With great respect,
| ] am your fellow citizen,
EDWARD KENT
Hon. J.. CUTLER, C. S. DAvEIs, w. d. SEwALL.
| On motion of Mr.. DaVes committee was ap-
pointed to prepare resolutions. Mr.. Daveis in
reporting them, proceeded to address the meeting
in very eloquent and appropriate manner rive
hope to be able to publish his remarks hereafter
RESOLVED, That we unite with all our fellow cit
| liens, in every part of our country, in the deep,
sincere and heartfelt sorrow, which is felt at the
sudden and mournful event which has deprived
the Nation of its worthy Chief Magistrate, and
the people of an ardent honest, able and faithful
| friend.
Resolrcd, That the long and patriotic service,
the honorable life and lamented death of the vet
eren chief under whose banner we have lately
rallied, and have triumphantly raised the stand
ard of the Constitution, have endeared his name
to every lover ofits cause, and embamed his men,
ury in every American breast: and so long as
purity OF purpose, honesty of principle and dsin-
terested devotedness of thought and action shall
be held in respect in this Republic, the name Of
| WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON will stand,
where it now stands, high in the immortal roll of
American Patriots, and be cherished as the COM
mon property of that people he served so long and
SO WELL
RESOLVED, That while we pay this mournful
tribute of respect to the memory of him whom
so honored and regarded and pour our unavailing
regret over his recent grave, I'VE are the more pow
eriully reminded ofour duty to the great living
principles which he maintained, and which, with
him at our head, we had so far successfully vim
dicated and that like faithful soldiers, whose
mander had suddenly fallen in their midst, I'VE feel
bound to stand together, shoulder to shoulder, and
! make good the ground we have won, under the
broad spreading banner of the Constitution and
the Laws.
Resolved, That in view of the new relations that
JOHN TYLER, of Virginia, now sustains to the
American People, we feel ourselves properly cal
led upon, as patriots and citizens, TO express our
full confidence in his capacity, integrity, and de-
votion to the public good; and that it is source
of satisfaction, in this unlocked for calamity, that
the mantle has fallen upon one, who by his prob-
ty and uniformity through all time, in peace as
we'll as in war, his firm and infexibe resistance
to arbitrary power, and his faithful adherence to
principle at the sacrifice of office, has proved HIM
self worthy of the post to which he has been cal
led by the voice of the people, and to stand in the
place of their amented Harrison.
Resolred, That we therefore do in behalf of our
selves and of the people of Maine, tender to our
new President willing confidence and respect
and assure him that we will stand by and support
him with firm hearts and steady hands, whilst he.
upholds the ark of our political strength and safe
| ty-the constitution of the Union; and that all
we wish of him, is, in the words of his predeces-
sor, to understand the true principles of the Gov
eminent, and to have them carried out. The
country asks nothing more.
ReSolred, That the Republican life, the PATRIOTIC
course, and constitutional spirit, evinced by the
President, and explained in his recent address to
the American people, fully satisfy us, that he will
see that the late triumph msrule, corruption.
and reckless and crushing experiment will not be
lost but that the great principles of this political
revolution will be steadily maintained; that to the
spirit of official abuse and usurpation shall be said
thus far and no farther that the Executive pow
er will be limited, restrained, and exercised with
a single eye to the public service; that reform
in Offices and officers will be firm and unyielding;
that all useless, superfuous and extravagant ex-
penditures will be curtaed, and all visionary and
oppressive schemes of currency will be repudiat-
ed and abandoned, the purse Of the nation separ-
ated from it's sword, and a system, rational, prac-
tical sound, and constitutional, take the place of
that iron bondage under which the nation has
hardly ceased to groan; and that the good old
days and honest principles of plain common sense
and true constitutional administration be restor-
ed, preserved, and we trust, perpetuated.
| RESOLVED, That we receive with great satisfac-
ton the spontaneous declaration of the President
| that if any war of the Government against the
currency has existed, it shall cease and that he
"wil promptly give his sanction to any Constitu-
&C tional measure, which, originating in Congress,
" shall have for its object the restoration ofa sound
a circulating medium, so essentially necessary to
give confidence in all the transactions of life, to
" secure to industry its just and adequate rewards
e and to re-establsh the public prosperity
Resolved, That the true principles of the great
American Wing party, from its earliest origin in
this country consist in resistance to arbitrary
power and maintenance of Constitutional right J;
