TYLER, of Virginia, for Vice President.
Resolped. That in WILLIAM HENRY HARRI-
SON, we behold our country's gallant soldier,
who fought but for freedoms sake; the pure
and venerable statesman, who pleaded but Tor
his country's good; the spotess patriot, and
the honest man.
Resolued, That in the language OF Col. K.
NJ Johnson. sthe history OF the west is his his
tory. For forty years he has been identified
with its interests, lis perlls and It's hopes. I'M
versally beloved in the walks OF peace, and dis
tinguished by his ability in the councils OF his
country. He has been yet more ilustriousy
distinguished in the field"
ResoLUed, That we look upon any attempt to
SANDER The name of HARRISON, as recoiling up
on Col. r. NJ Johnson, the nlach-tOUed V Pre-
sident of the Van Buren, party.
| ResoLued. That Washington, Jefferson, and
Madison con6ded strictly in Harrison, who was
found equal 10 every responsibility, and trust
worthy in every particular.
| Resolved, That we look upon the base, and
groundless charges brought against Harrison
BY his enemies, in the face OF history, and OF
living witnesses, as undoubted evidence OF their
own conviction of his purity, and as symptoms
Of their utter alarm.
HeSOtted, mat we loOh upOii TIC uudnihhty
and enthusiasm, with which the late Harrisburg
Convention have been received, by the Great
Whiv and Conservative party throughout the
union, as an assurance doubly sure, that free
dom is now nerving her strong arm, TO strike
death blow to wide spread corruption.
Resolued,. That the enormous growth of ex-
ecutive power and patronage under which the
country is now writhing, is extremely danger
GUS to the purity of our republican institutions,
and utterly subversve of the dearest interests
of free people.
Resolred, That the Sub Treasury scheme is
at war with the genius OF republican liberty,
paralyzing To both public and individual enter
prise, and suited only TO increase and sustain
executive power and patronage.
ResoLued. That we look upon the action oil
the Van Buren, party in the case OF The n. Jer
sey election, as gross outrage upon the SOW
reionty of the States, and as an expression Of
defiance to the people.
Resolyed. That we Join hands with our elder
brethren of the country, of the State, and OF
the whole country, in eternal hostility TO set
of rulers, who rashly persist in experimenting
against the best lights of experience, and re-
oardless of the dearest interests OF the people.
Resotred, That following the example of the
ilustrious candidates for the Presidency, we
merge all personal feelings, all local questions,
and all minor considerations whatever, in "a
common struggle for the common good, in
"The union Of the Wings for the sake of the
Union"
