determination to leave nothing undone TO secure the
election Of our nominees We told that the candi
dates addressed the meeting, and were received with
the hearest applause and that better feeling never
was exhibited before by the little band of Democrats in
Annapolis
The nomination of James w. Williams by The De-

Familiar with legislation, a thoroughbred business

Of his election.

Resoired That we the delegates of this convention,

The gentlemen who were candidates for nomination,
viz Elias Brown, DR.. John G. Orrck and James W.
Williams pledged personally or by proxy 10 ABIDE
the decision Of the convention, to oppose U s Bank,
distribution Of the money arising from the sales OF the
public lands among the States; assumption OF State
Debts by the General Government and what is called
Protective Tariff; whereupon ballot,lng was had
which resulted in the nomination OF the Hon James W.
Williams, of Hartford county.
Gen. Tobias E. Stansbury offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted
First, proclaim our unfnching opposition to the
charter of National Bank believing, do, that
the trainers of our Constitution positively refused to
delegate this dangerous power TO Congress.
Twice has Congress, at time Of great pressure,
under the plea of necessity departed from this prohb-
ton Of the Constitution and IN each instance has TINS
politics of the nation and by its sudden expansion and
contraction, spread dismay, havoc and ruin through
out the whole Union and still more recently, we do
most confidently believe, and our firm conviction is
strengthened by daily developments, that the rechar-
Ter ofthe old Bank of the L. S. by the Legislature OF
Pennsyl~ ania, under the most suspicious circum-
stances OF fraud and collision, has been the frequent
cf commercial embarr aud the to-
tai arrangement OF our banking system, involving our
agricultural, manufacturing and technical interests in
distress and ruin.
We also decidedly hostile TO an extended system
of Internal Improvement to be carried by the Gene
raj Government; and think that Andrew Jackson is
entitled to the warmest thanks and gratitude Of The
American people for the wisdom aud frmness which
he displayed in resisting the Maysville Railroad Bill,
which evidently intended as entering wedge to
a most extensive system.
Had this scheme been successful, then would the
whole nation have abored under accumulated weight
of debt such al present bears heavily upon the CT
tzens Of Maryland.
We opposed to high Tariff for protection false
ly called the American System, believing, most
firmly do, that it would be unjust and oppressive in its
operation and most woully calculated endanger the
peace and harmony OF our happy Union. We are last
ly oppose TO the Distribution of the Public Lands
among the States, because believe that the national
domain is a sacred fund, soemny pledged by fore
fathers first to redeem National debt incurred If
Revolutionary struggle, then their proceeds TO be
applied to the defence of common country, as IN
the late expensive with England, and to be held
by the General Government in reserve to enable them
the efecually to protect and defend the Union
against the threatened attack ohe proud naughty
and powerful nation.
