Whereas. regard the present depressed and
suffering condition through bout our whole county,
as the legitimate result, of Of policy sirct.
" and rig,dly ushered TO by The party who have
administered the affairs Of his Government tor
a long series Of years. And, whereas we fur
ther believe, that to restore suffering coun-
try 10 its former won'ed prosperity, we must
sort 10 The same means, that the fathers Of our
beloved country did in 1892, and also in 1916,
by body no less patriotic when a sinilar state
of things existed, deranged and ruined curren-
cy, large surplus Of the products OF land,
and large number Of industrious and enierpri-
sing mechanics driven from our employ meDt.-
Therefore
Resolred, That so long the Ame sican people
will suffer themselves 10 be deprived Of Tariff,
protecting American industry, National curren-
cy, furnished by National Bank; just long
the people of this Nation W al be liza BILE to 1uctu-
atoms and revusions, and leave the mechanic
without employ ment, and tho farmer without q
market for the surplus products of his farm.
Resolred, That we esteem Henry CLAW, tho
champion IN whose ha nds the cause Of our suffer
ing country may be safely committed, aud that
tbs democracy Of our land, may with confidence
rally under the banner OF him, who first TO
arouse his counfrymen TO resist tho encronch>
ments and aggressions Of Great Britton, and to
call $50 arms" when the honor Of this proud Ma.
ton IN danger. Who by his matches elo-
Guence refuted the arguments Of hose who were
willing 10 purchase peace at the expense Of Ma
ional honor. Who afterwards one of the
honored agents, through whom successful war
terminated by an honorable peace.

pledge ourselves The ahar Of our coun-
rvs prosperity, and declare ourselves soldiers in
the approaching war, and be active in doing
battle for the rights Of tho people, the whole peo
pie, and leave 1t as IN Junction on our Posterty
after do ike wise.
Resotued, That II is not in the nature Of Wings
to take council from dispa, or or to cover in the
hour Of danger; although failed but not defea ted
and that we attribute our reversions in Ohio, New
York &c, 10 our own sapneness and division, and
not &c any new acquired power OF the enemy.
Resolred, Tha, we have profited too much from
past experience, to be longer guled or misled by
The enemy's cry Of no party, while their acts
prove such effects only made TO deceive and
divide the Wings And while they have the o..
rene song of no party following from their lips,
their acts a. The same time proue il to be base
and unbrIdled deception.
Resotred, That While regard Henry Clay
as The only candidate Of the Wing party brought
forward by their spontaneous action: yet ws
strongly urge the propriety Of convenine a Wing
National Convention; believing that il would aid
much IN a thorough reorganization, and bring for.
ward the whole Wing party 10 unbroken mass
Realized unanimously. That We regard with
utter condemnation the course pursued by tho
Minority Of the House Of Representatives, in
their action upon The contested election for the
counties OF Suben and Dekab, as deserving the
jas, execration Of ~ronged and insuIted people.
