following, which were discussed by Nlessrs. Ly
man, Walton, Vail, Carpenter, Dewey and Up
ham, and unanimously adopted.
Resolred, Tint though it has been vuunlngly
proclaimed by Il few men claiming 10 be " tue de-
nocracy of Washington county in Convention
assembled," that their opponents are continually
adopting and dlscnrdins projects as they conceive
they may gain votes, "-wev venture 10 affirm that,
as Que portion OF "lheir opponents" we do now,
us We have heretofore done, seadiastly hold 10 the
true Republican policy-A Protective Tariff, II
sound National Currency, the Distribution q! the
proceeds oil The Public l.uhds aud government
economically administered aud honestly seeking
to advance The Interests OF The people.
RESOLVED, That 10y n" Protective Tariff" sc do
not mean the luinOus Free Trade policy openly
ayowed by MIR. Culhoun-nOt the mere Rerenue
I'riE doubliully suggested Ivy Mr.. Van Buren, us
possibly 10 be acqnIesced in until The country is
prepared for Dnect Ioration and mol the dubi.
Gus discriminating IariD, such is prolessedly
favored by hessrs. BuclIuuar. johnson and CusS.
While the leaders OF our oppuncn.S are cruising
NUrh aud South Tor support under all these va
rio,s hugs, and 10y holding out SO many "projecls'
conciuswey show that they are unworthy OF be-
Ing trusted by any body. we adhere 10 The good
old Republican standard of Washington the Adj
amses, Jefferson, Madison and Monr0c--.4 Tariff
arranged tcih distinct reference 10 Protection, as
the source Of National Independence and iUeaLh.'
Resolved That the Increased activity OF ugri-
culture, manufactures and commerce. The largely
increased demand Tor our wOOl-tle vast dininli-
ton OF foreign lnposls, aud The corresponding
Increase OF our exports, which have resulted from
only eleven months existence of the new Tariff
all testify in favor Of HAT measure and that
wliie II undoubtedly las detects " llch will re-
quire correction, we, as consistent friends OF Pro
lection, cannot look 10 The representatives OF our
opponents for q remedy, so lOug as we remember
that all but Two OF Them voted with the enemies o
Protection, and that not even one was found IL
lift Il finger in delence Of the wool growers Of
New England.
Resolrtd, That by "a sound National Curren
= cy" we mean neither another brood of 500 ire
sponsbe banks, such us under The administration
OF our opponents literally covered the land Will
rngS-nor The hdrd money scheme, borrowed b,
MIR. Van Buren, from lie m0narchlsls of Europe

cenI lost by IL deprecinIed currency Is nucl
deucled from the reward OF labor, and confidln.
in The wisdom of such patriots us Washington
\ aud Madison, we would adopt their policy, nod
lied so as 10 avoid all possible evils, OF giving
National Currency, based upon specie, which
shall he OF equal value IN every market
