Resolved, That we will employ our most strenu-
exerions to defeat the establishment of this most
odious and dangerous scheme for the acquisition of
political power, and tor controlling the voice and
wishes OF the people.
Resolved, That we view with alarm and disap-
probation, disposition the part Of The admins
traon OF the General Government 10 strengthen the
power and influence Of the executive arm, and to
give 10 the mere recommendations and suggestions
Of the President the force and effect Of O:iers in
Council and Imperial DEGREES
Resolved, That the policy and measures OF the
present administration are tending towards the evils
and dangers OF consolidated government oversha-
dowing the rights Of the States, and stripping the
body Of the people of their proper influence in the
direction of public affairs
Resolved, That we are opposed TO the collection
ofthe revenues in gold and silver, exclusvely and
that we believe that system OF collection, custody
and disbursement of the public money, through the
agency Of State Banks might be devised, which,
faithfully administered by a competent Secretary OF
the Treasury, would be found perfectly adequate to
the wants Of the government and The convenience
Of the people
Resolved That the expenditures Of the govern
ment-having in ten years increased from thirteen
10 forty millions OF dollars-are enormous, extrava-
giant and wasteiul; that the immense deialcations
which have distinguished our recent history, are
dsgracetul evidences Of badly administered sys-
TEN Of finance and that the interference of the
government officers in the elections, is gross and
growing abuse which calls for universal reproba-
iiol.
Resolved That we are in favor ofthe circulation
of the small bills of our own sound and solvent
banks, and that we regard the continuance OF that
policy rs inco npathle with the success ot the ad-
miniSiraiion party al the ensuing election.
