The Chair then appointed committee of the follow

time, reported The following resolutions declarations
for the action Of The meeting:

ing deems proper 10 appoint Delegates 10 the aP
proachng State Convention, 10 be held in the city Of
Richmond on the 9TH Of March next
2nd. That said Convention, If we'll attended, and go.
vcrned by prudent and proper of conduct, will
be productive Of general good TO our cause but if on
The other hand rash counsels of any kind should pre-
vail, We shall regret that IL ever assembled.

crazy and overweening confidence in our strength,
with consequent neglect to all viglan means fnr
the perpeuatlon of our principles may lead to fatal
consequences.
9TH While the Federulists are chnckng at the mos,
disan, hope OF DIVISION every Democrat should
determine forever to dsappont that hope, by adopting
the memorable motto -" Union, concession, har.
mony, erery hing for the cause, nothing for men. =
And while we, in common with our friends throughout
The Union, have personal favortes for the great
Offices in the gift OF the people, determine one and
all, when the proper time arrives, TO show our since
ry and entire devotion to the CAUSE, by supporting
the individual, who, in general Convention, shall
ceve the nomination for the highest office in gift.
9Th. Should the approaching Convention name a
time and place for the nomination Of candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Union,
believe the choice Of Delegates, TO make said
