JscksCn in n late letter Geclarcs) VIXEN he is so nobly
performing his duty, would be :reachcry TO Republican

6. Rcs0'rcd, That, in addition 10 the lnsnpcrable oh.
jcctions we entertain against the candidate of the OPP
position, on account Of his Constitutional views, and the
H!Icus Federal doctrines maintained BY his most promi-
nent friends, We have abundant cause TO dIstrust and
IL discard h!m until he speahs ont, on the subject of
Abolition, il 4 language, bold, unequivocal and decided,
not only II opposition to Abolliionism, but against all the
iIsid ious schemes and devices pursued b. lis mad advo-,
Gates t. clear The wa for the Ultimate Of
ticir fell designs. His rCiHSGi 10 proInulg &c fully and IN.
drycndcntly, his opinions, 10 matter w~IIGttIIcy may be,
We greatly fear will stimulate, cmboiden, and encour-
are these fanatics 10 Pcrsevcre and push ON IN their

the Wings, for the intelligence Of the people in the
display o.: los. cabins and cidcr.barrels, insfcad IF hcir
prjncipIfs, is a gross and p~alpahle insult 10 those for
whose benefit the mumnery is intended, and deserves,

the approaching Idrs of November.
10. RcSolrrd, That the reduction Of the price Q. pro-
ducts, and the arrangement Of the currency of the
country, about which the Wings make such a noise
and clamor, should serve only to stimulate and spur on
the Democracy to rcdoubled energy and perseverance
in the patriotic warfare against the monied aristocracy,
to whose wrctchcd system of banking We may justly
