Of said tribunals for we conceive it to be duty We
owe country TO adopt the motto of one OF the
purest patriots" Union and harmony self denial
and concert, in everything for cause and nothing
for men,"
Resored, That we decidedly in favor of electing
delegates TO the National Convention by districts a.

selves, without the dicta,on Of interested or sord
political Office hunters, whose sole aim is the emol.
ment of office, by packing the Convention.
Resolved, That call on the Democracy tbrougI.
out the Union to rally in support of their true friend
Colonel johnson; for there is no man in the country
that could bring to our cause a greater degree Of
strength, or more brilliant reputation for patriotism
and uniform adherence 10 sound Republican prlnr
Piles, from the beginning of his career to the present
time.
Resoired, That we are opposed 10 any party that
has for its object The persecution of portion of our
fellow citizens for hold that all men are entitled
TO the privileges, that conform TO the laws al
the country and we, therefore, hold in utter con-

Resoirsd, That editors, like individuals have uc
same right 10 espouse whatever candidate tbc, my
deem proper, until such time IS the national ,..,c1
ton decide upon the great question of the Prcsar
and II will then become the duty Of all true D,.-
