lowing manner, viz Two for the State at large by

that Distrct-and that six substitutes be chosen in
| the same manner"
After some little debate the resolution passed.
On motion of Mr.. McCurdy, a Committee of one
| from County was appointed by the Chair to nom-
mate the two delegates and the substitutes for the
State at large.
Gov. ELLSWORTH as chairman of the Commit
tee on Resolutions reported the following:
WHEREAS, The present Tariff is of vital impor-
lance to the labor and agriculture Of the country
generally, and especially to New England-and
whereas every representative in Congress from
| New England of our opponents, with one cXccp.
| ton, voted against its passage, and but few Of
| their number from other States supported it
and whereas their newspapers, almost univer-
sally, and each Of those published in Connecti-
cut, have denounced it, and are laboring in con-
junction with their party to discredit and destroy
it-and whereas John C. Calhoun, Martin Van
| Buren,, Thomas II. Benton, and their associates
| are publicly committed to put an end to its ex-
istence soon as procticable-
ResOlved, That the Manufacturers, Operatives,
Mechanics, Farmers and Laboring men of this
State, deeply interested in the character Of
next Legislature, which will be called to choose
Senator, as well as in the approaching Presiden-
| tial struggle.
ResoIoed That the triumphs of the free trade no.
tons Of John c Calhoun, and the equally South
| ern policy Of Martin Van Buren-whose late letter
to gentleman in Virginia declares his utter
ton to the principles well as the details of the
present Tarih-would destroy the hopes Of New
England, and send her to labor in the far West
where their industry would only increase the al
ready surplus products Of her new lands.
ResoIped, That il is our true interest and de-
termination to maintain essentially the present Tar
ill., and we are confident il our opponents will SUIT
fer such Tariff to become the settled policy Of the
country, that with its great champion, Nu-EiENRY
CLAY,-f0 at the head, the people will enjoy q
degree Of prosperity and happiness in no Other
way attainahle
ResOlved, That the resolutions passed by our pO-
ltical opponents At the last session Of the General
Assembly Of this State, declaring that the present
