- The following resolutions, presented this NOR
ming by Gov. NOBLE, and laid on the table, were
now takca up, and, after an able speech from the
mover in support of them, they were unan.:n-
ously adopted, viz.
Rcso,red, That it is i.nooi,i; in a republican
government to test the integrity OF lis Officers
by tempting .hcm With the use OF In: pablo tnoI-
cy and that the recommendation OF NJ .rtin Van
Buren TO leave the revenue OF the nation pos
session Of his officers for safe Keeping, is sub
cct OF inst alarm anl shouiI be splrnci by csc-
~ patriot.
Resolred. That the privilege claimed BY
President Van Blrcn and his officers. OF exact
ng specie OF the people to pay their own sta-
les with, is un isIal, oppressive, and immoics,
hat large H. jority OF the farmers OF In1iant
procured their lands with Bank paper, AMI b,t tor
t would no, DC laniholdcrs; tnlt as the United
States arc not III possession Of silver AMI gold
nincs, from which 10 supply the people with spe-
c, and therefore dependent on ioreign coun-
rcs for Il supply of the precious metals, this
Convention Is of opinion that without good con-
cr,ibic paper to sustain the commerce, agricu.-
urc and manufactures of the United States,
hose great interests coald not prosper.
Resolced, That whilst THIS Convention would
pprovc of reduction in the price Of lands, we
eileve that the promises held out by the party
a power at the eve of the two late presidential
icctions, were made to cajoc AMI deceive the
cope Of the new States-that this Convention
erceivcs with surprise. that our rulers have du-
ing tho same period Of eight years, purchased
.nds of the Indians 10 the amount OF 3s,OGO.000
oiIars at more than three dollars per acre, which
recluJcs the hope OF reduction; and therefore .
moving this, VIC view the late renewal of that
b,inv lnSncerc and uuyor;,y Of
