1st. The executive should disclaim all
control over the public monies, except undcr
strict and precise limitationof law.
Cd. He shonld never attempt TO influence
elections nor suffer the federal officers to
take any part in them, farther than to give
their own votes.
Sd. The exercise of the UetO be limited to
cases Of unconstituiionality, encroachment
on the rights Of the States and individuals,
or cases inroIuing deep interest. where there
nav appear to have been inadvertence Of
/ precipiiation in the action Of Congress.
9TH. Removals from Office should not be
arbitrary, but for cause TO be stated TO the
Senate, if requested, at the time Of nomlnat
ing the successor.
9Th. The President should never suite
the influence of his Office to be used for Pur
poses of purely party character.
9th. The executive department shoul'
not be made the source of legislation, bu
that the whole business of making laws, 70
the people should be left to the free and in
dependent action of the Legislature.

lowed by few remarks from Mr.. Gone,
OF New York, who stated some very in
teresting facts in reference to the recent
advancement of Baptist principles in Tex
as. and the almost simultaneous formation
of several Baptist churches. He strong
ly recommended Texas to the sympathy
and attention o. this Society.
Mr.. Hague, of Providence, supported
the resolution, and the views of MI. Cone,
in a very appropriate address. He insist.
ed particularly on the importance of pro-
mitigating early. in this forming republic,
the fundamental principles of religious
freedom, the suficiency and authority of
the Scriptures. the right of private judg-
ment in matters of faith and practice, and
the voluntary principle in supporting reli-
gious instruction. He confirmed his views
by illustrations drawn from travel in the
old old world. and conversations with va
