ADMINISTRATION MEETING.

At meeting of citizens of Monroe County, New
York, friendly to the present Administration Of the
General Government, held at Carroll Hail. in the city
following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That the result of the recent election in
Western New York, is satisfactory evidence that
there is a respectable number, among warm po-
ltca partisans, who true to the country and their
chosen officers and that are highly gratfed with
such evidence of the independence and intelligence of
our fellow-citizens.
Resolved, That the causes of the reduction of the
large Wing maorities in this portion of the State,
are obvious to those who are not wfuy blind and
among them are
L. The discovery of determination among the
Wing leaders in Congress to force the establishment
of National Bank.
g. The abandonment of the Wing representatives
in Congress Of their appropriate duties to the coun-
try the neglect Of judcious legislation for partisan
intrigue to settle the succession to the Presidency.
g. The attempt TO dictate to the Executive to con-
troll his constitutional functions, and to trample upon
his constitutional rights,
A. The wanton, undeserved, impolitic, and unjust
attempts TO degrade the Executive elected by the
people with a view to the elevation of another
s. The apparent determination to abandon the es-
sental interests of the country unless the Wing lead
ers could the assent of the President to mea
sure which his judgment and sense of duty did not
approve.
All of which acts, and others not enumerated i'm
paired the confidence of the public in the majority of
Congress chosen by themselves and led them to the
conviction that they are no longer worthy of trust
Resolved, That the great change in the vote of Wes
tern New York is at once merited rebuke to I'M
faithful public servants and gratifying approval of
the conduct of the President under trying and diff
cult circumstances.
Resolved That we also in such result re-
buke of the faction who would force Mr.. Clay upon
the country as its candidate for the Presidency.
R.solred That while Mr.. Clay advocacy Of Ma
tional Bank and his unjust abuse of the President have
elected such evidence of popular dsapprobation, we
DO not, therefore, infer approval OF Mr. Van Bu-
rem and his Sub Treasury and that while we desire
to see restored sound currency, do not expectto
realize that desirable result either through Mr..
N.,.~s~-i f-rrur-'v Irrovs Of the Administration of
the Executive in his objections to a Sub-Treasurv in
his vetoes of a National Bank and in his recommen-
daiion of an Exchequer plan; and when we find that
he has added glory and secured peace the country
by a most favorable treaty with Great Britain, and
administered the Government honestly, ably and
wisely we see no reason to withhold our support of
his measures, or the expressions Of confidence in his
charact and administration
Resoiped, That we, as citizens of Western New
York. do tender TO the Hon. John c. Spencer our ac-
acknowledgements for his ready and most convincing re-
ply to the communication of the committee of this
county, and we do earnestly recommend that able
document TO the consideration Of the candid of all
parties.
Resolved, That, IN view of this whole subject, we
call upon our ieowctlzens at large to unite with us
in urging upon Congress that they lay aside party dis
sensions, and all efforts at Presdent-making, and
harmonise in efforts for the public wants and in those
measures which shall be calculated to redeem the
country from its present endorsements by wise,
prudent, and constitutional course of legislation.
ReSored, That we invite our fellow citizens to aid
in advancing these results by directions to their Re
representatives. from public meetings held for such
object.
Resoired, That these proceedings be signed by the
officers of this meeting and published.
JOSEPH STRONG, President
