Whereas, we believe that, in the approaching PresI-

which have divided our country into parties, from the
foundation Of thc Government 10 The present time; and
that the question OF Van Buren, or Harrison now, Is the
same as Jefferson or Adams, or Republican or feGcraI-
list was in 1900.
Be 1t therefore Rcsoircd, lst. That We approve of the
open, frank and Republican course pursued by our pre-
sent Chief Magistrate, Martin Van Buren,; and we
pledge ourselves TO use all far and honorable means 10
promote his reelection.
I'd That we consider the conduct of the Wing party
(Which is composed and made up ofevery grade of po-
liticiansl clearly to indicate a want of confidence in the
people for self government, and TO be subversIve OF all
the sound principles Of our Republican institutions.
Sd. That the people have an induhitable right In de-
mand and be informed ottic opinions Of all Candidates
for their sutfragcs, on all questions .: public interest
and that the refusal "f Gen. Harrison and his trends
10 make known his opinions, IN matters Of the most
vital Importance 10 the welfare and perpciulty OF this
Union, is destructive 10 one of the cardinal principles
OF representative government, and subvcrsIvc 10 the
liberty and happiness Of the people.
