From the Hartford (Ct.) Patriot and Eagle
CONSERVATIVE MEETING.

large and spirited meeting of the ConseI vatives
and Administration Wings, was held at Gilman S
Hall, on Friday evening the LIST instant, at which Jo-
sEPH Pratt Esq, officated Chairman and Charles
j. Gilbert, and Henry +. Gardner acted as Secreta-
ries.
Henry c. Flagg, Esq, of New Haven, and R. R.
Phelps, Esq. of Manchester, present and among
others, addressed the meeting in an able manner.
The following resolutions were discussed and
passed unanimously =
Resolved That the Conservatives and Democratic
Wings, upon uniting with the opponents of such
measures of the Administrations of General Jackson
and Mr.. Van Buren,, as they considered uncons,itu-
tonal and dangerous, intended to abandon the
principles of the old Republican party as taught by
that Apostle Of Liberty" Thomas Jefferson that
they did not then form, and that they have not since
in any way, directly indirectly, consented to FORM
Incorporate union with Federalism.
Res0lped That the present leaders OF the Ultra
Wing party, have right TO expect assistance In
carrying out any Federal measure in the State or
General Government, the object for which we
bned having been attained in the establishment OF
Democratic Administration which meets Our cordial
approbation and their unmeasured Reproduction.
Resoiped That in many of the appointments to
office in Connecticut too much of Federal influence
has been manifested, which satisfied may be
attributed to receptions praclised upon the Admins
tratiOn at w ahug on by their most determined enc
mics under the CARO- of friendship But We rejoice
in believing that such acts have been detected in
some instances, c0uneracted In others, ara VIII no
longer prevail.
Resoiped, That in John Tyler we recognize an
independent Republican, aiming solely at the good Of
the whole country, unlrammelled by party pledges,
distinctions objects, and adhering strictly TO the
principles of the Constitution. We approve his Ad-
minstratlon and fully accord in the measures pre-
posed in hls late able Message 10 Congress. We
have witnessed with pain and deep regret the unpro-
voked and cruel attacks made upon him in the Ma
tional Legislature by prominent men OF the Wig
L.. lxtx
election with entire knowledge of political views
and char cter and who oppose his best efforts for
the relief of suffering People, because he refuses TO
sacrifice his conscience, consistency and udgmt mt up
the altar of their will for the purpose OF their ag-
grandizement and the accomplishment of his own
ruin; while we cannot too highly recommend the
manly and patriotic of those who have sustained
| and indicated him.
Resolred, That we are constrained to condemn the
of many of the leading Wings and their presses
in Connecticut, in lending their aid to circulate ca
lumnes against Mr.. Tyler, and to embarrass his
Administration; and we unequivocay protest against
that part of the late Fast Proclamation of Governor
Ellsworth, which throws the whole subject of slavery
into the pulpit for clerical Remuneration, insi-
dious attack upon the moral and Christian character
of the President, who is named in it, in such
to show that the Gubernatorial maedction had
| its object.
RESOLVED, That towards liberal Of all parties,
entertain the kndliest feelings; and in opposition
10 IauCdilsI anu party ulCtatioh, VIZ mdhe CouiAoh
cause with them
Among many reasons for our distinct organization
at this time, the following may be briefly stated p
We cannot adopt the Wing State ticket because
we do not find upon it open and avowed friend Of
President Tyler and his Administration.
Because, his declared friends, 1t would be alike
inconsistent with professions and bis political in
terests President to BE- den fled with those, whose
doubtful position at best, renders them danger
Gus than could their open no liIity.
Because, we deprecate the REASONABLE Vaccinations
of the Abolonist, and cannot therefore support for
Governor the candidate who could court them, for
any nominee VIII, assisted in their attempt strike
from the Constitution the VOID white" and thus
degrade the white in Connecticut to level with
the negro.
Resolped, That the election of 1910, has resulted
in much good that the acts of the present Admins
tratIon have been such called for by that cleo
ton; that the reports of the several Secretaries have
esinced zeal, an industry and ability not surpassed
and that The foreign correspondence of the Stale De-
parment while IL attracts the admiration Of Europe,
affords just cause of exultation to every American
who feels pride in the elevation of National
chaIacter and that nothing but the operation of
Congress with the President and his Cabinet is re-
CURED for speedy relief from the embarrassmens of
the Government and the dstresses of the People.
