PUBLIC MEETINGS.

We see that meetings are being held in the
interior of many of the States, principally COM
posed of Democrats, which heartily sustain the
course of the Executive. We copy the follow
ing from the Bridgeport Republican Farmer;
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
At meeting ofthe Democrats of the city of Bridge
port, holden at the City Court Room, the evening
of the h of September 1912, pursuant to previous
notice, motion, Samuel Simons was appointed
Chairman, and Smith Tweedy, Secretary. The object
Of the meeting being made known by the Chair, mo-
ton was made that committee of three be appointed
to retire and draft resolutions which they did, and
presented the following, which were adopted
Whereas it becomes all good citizens of this en-
ightened Republic to respect the "powers that be,
and especially the Chief Magistrate thereof and to
impress upon the rising generation the Importance of
knowledge of the principles of our Republican Go
vernmeni, rather than the government of impulse and
faction; and whereas, the present Chief Magistrate
elected contrary to the wishes of the Democratic
party, yet we deem it duty TO him to manifest
appreciation of his acts when in conformity with our
opinion of what is right therefore,
Resolred, That we view the acts of President Ty-
Ier in veoing the National Bank bill, at the extra
sion of Congress, glorious triumph of patriotism
over party infuence whereby he maintained con-
ssency of character saved the country from an incu
rabe curse, attempted to be imposed upon il by STEALTH
when the people were not Represented on the suDJec
and is thereby entitled to the gratitude of every De-
mocrat in this Republic.
Rssoiped, That while We approve OF the principle
Of protecting our industry, by imposing duties
importatons sufficient to defray the expenses of Gov
ernment do not the propricy OF collecting mo-
ney from the people by the sale of public lands NTH
hand and with the other handing it back TO them
nor of imposing duty tea and coffee to protect our
labor; nor of imposing duty on many articles so
high for the purpose of filling the Treasury as to pre-
vent their mportation and view the efforts of the
majority of Congress as plainly indicating desire to
keep open the tariff question for future eectoneerng
purposes, without, regarding the interest of the labor
ing classes, Tor whom they have protested so much;
and hence we approve Of the veto of the President
thereon.
Resoiped That while deprecate and condemn
the low and unqualified abuse heaped on President
Tyler by his old adversares at the same time re-
minds us that the insu coordinate, mutnous and
abusive cour,e practsed by men who Droiessed
the same principles, towards the iustrious Jefferson,
Madison, Jackson, and Van Buren,, and OF all, for
what the country approved and will approve.
Resoipcd That the condemnation of President
Tyler by the House has its parallel in the condemna-
ton of President Jackson by the Senate, and deserves
the fate viz to be surrounded with black lines
and erpunged across its face
Resoired That we hold that all candidates for pub
lie stations should furnish their creed for the public
eye, and that the legitimate fruit of faction is confu
SION.
Resolped That the foregoing resolutions be signed
by the Chairman and Secretary and published in the
Republican Farmer.
SAMUEL sIMONS, Chairman.
SMITH TwEEpY, Secretary.
