have prsciieed the grossest exiravagance;
imposed excessive burdens where they
promised relief; have increased the pub

Resolved, therefore, That the powers
Of the General Government ought 10 be
conhned within strict construction Of
The constitution. and that Congress should
never exercise doubtful power.
Resolved, That since the present nd.
ministratlon came into Office, they have
exercised powers not authorized BY fi,e
Constitution, that the tendency Of iheil
measures has been 10 consolidate the 60.
vernment and impair the rights Of the
states.
Resolved, That die veto, iimiied as i
is by the wisdom of our fathers, is a con.
servaiive power well calculated 10 eonfins

prescribed by The ,onstituiion--that il
was intended for just such party as are
now in possession Of the government,
who airdys find in ihe constitution zu'
ihoriiy 10 do mha'erer they desire.
Resolved, That while we are in favour
Of raising sufficient revenue TO meet The
wants Of fhe government economically
administered, we are utterly opposed TO a
tariff for protection.
Resolved, That the establishment d a
National Bank is inexpedient and DANCE
rous TO public liberty, and without stop.
ping TO inquire into its constitutionality,
we are enormously opposed TO any such
institution.
Resolved, That whatever we might say
Of Bankrupt law based upon proper
principles. we utterly condemn and op'
pose that passed at the extra session Of
Congress.
Resolved, That we are. opposed the
bill distributing the proceeds OF the sales
Of the Public Lands among the states
that the failure TO repeal such measure
when the government is not only in debt
but its credi, so depressed as 10 he unable
even 10 borrow money except upon nnu-
sual terms. is wholly without justification
and can only be accounted for upon the
ground, either that j. was intended as
bride 10 buy up the votes Of the indebted
states, or that ], is tariff measure in dis
