And here II is pro- er 10 = mark, that the views Of
the President in reference 10 both these measures
tariff and distribution OF the proceeds Of the public
lands are emnentiy practical and judiclous, while
his anxious desire 20 procure safe national curren-

Legislature.
Wilh such a tariff for revenue would meet he
requirements Of the National Treasury ard give
curly 10 every branch OF industry, and With well
ad lusted system through the EXchequer Tor The col
lection and disbursement Of the public moneys, We
might reasonably anticipate resuseitation OF tho

Permit u.s. fellow citizens, in view Of the PREMISE,
and with full and entire confidence in the correct
ing influence OF that freedom OF sentiment so peculiar
TO our Institutions, TO call upon you FIR support 10

In all free countries and particularly IN our own,
there is invariabe tendency to ultrasn' Leaders
OF factions into romes TO accomplish their
bilious purposes One set Of them are destructive,
desirious TO overthrow all Institutions, and substitute
their own projects Of the moment for the malured
results of enlghed experience. Another set are
fearful of all change dread the influence of popular
sentiment, and would limit and control il by strength

cable and valuable 10y the most simple means. While
this policy has exposed him TO the assaults Of violent
men on both sides, who will doubtless cooperate,

should endear him still more strongly 10 the sober
and rejecting portion Of the country, who desire
ly IFS peace and prosperity without any great anxiety
respecting the men who are the instruments OF pro
ducing such resalts.
Weigh well the many qualities he possesses, which
fully eniille him to your highest confidence and

few remarks, offered The following outions which
were adopted with cheers
! Resoired, That in the various public stations to
which John Tyler, OF Virginia. has been elevated by
the People Of his native State and those of the ma
ton at large, he has invariably exhibited talents pa
! triotism and hrmness which eminently commend
him 10 the confidence and respect Of his ieowciti-
zens
Resolved, That the People being the only true
source Of power, we recognize that system of party
! organization which is best calculated to give force
and efficacy 10 their will and in this view we are in
| favor of Democratic Republican National Conven-
ton, which shall be composed Of delegates chosen in
the several congressional districts of the Union and
whose votes shall be cast individually in the COnyen-
/ ton.

organized III the manner aud held at the period be-
fore mentioned And we pledge ourselves TO use all
fair and honorable means 10 secure his election.
ResOred That since his elevation 10 the Presiden-
y,he has uniformly 81 stained the principles and
formed to the wellsetled opinions of the fathers Of
the great Republican party. That his firm resistance
to the enactment OF aw TO charter Bank Of the UNI
ted States, aud his satesman-l like views of the sub
jects which have been agtaed during the last two
years show him TO be the true friend 10 his country
the self-sacrihcing patriot-alone intent the
well-beng OF the nation-and the firm and consistent
advocate Of measures calculated confer the great
est good on the greatest number
Resoired That the settlement Of our differences
with Great Britain in terms alike honorable to both
nations, after proiracted and embarrassing coutro-
yersy which had been extended over than half
a century, has clearly demonstrated the tact sagacity
and talent OF President Tyler, while the successful
close of the harassiDg in Florida aud the
promplitude with which he has indicated our right,
whenever and wherever invaded constitute addition
al claims on the gratitude and respect of an ntei-
gent people.
RcsOired That the me ssage of the President IN re-
lnon to the construction OF the late treaty with
Great Britain the light of search is disng rshod
by so bd argument and lofty patriotism, and here

United States have exhibited marked disreg I'D Of
the rights and prerogatiye Of tie Executive of the
nation IN rejecting his nomination OF the Hon. Caleb
Gushing, as Secretary of the Treasury, and the Hon
Henry A. Wise, as Minister to France and we feel
assured that the American People will, in a signal
and emphatic manner rebuke this attempt to perse-
cute and embarrass the President and cast unmert
ed odium on two OF our most able and distinguished
statesmen.
Resoired, That the President, being responsible Tor
the oiclal acts OF ms constitutional advisers, should
possess the power to control their selection and the
effort 10 deprivc him Of this right is emneuty dis
credltabe TO the highest legislative body an the ma
on.
Resoired, That the selection BY the President OF
one of the most distinguished ami patriotic citizen,
OF tie State OF New York, to preside the de-
partment Of the Treasury, Is less gra Wing than
merited, and hazard nothing IN the prediction
ust uie duhous ana complicated duties oil the re-
sponsible station now occupied by the Hon. John c.
Spencer, will be performed in a manner worthy Of
his high reputation as statesman and contribute to
the increase OF his well earned fame while discharz-
ing the trusts heretofore conf cd in hm by the State
and nation
