II III r MI A DISONIA N.
THE SYRACUSE RESOLUTIONS.

the New Yolk State Convention which me-
last week at Syracuse, no, only rejected the Dis
tricl System of elecling delegates to the Naliona
Convention, bat absolutely proceeded 10 appoint
and did appoint, lhirtysix delegates TO repre-
sent the Democracy of that Stale in the Ball
more Convention. We also stated and truly
that these delegates were instructed and 4lfech
ed 10 vote for Mr.. VAN buren,, aQss4QlHsa. 81
honorable means to secure his notfifh5Hdss
To-day we copy the resolutions adopted by
the Convention. These resolutions, adopted by
mrn met together in convention, for the pur-
pose of Recommending Mr.. Van Buren, for nomi
nation by The National Convention TO meet in
May next at Baltimore, as the Democratic C NJ
didate for the Presidency-lhese resolutions
we say, considering that they were ADOPTED by
such men, convened fer such purpose, and at a
time when the Globe assumes to lead the Whole
mighty party, and is daily pouring two columns
of unmiligated abuse On the devoted head of
the Presidtnt-are, we think, UNExcEProNABLE.
Thy are precisely such as we were led from
circumstances, to expect from such an enlight-
entd body, and we frankly confess our admira-
ton Of them, They contain no hostile thrusis
at the Presid cnt-hence the Globe has NOT a
word to say in their praise. They manifest an
earnest and ardent desire to al disallt ctions
and allav disst ntions-hence the Globe has not
even alluded to them editorially. They mani
f st a determination to win success for the
cause-hence The Globe, trembling for the fate
OF its pocket, embl aces every opportunity to as
sist MIR. Clay in his war against This Admiuis-
t.aion.
The resolutions are admirably Wi ten none
were ever more perfect in point OF style and
temper; and the finished thoughts they express
must have emanated from master mind
There is not an expression in them, designed,
(should Mr. Ty Ter not be The candidalc,) to
drive his fiends into the Clay ranks. Ga the
contrary they most elftctualy r, buke the
insane declaration of the Gil, be, that "ir the
friends Of this AID nhistration were permitted
to rally under the banner Of The Republican can
didate, hundreds of thousands of Democrats
woul fold their arms, and suffer the Govern
m, nj to fall into the hand of ultra Federalism
We understand that neither Mr.. Davis nor
any other leading member Of the Convention,
LET fall an iniinaion that Col. Benton was to
be the successor Of MIR. Van Buren,. May not
this fact account for the Glob,'s omlnous ST.
lence? Something or oher in the proceedings
has seriously offended the Globe, and il dis
charges lis concentrated magnity on the Adj
minsration. Does it really fear that if MIR.
Van Buren, should not get the nomination, his
f lends might "a ly on Mr.. Tyler in The Con-
vention Its mind, we think, would have been
more al Ease, if there had been nius,d into the
Syracuse Re olu,ions some Of lis own dogmati-
cal abuse of OLD VETO.
SO far from any thing OF the kind, the princi-
pies contained in t! third resolution are iden-
teal with President Tyler's--with those at The
head of our column.
Resoired That we retaia undiminshed opposition
10 Federal measures and principles IN every form
ard under every name. We are opposed to ma
tinnal bank-to a large army or navy-to prohibi-
tive S, stem Of duties-to the assumption OF state
debts-to the distribution OF the land moneys, and to
an exiravagant and costly administration OF tn. Ge-
nerIl Government while we approve and will sup
port an economical and retrenching system Gf ex-
pense-a moderate and reduced naval and military
establishment in peace-a divorce Of the money
power from the political power-an independent
ireasury-a tariff founded on principles, and
wisely discriminating for the encouragement of labor
in agriculture, commerce. and manutactures-anI a
policy of Government fostering State authorities in
ternal peace and tranquility, aud independent OF all
foreign influence and control.
"An independent treasury" i, not he sub
treasury. We go for it-so does the Presiden'
as it will be seen hereafter.
The Tariff views are peculiarly our own
And so With the rest
The following expressions in the ccond reso
luton contain anything but al use of President
Tyler. "The recovery and return of the coun-
try TO confidence in Democratic measures and
Democratic men, since Federalism swept Over
the land" land was) "bu, too Xix ly 10 fa,tcn
upon US and our postcrily the caamtlcs Of mo-
ncyed power" &c. The democratic me a.
sures" were the VEroEs, and President Tyler
the Democratic man" who avered The sea
llmities."
These illusions TO the acts Of the resident
by the Syracuse Convention, must be exceed
ingly annoying to the Globe They are Ger.
tainly gratifying TO US. They prove that not
withslaudipg all the Globes abuse Of the Presi.
dent, the great Democratic party will not soon
forget that it was the tctoeS which save them
and the country in most critical time Of need.
1t is true Mr. Tyle's name is not mentioned
in the resolutons-nether is the name Of John
son, Buchanan, Cass, Calhoun The course OF
the Globe is not approved, nor the Mddisonian
denounced
N. b. The Treaty Of Washington is not de-
nounced, nor the appointment OF Democrats lc
Office III!
