 The object of the meeting was explained by John M. Ross; whefeupon James Holt nominated JOHN NJ. Ross as delegate to attend the State Convention, which nomina- ton was unanimously concured in by the meeting.
 John M. Ross submitted the following pre- amble and resolutions, which were adopted, unanimously
 Whereas, the time is fast Approaching when the Democratic party of Arkansas will be called on to cast their votes for Governor and a member to represent them in the next Con- gress of the United States. And whereas anioa and Harmony among them are essential to insure them a complete triumph. Therefore
 ReSolred, That we highly approve of the plan of holding State Convention at Little Rock, for the nomination of candidate for Governor, member of Congress, three Elec- tors for President and Vice President, and three delegates to attend the National Con- vention to be held at Baltimore in May next, for nominating democratic candidates for President and Vice President
 Resolred, That we ask of the next Le- gislature fair and impartial investigation of the charges alleged against the Hon. A. H. Sevier, in regard to his conduct as Commis- sioner to sell the bonds of the Real Estate Bank; if lsa hos hsen guilty of any thing dishonorable, it should be known; if not, he should be sustained by the Democracy of Ar kansas, for he has well sustained their prin- ciples in the Senate oi tie Unlted States.- We cannot condemn faithful public servant without sufficient evidence.
 Resohed, That believing as we do that the vital interests of our country are identified with the promotion and success of our prin- ciples, we will manfully and unremittingly battle against our old Federal foes in whatev- CT character rgarb they may choose to meet us, whether as the < Cogp5oys22 of 1778, the " Alien and Sedition zac pariy' of 1798, the no party of 1921, or the hard cider, log cabin and coonskin dcbuHcbGes of 1840
 Resolred, That the interests of the Ame- rican people call aloud for the restoration of democratic principles in the administration of the affairs of the General Government, and the restoration of sound democrats to places of public trust, from which they were hurl- ed by the disgraceul hard-cider and coonskin revelres-the pledges made but to be broken -the machinations and falsehoods of drunk en, besotted, inluriated federalists of 1840.
 ReSolued, That we view those two cardinal measures of the Federal party, to-wit, a Na- tional Bank and high Protective Tariff, as unconstitutional, impolitic and dangerous the one Gin the language of Daniel Webster, :. .an obsofete idea,o the other, as demonstra- ted in 1916, when first introduced into the American Congress, ameasure of :. abomjaa- hoaS,2 as calculated in its unequal operation 10 benefit the monopolist at the expense of the mass of the people, !" 10 s5arre dtc many Mat t4e feae may bs smrfeited.D
 Resolred, That we regard the measures of Henry Clay, as proposed by his premier, Vim Cost Johnson, for the assumption of the debts of the States by the General Govern ment to the amount of S200,000000, by the | issue of stocks to the indebted States, dange- rous as a precedent, and disastrous in its ef- fects, by saddling upon the General Govern ment that greatest of all blessings, in the es- timation of the federalists, a national debt.
 ReSolred, That we have undiminished con fdeaee a te integrity, asils :ss,, ;taass i,;,i; tical sagacity of MARTIN VAN BuRKN, and | that, as he was defeated ih lS40 by the pre- pagation of the loulest falsehoods and mis- in regard to his adminstra- ton of the general government, that were ever illuminated in any political contest, we deem 1t an act of justice that the Democra- cy should vindicate him and his administra- ton, by sustaining him for the Presidency in IS44, ant that he Is therefore our first choice fog that high and responsible station, subject to the decision of Democratic National Convention.
 Resolped, That in the capacity, political integrity, and sound democracy of lion. A. II. sevier, WHs. s. Falto9af7ol Edward Cross, we have entire confidence, and highly ap- prove of their course in the Congress of the United States. They are entitled to the thanks of the whole people of Arkansas.
 Moved by John M Ross, and adopted by the meeting, that the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the president and secre- tary, and published in the Arkansas Banner.
