industrious laborcr starvng6enhread we can have
no confidence in tho wisdom Of our Administration
whose measures have brought such heavy calami-
ties upon our country.
a. Resolved That the frequent use Of the veto.
by the late Executive, is an assumpiionusf mower
not warranted by the letter nor the spirit Of the
Constitution, and contains more Of The spril of
monarchy than Is consistent with republican gov
eminent: and that the threatened use of The same
power by the present Chief Magistrate, with his
subseryioncy TO Southern passions and interests,
renders him unworthy the support Of Northern
Freemen.
8. Resolved, That the territory of these United
States being already as extensive as is compatible
with the continuance Of the Union, and the pteser-
walton Of oar Republican Institutions we are deci-
dedly opposed TO the annexation Of Texas to our
Cunfcderacv.
G. Resolved, That the arrogant pre,ensons Of
the late md present Administrations to tie exclu-
svc possession Of democratic principles, lily accord
with the persevefng course Of tyranny and usurpa-
ton, pursued and persisted in, by these adninistra-
lions.
T. Resolved, AS the issues of irredccnable prom
iscS. from the bank of Benton g. Co. have been ra-

by the people to cura their circulation until their

Bsntonisn- io,csr SIN. The last Patriot,
with mote BRASS than even Benton con well
bear, declares that the democratic party & the
loco focos ntper were for an exclusive metallic
currency! II the V 3 men--or OF least The
honest ones who have been humbugged into
loco locosni--swollow this, we despair Of ever
seeing them return 10 their senses We can
assure the editor Of The Patriot, from personal
knowledge, that portion Of his own party
have denounced the Patriot Rs n radical, whole
hog, exclueive, regular bull: loco foco and me-
tallic currency concern; and more, that ina.
jorty Of s readers are of that class Of politi.
clans How could it be otherwise ct tho
Patriot look back to It's oion Gtts-ayc, 10 the
words of the Globe, and of Jackson and Zen
ron-and there he will find that ,hey HAVE
BEEN for an exclusive metallic currency
We will refresh the mans memory with a few
extracts:
an shor, PERIOD the gold coinage will
furnish the country with n safe md portable
currency" - President Jackson, 1884.
"ln seven months from this time bank rags
I
overspread with GOLD."- Wa,hingfon Globe,
1884.
Owe owe Gen Jackson debt Of gratitude
for practically teaching the country the
| GREAT LESSON THAT WE CAN DO
INFINITELY BETTER WITHOUT PA.
PER MONEY BANKS THAN WITH
THEM."-T II Benton, 1887.
just regard to truth should impcl US to
correct the misrepresentation Of the Pa riot
but at the same time we must rejoice If even
that paper is coming on 20 the ground which
the Wkigs hare erer occupied, viz that the
country must have paper currency, based up
on solid and broad specie basis. Does the Pa
trlot take that ground, and will it be manly C.
noush to acknowledge that here the Wings
have been right?

These are the extremes, and truth lies in the mid
die. The convention was composed neither of rich
men nor ragged men-but of all classes of men, and
by far the most part, of hardy and independent far
mers. These ars the men who have carried Yer
mont through every slruggle-erect and free, unpo-
ued by the touch Of Executive power on the one
hand, and Of denlagogues on the other. p S. The

Marx this The V. b. presses are full mouth
ed in crying out against the suspension ofthe banks,
charging it as trick to supply England with sPe-
Gle. Now, be it remembered, that Martin Vdn
Buren, approved the suspension Of the Bank of the
Metropolis! and that several Van Buren iegisla-
tures New York at the head, have authorized The
suspension Of their banks and removed their labili-
ties Not single JPhig state has yet authorized
the bank suspensions.
