BILE and resolution, which he supported IN some ao'e
remarks Messrs Hamersley, Huntington, and Nus
sell also elounenty advocated the Resolution hessts
Normand LYMAN and G. r. Phelps opposed u. II

Whereas. the Democrats Republicans OF the Union
were defeated at the last Presidential Election IN the
person of Martin Van Buren,, and his defeat was oc-
casioned by the fidelity with which ne maintained Inc
great and good cause upheld by them and whereas
Mr. Van Buren, has oil times filled the public trusts
con6ded to him with signal ability, purity OF purpose
and uprghtness Of conduct adhered TO the Democratic
faith, with unbe nding hrmness, uncer the seVeres'
tr,aIs and rendered his adm nstraton iustrious, by
the honesty, Intelligence and Republican measures
which distinguished 1t and whereas, every previous
Democratic President has been re elected ana Inc re
election of Mr. Van Buren, prevented by fraud,
fasehood, and other unworthy means, when leit u
broad and deep STAN behind them and whereas, we
believe that by placing Mr.. Van Buren, in the fres'-
dental Chair this STAN will be wiped out, The wrong
,ighted, and most signal and honorable example al
forded of the wisdom and justice OF people, whose
ssober second thought will restore ct once the man
and the measures, thus overthrow by party which
had no prime piles or the public eye but which has
itself been over,hrown by the calm influence OF pubic
sentiment soon as It's principles were exposed
Therefore,
Resulted, That this meeting en.erains decided
preference for Martin Van Buren, candidate for the
Presidency at the next election; and that the dele
gates whom shall elect to the State Convention be-
and they hereby are instructed 10 vote for such dele
gates to the National Convention, shall be favorable
TO his nomination.

nocatic principles cheeriuliy submit the question to

And Whereas the choice of Electors of President and
Vice President, this State is not By districts, but
by the people of the State people, and the vote

tonal practice, which il acknowledged TO govern IN

gates chosen large aud not BY districts; mus repre-
senting the people, and not Fragments expressing Tue
sentiments of majority of the whole, and not the par
tal and local majori,es of parts and thus preserving
undmnished power as State IN tn's Conieoeracy
and whereas the delegates TO the State Convention Will
come directly from the people, will be chosen IN vie"
of this subject and will be- there IS just reason TO
belle We trne Representatives, and expon.nts ct these
views; and whereas the nomination OF state othcers
will combine with the interest taken ia the Presden-
tal question, attract full delegation from all Pafta'
and clearly elicit the feelings of the people, and whereas

that we shall be enabled TO devote undivided ener-
eies against the assaults Of Federalism and prevent an
agitation the Presidential question: which may dis
turb the party, in their local nominations and elections
