Samuel G. Crafts,
Hon. Ezra Meech
Crhe committee further recommend that the
electors from the several districts be referred
to the districts themselves) which report was
unanimously adopted by the convention.
MIR. Adams, from the committee on rcsolu
tons, reported the following
Res0lrcd, That the revolution which now
convulses the nation, though bloodless in its
character, is of enduring importance to the
best interests of bleeding country. Liberty
is wounded in her hottest sanctuary, the Con-
s,ituion has been violated by the exclusion of
a sovereign State from the councils of the ma
ton, and they who have been deputed to be
the legal agents of the people have conspred
to be their dictators. We must wrest the gov
eminent from the hands of unfaithful men or
consent TO be slaves.
Resolred, That the enthusiasm which has
burst forth from the great mass of the Ameri-
can people is the best guarantee for the stabil-
ity of our government and the integrity and
intell yence of its citizens.
This is no ordinary movement;-the nation
dashed into fury by the suferings inflicted by
the administration, have risen in the might of
their strength and demand relief. 1t is the
cause of the people, Of them and for thom and
the work when thus begun is half accomplish
ed.
Resolced.-That the State of Vermont re-
spends most heartily to the Harrisburgh nom
nation. May we not say that it was an event
kindly overruled by providence. and may we
not humbly hope for the smiles of that provi-
dence upon the issue.
Gen. Harrison has lived for his country and
the history of one is the glory of the other
In all situations he has been the advocate of
libprtv nf aonal tinbtc and tho nnnr mans
friend. The possession of nations treasure
has not corrupted him. nor the charms Of pow
re turn him aside from duty but when the
calls of his country have been answered, then
he has returnedin placid quiet to private life,
in the enjoyment of a reputation which despots
never knew and which none but the enmies
Of their country will seek to tarnsh. With
such man the Jewels of this nation are safe.
Resoired. That we regard the protection of
American industry as one of the great duties
of the American Government. Without pro-
tection there can be no prosperity, and the
manufacturer will be reduced to the condition
of the most abject of Europe's day laborers.
We want home market and this can only
be e1ectua!ly obtained by protecting tariff.
The people need this protection, they must
have it nay they icW hare IL. The wages OF
labor must not be reduced as in mockery of
the sweat and toll of honest industry
The want of protecting tariff necessarily be-
gets dependence on foreign nations, that which
nothing can bcmore odious and antirepnblican.
Home is not only the centre of the affections,
but of our highest prosperity. Ii was beauti-
fully said by Gen Harrison that ue must look
10 home for all that home can giue.
Resolced, That the national domain is the
common property of the Union, and should be
held 10y Congress as a sacred trust for the
- G. r tl.l.- I, a.,
offering paid to bind the republic together -
and the attempts of the administration 10 d.
vert il from lis rightful owners, is at once a
breach Of faith and hostility 10 the Union.
This treasure has found guardian in Gen.
Harrison, and by his foresight and patriotic
endeayors he has made il conducive 10 the hap
piness of millions. He has brought whole
States into existence and they delight TO rev.
erence him as bencfacior
The State Of Vermont has a deep interest
in this matter. Her proper share OF the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands would give the means
of education 10 all our children during all
time. Yet strange to say, men have been
found willing IN rob us of orr right.
Remlred, That the leading measures OF the
administration NAV be classed under the heads
l. Hostility TO industry and credit.
. The Sub-Treasnry Scheme.
g. A siandihg army in disguise.
The hostility of the administration 10 indus
try is felt as well as seen. Let no man say
the administration are not chargeable with the
evils we suffer.
For twelve wears they have had decided
majoriiies in Congress and the measures that
brought ruin and distress upon us are theirs
and theirs alone. The sub-ireasury and the
militia bill are auful attempts TO control tho
power Of the nation. The union Of the purse
