MIR. L. Cicotte, the following preamble and resou-
tons, which, upon notion were read separately and
adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, in all free countries, ard particularly
IN our own, there is nvariabe tendency to ultra
ISM Leaders of factions run nto extremes to ac-
compllsh their ambitious purposes. One set of them
are destructive, DESTROYS to overthrow all Institutions
ana substitute their own projects of the moment for
the matured results Of enlightened experience An
other set are fearful of all change, dread the nu
ence OF popular sentiment and would limit and con-
troll 1t by Strengthening the of government, and
by establishments calculated for the peculiar benefit
OF what they pleased to term the better class
ana, whereas, against these extremes, President Ty-
Ter has resouely set his face and whereas his poll
cy has been to restore the empire Of sound and indie
pendent opinion, and to follow that lust and middle
course indicated by the constitution and whereas
this course OF policy has exposed him to the assaults
OF violent men both sides, who will doubtless CO.
operate from common motive, in a common hos.
tlity, it should endear him still more to the reflect
ing portion OF community who desire only It's peace
and prosperity and, whereas, we believe John "
Ter, IN all his course, TO have been actuated solely
lot the oesl interests of country and not to gra
Thy the wishes Of any particular party-and as we
wish to see ali Presidents in after times act from the
same high motives, and that but few wi be found to
SO act une sustained in their audable efforts by the
voice of the people, Therefore,
Resorsd, That have seen with regret the de-
nunclation of the Globe against our worthy Chief
Magistrate, and caution them against doing injus-
tlce to one who has so noby proved himself the friend
OF Democracy, singly and alone, contending with a
wing Congress, and wing Senate, in resistance to
their unholy purpose Of establishing moneyed mon
ster Tor The expansion OF their power and the de-
structon Of the Democratic party an institution
thus had been previously so signaly condemned by
the people-and which John Tyler had denounced
years before dangerous to the best interest of the
ountry-notwlthstanding his know opposition the
wings did not for moment suppose any man elected
oy them would dare oppose their WISHES they were
doomed to disappointment; John ~ went forth
and that man found bold and firm enough to
l
struction.
ReSolred, Tat it is duty incumbent on the friends
of each candidate to conclae to act fairly and hon.
orably toward each other, rendering honor to whom
honor is due, and by so doing strengthen our
cause and give 10 II so much impetus, that the com
blned power OF our great enemies the Federal Bank
men cannot Withstand the shock, but will fee from
the wrath to come, and their only place of refuge
will be Salt River.
Rescued, That while deprecate any attempt to
I'd and "A A. n.
tic ranks, we ask and insist upon showing what all
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
Resolved, hat while we are willing to concede TO
the friends of NJ ssrs. Calhoun, Johnson Cass and
Van Buren,, the right to resent names of their
favorite candidate for consideration to the Democra
nc National Convention, we, as portion Of the De-
mocratic party, aim and exercise the same right on
behalf Of our lavorte john TYLER.
Resolred That in justice TO ourselves we distinct
ly declare, that, while would not dictate TO 9th
ers, will not consent TO be slaves Of any clique
Who may claim The poicer of denouncing all Demo
Gratis as renegades who support the present Admin
stration; that we do not recognize Thos. II. Benton
or the Globe the whole Democracy Of the coun-
try, but that cheerfully extend to them the right
hand Of fellowship part and parcel Of ourselves
and unity of action is necessary for the success of
cause, we would bcseech all wranglers to cease
and unite as one man against that party who would
rule US TO our ruin
ResoIred That while John Tyler is our first choics
will cheeriuly support the candidate for the Pre-
sldency fixed upon by National Convention TO as
semble in May, eighieen hundred and tourfy four.
