THE SYRACUSE RESOLUTIONS.

last week at Syracuse, not only rejected The DIS
ircl System OF eecling delegates 10 The National
Convention, but absolutely proceeded TO appoint,
aud did appoint lhiny-six delegates 10 repre-
sent the Democracy Of that State IN the Balli-
more Convention. We also stated, and truly
that these delegates were instructed and direct
ed 10 vote for Mr.. VAN BuREN, aud 10 use all
honorable means to secure his nominations
To-day we copy The resolutions adopted ny
the Convention. These resolutions, adopted by
men met together in convention, for The pur-
pose of amending Mr.. Van Buren, for nomi-
nation by The National Convention to meet IN
MAY next at Baltimore, as the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency-lhese resolutions,
we say, considering that they were adopted by
such men, convened for such purpose, and at a
time when the Globe assumes to lead the whole
mighty party, and is daily pouring two columns
Of unmiiigated abuse on the devoted head OF
the President-are, we think, uNExcEProNABLE
They are precisely such as we were led, from
circumstances, TO expect from such an ehlighl-
en-, d body, and we frankly confess our admra-
lion of them. They contain no hostile ihrusis
at the Presidtnt-hence the Globe has not u
word to say in their praise They manifest an
earnest and ardent desire to heal disailtciions
and allaS dissenlions-hen The Globe has mol
even alluded to them editorially. They mani
f. st a determination to via success Tor the
cause-hence the Globe, trembling for The fate
Of its pocket, embraces every opportunity to as
si,t Mr. Clay in his war against this Admlnis-
uaton.
The resolutions are admirably Wi ten; none
were ever more perfect in point oil style ahG
temper; and the finished thoughts they express
must have emanated from IA master mind
There is not an expression IN them, designed,
(,hould Mr.. Tyler not be the candldalc,) to
drive his friends into the Clay ranks. On the
contrary they most efftctualy rcbuke the
insane declaration Of the Gil be, that 9 II the
friends of this Admin is,ration were permitted
to rally under the banner Of the Republican can
didate, hundreds, OF thousands of Democrats
woull fold their arms, and suffer the Govern
ment to fall into the hands of ultra Federalism.
We understand that neither Mr. Davis nor
any other leading member of the Convention
let fall an intimalion that Col Benton was 10
be the successor of Mr.. Van Buren,. May not
this fact account for the Globes omnous 81
lence? Something or Other in the proceeding
has seriously offended the Globe, and II dis
charges It's concentrated maIignlty on The Ad'
minisration. Does it really fear that II Mr..
Van Buren, should not get the nomination, hI>
f,iends might rally on Mr.. Tyler in the Con
venton Its mind, we think, would have been
more at case, if there had been inius into the
Syracuse Re ou,ions some Of its owudogmati-
cal abuse Of OLD VETO.
SO far from any thing OF the kind, the priEci-
pies contained in tie third re oution are idcn-
tcal with President TyIer's-with those at Ihr
head Of our column.
Resolred That we retain undminished opposition
TO Federal measures and principles in every form
ard under every name. We are opposed to ma
tional bauk-to 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 extravsgant and costly administration OF the Ge
ner,l Government; while we approve and VIII sup
port an economical and retrenchlng system 81 eh-
pense-a moderate and reduced naval aud military
establishment in peace-a divorce OF The money
power from the political power-an independent
treasury tariff founded on revenue principles, ana
wisely discriminating for the encouragement oil aOo'
in agriculture, commerce, and manuiactures-ahl
policy of Government fostering state authorities, M
ierna peace aud tranquility, and independent oil al
foreign influence and control.
=" An independent treasury" Is not me sub
treasury. We go for it-so does The Presideh
as it W i'll be seen hereafter
The Tariff views are peculiarly our own
And so with the rest.
The following expressions IN lhe second reso
luton contain anything but a use OF President
TYLER. "The recovery and return Of the couG'
try TO confidence in Democratic measures anC
Democratic men, since Federalism swept ovei
the lsnd,n land was) "but 100 Likely 10 ia ten
upon us and our poslerily the calamities Of mo
neyed power,n &c The "Democratic inca
suresn were the VEToEs and President 1yel
the democratic man" who sverted the "ca
lamities"
These illusions to the acts OF the Presiden
by the Syracuse Convention, must be exceed
ingly annoying TO the Globe. They are Ger
tainly gratifying to US. They prove that not
witbstauding all the Gobe's abuse Of the Presi
dent, the great Democratic party will not sooI
forget that it wa, the refoes which saved then
and the country in most critical time Of need
II is true Mr.. Tyei's name is not mentioned
in the resolutions-ncitheri is the name Of John
son, Buchanan, Cass, Calhoun. The course o
the Globe is not approved, nor the Mddisoniar
denounced.
~ b. The Treaty Of Washington is not de
nounccd, nor the appointment OF Democrats Il
office !!!!!!!
