From The Hartford (Ct) Patriot and Eagle
CONSERVATIVE MEETING.

| A large and spirited meeting of the Conservatives
! and Administration Wings held at Gilman
Hall, Friday evening the LIST instant al when %
PRArT, Esq, officialed as Chairman, and Charles
j. Gilbert and Henry +. Gardner, acted as Secreta-
| ries
Phelps, Esq, of Manchester, present and among
others, addressed the meeting in an able manner.
The following resolutions were discussed and
passed unanimously -
| Resolped, That the Conservatives and Democratic
Wings, upon uniting with the opponents of such
measures OF the Administrations of General Jackson
| and Mr.. Van Buren, they considered unconsiitu-
tiona and dangerous, never intended to abandon The
principles of the old Republican party as taught by
that Apostle OF Liberty" Thomas Jefferson that
they did not then FORM and that they have not since
in any way, directly indirectly, Consented TO form,
| an incorporate union with federalism.
J Resotred, That the present leaders of the IRA
Wing party have right To expect assistance in
carrying out any Federal measure in the State or
General Government, the object for which we com
bined having been attained in the establishment OF a
Democratic Administration which meets Our cordial
appreciation, and their unmeasured reprobaon.
Resolved, That in many OF the appointments to
office in Connecticut, too much of Federal influence
has been manifested, which satisfied may be
attributed to receptions pracsed upon The Admins
tration at Washington by their most determined
mics under the garb of friendship. But we rejoice
in believing that such acts have been detected in
longer prevail
Resoired, That in John Tyler recognize ali
Independent Republican, aiming solely at the good of
the whole country, unramnelled by party pledges,
distinctions or Objects, aud adherlng strictly TO the
principles of the Constiu ton. We approve his Ad-
mnstration, and fully accord in the measures pr :
posed in his late able Message 10 Congress We
have witnessed with pain and deep regret the unpro-
voked and cruel attacks made upon him in the Ma
tional Legislature by prominent men OF the " hlg
| NIB, tha ss.lant, al
| election with entire knowledge of political views
and chai and who oppose his best efforts tor
the relief of suffering People, because he refuses TO
sacrifice his conscience Consistency and udg mt up
the altar of their will for the purpose OF their ag
| grandizement and the accomplishment of his own
ruin; while we cannot too highly recommend the
manly and patriotic ofihos who have sustained
and vndlcaed him.
| Resoired, That are constrained to condemn the
OF many OF the leading Wings and their presses
in Connecticut, in lending their aid to circulate ca
lumnies against Mr. Tyler, and to embarrass his
Administration; and we unequivocay protest against
that part Of the late Fast Proclamation OF Governor
Elsw orh, which throws the whole subject of slavery
into the pulpit for clerical denunciaton, insi-
dious attack upon the moral and Christian character
of the President, who is named in it, in such man
to show that the Gubernatorlal maedction had
| its object.
| Resoped, That towards liberal men of all parties,
we entertain the kindest feelings and in opposition
to radcasm and party dictation, we make common
| cause with them. :#
Among many reasons for our distinct organization
at this time, the following may be briefly stated -
We cannot adopt the Wing State ticket because
we DO not find upon It open and avowed friend of
President Tyler and his Administration.
Because, his declared trends, 1t would be alike
inconsistent with our professions and his political in
terests President, to be identified with those whose
doubtful position at BEST renders them danger
Gus than could their open hostility.
Because, we deprecate the REASONABLE Vaccinations
of the Abollionst, and cannot therefore support for
Governor the candidate who could court them, for
| any nominee who assisted in their attempt to strike
from the Constitution the word white" and thus
degrade the white in Connecticut to level with
the negro
Reso rcd, That the election of lS40 has resulted
in much good that the of the present Admins
tration have been such aled for by that cleo
ton; that the reports of the several Secretaries have
e>inced Zeal, industry and ability not surpassed
and that The foreign correspondence of the STATE De-
parment, while II attracts the admir- alton of Europe,
affords just cause of exuItation to every American
who feels pride in the elevation Of National
| chaIacer; and that nothing but the operation Of
Congress with the President and his Cabinet is re-
qured for speedy relief from the embarrassments of
the Government and the dlsresses of the People.
