The president (Mr Jackson) then addressed the
meeting, and stated the purpose for which was call
ed viz carry out the highly honorable course pur
sued by the President, John Tyler,D and to sustain
him in his acts 1t was not meeting called Tor the
purpose of making President, but 1t was Tor the
purpose of expressing their decided opposition to the
measures attempted to be carried out by the "Fede-
raj Wings
Mr.. Michael Walsh then read the following
lutions, which received and adopted with acca
nation
Resolved, Tha, the sound republican views and
manly firmness of President Tyler in promptly veto
ing two essve attempts To again burden and plum
der the country with National Bank, and to squan-
der the public land among spectators while reve-
IS needed to carry on the Government and main
tain its honor ente him to the respect and gratitude
of every true democrat, and that we should be un-
worthy of the name if we suffered any narrow mind
ed prejudces, the influence of any selfish dctato-
Iial cliques to prevent from doing this justice at
once to him and ourselves.
Resolved, That the political sentiments of the Pre-
sldent, expressed In his veto messages In
cordance with the great Democrat principles by
which the party to which we belong has always been
governed ami that IN re'usiny his assent to scheme
of legislation based upon the principles of the old fed
erai party, he has rescued the country from measures
subversve of equal lights and general prosperity
sures such nobly resisted by the people forty
years ago, the election of Thos Jefferson and such
must be resisted, if we would preserve ber-
ties and form of Government.
Resolved, That in firmly pursuing this course, he
has the respect of all democratic republicans, for
heightened craftsmanship, decision of character and
Executive fidelity.
Resolved, That the reasons which he has assigned
for his last great act, sound, iorcibe and
swerable; credtabe alike TO his intellect and his
publican heart.
Resolved, That in the systematic and implacable
opposition to President Tyler which has been main
tanned in Congress through two successive and pro-
tracted sessions we detect not leg itimae and home
rabe opposition, but that of faction and conspiracy
once detestable in motive and dangerous in n
dency
Resolved, That in egislating under the ''iron rule
of secret pledges excluding freedom of debate
anddeaf to the demands of reason, conscience, and
the country, the federal majority In congress mas
prosuted the high functions of the general legisla
ture forfeited its trust and incurred the inevitable
probation of the people.
Resolved, That in this conduct observe base
and dastardy attempt to usurp and control the func
tons of the Executive department under the casualty
of constitutional succession to the Presidency which
should have specially called forth the generous devo
ton of every noble mind to sustain the incumbent
10 the independent and fearless performance of his
duties.

ents, which brought and reiterated against Presi
dent Tyler, false and uniounded and apIlica-
BILE only to those who make them. That in vetolng
National Bank he adhered the previous course of
his public and recorded life while the federal wings
in urging upon him, violated their repeated assn
RANGES that National Bank not an object of the
election in which he chosen, and thus, in all
other respects, guilty of broad and shameless
ueachery to the people.
Resolved, That the veto power as exercised by
President Tyler and under the plots conspracies,
and usurpations which have called 1t forth greatly
enhanced in our estimation, as wise preventive prn-
cple in our form of Government; power not abso-
Lutte because reversible by reasonable majority of the
representatives of the people and not monarchca but
purely democratic because entrusted only to tempo
rary representative of the greatest number of the
people.
Resolved, That while we deprecae as anti-repub-
and demorallzng the present premature efforts of
the federal whig party President making should
not, and will not be restrained from expressing
cordial sentiments of appreciation towards President
Tyler for his democratic acts, by any jealousy of
clques, even OF our own party, who, from whatever
motives, may have become involved in the same per-
nicious course Therefore,
Resolved, That will freely and openly sustain
President Tyler in proportion be sus,ains prn
cipes and conceive it incumbent all the true
democrats of the country thus to prove their attach
ment to principles as well as TO men.
AT this moment piece of artillery sounded loud
discharge and then loud huzzas proclaimed the
of the meeting and their appreciation of the resolu
tons offered.
A resolution was then offered and read to the meet
ing to the effect that the proceedings of this meet
ing be forwarded TO the President OF the United
States.
A call was here made for Messrs. Walsh and Sha-
le when the latter appeared and addressed the meet
ing amid deaienng cheers.
Mr.. William Shaer, in addressing the multitude,
asked their indulgence he Unexpectedly called
upon and they, therefore, could not expect from him
oag speech. He mainly stated that the Democracy
called upon to support the measures of Mr.. ~
ler President who although elected by the "Whigs,'
