LIST. Resolved, That a crisis has arrived in
the history of our country, when reform in
the administration of the general govern
ment of the country is loudly and imperiously
demanded.
Cd. Resolved, That we do highly approve
of the nomination for President and Vice
President of the United States, made by the
National Convention, which sat at Harris
burg in December last !: that we hail the no
minees of the said convention as true friends
of liberty and reform-as statesmen who if
elected, will restore the general government
10 that purity from which it has been reduced
and degraded by the wild and visionary ex-
periments which have been made by the last
and present administration.
Sd. Resolved, That we will give our cor
dial and jealous support to William Henry
Harrison, for the next President of the Uni
ted States: believing him to be a genuine
republican, and a fearless, talented, and in
dependent statesman.
4th. Resolved, That we look with feelings
Of the deepest r%eprobation upon the recent
proceeding of the House of Representatives
in denying to the five Wing members elect,
from the State Of New Jersey, their seats in
Congress; deeming it to be a virtual disfran-
chisement of one of the sovereign states Of
this confederacy, and that it is the establish.
ment of a precedent which may prove a death
blow to popular liberty, unless signally re-
buked by the free people Of this country.
5th. Resolved, That laying aside all per-
sonal predictions and prejudices, they will
zealously support the nominees of this con.
yention
When on motion of G. Porter, ESQ.,, i,

ton.
