Whereas, in the opinion Of this meeting, it becomes
necessary for all those who believe in, and are wiiin.
to act GU, the principles of the State Rights Republic
can Party, to ayow them openly, plainly, and publicly
nay, in a word, 10 hang out their banner, and give
i; 10 The breeze, with the inscription, The Constitution
as Il is, and MT as The FederaiiSis 1coaid h"rc u
We have witnessed the doIngs Of some OF the late
Why Party, who, BIZ a combination Of circumstances,
needless here IL mention, and with 4 zeal and course
al,ore,her unprecedented in any former Presidential
contest. succeeded in ele ~valirgto The Presidential Clair
one. who, from age, and other canses might, had he
have lived, given sanction to measures not only uncon.
st,tpi;onal but inimical TO the welfare of thu people OF
the United States. Without any declaration showing
The principles by which these were to be governed
leayinr il 10 their orators to Judge what was best suited
10 catch votes in The different sections Of The country
declaiming against what they said were the abuses OF
The Government ayoring, BY all sorts OF shows
and professions, TO keep alive the p%rejudices OF the peo-
ple. they were enabled 10 elect General Harrison, and
nut down MIR. Van Buren,. What as much as any
ibino else enabled them TO do so, was the proiuse
promises of reforming the currency and lessenlnS the
q expenditures Of the Government. That The wings
did not think il necessary, IN order to establish an uni-
form currency, and to regulate the same, that a Bank
shonld he created for that purpose, no well informed
Wing, if honest, will deny; and not only had General
Harrison and MIR. Tyler shown by their votes and
pubIic speeches, that Congress did not possess the
powcr 10 charter a Bank, but most of those who most
warmly and zealously advocated their cause were loud
in proclaiming this fact TO The people. Witness, among
other things, The proceedings Of the Wing Convention
Of this District. What d d they say upon TINS SUBJECT
That HIRE it is. Look al it. They quote Gene
raj Harrison as saying, 81 believe that The charter
oiven 10 the Bank Of the United States was unconst'-
iutional." OF Mr.. Tyler, they say that he is ga Pir-
Oiinian by birth, by feeling, BY principle, by residence
by interest" They also say of him, that 'he Is ire
nroachable in morals, end endowed with a high order
If abilities and that he is Ga Republican of the
strictest sect" Could language be plaIneF' M, re
rim, With what grace, then, can any one, even 1t ne
he far gone with the "Bous," stand up and accuse Mr.
TYLER with perfdy? Nothing but blind party zeal, q
deter to abuse, could have induced any one to
make such a charge. John Tyler, guilty OF perhdy,
for refusing to approve a law clarterlng a Bank win
branches in the States! O, monstrons And 10 II per
6dy for Mr.. Tyler to do that which he has always de-
Jared onpht 10 be done-that which The Wings before
his election said he would do-that which II he had mol
have done, would have proven him to be a traitor 10 his
con~c;ence and his country: We admire The firm
ness and moral courage exhibited BY MIR. Tyler IN
yetoing the Bank bills, and in shelving to the great
dictator, his satellites, and letter-writers, that no
threat, however potent OF beng 'hc0ded, had any
terrors for him., when in the discharge OF hIs dnty.
We look forword with The hope, that rs Mr.. 1y-
ler has shaken off his Federal Cabinet, and IS now
in part, mt least, surrounded By those who are IN
Whirs) Wings OF the right sort, that hrs future course
will be such as TO d~,ssipate the fears we had entertained
that, for the next four years, Federalism wonid ROT upon
The Constitution and trample down Republicanlsin.--
The veto of the two Bank bills, We fondly hope is only
the beginning of ssgood things" that Democratic STATE
Riohts pyincipies will again predominant, that our old
Republican flag will again wave over every part OF the
land until the wilderness and solitary place shall Feloice
and be made glad, and the desert blossom as the rose,
iii from Maine TO Florida and from the wide Atlantic
10 the rocky mountains the freeman's song shall be
&c T.Jer and he Constitution" And from generation 10
generation may the tale be told that Clay, Ewing, Bel,
and Badger were insufficient, although aided By Bots,
10 "lead Captain 7ylsT." BE it therefore
]. Resolred, That we cannot too much admire and
approve the frmness manifested by MI iyier IN the
exercise of his constitutional right, in vetoing the bank
bills.
,. Resolred, That We disapproye in toto of the Dis
tribution bill, and I've recommend IFS repeal, and here
hy instruct our Representative in Congress to urge It's
repeal at the next session of Congress.
g. Resoired, That we saw no necessity for Inc cal
IF the late Extra Session of Congress-, aud believe that
il was conceived in an unwarrantable eagerness to tas-
ten. hy surprise, on the people, a series of measures
heretofore repudiated By them, and which their delibe.
rate judgments would never sanction.
4. RcSoised, That we find that The professions of a
large majority Of the Wings before and after the cleo.
ton are no, one and the same thing.
5. Resoired, That the course of our very worthy
Representative in Congress, the Hon. MIR. Hunter, mas
been in accordance with or wishes, and as he pro-
