The object of the meeting having been stated W
Martin Ryerson, Esq, it was, on his notion
Rsolred That a committee of three persons NC
appointed to draft resolutions expressive Oh '"'
OF this meeting. "a nh |
Martin Ryerson, William T. Anderson, ana r Hoo
ert II. McCarter Esqs were aPPo'''u " '''o
a committee for that purpose.
The committee havidg retired, IN short Tune re-
nrned and Martin Ryerson, Esq, IN their behalf re-
ported the following resolutions whieh having oeeh
read separately, we're unanimously adopted vn'
p..o,r,a That the President Of the United States
deserves the thanks of every good citizen for reius
in. hs assent to the unwse and unconstitutional e-
g;ation of the Federal majority in Congress that
ye admire the integrity and hrmness which have
thus far withstood the demagogues and mous'ng
uoIiticinas'-the Bolts and Stanys both IN and Out
of Congress. The partisan presses OF lhe COUNTY,
the Webbs and Weeds, ct u genus one, IN their most
unpr ncipled attempts to drive HIM from what ne
considered the path of honor and constitutional Duty
that we recognise in his official acts the hrmness OF
the old Roman who made the veto power SO popular
and we hereby promise to him hearty support OF
ali such measures of his Administration as may not
be inconsistent with the Democratic creed
Re,otved, That we consider judcious tariff, one
imposed for necessary revenue and al the same time
discriminating in favor OF our agricultural anu manu-
featuring interests as essential TO the prosperity OF
the country and we earnestly call upon our Senators
and in Congress not TO consent TO an
adjournment without the passage Of such DILL un-
trammelled with the question Of land Distribution.
~ n Tho Easla Ina irrt
in Congress in forcing upon the President for his APP
prevail law uniting the questions oil tari ana dis,
tribution in oppostion To his known and ayowed
principles manifests determination ON their part to
sacrifice the interests OF the country to the Pohuca
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Mr.. Clay, by keeping the tarif
question an open one with the hope OF using It to car
nv him into the Presidential Chair, but we warn them
TO beware how they sacrifice the country 70 party e
almost starving mechanic to the dictator Of the West
they will be overwhelmed by burst of honest indg
nation from every workshop in the land the day has
gone by when Wing promises, political or pecunlary
will pass for current coin, and the country now calls
upon their party to fulfil the promises Of 1910
Resolved That, in opinion the safety Of our In
situations depends upon restraining the action Of the
Federal Government within its proper limits and re-
sistng every attempt upon its part to encroach upon
State Rights or to dictate to the States their manner
of legislation, and we view with feelings OF alarm
that part Of the Apportionment bill just passed by
Congress which attempts to prescribe to the States
the manner in which they shall exercise their right of
choosing Representatives in Congress; look upon
il as an arbitrary and unconstitutional act OF egsa-
tion not petitiOned asked for by single individual
out of Congress, and which, If submitted to,
will in the end, change whole frame of Govern
ment, destroy State Rights and bring the States
themselves humble vassas at the foot OF consOida-
ted Federal Government.
Resolved, That consider the bill which has just
passed the House of Representatives, directing the
manner of organising that body in future, as still
obnoxious than the Apportionment bill to the
charge ofimproper interference with the rights OF the
States that State which has any sefrespect, any
veneraton for the memory of Jefferson or Madison,
should for moment countenance in theory or prac-
tice and in view of the objections to the principle OF
the bill and of the alarming lisons that may arise
between the General and State Governments, in ccse
it should become law, we respectfully yet earnestly
request the President withhold his assent from IT,
and again place himself shield between the Con-
sutOn and that faction in Congress now seeking TO
trample it in the dust.
1t was then, on notion RESOLVED, That "A dele
