minated candidates for State officers. We re-
greet that we have not room to-day for their spl
rited address We clip the resolutions, how
ever, from the Hartford Patriot and Eagle We
are informed that this party is growing stronger
daily, and that if it cannot elect an Administra-
tor Governor, &C., at their next election, it will
certainly return enough members to the Legisla-
ture to secure Senator in Congress-
RESOLUTIONS
Resolued, That to enjoy free institutions, the people
must not only be free, but must also understand the
character and principles OF the Government unueT
which they live
Resolued, That the dissemination of the principles
of Jefersonian Democracy, widely among the people,
will tend efectually to preserve the institutions OF IL
berty and will check that spirit of radicalism
which is exercising most pernicious influence in
corrupting and destroying the ancient landmarks OF
democracy.
Resolped, That dictation party subservency are
no part of political creed We extend to all the
glorious privilege guaranteed to every American ct-
zen, high or low, rich poor the privilege of think
ing for himself, and acting as he thinks.
Resolped, 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 servile those expected
to be who submit to the dynasty of Federalism. Gag
laws and stand-up laws have gone into the shade by
this modern invention.
Resoiued That heartily approve of the
pursued by the Administration relation to the mi
ted States Bank and we admire the fearless honesty
and independent patriotism of JOHN TYLER, in
daring to sustain the principles upon which Gen. Har
rison was elected President and which he pledg
ed to sustain.
Resolued That the conduct of the Wing party in
procaimng John Tyler traitor, and burning him In
etfigy because he would not bend his neck to their
acous purposes, deserves severe rebuke from every
patriot 1t shows how little that party entitled TO
the distinction which they have arrogated to them
selves of call the decency"
ReSoiped, That while willing to express
ourselves unreservedly in favor of judcious Tariff
which shall at the same 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 lculaled lhwart the wishes of
the friends of this much needed measure and to en-
danger the true interests of New England
Resoped, That it lis the policy OF the Conservatives
to resist equally The urasms of the Wing party and
the radicalisms of the Loco Focos; both are
equally obnoxious as liberal and ant-democratc,
and both are injurious to the best interests of the
people.
Resolped, That recognise as Conservatives,
those who are willing to sustain the Administration
of John IyleT-those who bore the name and sus-
tanned the character of Harrison and democratic
Wings before the Presidential electlon-those who
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 that we invite all such to unite
with us in the support of Conservative Adminlsra-
ton State Ticket.
Resolped, That we have full confidence in the in
tegrty, ability and political principles of the gentle
men on the Conservative Ticket, for State officers
nominated this day, and that we will use all honorable
means TO secure their election.
The Address and Resolutions were warmly re-
sponded to by several gentlemen, and after the trans
action of some other business,
On motion, the Convention adjourned to half past
