Resolved, Tha, the Democracy Of The coun-
~ of Monroe, has been long known and tried,
and has never yet been wanting in large
majority IN favor of The peoples candidates,
and that we will not now be found arrayed
against State Administration OF our own
choice, and a Governor whose principles and
course of conduct we highly approve
Resolved, That any political meeting in this
county, holding sentiments differing from these,
cannon be of The main body of the Democratic
party, but must be composed of shreds of par
Ties, aided by DictaioFs from other counties, TO
whose doube-dealng the Democracy of Mon
roe are strangers, and from whose principles
and opinions we most delerminedly turn way
Resolved, That we do not approve Of the
National Administration under John Tyler, and
hope TO see a faithful, true-heaIed Democrat
OF the oid-iashioned school and principles,
selected as a candidate for me Presidency, TO
whom will give our undivided support.
Resolved, That we entirely approve OF the
Stale Administration under our excellent Chief
Magistrate, David r. Porter, The man Of our
choice, and whose faithful services and deter
an ned opposition 10 diclaIion from the unprin-
cipled, and whose prudence and economy in
the administration OF the affairs of State, de-
mandS and receives our unqualified cemmenJa-
lion.
Resolved, That the only two vetoes by the
Governor during The last session of the Legis-
laiu:e, The first OF the Congressional District
bill, aud the other 81 The act auihorlsng The
Legislature 10 elect The Canal Commissioners,
were measures of wisdom and justice. The
FIRST bill being unequal and unjust in lis prosis
IONS, and The latter placing power in the Leg
Isla,ure nOi allowed them by the constitution,
and which had once been giTen them and i'm
mediaiely on trial Withdrawn, and more parc-
ularly because the majority Of the late Legis-
laiure was not a body of men in whom the
Democracy could place confidence, or 20 whose
hands they could commit unusual powers and
privileges.
Resolved, That highly approve of The
course pursnedby our Representatives,, Messrs.
Joseph Kerr and Asa Packer, and of our SEN
ator l.uIher Kiddsr, and believe that they have
faithfully represented lhe voice of their con-
silluemts and have well maintained The best in
teTests Of the though they
were sometimes in The minority, on account Of
having been deserted by those who should
have Stood by them, some of whom betrayed
their constituents by so deserving them.
Resolved, That The Democracy of Monroe is
capable of laking care of themselves, and that
we entirely decline aud refuse The diciaion Of
renegade Democrats, oilice-hunters, and all
others from adjoining counties. That the ad-
dress of Speaker Wright recently made at this
place, contained sentiments which we neither
approve nor believe, and recommend TO thai
gentleman TO conline his exeriions hereafter 10
hs own constituents, and endeavor 10 settle
with them for deserving his party and princi-
pies.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the officers and publish
