OIL Resolutions reported the following, which af-
ter discussion, were unanimously adopted
Resolved, That we again welcome with enlhu-
siasm the nomination of VIM. Henry Harrison for
President of the United States. Fort Meigs, the
Thames, and Tippecanoe, attest TO his military
glory,-his services Secretary Of the North
Western Territory, Governor of Indiana. mem
Der of both branches of the Ohio Legislature,
Senator and Representative in Congress, and Min
ister to Columbia, arc abundant evidence of his
capacity as Statesman; and the living gratitude
of millions OF his countryrnen has conferred up
on him the unfading laurel Of the Patriot.
Resolved, That the sentiments of VIM. II. Har-
rison, that man should be more than once cleo
ted to the Presidency that the Representatives of
the People and States in Congress assembled
should have the entire control of the Peoples mo-
ney, instead of the President usurping the same, -
that the use Of the veto power by the Executive
should be greatly restrained,-ihat the enormous
ind alai ming expenditures of the government be
reduced, - and that wholesome and nvigoratiDg
reform should take the place Of the present iribe
city progality and reckless abuse of power, nre
sound Democratic Republican doctrines,-the
blood Of our Revolutionary fathers was shed for
.heir establishment the sons Of such sires should
| never abandon them.
Resolved, That we are heartily in favor Of TINT
great Democratic Wing measure proposing dis
iribuilOn of the surplus funds arising fiom the
sales of the Public Lands, among the several
states. The lands are the common patrmony of
all the states and the measure referred 10 had its
origin in The broadcast principles of justice and e.
quality. The Vermonter who is opposed to his
states receiving her share is recreant TO her in
terests, and may with equal consistency object TO
her soils receiving its portion of the sunshine and
the dews of Heaven.
Resolved That in the open, avowed, and I'M
compromising hostility of tie present adminisira.
ton 10 u tariff for the protection OF domestic man
uiactures and home industry, we see a partial
canse of the low prices which the products OLA
bor yields, and of the embarrassments and dis
tress which peryades the country.
Resolved, That our Rulers should not be up
held by Democratic Freemen when they advocate,
as they are now doing with all their might, doc
trines which make the rich richer and the poor
poorer, which strike death blow at the little
competence earned by the Iabourng man, and
which place our farmers and mechanics on a lev
el with the paupers of Europe and the slaves of
the Southern States. The Wings of &c preferred
death to submission 10 tyrants the Republican
Wings of this dry, by peaceful and bioodless
victory-will elevate the Log Cabin Of the war
worn soldier over the marble palace of the Mon.
arch at Washington.
Resolved That IN the sub treasury scheme adj.
voca,ed by our present rulers we behold distinctly
shadowed forth the plan OF u vast National Bank
under the control of the President, monopolzing
the greater part OF the specie Of the country,
thereby depressing the business of our citizens,
and by unlimited issue of Treasury Drafts
plunging the nation deeper and deeper in debt.
Resolved, That the hideous features OF this
Monster are hateful to the eyes of Republican
!
the sharp sword of Tippecanoe.
| Resolved, That in the recent coalition formed
| by Mr. Van Buren, and John C. Calhoun, we are
gratiied to discover that Northern Federalism and
Southern Nuifcation . like kindred drops are
mingled into one.'
Resolved, That thel right of Petition to our
National Legislature stands first on the lust of our
dear and blood bought political privileges, and
should be held as nviolabe, in its relative place,
as the religious right of the christian to address
his petition to the throne Of his Heavenly Father.
Such being the sentiments Of Northern Freemen.
we say to the teachings Of that ar estate spirit,
John q. Calhoun, on this subject, Get thee be-
hind me, Satan"
Resolved, That the high.handed outrage aciu-
| ally committed by the administration upon the
rights of the people Of New Jersey, for the pur-
pose Of carrying the SUb-Treasury Bill and the
outrages il has subsequently perperaled IN reius'
ing 10 listen TO the voice of the people oil FLORIDA

) Resolved, That the attempt ofsome of the Fed
eral Loco Focos TO couple with the revered name
of Wing The epithet British, is an insult 10 the
democractc reemen ofihe country, and was orig.
mated by the same Locofoco Englishman who
placed British flag over the log cabin OF hardy
settler. But if we are British Wings, prey what
are they Answer British Tories
Resolved That We are unwilling tobei'eve that

fore supported the present administration willsus-
tain the British Tories in their efforts TO degrade
, the American name, TO cast Dack and malignant
shadow upon American glory, and to SANDER and
