ued by the majority in Congress at the present and
extra session, designed to thwart the wishes and ex-
pecations of the people and utterly negectng to adt
such measures as would tend to benefit our common
country and bring relief TO the people, lie at the

sIiutons and measures which would prove a curse
upon both and Whereas their whole time has been
wasted in the vain attempt drive the Executive of
I.h IInrnn rnfn tha
schemes, and warning with the best interest," OF the
Republic, in order To place in the Executive chair
their ambitious leader, therefore
Resolved That will cast aside all personal pre-
elections and act solely for country, aud are

institution.
Resolved, That the President in vETolNG two bills
for charte1ng National Bank at the extra sess on,
deserves the gratitude of the American people his
| manly irmness in staying those corrupt measur s.
proved him to be beyond the reach of the threats Of
his encies and above the fulsome fattery Of his pre-
| tended friends.
| Resolved, That his opponents in bringing forward
|
disregard of public opinion, while the Executive in
his recog nzed The will of the people, and In
rei,erating his belief of the uncons'! uonalhy of the
measures Of AMBITIOUS men, he has proved himself 10
be possessed of tie patriotism, actuaei and guided ny
the principles whi.h have ruled the action OF the
| great Democratic family.
Resolved, That in his late veto upon the cunningly
devised Tariff BILL accompanied with distribution, he
has again given evidence of his Underwriting pat lot
ism and purity of motives in shielding the people from
the deep laid plans of bad men, and nipplng- IN the

candidate for the Presidency but ready and will
ling deemng it the beunden duty of every Republic
cam while he stands the acknowledged head of the
Union, to give to the Executive firm, fair and con-
support tn all his measures and his acts that
are Democr attic in their nature and calculated to
benefit our country at large.
Resolved, That the present Whig majority IN Con-
gress have proved themselves utterly unworthy the
| places they occupy They have forfeited every pledge,
broken every promise made the people, and with
an overwhelming majority, and after an unpIecedeht-
ed session of ten months, at an enormous expense TO
the country, they have done literally nothing for the
benefit of suffering people, but left them without
| hope, and bordering on despair.
| Resolved, That in the withdrawal from the Senate
of Henry Clay, recognize the movement OF an
| ambitious politician and although in retirement with
in the shades of Ashland, his turbulent spirit
moves and his will guides his adherents at the capitol
and in their endeavors to head the President, and
elevate their oft rejected favorile to the Executive
chair they forget the duties they to the country
and are ready sacrifice her best interests, and en-
danger the country itself to crafty their unhoy am
| bitlon.
Resolved, That we are in favor of tariff for reve-
nue. sufficient to supply the necessary wants OF Inc
| Government; and the wicked attempts OF the maJ"rl-
ty by system Of chicanery, secret caucusses, ana
open bargaining, better known as logrolng, to force
through some obnoxious measure, by fastening the
same upon bill for revenue, deserves and WIN re-
ceive the condemnation of every true Irleu OF HE
country. 49,

iory in Congress- if they possessed OF a single
particle of the patriotism they have 30 iouuy pro-
fesscdf they have any desire to arrest the Govern

feeling or regard for the thousands, who through
their neglect provide the means have been deprived
of employment, and flung upon a cold aud hearilsss
world in many instances deprived OF food or theh-
selves and shelter for their families they VIII al once
and without delay pass revenue Dill suIncient 10
meet the wants Of the Government, and e"able 1t to
satisfy AZ once all lust demands which may DC iDaue
upon the Treasury.
Resolved That If the partsans Of Henry Clay dread
the veto power let them pass thei revenue bill as a
distinct and separate measure, and thus prevent the
necessity for its employment. Or II they desire TO
make capital out of It's frequent by denouncing
as the one man power" or to the feelings and
opinions of the President, we call upon them 10 pass
their favoe bill for distributing the proceeds derived
from the sale of The public lands in distinct and Sc
palate form, and we willing TO leave the result
with the Executive and the people.
