of Je1ersonian Democracy, widely among the people,
will tend eifectually to preserve the ins buttons OF H.

Resolved That dicla,ion or party subserviency are
no part Of our political creed We extend to all the
glorious privilege guaranteed to every American cti-
zen high low, rich or poor, the privilege OF think
ing for himself, and acting as he thinks.
Resolred, That the system of Regency dctation re-
Gently established by the Wing party, is characteristic
of the source from whence it originated, and shows
how entirely dependent and seve those are expected
TO be who submit to the dynasty of Federalism Gag
laws and stand-up lawsA gone into the shade by
this modern invention.
Ipesoiped That we heartily approve of the course
pursued by the Administration relation to he Unl-
ted States Bank and admire the fearless honesty
and independent patriotism OF JOHN TYLER, in
daring to sustain the principles upon which Gen. Har-
rson was elected President and which he was pledg-
ed to sustain.
Resoiped, That the conduct of the Wing party in
proclaiming John Tyler traitor, and burning him in
effipy because he would not bend his neck to their
acous purposes, deserves rebuke from every
patriot 1t shows how little that party are entitled to
the distinction which they have arrogated TO them
selves Of call the decency."
Resolved That while willing to express
ourselves unreservedy in favor of judclous Tariff
which shall al the time support The Government
and protect the rights of the people, we cannot but
consider that the efforts of the Wing party to make
that question hobby for broken down politician to
ride into power as lcuated to hwarl the wishes OF
the .rends of this much needed measure and to en-
danger the true interests of New England
Resoiped That it is the policy OF the Conservatives
to resist equally The ulTaisms OF the Wing party and
the radicasns of the Loco Focos both are
equally obnoxious as beral and ant-democratic,
and both are injurious to the best interests OF the
people
Resolpcd, That we recognise as Conservatives,
those who are willing to sustain the Administration
of John Tyler-those who bore the name and sus-
tanned the character of Harrison men and democratic
w Wigs before the Presidential election-those who
are opposed to regency dictation in the Wing and
Loco Foco parties-those who are willing to stand on
the open and honest ground of compromise between
party extremes,-and that we invite all such to unite
with in the support of Conservative Admlnstra-
ton State Ticket.
Resolved That we have full confidence in the in
egrity ability, and political principles OF the gentle
men on the Conservative Ticket, for State officers
nominated this day. and that will use all honorable
means to secure their election.
