following resolution:
Whereas, The imbecile course Of the
National Administrations the embar-
raised condition OF the country-the
stag0ation Of trade and commemorative
decline Of manulactures-the disordered
state of the cnrrency-the depression in
the value Of iaOor-the great prostra-
ton Of industry-and the paraI izad con
ditIon Of the energies and resources Of
the nation, all indicate that the time
has arrived when it is alike inst and
patriotic for the people to consider the
remedies for these alarming evils, and
to make a prompt aud fearless public
declaration Of that course which they
deem essential to o restoration Of nation
al prosperity:
And WherCaS, recent experience de-
monslrates that the President Of the
United States. yielding to the dictates
OF a misguided ambition, constantly
thwarts the effort Of the National Le-
gisIalure; and, instead Of acting in con-
cert with the Representatives of the
People, seeks 10 represent himself, in
stead OF the Nation, thereby f~orbid6ing
any reasonable hope Of bolter things
during his official term:
And wlerras, il is apparent thatto Sc

site that q Chief Magistrate should be
selected who not only combines in his
character brilliant natural endowments,
wisdom matured by experience, energy
tempered by prudence, but who is EN-
phatIcaJly an honest man, and who shall
act with a single aim for The advance.
ment, happiness and glory Of the coun-
try.
And whereas, among the many dis
tinguished SERVANTS Of the People, the
name Of HENRY CLAY is iIIustrious, as
blending in a pre.emioent degree these
important requisites Of a great and good
Chief Magistrate. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Democratic
Wing Electors OF the tiy of NeW York,
do hereby nominate Henry CidJ, Of ken'
tucky, as a candidate 70, the Presidency

gratitude is justly due TO him as a faith
iuI and well tted public servant, of honor
as an Industrious Orator and Statesman,
and affection as a Patriot and true and
warm hearted man, regarding him as
the Protector OF AimcriCdn LabOr-as
