Lincoln telegraph. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1836-1846, 1840-02-27

evening, VIC gu ihSl., tne meeting was addressed
with much power and effect by Zina Hyde and
Elisha H. Allen Esqrs. Mr.. Kinds from the
Committee appointed to draft Resolutions re-
ported the following
Resolped, That in a President of the
United States, we look not for a man who
considers it his chief duty to reward his
personal and political partizans by appoint
ments to oaice-but for one who will pay
a proper regard to the welfare of the
whole Country, and who, in filling Offices
will make honesty, qualification, and merit
the criterion by which to Judge Of men.
Resolred, That the present adminstra-
tion-by falsifying its pledge of retrench-
ment and reform--by its exclusive party
policy--and by its unskilful management of
our fiscal concerns-has become obnox-
ious to the people-and that the public
good imperiously demands the speedy re-
moval Of those in power, and the substi-
tuition ofmen Of more skill, more libe rality
and, more integrity. ...-
Resolved, That we view in the repeated
attempts of Martin Van Buren, to force
upon the people his odious sub-treasury
scheme, disposition to become more Pc
culiarly the president Of party by Great
ing, with the peoples money, an office
holders bank, at the disposal and for the
support Of pensioned partlsans whose par
mount duty it shall be to secure his re-
election, and the Presidential chair to his
heirs forever.
RESOLVED, That while we behold the
leaders of the administration party riding
| h. Cho6 -, onI Ia tvo
and their principles and measures d.
rectly tending to anarchy and ruin-we
cannot discover in their policy one feature
ofthat pure democracy they profess
Resolued, That the recent coalition be-
tween the great nullifer and the magician
is ominous of desperate struggle on the
part of the administration, TO retain its i'll
gotten and long ABUSED power;-that the
first born of this coaliton-Calhoun's land
bills the personi6cation Of loco-focoism,
and savors too much Of agrarianism to be
cordially received by the old states-whose
bounty il would pervert into the base in
strument of subsidising the new.
| RESOLVED, That the systematic Interior
ence oflhe federal office-holders in elec-
tlons is fraught with most fearful evils to
the liberties Of the people; and that the
combined resistance Of the administration
party in Congress to the passage of a bill
| 10 prevent this unlawful Interference COM
pletely proves a consciousness on the part
of our present rulers, that their power can
only be maintained by restraining the free
expression of the peoples will.
| Resolved, That, when we behold the
defalcations of sub-treasurers, and see
them following the lead of their illustrious
prototype in continually removing the de-
I postes-the excellence of the sub-treasury
scheme becomes more apparent, and we
are led to exclaim, with the prophet of
old Eye take too much upon you, ye sons Of
Levi!'
Resolued, That, constituting a portion
Of whom the office-holders address by the
title of she dear people," we feel it our
duty TO return them the compliment, mas
much as they have rendered themselves so
pecuniarily dear to their beloved country's
purse.
Resolped, That we heartily concur in
the nomination Of William Henry Harrison
as the candidate for the presidency;-a
democrat of the old school, who comes be-
fore VS. well recommended by George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison, and who has better recommended
himself by his wisdom in the forum and
| by his deeds of vaor in the field.
Resolred, That we cordially respond TO
the nomination OF John Tyler for the vice
presidency, and pledge every honorable eff
fort TO secure his election.
Resotued, That in the enthusiasm with
which the nomination of William Henry
Harrison has every where been received.
we descry a propitious omen for the repub-
lie; we perceive in that enthusiasm glad
denng sign that the divisions which have,
hitherto, unhappily prevailed in the Wing
party are now healed--and that the people
throughout the land will, at the coming ell
ecton, be found ralying under the banner
of pure principles, with singleness of
purpose and unity Of action that cannot
fail Of success.
Resolued, That the ''petticoat," which
the loco focos have gratuitously offer
ed to the peoples candidate, should be re-
ceived with becoming respect-and we
! recomme nd that it be used for Sub
Treasury pail, when that intriguing project
shall be borne to the tomb Of oblivion by
the devout mourners of the kitchen cabi-
net, on the accession Of General Harrison
to the presidency.
Resolsed, That at the present crisis,
when the state of Maine is invaded by for
