VIM. L Harris Esq, having been prevented
from the discharge Of his duties as chairman
OF the committee, which had been appointed to
report at to this meeting preamble and re-
solutions, the following preamble and resolu-
tons were offered by Rich'd Henry Browne.
as the report of the committee and, after We.
ry able and forcible address from Mr.. Henry
Dickinson, they were adopted.
Whereas the great Wing party of the Un-
ION, after one of the most animated and Sc
verely contested conflicts known in the annals
OF party warfare, succeeded most triumnbantlv
in electing to The Presidency of the u. States
that exalted patrot.and undoubted Republican
William Henry Harrison, whose untimelv
death in the midst ofhis career of usefulness
and gloIy,ls TO be deeply deplored as a nation
al misfortune and a melancholy instance of
he uncertainty Ofhuman affairs;
And whereas it is well known that, in that
momentous political contest, which resulted
IN the election of GeD. Harrison, the Wbios
were governed by certain. principles, which
wsre on all occasions openly and publicly de-
| clared:
And whereas the most prominent Cf those
principles was firm and resolute determine
ton on the part of the whcle body off the wings
10 wrest from the hands of the President the
enormous power furnished in the "Union ofthe
purse and The SloOrd, which had been late.
ly acquired by executive encroachment, and 10
remedy the evils which dsordered currency
had spread over the land like blighting pestif-
lence;
And whereas National Bank properly or.
ganized, was universally considered by the
great Wing party with perhaps few indivId
ual exceptions, as the the only effective means
of accomplishing these important ends both bv
serving as a safe depostary of the public fuEds
thereby keeping them from thes innmed;ate
control OF the President, and also by incidently
furnishing a sound ard uniform currency, for
the benefit of commerce; And whereas from
the nature of our representative Republican
Government, the great whig party ofthe I'm
ION after their triumphant success in the Presi-
dental election, had every reason to expect
that the principles, which they so strenuouslv
advocated during the canvass, would be car
ried into full operation by the agents whom
they had selected with express regard to that
object;
And whereas, in the Harrisburg convention
which assembled for the purpose Of uniting up
on suitable candidates to b. voted for bY the
Wings, as President and Vice President, Mr.
Tyler was the jealous and decided advocate
ofthe nomination of Mr.. Clay for the Presi-
dency, whose opinions in favor Of NatIonal
Bank were universally known;
And whereas from Mr.. Tyler's universal
concurrence with the general views of the
Wing party during the Presidential canvass,
his condemnation of the ub-Treasury system
his reprobation of the "Union Of the purse and
! .ke S10Ord; his endorsement of the opinions ex-
pressed by Gen. Harrison in his DAYTON
speeca on the subject of National bank, and
moreover from his absolute silence in regard
to his entertaining views at variance with
those OF the party whose support he was OBJ
tanning, no doubt was left on the minds ofthe
wings that he would faithfully carry into oper-
alton the principles upon which they had SO
cordially united in supporting him for the Vice
| Presidency;
Therefore be it resolved that although the wbios
of Lowndes County were inclined to treat
with foI bearance Mr.. Tyler's refusal to sane
ton the first Bank Bill which was brought be-
fore him during the present session Of Con-
| gress, Notwithstanding his declaration pre-
! vlous and subsequent TO his election "that his
course in this matter would be guided by the
conduct Of the fathers of the constitution,'') it
iswith extreme regret and modification that
theyfnd themselves compelled,in vindication Of
theiv own course and the principles which
have governed them, to make the declaration
that his Veto ofthe "Fiscal Corporation" Bill
is utterly inconsistent with his former connex-
ion with the great whig party, irreconcilable
with his implied if not positive pledges, and his
professed anxiety for the restoration ofa sound
and unifnrm currency and a separation of the
sword and the purse; and it is received by
them with mingled feelings Of disappointment
aud condemnation;
Resolved that, whilst they consider this act
of MIR. Tyler's as wholly inconsistent with ev.
cry principle of honor both morally and polItI
cally, solely from their respect for the Office
of Chief Magistrate ofthe United States, they
forbear from using such expressions as woulC
most properly describe such unparalleled apos
tacy;
Resolved, that they see with the deepes
concern that during the administration of JohT
/ TYLER, there is no certain prospect of RENE.
