Resolved, That the dictates of our COM

of popular opinion throughout the United
States, has convinced us, that we are laboring
in good and glorious cause.
Resolved, That the tales of governmental
corruption, that have reached our ears through
the public press, and through every other ave
nue., find their verifcation N the petty acts OF
petty office holders, under our own eyes, ant
to which we are witnesses.
Resolved, That we do not believe in the
doctrine that has often been preached by the
friends of the administration, that corruption i,
necessary in all governments, but on the contra
ry, that purity in all government, ig essentia
to the h1ppiness of the people.
Resolved, That the late acts of the presen
administration, its money, and its golden pro
jects, its financiering the money from the hand
of the people, into the Golfers of the govern

bars, and treasury notes, are foreign to the
spirit of our republic, and meet our reproba.
ton.
Resolved, That the only safe sub-treasury
for the money Of the people, is the pockets o.
the people, and the best employment for the
bolts and bars, is upon the eighteen hundred
, defaulting sub-treasuries.
, SResolved, That we, as wings of the district
intend not only to exhibit our utter adherence
ofall humbugs, but of humbuggeres, and hum.
bug supporters.
Resolved, That the alarming increase o
power, in the hands of the executive of the U.
nited States, within the past eight years, added
t to the still more alarming and arrogant preten

should call forth the united strength of every
friend Of his country, to curtail executive pa,
tronage,'and governmental expenses.
II Resolved, That we heartily approve Of thu
