The following preamble and constitution
were submitted to the meeting and unani-
mous!y adopted
Whereas, This meeting concurs in the
nomination of VIM. Henry Harrison, OF o.
hio, for President, and John Tyler of Vir-
ginia, for Vice President of the United
States, as made by the Harrisburg Conven-
ton !; and as we regard the administration of
Martin Van Buren, as having failed to accom-
plish the great purpose for which it was
designed {, to wit, to administer the affairs of
4 great and free government with benefit to
the people and honor to themselves and as
we, in common with the rest of our Wing
friends throughout the Union, are deeply i'm
pressed with the firm belief that the prosper
ity and liberty of our beloved country depend
upon change of administration, and as this
meeting recognize in VIM. Henry Harrison,
tho successful hero, the enlightened states
man and distinguished diplomatist, we do
hereby ratify and affirm his nomination, and
pledge to each other to use all fair and honor
able means TO promote his election, and we
do hereby cordially approve of the nomina-
ton of John Tyler as a candidate for the Vice
Presidency, whose fame for political purity,
moral integrity and accomplished talents, lis CO.
extensive with the Union; and whereas we
view with deep regret the desperate efforts
made by this administration to increase and
perpetuate its power, backed as it is by All
army of corrupt and proiiigate ofiiceholders,
and sustained by prostituted and unscru-
pulous press, utterly regardless of all consis-
tency, and which require on the part of all
lovers of their country and the palladium of
their liberty, the most untiring and indefati-
gable exertions to defeat them; we do adopt
