AT large meeting, consisting in part OF RepublI-

Esq, appointed committee to report prean-
BILE and resolutions expressive OF the object OF .his

solutions
| 1t is well settled axiom in political ethics that
Republican form of Government presupp1ses, ~ its
institution, to produce and perpetuate 1.-THE greatest
| good the greatest number" and it is axiom
equally well settled by the combinations of expel
ence that continued indulgence in party differences
and party rancor, is productive Ct evils than of
benefits. 1t the observation of one of the most
eloquent and patriotic of revolutionary statesmen
Patrick Henry, "That government is, or ought to
be instituted for the common benefit, protection and
all ~ ~ modes and forms ~ aasernincn, that
40 vvsl which is capable of producing the greatest de-
gree of safety and happiness, and is most efecually
secured against the danger of maladmlnistration =
/ This was spoken of the form of government just
thea adopted for. the American Union. The Ian
| guage of Mr.. Henry orthodox in reason it
was patriotic in sentiment But at the time 1t was
uttered II was the greatest possible good OF the Anne
rcan People that commanded the aspirations and ex-
ertions OF American polItlcians-now in our o~ n
days, the aspirations and exerions of politicians are
directed exclusively TO the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and per-
| pc uty of party. To that portion of the American
| People, who love their country, and to whom the
prosperity and glory OF that country dearer than
all other considerations the trightfully denorazing
effects of party spirit, existing in land,
not but present subject of grief and modification.
| The interest Of the whole people are sacrificed, on
gogues, and partisan leaders Patriotism has become
word to be fled and hooled at, and the fame and
merits of too many successful politicians lauded
in proportion the recklessless of their conduct and
| the want of sincerity in their Intentions.
| Amid the dark picture of political degradation,
now staring the American people in the face, one
bright redeeming spot appears to give hope and
confidence to the Republican patriot The Pres-
dent of the nation has given assurance by has acts
that he will not be influenced trammelled by the
dictates Of party caprice, but that he will persist in
administering the affairs of the Government on
those pure and time honored principles which mark
ed the ascendancy of the venerated Jefferson. In
| John TYLER the Republicans of this Union have a
guaranty, that nothing on his part shall be omitted
that can conduce to the demolition of misguided and
ntoerant faction, and the restoration of the country
to its former greatness and glory. HIS life, ere he at
tanned his present high and well deserved elevation
presents to the mind of the American patriot series
of generous and disnterested abors for the good of
his country and in the few brief months that he has
filled the Presidential chair he has given unequivo
cal proofs of his determination fearlessly and un'
sweryngly to consult the greatest good to the great
| est numbei--to berate the people from the bonds
imposed upon them by unprnciped demagogu ;, and
to revive again, and give new life and force to the
almost forgotten doctrines of Republicanism There
| fore,
Resolped, That believing continuance Of the pre-
sent blind uncalcuatng, and furious spirit OF FAC
ton which now prevails, not amongst the American
people as body, but in their national councils, and
amongst their self-constued political leaders, is ra
pidy tending to plunge US into national disgrace and
ruin it is necessary Ion all honest and snglemnded
| Americans to ask some speedy means OF arrestlng
the evils with which they now threatened.
ReSoired, That as the presen, Pres dent OF the U
States, John Tyler has evnced an mistaken and I'M
equIveca attachment to the Constitution OF our COM
mon country and an equally unshaken and uncon-
querabe determination TO protect the rights OF the Sc
yeral states of this union, and the rights and liberties
oi the people of this union against all forms Of agges
sion and tyranny whatever, disposed to place
all confidence in his administration of the general
government, and are determined, while his course
OF policy continues in consonance with that pursued
by him now, 10 give his administration our most cor
dial, active and unreserved support.
Resoiped That we cannot too highly laud and APP
precate the conduct OF the President IN relation TO
the Improvement Ut the Navy, the vetoing OF the Two
monsters, and his the Tariff question
Rssorcd, That in oar support OF the pre- ,ett adj
ministration shall not be governed by devices or
caolerles of party names, but shall 90 onwardi IN the
great work, Republicans, looking not for official
emoIument, but regarding the good of our country
our highest reward
Which report adopted without one dissenting
voice While the report read, much confusion
was made by the Loco Regency, the Canton bankers,
their hrelings and understrdppers, together with a
number Of halt broken down merchants and their
counter hoppcrs the meeting could >not be further
continued on account Of their unprinciped course of
conduct
