Which report was unanimously adopted
The comnistse Oh nomuafion OF candidates
for Representative 10 Congress, and Presiden-
tiil Eleetor, reported by John A. Conan, Esq,
the names Of
WILLIAM SLhDE for Representative and
JOHN CON hNT,for Elector
The Report wa. adopted with great unan-
Unity and cheering.
The committee on Resolutions, by ID. w.
c. Clarke Esq, reported the following
Whereas, Resolutions, as a matter OF form
and course, are very good things in their way;
and, as an informal but sincere and honest
declaration of principles on tho part of those
adopting them,are things ofpith and moment
and worthy Of all accoptation. We regard
them, under ordinary circumstances, and
while the great machinery Of popular Coy
crnment is working with barely that degree OF
jarring and d!ssonancc, which is indicliye OF
its activity and power, and NJ the samo time
1xcites that kind of watchful opposition
which, in a land of intelligent frecmen, is
both useful and desirable, as Of the very high
est utility, in proclaiminG and disseminating
sound principles and maxims in regard both
to the rulers and tho ruled, and exposing UNI
sound and hurtlul principles and maXims TO DO
met and rcIutod and repudiated 10y the power
OF enlightened argument and investigations
And
Whereas, We are instructed by that wisdom
which is not liable to ordinary human lmper-
icctlous, that there is 4 time for all thugs
from which the Inference is both easy and
philosophical that the time for one thing OF
one class Of things, is not the precise time for
another thing or class OF things; and also the
higher moral inierance that the appropriate
period for dischareing any duty, or perform
ing any act, is in the time Of it; and
Whereas, II Is apparent, from the poltlca
aspect OF the times; from the desperate anl
lagitous efforts which are making by the
present administration TO escape the force o
that popular Indignation which is daily snc
hourly accommodating against them: from the
won1 3rlul and unccasing exhibitions OF poliu
cal agility which they make, to avoid the 'thicl
coming blows OF an injured and incensed PEG
! pie; from their unwearied oxeruons to diver
| popular attention from their own abuses ~
trust, and ilagrant ar5ogation Of power, by y
walilng the terrifying effects of Wing reioic
/ ings upon the uapractlscd nerves of thei
/ babes and suchhngs, by displaying high ed
ucatod, iastidI0us and refined disgust for Loj
I Cabins, and by a newly awakened, and ardent
! though exclusive theoretical, zeal IN the Ten
