welcome, 10 q short bot very handsome ad-
dress.
| II. c. Jones, Esq, then offered the ioi
lowing Resolutions IN behalf oil the Rowan
Tppecanoe Club:
R,solred, AS the sense of this meeting, that
the oppressions which come 10 W., the People,
from the action of our Federal Rulers, are TOO
great to be borne by Free People.
Resolred, That it never was INTENDED py 'ne
trainers Of the Constitution, tia, Congress should
have the power of regulating the prices OF labor
Nor of compelling the People to take one sort oil
money in preference to another.
Rssolred. That the policy attributed to the Co.
vernment by some of lis friends Of increasing the
value of money by making il scarce, would ex-
clude from our markets all articles OF Foreign
Manufacture II would in a great degree drive
our people from the use of Sugtr and Coiiee and
Tea and greatly increase the price OF Salt. IL
would be a revival Of the Protective Tariff IN the
worst form.
Resolred, That the late proposition of tho Sc
cre,sry of War endorsed and recommended by
the President to raise army OF 2OO.OOO men IA
a time of peace, with power in the President 10
carry them out of their respective states, IN or
der 10 be trained, is fearful Scheme. IL Is I'M
WISE unconstitutional, and would be most oppres-
sive in practice.
Resoired, That the President of the United
States, who would dare 10 recommend law to
Congress which would necessarily affect the lives
and fortunes and honor OF every able bodied man,
between the ages OF 20 and 81, without having
maturely considered the saule, would deserve the
severest censtire. But TO recommend law OF
this megaitude, without ever having seen IT,
would be a criminal sporting with the rights OF
Froemen Ii would show such Chief Magls-
irate unfit for his station.
Resolved, That in our opinion, General HAIR
RISON, Is a sound Statesman, bravo and able
General, and AN honest man: tie has disproved
every charge of the least Importance brought a.
gainst him by his adyersaries; and deserves the
favor and gratitude of the Southern States.
Resolved, That IN the honorable JOHN Tf-
LEI, we recognize patriot and statesman OF
the School Of Washington, aud every way enti.
tied TO our confidence.
Resolred, That of JOHN NJ. MOREilEAD,
who is here amongst us an invited Guest, delica-
cy forbids us 10 speak as hearts and judg-
monts dictate Bot we will show hun on the lJth
Of August next, IN what esteem we hold hun
