4 government from the banks, bat the government
! from the people as involving principle unrecog-
nized by the constitution, the principle which lncu-
Gates the novel doctrine, that the general govern
ment has no other control over the currency, than
to secure to the officers thereof, the earliest pay
ment in the best money;-as measure by which
the army of office holders are to become an organic
ed band ofbrokers attening in their profits by the
distress of the people;-as one by which the pro-
perry and labor of the people is to be depreciated
to the end, that capitalists and creditors may reap
double gains by their sacri6ces;-as a BILL IN all
its tendencies only calculated to swell the advanta-
ges of the rich, and UNNECESSARILY augment the mis-
cries of the poor
ResoLped, That we view the public domain as
the common property of the Union, purchased by
common contributions and answerable to its COM
mon necessities, and we regard any attempt to d.
vest it of this character, by cessions to particular
sections of the Union, surrender of the rights
of those states by which it purchased. uncalled
for by eXigency, unauthorized by constitutional
warrant, and unp alated by the contingent aid it
might procure to new aspirant for the presidency.
Resolped, That we repose full confidence in the
ability, integrity and patriotism of WILLIAM H.
HARRISON, and that we earnestly recommend
him to the support Of the People Of Maryland,-as
soldier who in battle for freedom was never con-
quered-as statesman, whose abilities in the cab
met and council were never questloned,-as man
who in every condition of life has been oftentimes
Landed, but never censured, as compeer ofWash-
ington--and whose administration will bring the ma
ton back to the control of those principles nculcat-
ed in the school in which the Father of his Country
was the teacher.
Resolved, That the Wings of Saint Mary'S
County, challenge their brethren of the Union
to a contest at the polls, in which the prize
shall be our country'S best interest; and the re-
