an insidious attempt 10 enlarge the powers OF tue
Federal Executive 70 an alarming extent, py Dring
Ing within the scope Of It's influence supIects W rea

dent.
Resoired That we highly approve The course OF
The Madisonian, and the doctrines and measures
therein advocated, which we recognise as ~ accord
ance with the principles of Jefferson and Madison
and that hail its establishment as tending 70 pre-
serve the democratic landmarks, and induce the ad
yocaics OF rash and headlong measures 10 pause,
and ponder aUN
Resolred That we execrate and abjure, both now
and forever, all connexion with the Deslructives
Loco focos, OF Radicals by whatever name known
or in whatever guise presented; that as lovers OF
good order and rational liberiyas the friends OF
government based on The intelligence and virtue Oh
the people, we have no principles, sympaihies, or
aims in common with them, and that we regard the
countenance they have recently received from hgh
places, as an alarming omen, and eyincing 10 US re-
newedly, that our motto should be principles ana
not men" fgfa
Resoiced That we cordially approve the course
of the Hon. N. p. Tallmadge, and his oompalriots
in Congress In raising the notes OF remonstranee
against the novel and ruinous experiments Of polili
cal Guardians, who are seeking 10 practice their
"untried expedierS" at the expense OF the most vital
pecuniary and political rights Of the community,
and that we pledge ourselves To sustain our said Se-
naor and his co-workers in their efforts 10 arrest The
administration in its mischieyous career.
Rssolvcd, That the repeal of the law prohibiting
the circulation of small bills by our state banks is
demanded by the people, and such demand was loud
" made in the result Of the recent eleciioni and
faaN.. hat ne
the Governor Of the state Of New-York has main
tanned omnous silence ON this alengrossing to-
pic and that we regard such silence an additional
fearful evidence, how far the success of party pro-
ects Is preferred before the acknowledged interests
and wishes Of the people that we still look to the
Legislature now in session for an immediate, uDcon-
ditiona repeal Of said law so that we may be freed
in some measure from an odious and oppressive tax
alton to maintain foreign, unstable, Illegal, and
spurious currency.
Rcsotred, That well regulated system Of credit is
OF vital importance 10 The commercial agricultural,
mechanical and manufacturing interests ofthe Anne
rean peope-thatitisa distinguishing feature be-
tween liberty and despotiSn, and has contributed
essentially othe diffusion and establishment of iibe-
raj and enlightened principles in the science of hui
man government-lnd thai the doctrine of an exclu-
sye metallic currency is vestige of blrbarism,
wholly incompatible with the TeiinementS and diff
lusyc blessings of modern civilization and wher-
ever adopted, makes the rich richer, and the poor
poorer.
Rssolred That the subject Of Iatsrnal Laprorc-
mont is one Of cardinal and paramount importance
10 the American peope-that only bya judicious and
well directed system in this respect our resour-
ceS BE- developed our commercial intercourse faci-
litated, and the advantages Of ready market secur
ed to every branch of productive industry.
Resolrcd That we highly approve the resolutions
and address adopted by our felow-cilizens IN The
city Of New York, on the I'd inst. at meeting of
which nj. M. Quackenbos was PresideIt-that We
regard the manly and able exposition of their prnci
pies and opinions aproud trump hover the terrors
of party prescription and the practices and designs
of the third party, Deslructives-and that we recon-
mend call for State Convention 10 nominate the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor TO be supported
at the next fall election and who shall represent the
true principles of MadiSonian Democracy.
RsSoirsd That the dictatoral, disgusting and abu-
sive course pursued by the Washington Globe and
other similar prints, has mainly contributed TO the
division and defeat of the Democratic party, by
nursing into strength and existence the Loco FocoS,
To the disgust and withdrawal Of The old and tried
friends OF the administration, and that we honestly
believe the design of such papers and their clique,
is 10 procure the ascendency of brute force, over
reason and sound udgment-and that we regard
the efforts of the Newburgh Telegraph and Popgh-
keepSie Telegraph, TO miSrepreSent and conceal the
truth from the people BY alleging that the resolutions
and address 1.-THE New York Conservatives, are in
the "tone and spirit of Federal Whiggery," and at
the same time Withholding them from publication, as
obnoxious to the severest apprehension by the true
friends of our country's dearest interests
Rcsoired, That il is expcdent 10 appoint Town
Committee of three, for The purpose OF correspond
ing with other towns in the country, and with other
counties in the state until central committee ofthe
county shall b. appointed, and that 5. % DuttOH, p.
r. Hay.s and II. Potter be such committee.
On motion il was
R.solred, That the proceedings Of this meeting be
signed b. the President, Vice Presidents and Secre-
taries and published in the Poughkeepsie Journal,
the Ulster Sentinel the Madisonian, the Patriot and
Democrat, Hartford county.
