sound currency on specie basis, currency whici
would be as good in place as another, and when
would restore confidence and this desirable object ht
thought might be reached by the adoption Of the Ex
chequer Bill After some complimentary remarks up
on The administration of President Tyler, he gave
way TO
Samuel Rush. Esq who offered series of resou.
tons, which we've in substance as follows
That on important occasions, or in any crisis, the
people should assemble to express their sentiments
freely that although party association for the yind
cation of principles, or accomplishment of measures
was at times necessary-yet there are periods when
the public good demands the union OF the people
and that looking to the general depression and the
embarrassed resources Of the Government and the
States, such crisis now existed. That Banl
of the United States and sub-Treasury have botf
become impracticable because opposed by MAORI
ty Of the people, and that the Exchequer Bill IS
measure upon which all parties can unite without
surrender of constitutional scruples or cherished
opinions; and that immediate action should be hae
upon it. That the administration OF President lylei
deserves a warm and united support-his principles
being such as to reflect honor upon the people, ant
his past career his greatest deience-his stronges
eulogy That there be gradual but safe Legislation
in our State so that our banks be placed on bash
secure from further suspension That we commend
the foreign policy of the President and deprecate thu
capricious repeal of the Bankrupt law. That we re
ioce to know that party be found to adopt thu
violation of plighted faith as an item in its polltca
creed and that we will sustain President Tyler ant
believe that his course has been such as to fully re
deem the pledge of his talented predecessor.
MIR. Rush followed up the Offering OF the resolu
tons with some very neat remarks upon the senti
ments they contained and applicable to the occasion
but was several times interrupted by persons thu
door, who seemed inclined to disturb the order Of tho
meeting. Mr.. Rush having resumed his scat, the
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Mr.. James Gregory then rose and offered resolu
ton in its tone highly complimentary to the senti
ments imbodied in the late message of Gov. Porter
1t was adopted by reclamation.
Col. Smith also offered resolution relative to thu
contemplated tax upon Coal in this State, but it wa
Immediately withdrawn, it not being within the regu
lar province of the meeting.
At this period some calls were made for speakers
but there appearing to be those in the who wer
evidently DESTROYS of creating confusion, motion
was made and carried that the meeting adjourn.
