Iof the North, and to cripple and depress ifs
business enterprise and industry; and as
4 persisted ID under circumstances tending to
lsubVert the independence and equal autho-
Irity ofthe Representative branch Of the GOV.
fernment, and to impair the respect due to
Il Expressions Of the popular will, by sfatiguing
the people into acompliance' with measures
which they have deliberately rejected.
i Resolved, that we concur III the following
resolution which We find in the ALBANY Ar
gus of Sep 29th, 1887: "ResoIved, That
we consider the system of collecting the
lpublic revenue by the agency of Sub-treasu-
rers as peculiarly Objectionable in principle
that the language of the Globe in 1884,
then the organ or General Jackson's admit
fnistrationtruly depicts the proposition as
Il disoTganizing and revolutionary, subyersiye
lof the fundamental principles Of our Gov
eminent and It's entire practice from 1889
down TO this day. that Sit is as palpa5le as
the Sun that the effect of this scheme
would be TO bring The Public Treasury much
nearer the actual custody and control of the
President than it is now, and expose it to be
/ piundered by hundred hands where one
cannot nov reach - and that any system
which in 1891, was fraught with such iinme-
nent danger as to be condemned by una
nimous vote of the Democratic members of
Congress must now be radically wrong, and
undeserving the support of free and en>
| frightened people"
Resolved, That we will employ our most
strenuous exertions to defeat the establish
ment OF this most odious and dangerous
scheme for the acquisition of political pow
er, and for controlling the voice and wishes
of the people.
Resolved, That we view with alarm and
disapprobaton, disposition on the part of
the administration of the General Govern
ment to strengthen the power and influence
of the executive arm, and to give to the
mere recommendations and suggestions of
the President the force and effect of Orders
in Council and Imperial DEGREES.
Resolved, That the policy and measures
of the present administration are tending to-
wards the evils and dangers of consolida-
ted government, oyershawdoing the rights of
the States, and stripping the body of the
people OF their proper influence in the difec-
ton of the public affairs
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
collection of the revenues in gold and silver
exclusively; and that we believe that .sys-
tenn of collection, custody and disbursement
of the public money. through the agency of
State Banks, might be devised, which, faith
fully administered by competent Secreta-
ry of The Treasury, would be found perfec-
tly adequate to the wants of the government
and the convenience of the people,
Resolved, That the expenditures of the
accommodating in ten years increased
from thirteen to forty millions of dolars-are
enormous, extFavagant and wasteful; that
the immense defalcations which have dis
tinguished our recent history, are disgrace
| full evidences of a badly diminished system
offnance; and that the interference of the
government officers in the elections, is
gross and growing abuse which calls for uni
versal reprobation.
Resolved, That we arc in favor Of the
circulation of the small bills of our. sound
and solvent banks, and that we regard the
with the success of the administration party
at the ensuing election
Resolved, That We repose entire conf
dence in the integrity, ability, and repubI-
can character of the Hon. NATHANIEL
P. TALMAGE, and that as between himself
his colleagues and the President, he has
proved TO be the only true representative of
the Empire State in the National councils,
the people of New York will not exhibit
themselves as insensible TO his merits and
services, or unmindful of his claims upon
their gratitude.
Resolved, That in the character and con
ductof the Hon. VIM G. RIVES, we rec
ognize the distinguished traits of true dis
ciple of Jefferson-that we respect him as
statesman of profound and sagacious views;
as true son of the s'Old Domirion,'' in its
better days-as democrat of sterling worth
and integrity-as consistent politician,
who prefers the post of honor in private
station, to the gilded trappings of office,
purchased at the expense Of his principles,
and by sacrificing the opinions of his const-
tuents.
Resolved, That in the Van Buren, Sena-
tors refusing to go into joint ballot last Fe-
bruary for the purpose of electing Senator
to represent this State in the United States
Senate, we see a fair example of how much
respect they entertain for the peoples will
and We believe that the people of the En-
pire State will remember their conduct when
they again express their opinion at the bal
lot boxes
