Venlion Tor President OF The United States.
we heard them prociaiming that the Ex-
eculiye exercised powers superior to those
vested in the hands Of European Kings.
We ask the question. since they complain
so very much, have they. in The number
Of months since ihey have been in power,
brought forward one single proposition TO

dy; the Executive assuming The power TO
suppress the people OF Rhode Island in
their righteous struggle for consultation.
We also have The opinion Of The late
William Henry Harrison against Na-
tional Bank; and for proof OF this fact we
refer 10 the speech Of the honorable gem
ileman, Hhisker Badger Of Wake. deli
yered IN The county Of Granville in the
year 1910. We now hear these same
lodging politicians prearhipg to the peo.
pie. that II Harrison had lived 70 admins
Ter the government in log cabin style, for
six short months, the country would be
flooded with national bank notes. View
the contrast, and see what consistency
We also heard these bankiies, cideriies
and log-cabiniies, preaching economy, re-
form, and reirenchmeni, and 10 prove 10
sou their honesty in carrying out their
promises, they hare given TO rich wild

House, in addition 10 The furniture, for
which they abused Mr.. Van Buren, so We
~ much; in fact his was one Of the
prime causes why they turned him out
Of Office. They furthermore paid Mr..
Tyler something ike $4,000; these
amounts are considered now TO be very
small by the Wings; yet, when added
they amount TO about SIS, 900, which, as
all will see, has been paid for President:
10 administer the Government for one
year only. They have borrowed money
until they have sunk the credit Of the
United States.
We were furthermore promised BY
these hard-cidcriles that they would pro
scribe prescription, Have they done ID
No! But they have hurled from Office
thousands Of good and faithful servants
for opinions sake, and supplied their va
cancies By appointing, according 10 pri
yaie promise, those self.styled decen
Wings, who went about Growing lik,
chickens. bowling like dogs, and below
ing like bulls.
Out Of twenty-seyen appointments
made BY The last Legislature and in tn,
state, not ore single Democrat was taken
| /. Resolved, That we approve Of thu
Democratic Convention 10 be held a
Hillsborough on Tuesday Of May Court
10 nominate suitable candidates 10 run on
the Democratic Republican Ticket, fol-
seats in the Senate and House Of Com
mons of the next General Assembly o.

3. Resolved, That the chairman ap'
point fourteen delegates to represent the
people of Capt. Haryey's District in SAID
Convention.
3. Resolved, That the $4,000 and up,
wards Of the peoples money, illegally
drawn from the treasury by the late Gov,
Dudley, was a violation Of his oath and
deserves the just condemnation Of all ho-
nest men, who love their country and its
rights. a@
4. Resolved, That crisis has arrived
when we should, as free and indepen-
dent people, not only diligently watch
over our public officers, but when they
violate laws and we the people are to sus-
tain loss hy such violation, we should,
as freemen, come out fearlessly and de-
nounce them as traitors to the country
and demand a restoration Of said loss,
This plan and this alone will, we believe,
be sovereign remedy, and we call upon
our Democratic brethren in the different
parts of this state, TO think of this matter,
and should their views upon mature deli
beration acquiesce with ours, we are rea.
dy at a moment's warning TO proceed
against any and all such violations Of lrus,
by public officers Of our state.
5. Resolved, That we condemn the ex.
ample set by Gov. Morehead in building
an Ice House at the expense of the people,
and at time when it can only be had a,
the expense Of importing it some hundreds
of miles. This kind Of whig" summer
comiortables is certainly incompatible
