Among the interesting incidents Of the

on. Peter R. Livingston. 81 am" salt

fering his resolution against Gener,
ackson for his conduct in the Seminal

cannot pass, he reasoned: Gen. Jacl
on is too popular, and offering it is
reat injury t0you." 81 know it will NJ
ass" answered Mr.. Clay. II know
unpopular now, but will show a mil

PIKE the verdict Of posterity upon it."
Resolved, That this meeting duly a

PRESIDENT at the next election.
IND whilst sad experience admonisf
that the chief magistrate of this grC
epubhc ought to be distinguished by t
ghest gifts, and the most exalted gu;
rs, we feel becoming pride as Am
an Freemen, that we possess such a
fen TO propose for such a place.
ReSOtred, That we regard the mc
pre- known as the Sub Treasury scher
earnestly and persevereingly urged
be present administration, as plan
ggrandizing tie office holders at the
ense Of the people; for swelling the pc
and patronage of the Executive,
daeng in his hand s the purse arbitrar
nd unconstitutionally wrested from
authorised guardians, and giving to !
Individually momentary control, dan
ous to our liberties and incompatible v
pur republican institutions.
