WHEREAS, foalfM crisis la. occurred IN the
affair, of tie Go,cruIacnt, spreadln. It's desolat-
in, Influences over the whole land. prostTatinc the
energies Of honest industry. and paralyzing alike
The efforts OF all clas -es--glvlng the People, IN
:; ad of the prosperity and conicBtment enjoyed
in wear. past snder happy 'ytem of Govern
ment, bankrupt Treasury, an embarrassed Com
merce. restricted and fctered foreign trade,
disoricrcd and ruined currency, and paral,zins,
most f,arlullv domestic manufactures, stripping
labor of IL ju, reward wealth OF its possessions.
robbiug communities ,nd families of thsir hopes
nud prospects, and bringing the Government IL
self once the proud boast OF every heart that beat
for the cause of Freedom, into disgrace and ridi-
cslo
And whereas. this condition Of affairs, which
began in Administrations past. has been continued
and eytsnded by the peifdy and deceitiuness ot
NE nan whom the Wings, IN an snpropltious hour,
elevated 10 place and station and who, by an un-
expected and deeply dePlorcd dNPensation OF
'-oy y.dence. ha, become the President OF the
7 nited Siates--a man whe, yielding to the
of overweening ambition, And the
subiec, Of a weak and imbecile mind, has proved
false TO hi. pledges and tho country hopes, and,
instead of acting in concert with the hlgh eNpec-
tstons and purposes OF his friends and the coun-
,ry. has turned a deaf ear to all their demands,
and rhwarted and defeated their most cherished
rights:
And whereas. il has now become evident that
pa,ri.,ic and faithful administration OF the Gov
crlncn, is aloue To be expected from THAT Man
who. in "A most eminent degree, combines the
qualifications sf the patriot, the honest man. and
the enlightened and experienced statesman, with
fidelity of character which does not admit OF sus-
picon-an energy and industry which knows no
iirng-a perseverance which, through forty years
of public life, has been unceasing and directed
that MAN who. in all the storms and vici'sltudcs
of IN, country has stood tho unterrihed, the an
Welding champion Of his countrys rights and his
country. welfare-ihat Man who, in the halls OF
the Legislature in the Court and the Cabinet has
been the successful, devoted and ondeviating de-
fender of the trust reposed in him, and who has
cvinced his ftucs, for any station to which he may
be called. These, and more than these virtues,
We believe, are united in Henry CLAY, OF Ken
lucky Therefore,
Pcsolred. That We. portion Of the great Wing
pnr,y. DO NOMINATE HENRY CLAY, Or
kENTUCKY, FOR PRESIDENT OF IhE
UNITED STATES.
Rssolred, That We will give to the measures OF
the Wing party, and the elevation OF Henry
CLAY to the Presidency, our united and unceaslng
exertions: and to attain these ends, We pledge
oursclye, TO use all means which, as honorable
men and citizens, it may be right for US to employ.
Resolred. That to carry out this resolution with
the more effect. We will form Club, 10 be called
