Resolred. That under the General and
State Government, the salaries of Office
holders, should have some proportion TO the
services rendered; and we therefore invite
public investigation 10 this subject, believ-
ing as we do, that the officers under the
general government, especially those to
whom IS entrusted the collections of the
revenue, are in most cases oyerpaid for the
labors they perform-nor ahould the sup
porte rs Of the present administrations OBJ

Resolred, That the Democratic Wings
Of 1910, are defending the principles Of
the Democrats Of l79S.-The great ques-
ton at that time, before the country, comes
again before it, at this time, with addition
al force, viz Shall the Executive or the
People govern I'VE trust the issue now,
will be as successful as it was then and to
that end, we individually, pledge GU: in
1uence and our exertions.
RESOLVED, That the present admnistra-
tion-by its deliberate and long continued
usurpations Of power not conGded to it by
the people-by its systematic disregard Of
the peoples interests-by its open and re-
peated defiance of the peoples wil-has
forfeited all claim to be considered the
peoples administration.
Resolred, That we recognise in Gen
William Henry Harrison the distinguished
soldier and eminent civilian,--that his
country owes him debt Of gratitude for
his services in the council and in the field
and which they intend in some degree to
reward by triumphantly electing him to the
Presidential chair.
RESOLVED, That we will heartily support
John Tyler Of Virginia for the Vice Presi-
dency--believing him eminently qualified
for that station.
Resotued, That the government Of this
country, should be administered in accor-
dance with the declared will of the people,
and when any party attempts to run coun-
ter to this creed, it violates the principles
by which our fathers were actuated in es-
tablishing the national and State govern
ments-we contend that the people should
be lett Tree to express their will ,uninfuenc.
ed by official patronage and untrammelled
by any interference whatever; on the part
of the general government.
Resolred, That we view with approba-
tion, the bold and patriotic stand, which
has been assumed by the Conservatives
throughout the country-anG we greet them
as fellow laborers, in the work of OPPOSE
ton, to the principles which the Federal
admlnistr alton is attempting to force upon
the people.
Resotced, That the reelection of the
Hon. NATHANIEL P. TALLMADGE to the
U. s. Senate. indicates the sure predomi-
nance Republican principles in the EN-
pire State;--we hail his reelection as a
triumph of principle over party--of liberty
over Executive influence and government
dictation.
Resolved, That the Loco Foco party in
its efforts to fasten upon he Wings of this
State and the Union, the name and princi-
Piles of the old Federal Party discovers
spirit of deception and meanness, which |
characteriZes all its moments,--the
charge of Federalism which the leaders of
the Loco Foco Party are so anxious to
thrust upon their opponents is false and they
kno'v it to be so. ..ge
Resolred, That many County officers
in this State, who hold their Offices at the |
pleasure ofthe Executive, should be elect
ed by the people, which would be conss- !
tent with the Democratic spirit of our in
situations and would take from the Ex-
ecutive Department of the government.
an immense power of patronage, which is
dangerous to the liberties and corrupting
TO the morals of the community.
Resotred, That if the success that has
crowned the efforts OF those, who have adj |
ministeied the affairs ofthis state is to be
considered the standard of their skill and
ability, surely "with such complete stand
ards. and standard Keepers the State have
much reason to be proud'-and we predict
if equal success attend them, that the re-
mainder of the public debt, which our late
Treasurer has not paid "in State pride"
will the coming year he lquidated in the
same currency-'with coupons annexed.
Resolued, That we know Of "meansn tina,
