Jefiersonian economy--rased with view To revenue

Of The Union 10 support another and making showers
OF wood aud drawers of water OF the iaboring class
es, for the benefit of rich monoposis and souiiess
corporations, whose dividends are wrung from The
sweat OF the poor and rise IN per centage as wages

Resolped, That we are opposed to Henry Clay's
Federal measure Of abolishDg the veto power IRON
the Constitution having found II the only buwark oil
the Democracy against Federal oppression, under
both Jackson and ] yler.
Resolved That we are opposed TO the United States
assuming 10 pay a debt of two hundred millions oil
dollars TO The British bankers and stockholders INTO
which some Of the States were seduced BY Nh le'
gslaon and Bidde-banking-n holding the blddle
doctrine that " first duty IS TO foreigners dull
believing that, II The united pouhu N""S"
lhey are NJ pay to any of the debts of the States

VIII oh are due from them to our own people-our

viewing as unconstitutional and bold bid Tor votes
for the Presidency.
Resolped, That there is power given in the Con-
suton, to Congress, to interfere with the rights OF
property in Slaves in any portion OF the territory
within the United Stotes or subject TO her laws
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions set iorth
our principles upon the leading questions on which
Federalis,s and Democrats differ, and that on all
others which we may have omitted, we agree with
the great Democratic party.
Resorcd, That these we believe to be the prnci-
pies Of JOHN TYLER whom we recognise as Demo
crat of the Jefferson school, in which he was reared
and who, although he may have differed with the
majority of the Democratic party for while, about
men, and now and then on particular measure, we
do not deem him have thereby forfeited his title to
be considered and treated a member of the De-
nocratic party, any more than did Mr. Van Buren,
his by supporting DE Witt Clinton against Mr. Madi-
son during the war, and ayowing the abolition oil
slavery in the District of Columbia to be constitu
tional or than did Mr.. Calhoun, by his proposition
to nullify oppressive tariff; instances in which
both those gentlemen differed from the majority OF
the democratic party.
Resolved That if Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.. Calhoun,
port Of the measures Of the Democracy, and their
great and efficient opposition 10 the arch enemy OF
the party and its principles, the Bank of the United
States, atoned land we freely and cheerfully admit
they did) for any slight and temporary alterations
from the party so Mr.. Tyler by his general loyalty
to the party and by saving IT, as he did by his gor
reoes, from prostration under and subsection to-
a Mammoth Bank, for twenty, fifty, hundred years.
perhaps forever has fully and nobly atoned for the
offence of an honest difference Of opinion with
majority of us on some minor points.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting,
that if John Tyler had not vetoed the bills for the
establishment of Bank of the United States the
Democratic party would now, not only be groaning
under the ntolerabe yoke of great souess corpo-
ration, having sympathies with the people
heartless tax gathcrer wrnging from the laborer
runous per ceniage on his hard earnings throughout
the long term Of its charter, and robbiDg him of all
his little savings in the end but should have been
CALLED in every limb by the chains OF Federalism
for II the Bank had not been pefoed if John Tyler
had not stood firm, not TO be brbed bued, all of
the Federal measures would now have been in exis
tence and operation, weighing us down and grinding
us in the dust.
Resotred, That, while we remember the loud and
uncomfortable expression of gratitude with which
the Democracy greeted the great and glorious old
Hero OF the Hermitage for the death blow he gave
the old Bank, we cannot feel otherwise than deeply
grateful to John Tyler also, for strangling the
one IN ITS birth and may feel assured that he who
conduct, and to whom, in his own generous, magnan-
imous and independent spirit, he has said, swell
DONE" cannot be unworthy of the confidence and
support Of the Democracy wherefore,
Resoired, That we cherish the fame, admire the
and endorse the principles Of all the Dem
ocratlc candidates for the Presidency, and pledge
ourselves to give cordial support TO any one OF
them who may be nominated by the National Con-
yeDtion.
Resoired, That we have seen good reason as
signed for departure from the example set by the
Democratic party in 1910, of holding the National
Convention IN the spring of the year of the election
and therefore approve of the time and place designa-
ted by the Democratic members of the Legislatures
of Maryland Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and
South Carolina viz. May, lS44, in Baltimore.
Resoiped, That these proceedings be signed by the
officers of the meeting and that they be requested TO
procure their insertion in the Baltimore Republican
and Sun, of this city, with request to the Richmond
Enquirer and Madisonan to copy.
