The Chairman offered the following Preamble and
Resolutions, which, on motion, were unanimously

Whereas the present political contest in which we
engaged, has forced the necessity of holding
frequent meetings for the purpose OF better organizing
for the preservation Of Liberties; and whereas we
see in the present Wing party, which conceive 10
be the offspring of the old Federal party, through all
its mutations, Statesmen, great portion OF whom en-
terrain doctrines dangerous to the rights and liberties
Of large portions if not all, the good people of these
U. s., who have general rule of action, any full
free, and open declaration of principles by which they
will be governed urging candidate for the Presidency
who has, up 10 this time, utterly refused TO give his
in relation TO the most exciting questions of the
day, and to make but pledge, that he will veto no
bill which Congress may pass; thereby, before elected
placing himself IN situation IN which he may be
forced to pernrc himself TO carry out his pledge, and
virtually annnllng the veto power, which conceive
has, during the present Administration, aayed the
element between North and Soulh-from the known
fact that present vruou. faithful and able Chief
Magistrate, would veto any bill touching the abolition
of slavery the District of Columbia any OF the
States Therefore,
]. Reso'red, That We see in the movements of the
present Whig party, nothing but Inconsistency, and
desire to cheat and deceive the people, and lnpos.
on the credulous and minimizing.
2. That we view the elevation Of General William
Henry Harrison, the Federal Wig, .7bOion candidate,
to the Presidency, fraugh. with danger 10 rights
and bsres and that will all fair and honorable
means openly to defeat bis election,
