tons, which, upon motion, read separately and
adopted unanimously 3
WHEREAS, in all free countries ard particularly
In our own, there is nvarable tendency to ultra
ism. Leaders of factions run iato extremes to ac-
compIsh their ambitious purposes One set of them
are destructive DESTROYS TO overthrow all institutions
and substitute their own projects of the moment for
the matured results Of enlightened experience An
other rel are fearful OF all change, dread the inlu
ence OF popular sentiment, and would limit and con-
troll II by strengthening the Of government and
by establishments calculated for the peculiar benefit
OF what they are pleased TO term the better class ;
and, whereas, against these extremes, President Ty
cy has been to restore the empire of sound and indie
pendent opinion, and 10 follow that Just and middle
course Indicated by the constitution and whereas
this course of policy has exposed him TO the assaults
oil violent men on both Sides who will doubtless
operate from a common motive in a common hos
unity, II should endear him still more to the reflect
ing portion Of community, who desire only ITS peace
ana prosperity and whereas, we believe John Ty-
Ter, IN all his course, TO have been actuaed solely
Tor The best Interests of country and not to gra-
tfp ttax .rt.I.a II
wish to see all Presidents in after times act from the
same high motives, and that but few wi be found to
so act unless sustained in their laudabe efforts by the
voice OF the people Therefore,
Resoired, That we lave with regret the de-
nuncation OF the Globe against our worthy Chief
Magistrate, and we caution them against doing nus
tce TO one who has nobly proved himself the friend
OF Democracy, singly and aione contendng with
wing Congress, and wing Senate, in resistance to
their unholy purpose Of establishing moneyed mon
ster for the expansion Of their own power and the de-
struction Of the Democratic party; an institution
thus had been previously signaIly condemned by
the people--and which John Tyler had denounced
years before dangerous the best interest of the
country-notwit outstanding his known opposition, the
wings did not Tor moment suppose any man elected
by them would dare oppose their wishes, they were
doomed to disappointment; John Tyler went forth,
and that man was found bold and firm enough to
oher himself sacrifice to his country from de-
struction.
Resopcd, That 1t is duty incumbent on the friends
oil each candidate to concate, TO act fairly and hon.
orably toward each other rendering honor to whom
honor is due, and by so doing we strengthen our
cause and give 10 II so much impetus, that the
| bined power of our great enemies the Federal Bank
men cannot Withstand the shock, but W i'll fee from
the wrath TO come, and their only place of refuge
will be Salt River.
| Resoipsd, t,whe we deprecate any attempt to
produce discord and Reorganization in the Democra-
| lat nm shn,pi hat oil
are entitled to, for each and every candidate clear
field and fair play-and they who would refuse us
this, are not the friends of principles but of men.
! Resoired, That while we willing 10 concede to
the friends Of NJ ssrs. Calhoun, johnson, Cass and
Van Buren, the right to present tie names of their
favorite candidate for consideration the Democra-
tic National Convention we, as portion of the De-
mocratic party, C aim and exercise the same right on
behalf of our iavorte JOHN TYLER.
y Resotred That in justice 10 ourselves we distinct
y declare, that, while would not dictate to 9TH
ers, will not consent to be slaves Of any clique
who may claim the po,cer of denouncing all Demo-
Gratis as renegades who support the present Admin
stration; that we do not recognize Thos H. Benton
or the Globe as the whole Democracy of the coun-
try, but that cheerfuly extend TO them the right
hand Of fellowship as part and parcel of ourselves
and unity of action for the success of
our cause, would beseech all wranglers to cease,
and unite as one man against that party who would
rule US 10 ruin.
Resoired, That while John Tyler is our first choic.
we will cheeriully support the candidate for the Pre-
sidency, fixed upon by National Convention TO as
semble in May, eighteen hundred and touriy four
