The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-01-26

Res0ired, That we recognize IN the upright conduct
of the Executive of the United States, anxious dc
sire and ardent wish 10 carry out the true doctrines
and principles OF the Constitution, and to fashion his
administration of the Government upon the good old
democratic platform of that great arhcer Of the real
Republican party of this country, the lustrous and
beloved Thomas Jeferson-whose name will new
er be forgotten while single pillar in the temple
Of American Freedom shall be left to honor his
memory.
Resolved, That, while we repose the entire comb
dence Of true American freemen in the general good
intentions and the ardent desires Of the mass oil The
members Of Congress to promote the great inte rests
OF their common constituents, feel bound 10 give
vent to free expression of regrets, that there
individuals, in each branch Of the National Lee
gislature who seek only the qualification Of their per-
sona aspirations-that the relief of their oppressed
and suffering country is but secondary object
| Resolved, That il is firm conviction, that the
! Exchequer bill with a few notifications and amend
ments) ought to become law-at the same time
that it is an improvement on the condemned Sub
| Treasury, and would answer all the purposes oil a
United States bank without partaking of the danger
Gus tendencies of either. Under these consldera-
tons we with feelings of deep regret are compelled
to condemn the course of its opposers.
Resolred That it belongs to the sovereign people,
when they find their business para yZed their taxes
increasing their enterprise cramped, and their bur-
hens multiplied to search into the cause OF their OPP
pressons-and that, if they find these effects TO now
from the aithlessness and sesness OF their pubic
servants, il behooves them TO dismiss sucf from te
| confidence and service
Resolved, That the extraordinary depression in the
price of property and the products of the country
is the legitimate offspring Of bad and party legsla-
ton. state of things 50 amentable could scarcely
have existed in land distinguished for the native
and habitua enterprise of inhabitants and for the
unequalled fertility of its SOIL if those who made its
laws and controlled its government had consulted
country more and party less
Resolved That the time has fully come when all
honest should feel constrained TO lay aside party
hummery of every description, and sobery and calm
ly consider sad condition, and adopt ehecual
measures to rid the Government of party and parti-
sans, and entrus its administration only to men who
are capable of breaking party trammels, and making
the requisite sacrifices and exertons for the public
good
Resolved That existing evils demand the exercise
of all iirmness patriotism, and eXerton---and,
while we leave the making of Presidents to those
who seek to profit by politics by games of chance,
consider the agitation of the Presidential success
, sion premature, uncaed for, and unpatrlotic
Resolved, That Committee OF Correspondence, To
consist of nine be appointed by this meeting, to be-
come the channel of communication with our friends
throughout Ohio, and that they such, until
the meeting of general State Convention
Resolved That we have cause to apprehend that the
high hopes we had formed at the coming together of
our present General Assembly, of that relief which
was anxously sought for by the people of our
great and suffering commonwealth, may be frustrated
by few whose imprudence and ndiscretion have be-
come proverbial among us that although our comb
dence remains undated in the sterling honesty and
integrity Of the of the members in each body OF
our Legislature whose aim it is and has been to do
right and whose efforts will be to promote our To-
n cal welfare as a member of the Union, can but
fear from the nconsderate action Of individuals,
disastrous result.
: Resotred, That we unequiyocally condemn the evils
of the present banking system and its abusesyet we
S firmly believe that the business of the country re-
: qures some well regulated institutions
Reeolred That the Committee of dependence
# appointed by this meeting, do prepare and publish an
# address to the Republicans of Ohio, inviting Con
vention of the friends Of the present Administration,
to be held at this city the 18th day of April next
Resoired That the editors Of the Journals of this
city be respectfully requested to publish the proceed
: ings of this meeting.
