Resolved-That it is with no feelings of par
tizan exultation, but with heartfelt gratitude,
that we reflect on the vast changes that have
recently taken place in public opinion, and that
we have the utmost confidence in the truth, JUS
Resolved-That while we cannot agree with
the present administration on many subjects,
its policy upon the currency we utterly con-
demn.
Because, what had been sanctioned by expe-
rience, was sacrificed to train Of experiments
all of which have failed.
Because, we believe the credit system so
closely interviewer with modern commerce, that
no single nation alone can abandon it and -four
ish.
Because we believe truly national curren-
cy will never be furnished by twenty-six local
Legislatures.
Because we believe all remedial legislation,
by the separate states, however sincerely dc
tated, will be partial and imperative, and new
er produce general and permanent relief.
Because, when this country has been twice
reduced to a similarly deplorable situation,
twice has the country found its refuge and
safety in national institution.
Resolved-Tbat we regard the scheme of a
Suo- Treasury with distrnst. -.s i.
Because, it would create new swarm of Of
fee holders, and vastly increase the patronage
of the Executive. 49,
Because, under the system, we believe the
public property would be insecure. S1...-I
And because it is an Experiment.
Resolvcd--That we trust little to the SINGER
ity of rulers whose doctrine is economy when
out of office, and whose practice ls extrava-
gance when in Office; that loud mouthed clam
our for retrenchmen till accords with wasteful
expenditures and a multiplication Of Offices.
Resolved-That the present President Of the
United States came into power pledged to pur-
sue to the end predetermined course of poll
cy, no matter how ruinous and disastrous it
prove that such doctrine is worthy only Of
bigots and tyrants that it can produce none
but blind, a vindictive, and an unstatesman-
like course of action; that the avowal of it by
candidate for, or an incumbent Of Office, was
an insult to the people, and a disqualification
of himself. M
Resolved--That if Martin Van Buren wish
es to tread in the footsteps of [an] illustrlous
predecessor" we discover none more illustrious
than James Madison, philosopher, states
man and patriot, who yielded to the lessons
of experience and necessity, and honorably re-
traced path injudiciously adopted.
Resolved-That we can see no hope of re-
lief orredemption under the present admins
tration, and therefore we must turn to other
men and other measures.
Resolved--That sixty delegates be appoint
ed from the county Of Lucas, to attend the
general Wing Convention at Columbus on the
5Ist ofthe present month; and that b #.
