principles Of '93; to frown upon every effort 10 engraft

,taio uncompronising hostility ngainst al disturbing h:
,uaroial measures of government, asd- against all radical
sesS destructive doctrines and sent;HreRtS.
9 Resoiped, That iE 4 republic, II IL essential to Inc
liberty, safety and happiness of the citizen, that the Go
Ivernment and it's officers should receive their rule oil ac'
dion from the people; that when this VITA, prihcip!!e
ceases to operate, when theconrenience at The many Is
:disre garded or made sHbservienti 10 political ambition and
self interest, it becomes a public duty to bring the Adm'-
,aistration back 10 first principles, 10 guard against iuthIe
.encroachments, and by cherisbing the spirit OF liberty
and 'curbing TINT OF llcens'ousness 10 secure d! once .e
stability of the Government, and the prosperity OF the
people.
:strikingly illustrates the truth of the declarations Oh
Washington, 'thas the foundations OF gu. nauones loh,
cy ought to he laid in the pure and immutable principle
of private morality That sthere is no truth more
thoroughly established, than that there exists IN the eco.
nomy and course of nature an indissolutle connection
between the genuine maxims Of IN honest ana magnhni'
nous policy, and the solid rewards OF public prosPe'
rity."
4. Rcsotosd, That the course of the Administration
which has so deeply and suddenly affected the financial
condition Of the nation, and placed the General Govern
ment in an attitude of open hostility to the institutions
of the States and the business interests of the people,
and which is now coupled with an effort to unite IN effect
the sword and the purse, evinces the existence ana pre-
dominating influence in our national councils, oil q spi'
rit which has greatly endangered and threatens TO sub
vert our Republican form OF Government, our social III
stitu,ions, and individual happiness.
S. Rcsored, That the scheme OF destroying oil o'ale
-l.sL h- bnn .Ia1harat0Iu fnrmaH and
which is now distinctly and boldly avowed as an ''ui'e-
rior object" which is SO systematically and persrvering'y
followed in despite of popular suffrage, VIII. 1t succrss-
full, virtually annikAa.e The State snve.eignttes, cast The
whole power ever tire institutions and business nf The
country, INTO THE HANDS OF the shTi"SaL GOVERN
MEyr, and accomplish the ultra federal design of consn.
lida,ion, thereby practically establishing an absolute ty'
ranny over these States.
portant feature in the accomplishment OF these 'ul,erlor
objects" That we have seen 40 reason to dissent from
the declaratoa of the Government press IN 1854, st'g'
mattsilp 1t as a measure 'dIsorganIsing and rev"luli"l'
{ ary; s.Sgersiye of The principles 81 our GoverHineh ut,
{ and of lis entire practice from 1889 10 this day, and
{ which will incidentally enlarge the powers OF the tx.
{ ecutiVe and expose the public treasure to be piunderea
: by an hundred hands whese one cannot now reach II.
7. Rsolued, That we cannot regard with greater fsVor
she proposed substitution of a special deposIte for The
Sub.Treasury scheme; both contemplute The same odlous
principle of boarding the precious metals, ana shuttihS
them out from circulation among the community 10
whom they ~riph,fully elong,-producing violent huc-

