The meeting vas most eloqueny addressed by J. II.
Raymond, Esq, who frequently int, rrupted by
| enthu asc applause
The following preamble and resolutions were then
presented by Mr. freeman:
Whereas, we as Americans Republicans in faith
and IN principle he'd to institutions and low
with feelings OF shame and Indignation the fur
sued by the majority in Congress at the present and
extra session, designed to thwart the wishes and
Pectatons OF the people and utterly negectng adopt
such measures would tend TO benefit
country and bring relief to the people, lile the
same time they have attempted to impose upon in
slitutions and measures which would prove curse
| upon both; and Whereas their whole time has been
wasted IN the vain attempt to drive the Executive of
the Union into The support of their impoc
| charna and he. r a..
Republic, in order To place in the Executive chair
their own ambitious leader, therefore
Resolved, That we will cast aside all personal pre-
| elections and act solely for country, and
ready and willing to sustain the President of the
United States so long he remains in the Executive
chair, and acts with the same independence imne-s
and decision he has already shown in rejecting the
| Pernicious measures of ambitious politicians.
Resolved, That we are opposed TO a United States
Bank that the terrible evils and the wide spread
rum inflicted upon the people by the late National
Bank, warn US in language not to be misunderstood,
| of the dangers and corrupng influence of such an
institution.
Resolved, That the President in vEToING two bills
| for charenug National Bank at the session,
deserves the gratitude of the American people His
manly frmness in staying those corrupt measures,
proved him to be beyond the reach of the threats OF
his enemies and above the fulsome altery of his pre-
tended friends.
Resolved, That his Opponents in bringing forward
disregard of public opinion, while the Executive ia
his ve,Oes recognized the will of the people, and In
reerating his belief of the unconsl u,ionalty of the
measures OF ambitious men, he has proved himself to
be possessed of tie patriotism, actuated and guided by
the principles which have ruled the OF the
great Democratic family.
Resolved, That in his late veto upon the cunningly
devised Tariff bill, accompanied with Distribution he
has again given evidence of his Underwriting patriot
ism and purity OF motives in shielding the people from
iha1 doe laid pI had man nd piupiuu IN fha
bud their insldous attempts 10 gain Ivy stealth and
covert devices what they well knew could not be OBJ
tained by open and fan legislation.
Resolved, That We 60 for principles not men,
and those 90 for Democratic principles, and
| whoever lends his undivided support in sustaining
them against the enemies of county, and Demo
crazy shall be in return sustained by US. That we
discIam all intention of proclaimng any man our
candidate for the Presidency but ready and will
ling, deemng it the boundcn duty of every Republi-
can while he stands the acknowledged head of the
MON, to give to the Executive firm, fair and con
sIstent support To all his and his acts that
Democratic in their nature and are calculated to
benefit our country at large.
Resolved, That the present w hig majority IN Con-
gress have proved themselves utterly unworthy the
places they occupy. They have forfeited every pledge
broken every promise made to the people, and with
overwhelming majority and after an unPrecedeht-
ed session of ten months, at enormous expense to
the country they have done literally nothing for the
hope, and bordering on despair
Resolved, That in the withdrawal from the Senate
of Henry Clay, We recognize the movement OF an
ambitious politician, and although In retirement wlh-
in the 'shades Of Ashland" his turbulent spirit
moves, and his will guides his adherenls at the capitol
and in Their endeavors to head the President and
elevate their oft rejected favorite to the Executive
chair they forget the duties they owe to the country,
and ready sacrifice her best interests, and
danger the country itself to crafty their unholy am
bition.
Resolved That we are in favor of tariff for reve-
nue. sufficient to supply the necessary wants of the
Government; and the wicked attempts of the MAORI
ty, by system Of chicanery, secret caucusses and
open bargaining, better known logrolllng, 10 force
through some obnoxious measure, by fastening the
same upon a bill for revenue deserves and will
ceive the condemnation of every true iriend OF his
country.
Resolved, That we now call upon the Wing ma
Jority in Congress, If they possessed oil single
particle Of the patriotism they have 80 loudly pro-
fessedf they have any desire to arrest the Govern
ment from inevitable bankruptcy, IT they have any
feeling or regard for the thousands, who, through
their neglect provide the means, have been deprived
of employment, and flung upon cold and hearess
world in many instances deprived of food for them
selves and shelter for their families, they will at once
and without delay, pass revenue bill sufficient TO
meet the wants Of the Government, and enable 1t to
satisfy once all just demands which may be made
upon the Treasury.
Resolved, That # the parsans of Henry Clay dread
the veto power, let them pass the revenue bill as
distinct and separate measure and thus prevent the
necessity for It's employment Or if they desire to
make capital out of It's frequent use by denouncIng IT
as the one power, or TO test the feelings and
spnons of the President, call upon them to pass
their favore bill for distributing the proceeds derived
from the sale of he public lands in distinct and Sc
paate form, and we willing to leave the result
with the Executive and the people.
