BERING
At Il meeting of the Democratic Association held
at Pomirel, on the Goth of June at the town house
in said town, Capt Roswell Alien was chosen chair
man, and James ii, Richardson, Secretary.
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Resolrcl, That we highly approve of the
undauntcd course, and hrnncss of purpose,
which our present Executive has taken, in endeav-
oring to separate the business of the country from
the control of our present irresponsible banking sys-
TEN, after witnessing two general suspensions with
in the short period OF about two years, in a season
of general prosperity and peace with the whole
world, and that we, the people will use all honor
able means in our power TO give the electoral vote
of the Mountain State, to Martin Van Buren, for
his reelection TO the presidency.
Resoirci, That we highly approve of the NOM
nation OF Paul Dillingham;, Jr., for Governor, and
Edward ID. Barber, for Lieut. Governor, and Dan
iel Baldwin, for Treasurer: Believing them faith
full and capable of executing the offices, and to do
honor to themselves and the State, and that we
will use al honorable means in our power to Sc
cure their election.
Resoirei, That we view with contempt, the
course the banks have taken, in endeayorng to
keep up panic ruinous and disastrous to the pco-
pie, for no other purpose than to make political
capital to electioneer with, through the coming
elcclions as is proved by their Withdrawing about
35 millions of dollars from active circulation, in the
short period Of few months prior to the elections.
Resolrei That we say to the whole world, give
us no more acts of incorporation for any chartered
company, unless the rights ind interests of the peo-
pie are fully protected.
R6s0ires, That we are in favor Of the bank ref
orma,ion which was commenced at the last cgis-
turc, and that the management of the wing party
in going altogether farther than the bank reform par
iy, is "ycilcd in mystery, and TO US, Is wholly i'll
hcsoired, Tha, the pure principles of dcmocra-
cy are so congcnal to the human heart us not TO re-
quirc the efforts and advice of nIsrINGUIsHEp
LAWYERS to explain them to the intelligent far
nlcrs and voters Of this town.
Rcsolrei, That the democracy of Pomfret can
do their own electionecring and their own stump
speaking, without "imporiiag" from the adioin-
cider, made pure by the adniXlure of brandy, rum
and gin cock-talls.
Resoi,ei, That il the log cabin and hard cider
interests had been regarded in former years, our
state would not have been cursed with about $50
irresponsible institutions, nor the zig hts aud inter-
ests of the tenants of log cabins have been entirely
neglected.
Rc,oireI, That presidential candidate who in
tcnlonally permits his political opinions to be so
dubious and cquiyocal, that his friends in one Sec
ton of the country claim him as uphodng one prh-
cpe and those in another, as iLvoring different x
Opposite one, can receive no support or countc-
nance whatever, from the democrats Of Ponire,.
Uhe,eas, 1t is most true and legal axiom that
all corporations are soul,css bodies, and as il is
highly presumable, corporation partsans and adj
v0ca,cs may be tlnctured with the qualities ol the
dear paintings of their care and guardianshlp,-
Therefore, Resoirci, That the people OF Pomirel
ask for no political ora,ions from an Importer
bank and corporation lawyer.
Resoirer, That British Whiggery as it displays
itself at the present time, is hostile to the true in
tcrcs,s Of our Union, and ought to be resisted by
every friend Of our country.
Resoirei, That the efforts Of the British Wing
to win the laboring classes to their unprnclp!ed
and unrghtcous cause, by means of log cabins
stuffed coon skins, hard cider. poor song Singing
and drunken reycls, are direct insults TO the under
standing and patriotism Of those classes, insults
which will be properly rcbuked at the next election
/ Resolrei That we profess to know the differ
cncc between Democracy and equal rights on thu
one hand, and British whisgery aud bank monopo
lies on the other and our Knowledge on this sub
ject shall be proclaimed at the ballot box.
Resolrei, That the President of the L. States
BY ordering the ten hour system in reference II
laborers employed on the public works, has show
that he appreciates the welfare of the aborers
while the opposition made to that system, by I'M
British wings, proves what would be their tcnde
mercies, could they but possess the power.
Rcsoirei, That the nagiiious falschoods of tn
British wings in charging the administration witt
design to reduce wages, while at the same tc
whig employers are cndeayoring TO effect such
reduction themselves, is an outrage deserving uni
, versal execraion-an outrage worthy of no oihe
paternity than that Of modern federal British wing
gerry
: Resolrei, That the boasts of the aforesaid wing
in Windsor County, that they have raised larg
fund for eleciioncerng purposes, meets from u
:, this reply--the wings are not rich enough to bu
us.
Resolrei, That we have no disposition TO sup
! port a candidate for the Presidency who Is unde
u keepers, especially when their keepers are blu
= light tory fedcralists

, proceeds of the public lands, to the wants of III
y National Treasury, as long as the General Go,
eminent is compelled to issue millions upon mill
ions, of Treasury notes. in order TO meet the ar
= preparations of Congress.
e Resolrei, That we are in favor Of well regr
lated militia system, and believe the Citizen Soldi'
is as Justly entitled to receive pay for his service:
. as the legislator in enacting laws, or the HONORABLE