~tua.ioss ia the price of labor and value OF property, inas'
ing al invidious distinction between the currency OF the
people and that Of their servants, 10 the prejudice OF Inc
former, and we believe that the disapprooauoh OF these
measures lust expressed by tas Democratic State "t
Georgia, will be followed BY all immense majority oi Inc
great RI republican family in the Union.
8. RESOLVED, That any system OF nntionai hnanee
which leaves The public treasure under 1.-The liberal su
pervisory powers Of any individual, or which has for
it's foundation "the voluntary principle recommended
By the Executive, is unwfse and iEexpedent, ind great
iy hasassing and vexatioas to the People;
9. Rcsotpcd, That since the "ulterios OBJECT OF ami
hilatinp the State Institutions and destroying the paper
currency Of the People, has been avowed, we LOOK upon
the late recommendation of 3 tnkruPt Law applicable |"
Interpretations aud other Bankers as an effort to BRING
the business interests, and of the people under the con
troll ef lhe Federal Government. That on this subject
we fully concur 10 the declarations nude BY the Hon"ra,
bic Martin Van Buren,, in the Senate OF tMe Unit'd
States, in the year 1896, when opposing the ADOPTION "i
asiuila project that " now the attempt is 10 be made,
off not in an open and unequivocal manner, at least IN
can indirect way, to strip the States OF the power "t
"chartering BANKS. That it in~terteres with the regu'H-
% lions which the States may have adopted Tor Inc gov
"ernment of these Institutions, and IS an odlous e3er.
ucise of mower not granted by The Constitution, ard
ntbst this was never done and never attempted IN any
scoun,ry on the face Of The globe"
10. ResolDed, That we distinctly trace the war upon
our State institutions 10 the doctrines promulgated in
this city in 1929, by q faction, Of which Robert Dale
Owen, a disciple Of Fanny Wright, was leader, among
the most prominent of which were the necessity OF "a
sscioil r~euoiution tokieh 1coutd leap. leland 1t no trace 81
90 any pncrynn,eat that had not prooided for eoeTy humnH
&" being, an egaal amount Of property ON arrtc.ng at Inc age
s.of maturity, and daring minority, equal food, clothing
and education at the public expense, and which would
totally subvert the existing =" unequal aPPropT'atson ana
" transmission TO pustsrity Of the soil Of The State and ba"G-
I" ing insiaxtions, as the great cause Of the existing IN
L" happy condition Of society," and that the proper means
of relief was t" tie election of men uho. from their ona
"snferings, kaoao ho,o to feel, and from consangT.nsiy Of
" fsst;ng. you'd be disposed to eSord tbs r~emsdy."
IL. Reyoived, That the Democratic Republican party,
oroanjzed BY our Fathers, and as we maintain it, has no
principles in common with these Destrucayes, whether
pursuing their Is Interior objects under their various
names OF "Working Mems party" "Antl monopoly par
~ % {" EQUAL Rights party" or Loco Foco patty
That their dangerous designs were held in merited con-
tempt, until some leading portions OF their policy were
declared governing principles o. o aSe fs sfOs!s, w au% erh;.
bi,ed from high official stations.
-. Resolocd, That we observed with pain and regret
that portion Of the late Message of the President which
refers TO the recent elections and atteSapss 70 explain lhs
items Of This Esate, aud % The greatcause of self govern.
ment TO declare that tBss8fesident han been in that re-
spect grossly mistaken, and "a sstdefasIon has cast an
unfounded Ieprooch upon TIE ,cit'zene> OF his native
State. and unwarrantabiy iaspesched The intelligence
and integrity Of an enEightesed aud incorruP,ible PEG.
is. Rssolo.d, That we highly approve Of the firm and
independent stand taken BY the Hon. NJ p Iatmadgc,
and his compstriots IN the senate IN oe'enolng NE
rights and prosperity Of our citizens against The ruinous
e4neriments Of those anew lights in government Fl.
nance and political orthodoxy, whose brief sway OF the
narty organization has produced such general embarsasS
Inent in the business concerns Of the people, aud in.
volved the Administration in pecuniary and political
bankruptcy. 49,.
IA. Resctced, That those representatives in Congress
who have been officially denounced for daring to vindl'
cate the sancti!y of The public faith, and advocate The
protection of private property, who deeming absolute
scouiescence in the will Of the Executive, or Of his
councillors, to- be a rule of despo.ic government, and
NOT a norton of the DEMOCRATIC Republican creed, have
nreGerred the dictates of justice and conscience in coin
eeidence with the manifest interests and plainly express.

and the ncomiuns of the Loco Focos, are entitled 10
