elections.

great State interest in popular gov

Resolved, That we firmly believe
the above principles would have tri-
umphed. and the country been restor-
ed to prosperity. had it pleased Progi-
dence to have spared he life of the
great and good man, who was elected
our Chief Magistrate in 1916: but we
are compelled 10 acknowledge that the
now acting President of the United
States, though elected as a Wing by
the Wing Party, has assumed an atti-
tude of hostility to all the measures of
that party, and that 1t is in vain to
look TO him for aid in carrying out
these principles and measures, for
which we have for twelve long years
so ardently and so zealously contend.

Resolved, That The noble and pa
triotic band Of true Wings in Congress,
who manfuliy and firmly withstood
and tiumphautIy repeIled the encroach.
ments of the Executive, deserve and
will receive the heartfelt congratula.

Resolved, That although nature and
art have combined to render us the
most prosperous and happy people
upon the face Of the earth; yet through
the instrumeniality of corrupt and un-
scrupulous politicians the very diver
sity of ntsand productions that were
intended, by the God of nature, each
to minister to the deficiencies Of the
rest, and to unite and bind US togeth
er-are used to distract and divide us,
and thereby inhict upon US unsuhera-
hle misery and distress.
Resolved, That, in censuring the
acting President, the course of the
Loco Foco Party in Congress ought not
to escape the ust indignation of the
people-that regardless of their oath
and duty, they have combined against
the wants and sutlerings Of the coun-
try, and, in defiance and contempt of
the popular will, united with Irai-
tor President, and formed such COM
binatien as has rendered it impossible
for the Wing members Of Congress to
carry out those great ard sound prin-
ciples of conmon good, for which the
party contended, and which received
the appreciation of an overwhelming
majority Of the People.
Resolved, That we appeal with
confidence TO every honest and impair
tialmind whether every Wing measure,
be it Tarih-be it Distributions it
Apportionment-be it Retrenchment
and Reform-has not been supported,
unRinchingly, by the Wing party in
Congress, never yielding one jot of the
principles upon which they were elect

Resolved, That the "unnatural con-
nection" between the Land Bill and
the Tariff, was brought about by the
influence of John Tyler, and voted for

Wings, and this weak, vascillating and
faithless Executive, insults the party,
whose principles he has abandoned, by
vetoing the Revenue Bill, because this
conHeXion exists.
Resolved, That although we hold
the principle of DISTRIBUTION sacred,
yet the unparalleled safierings and dis
tress of the people may make il expe-
dent to secure Tariff by the sus.
pension of the distribution until 1874,
when our great Champion will take

can safely conide our political princi-
