WING MEETING IN AMHERST.

the Chair, and DE-. DAVID Patteson was appointed
accrclatY.
Whcroupon the committee appointed ct previ-
Qua meeting for that purpose, through the hands Of
their Chairman, Robert Camm, Esq. offered the
following Preamble and Resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, viz:
WHtRsAs, by the dispensation Of Providence, the
pure and vcnerated Harrison, who had been called
TO preside the destnies OF this great people, by
a M orty Unprecedented In the history Of our Gov
crnmeni, within one short month after las induction
into Office was stricken from amongst us 10y the
hand OF death; and whereas his constitutional sue
cessor, THE late Wee Presidency John Tyler, since
De has assumed the duties thus cast upon him, by
this great national calamity, and tho operation OF
the Constitution, has thrown himself IN opposition
70 the Representatives Of the people, and by the ca
pricuus and tyrannical exercise Of the Veto power
paraiyzed and defeated every leading measure "
the par,y that elected him, for the relief OF an OPP
pressed people, and the restoration OF inc ios' pros
pcrity OF the country; and whereas, oy ns oPen anu
shameless efforts to buy up a party-by the profit
,te and corrupt use Of tho patronage OF his Office
Iv his yetocs of the Bank, and the moral turpiude
OF his conduct in connection therewuh-oy MS
veto ofthe Temporary Revenue Bill. and threaten
cd veto of the tariff for revenue IN order TO coerce
the representatives of the people into repeal Of
the Distribution Act-nay, by all the prominent acts
of his administration, which have been apty cha
rac.orizsd as "weak and vacillaiing," and We will
add cOerunt-hC has manifested noh Ohiy uu uAei
rontempt for the will of the people, and total
abandonment OF all the great whig principles which
ne profssssd whilst seeking Office at our hands,
coupled with fixed design to consummhte ms
trenchory, by bringing again into power the party
md the principles which in 1910 were so indignant
Iy renujated by an outraged and abused people
but has incurred the deep disapprobauon OF all no
nornbIe minds and by those who duly appreciate
the term has even ceased 10 be regarded as gen
tlemnn; and whereas from the unfortunate fact that
nd IN NJ
of 1910 by Whis votes was honored with the Sc
cond Office in the Gift OF the people, many unin
formed persons, through the insldious Vaccinations
oi oar opponents are visiting his acts IN judgment
on the Wings, party, and are thus tteaeherous-
~ scduco6 from the support oil principles, the sue
cessiul muntainanco of which, we conseientously
believe to be insepa'ab,y connected with liberty
tsc.f; and whereas experience has taught US, II Is
dangerous longer to remain in our disorsanized
slate--tha,, with an arlu embi,tered and organiz-
cd enemy in the field, II We would avoid defeat and
ensure victory, il we would guard against being
routed 10 de,schments and cut oa in detail, we must
have some chief TO personily our priuciples-some
gallant leader, under whose banner we may go forth
TO battle, and around which we may form and rally
whon the fight is against U.S.
Therefore We, the Wings Of Amherst in council
assembled, do hereby solemny, before God and
man, repuda,e John Tyler and his Measures
Losihins the one, and fearing the oiher-despisns
the traitor, and protesting against his principles,
Taught with uumiXed evils TO his country, We DO
hereby. as portion OF the betrayed party which
cll he'd him 'giih power, proclaim TO the world our
deep adherence of the migrate aposiate, and our
firm and uncomfortable determination 10 resist ito
the death" him and his treacherous Vaccinations.
On the coming contest with him and his allies, "War
10 the Knife" is the motto emblazNned on our
shields. The time for acting and speaking has ar
rived and we should be false 10 ourselves, pTin
cples, and our country, longer 10 be SILENT Too
l0n= already have We borne in silence the jeerng
taunts Of our adverSaries. BY their viles and DO
ceptve Establishments, they have sedueed him from
the paths Of honesty, and by our silence they hope
To visi, upon US the iniamy and ruin of his admin.
