Resofatioag.
Believing in the capacity Of the people
for sc!f.goFcrnment, and in the free excr-
ciso Of their right peaceably to assemble
toF the purpose OF expressing their senti-
mems on all proper subjects and that in
Wow Of the great questions which agitate
the body.polltlc, it is no; only our province
but our bottrden duty to confer with each
other, and calmly TO discuss measures for
the last'ng good Of Louisiana and of the
whole Union; be it therefore,
Rcso7red, That We hnve an abiding con
idence in The great principles Of the demo.
@ratic party, and the test Of time and expe-
riepcc confirms Us in The conviction Of
their correctness.
Reaofred, That we have implicit faith in
the virtue and intelligence of the people,
whose "sober second thought has ever
RISEN above the trafnrncIs Of party and
looked 10 the genera! good.
Reso'red, That while we take encourage
'ncnt from recent elections, We see in them
q wf1n conformation of wbig relief and
cabinet di, closures, and Il hearty approval
Of the noble stand taken by the Immortal
twenty-five democratic scnators--a rebukc
to the baHchering policy Of Il party who
promised that "proscri ption should be pro-
scribed," but strangely forgottl cir plighted
faith wen the ~trappings Of office were
suspended over them, discriminating the
honest and capable 10 make room for pipe
aging denagognes.
ResolUcd, That We have ever considered
the calling Ct an extra session Of Congrs So,
al an enormous expense to the govern.
meat. as unnecessary and unwlse, believing
that no sufficient cause existed to warrant
the exercise Oft is high p~rerogative; and
that the country has suffered irrcparably
greater injury. than the natural course OF
events. could has g brought about, by the
crude acts Of the late extraordinary ses-
sion, 10 each and all Of which we declare
our uncompronising hostility, as being
gross lnfractions Of the american constitu-
ton or deceptive means for political ends.
Reso'rcd, That the odious 'gag rule"
adopted by a wing majority in Congress,
prohibiting democratic members from that
free discussion Of measures to which they
were entitled and which their constituents
expected, is a second edition of the sodi-
lion law and merits the same fate.
Rcso'red, That in condemn'ng a MAORI
ty of the acts of this administration, we
checrfllly declare to the world that John
by yetoiag the two bank bills, not
only exercised Il constitutional right but
maintained becoming and manly digni-
t~y-exhibited a degree Of moral f~rEnness
unsurpassed in the annals of history
dared to be honest with himself and a
bank-slck country, despite the t~hreatenings
of those who elevated him to power, know
ing him to be opposed to the monster and
all It's BROOD, and that he has expressed the
cardinal democratic principles in relation
to a National Bank. f.
Reso}red, That we concur IN the %proprie-
y of holding a democratic mass conyen-
lion in New Orleans, on the sth of January
next, for the purposes set forth in the "pro-
,cedings Of a public meeting Of the demo-
of East FeIiciana," and that 200
delegates be appointed by the presiding Of
icer to attend said convention.
