watch, from the interest that appears manifested

Captain John b. Pearee offered the following
resolutions, which wero unanimously adopted:
The Harrisonian Democrats of the 10th Elec-
ton District OF Baltimore county, feeling deem
interest for the welfare and permanently of our
Republican form OF Government, and believing
that a change of rulers is now necessary, in err
der to maintain its purity and safety, do, there
fore,
Res0lee, To support, by all honorable means
the election of VIM. If. Harrison to the Presi-
dency, and John Tyler to TIE Vice Presidency
assured from their well known and firmly estab-
lished democratic characters, they will maintain
and administer the true principles of demo.
cratical government.
ReSOired, That the high-handed measure of
the present Administration, which has virtually
concentrated the purse of the nation in the same
hands with the Ss0ord, is destructive of the best
interests OF the people, and at war with the pure
principles of Republican democracy.

thrice rejected Sub-Treasury measure, is usur
patton of state rights, and of the constitutional
compact; and should not be overlooked with in

their blood and treasure to oppose tyranny and
obtain freedom-while it should receive the con-
demnation of the "New Thirteen" who have
been so generously and Parentally received into
their protection.
ReSolced, That the cvasive language used in
Mr. Van Baren's elizabeth City Lountyn cleo
tionecring letter, should convince the most seen
teal that ssthe standing army bill of Mr. Poin-
sett' is an object dear to his bosom-while, di
connection soith other facts, it places him in no
eRviable situation before the people Of his own
country, and is calculated to degrade the ma
tional character in the eyes of s'foreigners."
ReSoIvcd, That we feel confidence, amo unit
ing to a certainty almost, Of succeeding in the
election of Harrison and Tyler; and, therefore,
would desire that those who have heretofore vo-
ted with party which is bringing ruin and dis
grace upon the nation, would Join the swelling
tide of their popularity, and be enabled hereaf-

that they had aided in restoring tranquility,
prosperity, ndhappiness to our beloved country.
The Club then adjourned, to meet at Mr.. Bry
