political footing with the white man, whetherbg
tdmitting him to the exercise Of the right of suf-
rrage, or permitting his testimony to b. received
for the purpose of criMinating officers oil the Anne
riean Navy-for, we see in such proceedings, a
practical illustration Of the feIl-spirt Of aboli
tienism, which is cunningly sought to be screened
under the weak and pusillanimous disguise of ga
Northern man with Southern principles p
81. We oppose, not only Van Buren,, but all
who defend him for the exercise ofhis conduct in
the manner stated in the preceding resolution,
and the remark of the baltimore Republican, in
,fending him for his vote in the New York con-
yention to strike out the word sSwhite,o so as TO
admit negroes to the right of suffrage, by pro-
nouncing it ga measure OF compromise in order
to gain am important good" is satisfactory evil
J dence that the editor of that democratic sheet
approves of doctrine reasonable to the rights
! OF the South, and deregatory to the honor and
| the interests of the American people.
| 25 We oppose, as Southerners, all such infa-
nous attempts to 'gain an important good"
knowing, as we do, that the Vaccinations OF the
abolitionists are not only abhorrent to the feel
ings of our nature, but subversive of the princi-
Piles oil our glorious Constitution, which is now
already so grievonsly assaulted, greatly to en-
danger the perpetuatien of our public liberties.
26. We oppose Martin Van Buren, for forcing
upon the people, by means OF grosser outrage
than was ever before perpetrated on the rights OF
a sovereign State, the despotic scheme OF the
sub-treasury, a measure once denounced by his
official mouth-piece as ssaiSorgd1aizing and rerc-
I,ttiona7af and StLbuerSire Of the fundamental
principles Of oar government, exposing the pub
lie treasure to be PLUNDERED by hundred hands
where one could not before reach it "
81. We oppose the present administrators Tor
separating itself from the true interests OF the
people, for the purpose Of fattening upon the
'sspoils" which they claim as belonging to their
official station, by advocating a hard money des-
petism, in order to reduce the wages of labor and
property to esstGnddrd of prices throughout
the 1corId," which will not only depress the me-
chanic and laborer to the hopeless and horrible
condition of European working-men, but create
thereby an fofice-holding arlstocracy,p hateful
to the thoughts of freemen, and which no man
not possessed off'tory princiPles''would venture
to advocate.
2S. An administration, whose character is thus
} marked by the most fragrant disregard of the
rights and interests of citizens, is unworthy
Of the support Of FREE PEOPLE; and having
pledged ourselves to use all fair and honorable
means IN effect its overthrow, we afectionately
solicit the co-ouera,ion of every patriot heart,
who is unwilling to sacrifice the happiness and
iberties of the Republic, by unfolding the dar-
ng usurpationS now practised in the name Oh
democracy
ReSolred, That we hail with delight the ia
creasing evidences of speedy dowpfall of the
men in power, and the re-establishment of those
principles of Republicanism which once so pre-
eminently distinguished the councils of our be-
loved country, when her destinies were guided
by the ssminds of freemen of elevated character"
and not, as new, by ''the quGekeTy of serviles
in elevated stations"
Resolved, That these proceedings be signed
by the President and Secretaries and published
in the several daily Wing papers of the city.
