party in power, once more saddIing upon
the American people, another odious Bank,
gripping the financial resources of the
people, reducing the price Of honest labor,
and feeding hungry brood Of cormorants
now fattenlng upon the body polite.
Res0lrcd, That the removal Of that dis
tinguished Patriot and soldier Henry Dodge
from the Office Of Governar of Wisconsin,
Is fragrant breach Of the known and ex-
pressed opinions Of the present administra-
ton, and an act uparalIeIed in the most
lntolerant cases Of prescription, either Of
the present or former wing dynasties.
ReSOlred, That our delegates to the Ter
rltorial Convention be instructed to support
Henry Dodge as nominee Of the Demo

ReSolced, That had it become necessary
in order to satisfy political vuItures, to
have had Elk Governor Dodge removed,
