Resolved, as the deliberate sense of this Conven-

this State is Justly due Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress- for their patriotic, persevering s.
patient efforts the present Tariff Law: law
which will greatly tend to relieve the distress and
embarrassment under which the country has so
long suffered that we recognise in the cry of Gre
peal,'' which has been sounded in ears, that
ion Of Treachery to the best interest Of the people,
and Indifference what constitutes those interests,
which has been effected by the obscene intemarriage
ofTylerism and Locofocosm pure: that we join issue
with our opponents on this great question Of repeal
and stand forth the unconditional advocates of
"PRoTECT1oN TO AMERICAN INDUSTRY, FOR
THE SAKE PRorEcTIoN.''
Which resolution was ably discussed by Hon.
William Upham, Senator elect, in speech of about
hour-in which he reviewed the policy of the
Government in relation to protection, from its origin
to the present time, and showed that the doctrine Of
the unconstitutionay of the protection of domestic
industry, was modern heresy, unknown to the pat
riotic fathers of the Republic He drew a vivid pic
ture of the state and principles parties prior the
election Of s40, and Of the distress and disuppont-
ment which have followed tho death of ilustrious
chief and the reacherous detection of his successor
and closed with an eloquent appeal to the Wings to
be up and dong,to prevent the baefu ascendancy of
Locofocosm.
The resolution was then adopted and the Conven-
ton adjourned.
