Resolutions offhe BaltimoreD democratic lyle
Convention, passed ON the erening Of III
20M December, 1S43.

Resolred, That this Convention, in common with a
large portion of the Democratic party, has viewed,
for long period, with feelings of sincere regret,
the one-sided course pursued by the Globe news.
paper at Washington, towards the candidates for the
Presidency in which a fair chance has not been given
to all the gentlemen named, course the more repre-
hensble because that paper is considered the chief
organ Of the party and therefore, is bound to go for
the party the whole party, and, and nothing but the
party.
.. R,solred To pass over its treatment Of other
favortes Of respectable portions of the Democracy,
that we regard its late and present abusive course
wards the Democratic Chief Magistrate of the coun-
try John Tyler, as disreputabe, inconsistent with
its former high concentrations Of that gentle
ann, his acts in every way unwarrantabe, un-
just, and impolitic inexplcabe in motive, and de-
structve of that union and harmony, which should be
fos,ered by every Democrat, and every Democratic
journal in the country.
3D. Resoued, That we would not now have noticed
said journals attacks, were ii not that the choice Of
its editors TO be Printers TO the House Of Representa-
ves seemed to US TO endorse and give importance TO
the unjust sentiments Of the Globe an act on the
part of members which think calls for an expres
sion of opinion least from the friends of the Pres
dent. And If is fair index OF the future course Of
members, and the Globe is TO be permitted to, and
paid with the Peoples money for its abuse will we
much fear tend to the disruption OF the party and the
defeat of the candidates of the National Democratic
Convention, a consequence for which the Globe and
its supporters viii, most assuredly, be held response
Bile.
a. Resolved, That we have full faith in the in,c
gence virtue, and gratitude Of the people, that they
will not permit one who has served them faithfully
and patroticay TO be forgotten, and that they viii
insist that the of JoHN TYLER be respected BY
all their agents, as that Of distinguished Demo
orat, raised in the motherland of States, sages
and statesmen, and educated in that high
school Of Jefersonian Republicanism, from whose
teachings he has never swerved and that, il no
minated by the Baltimore Convention, they vii
rally to his support with the enthusiasm due to
who has delivered them from Federal misrue, ar
enthusiasm due to him for the many services he ha.
rendered to his country, for his splendid abilities ant
his high public and private worth.
5th. Resolrtd, That the course Of this Convention
shall be to advance by all honorable the claims
Of JOHN TYLER to the Democratic nomination.
