ResOlued--That lhe Bill, proposing TO Vio-
ate the Compromise Act, in remoddliDg the
Tariff Td1-- thereby taxlngihe food and rail-
menl of the Poor land excluding the lands and
palaces OF the rich--is completely characters.
tic oflhe spirit Of British Whggery; & smacks
strongly of the oppressive hthe aud civil fGr
oppression, Of the ancient and modern eastern
tyranis~-is both uncoEslituanl, unequal, unfair
unjust and will never be submitted 10 in silence
by a free aud intelligent people.
ReSOlued That IN our opinion, Protective
Tariff, is but another name for Law 10 ''make
the rich richer, and the poor poOrer,"--ihat it
is system which tdTes the great mass Of. the
people, for the benefit Of a few specializing man
ufacturers--tbai il depresses individual enter
prize, and begeis spirit Of monopy-that it
invites an expansion and consequent coutrac-
ton Of paper currency and it is policy in
vented in The OZARK ages" and in no way com
genial with the liberal doctrines OF Democracy!
ResOloed--Thal we believe the only protec-
ton required by free and enterprzng peo-
pie, from their government, is 10 be let alone 10
the quiel enjoyment Of free hade-- equal laws
auG equal rights!
ResOlvcd-That all the powers intended to
BE- delegates to the federal Government are
expressed in the Constitution, all others be-
long to the respective States of the Union.
ReSOlusd--That all laws which tend to pro.
mote the interest Of the tew at The expense of
the many, an founded IN spirit Of despo,lsm,
are dangerous TO civil liberty and ought @ol 10
be tolerated by free people.
Resolred--That we believe with THOMAS
JEFFERSON, the founder of oar political creed
'that banking establishments are more dan
gerous than standing armies,' and that we will
never cease TO battle against them until Mev
are thoroughly and radically reformed,
Rosolosd-That in our opinion, Congressh
no po Ser 10 charter National Bank ->tbat we
we believe such an institution one Of deadly
hostility 10 the best interests oftho coun,ry--
dangerous TO our Republican Institutions and
The liberties Of the people, and calculated to
place the business and wealth lOf the coun-
try within the control Of a money power, aud
above the laws and will of the people.
ResolDrd- That We believe National Bank
vested with such powe,; As ia contemplated IN
Clay'S Bank Bill which recently passed both
houses Of Congress, would he capable of grad
nal extension, until rs power would exceed
thatol tho General Government, and bseome
too giganuc TO be over'hrown except by war
and bloodshcd Therefore.
ResOlced, That We will oppose, 10 every law
fnl and honolhe manner, the creation of Ma
uoual Bank of any Kind: and should ona be-
chartered we will make war upon its corporate
power 81 obsLuet it's operations in every pos
sible legitimate manner, until it is broken
down, and rooted on, OF The land. ~
Resoiued; That we will support no man for
cficc, of any kind whatever, who will not
pledge blmself 10 use his influence, and his
votes III favor of.he Repeal Of lhe charter of a
National Bank Of discount and circulation ;
should such an institution evor be created by
Congress.
ReSolUed, That The people have the indefeas
ible right 10 order the repeal OF any law which
they believe 10 be unconstitutional or injurious
TO the public veal, and that we will never vote
for any man for any Office who is known 10 dis
pute such right.
ResOlued, That we hail the Veto Of John Ty :
Ter, upon the Bank Bill recently passed by
Congress, as another glorious triumph Of our
sacred Constitution over the powerful machin-
ati0ns 'ot lie federal enemies.
RssOlUsd, That for this noble, and manly,
display oflndependence and patriotism on the
part ofthe present Chief Magistrate agnst the
known wishes and exposulations oflhe Cab
met; John Tyler has the grateful and heartfelt
Acknowledgements ofthis Convention & will le
csiVe lhelasling gratitude Of generous peo>
pie.
ResoIUed, That our motto is ''Principles not
men," and as we look more to the measures
than 10 the man; we will sustain John Tyler
in the doctrines and principles set forth in his
veto message; and hail them as true Jeffersoni
sn objections to a National Bank; worthy Of a
Jackson or Van Buren;
' ResolUsd, That the late iDsul, offered by
Bank bulies and rufiiuns 10 the President Of
the United States, merely because he had the
noble and daring patriotism to shield and pro-
tect the constitution from federal violence by
placing his veto upon the Fiscal Agent bill, is
regarded BY us with indignation and contempt;
aud that all who were engagedin the outrage
ought to be drummed out the country 10 The
tune Of the rogues march,"
ReSolued, Thatwe consider the stand taken
by John Tyler, on this momentous occasion,
as furnishing the browning evidence Of the de>
ceit and hypecracy pracilsed BY The federal par
" IN the late campaign; and that in takinga
long tried, and we'll known States Right man,
as candidate for Vice President believing
