Secretary Of the Club; whereupon the Chair

of the. following gentlemen for Officers
@. d. GIBBS, President,
.HsTI9.F H BoVsTiFB Vics-Presiden.S

Which nominations received the unanimous
appreciation or the meeting, and being put
sepGratins, the persons recommended Were

Il On motion Of R. Abbey, the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted.
Reached, That this Club highly approve Of the
II Harrisburg Wing nomination Of General HAIR
h1SON and Governor 4 LEX as Candidates Tor
President and Vice President Of the United States.
We believe that the deliberations Of that enligh-
lened body Of wings were wise and prudent, and
viii result in the overthrow Of Hhte supremacy ot
kTecntiUe pO1OeT' and the rs-establishmeat Of the
q statesman Of the first magBitude-a firm demo-
cratic repnblican-the personal friend and polite
q cal supporter Of effeEsonlhe tried supporter and
able advocate Of popular1ights, and the champion
OF the constitution and laws Of the land. And
we regard Gov. Tyler as the ft associate and adj
Il wiser Of that Patriot Statesmen in our national
lcouncil
i ResoIred, That we regard the efforts OF some Of
the most reckless Of the Sub Treasury presses 10
stigmatize Gen. Harrison as an ''abOHtionist' az
the desperate struggles Of a convuIsed and sink
ing party. The accusation is false as Il is ride
culous, and is VIGOROUSLY absurd and contempt
lible that many Of their own party have already
discovered that thesnbterfuge is injuTing theni-
selves and are Fastening to abandonit. No man
in the Union is ahead Of Harrison Ia the support
Of the lawful institutions and constitutional rights
Of the south. He has labored long and battled
hard, both in and out of Congress, for them-and
has made more sacrifice an uteiT behalf than any
jEother prominent man in the whole country, north
or south. On this subject Gen. Harrison is pre-
eminentIy tsOtt1d to The core.s
ResolUed, That the corresponding committee be
INSTRUCTED 70 correspond with suitable persons at
the several election precincts in this county, and
such of the neighboring towns in other counties
as they may deem advisable, urging upon them
the propnety OF the immediate formation Of Tip
IpecanG Clubs.
J ResOEred, That the President appoint, at each
meeiings committee Of three, whose duty il will
be to seleotand read TO the next succeeding meet
ling otthe club, ono or more political documents
tending 10 impart valuable information and incul-
cate substantial political truth, such as they may
deem OF immediate interest to the people.
