1.-THE might Of their strength. and demand re-
lief Il is the cause Of The people. Of them
and for them, and the work when thus be.
gan. is half accomplished.
Resolred, That the State Of Vermont res
ponds most heartily 10 the Harrisburg Nom
nation. May we not say that il was an
event kindly ordered by an overruling provi
dence, and may we not humbIy hope for the
smiles OF Thai providence. upon the issue.
Gen. Harrison has lived for his country
and the History Of The one is the glory of The
other. In all situations he has been the ad.
vocate Of liberty. OF equal rights. and the
poor mans friend. The possession Of ma
lions treasure has not corrupted him. nor
The charms Of power turned him aside from
duty but when The call Of bis country has
been answered. be has returned TO private
life. in the enjoyment OF reputation which
despois never knew and which none but The
enemies Of their country will seek TO iarnish.
With such man the jewels Of this nation
are safe
Resoired. That we regard the protection
ofAmerican industry as one OF the great du-
ties Of the American Government. Without
protection there can be no prosperity. and
the farmer and the manufacturer will be re-
dueed to the condition OF the mos, abject Of
Europe's day labOrers.
We want a home market, and this can
only be efrciuaIly obtained by a protecting
tariH The people need this protection. they
must have il. nag. they riH hare a. The
wages OF labor must not be reduced as in
mockery ofIhe sweat and toll Of honest in
dusiry.
The want Of protecting tariff necessarily
begels dependence on feIeign nations. ;han
which nothing can be more odious and an
tire republican. Home is no, only The cen.
ire oflhe best affections. but of our highest
prosperity. II was beautifully said By Gen
Harrison. that zee must look 10 Aeme for all
that home can gire.
Res0tred, That the national domain is
the common property Of The Union. and
should be held by Congress as a sacred trus,
for the benefit ofall the states IL was The
priceless offering paid to bind the republic
together and the attempts OF The admins
traiIon TO divert il from its righhul owners is
nj once breach Of faith. and hostility TO the
Union.
This treasure has found guardian in
General Harrison. and by bis foresight
and patriotic endesvors he has made il con.
ducive 10 the happiness OF millions He
hasbrough, whole states into existence. and
they delight TO reverence him as benefac.

The State Of Vermont has deep in,eres,
in this matter. Her proper share Of the
proceeds Of the public lands would give the
means Of education TO all our children, du-
ring all time. Yet. strange to say, men
have been found willing 10 rob Us Of our

ResOired. That the leading measures OF
the administration may be classed under The
heads
/. Hostility 10 industry and credit.
2. The Sub-Treasury Scheme.
3. A Standing Army in disguise
The hostility OF tho Administration TO indus.
Try and crediI is fell as well rs seen. I.ctno
man say the Administration are not charea-
bic with the evils we suffer.
For twelve years they have had decided
majortes in Congress. md the measures that
brought distress and ruin upon us arc Meir
and theirs alone. The subireasury and the
militia bill are urtful attempts 10 control the
power Of the nation. The union OF the purse
and the sword is said 10 be the definition of
tyranny. and il these measures should un.
fortunately be adopted. not only will the
power Of the states be sunihila,ed but the
whole power OF the nation Subjected to the
control OF one man. If our fathers resisted |
lrifiing tax because they saw in il the ele.
mems Of an unlawful control. how much
more should we resist this bold allemp, TO
establish desposiiism in The consolidation
Of The whole power OF the nation.
