the Florida lndians-and the re-establishing of the
credit OF our Government, are most conspicuous
aud that the President deserves for such services and
should receive, not only the heartfelt thanks Of the
entire democratic party, but the appreciation Of the
whole people, by the unanimous shout of swell done
thou good and faithful servantn
Resotred That John Tyler is entitled to fair Open
candid and honorable consideration, at the hands Of
the Democratic Republican party, in reference to
nomination for their next Presidential candidate.
Resoired That hereby name John Tyler, Of
Virginia as our first choice for Presidential cand-
date for the election in 1874
Resolved That we have the highest confidence in
he patriotism and democracy of Wilson Shannon,
Governor of Ohio; and that we esteem nm not less
for his unbemished integrity gentlemanly qualities,
and social virtues than for his efforts to subdue that
spirit of intolerance which characterizes some other
heretofore prominent men of our day
Resoirld, That in declaring ourselves IN favor OF
carrying out The Democratic Republican construction
OF the Constitution, mean
Opposition to Tariff exclusively for the protection
and benefit of small class of the people;
In taror of Tariff for revenue, with incidental dis
eliminating provisions in favor of our own manuiac-
lures and products;
Opposition to an United States Bank;
In favor of adopting such laws for the regulation
and fiscal operation of the Treasury, will enable
the Government to collect and disburse its
with safety and facility
Opposition to an amendment of the Constitution so
to abolish the power of the President to withhold
his assent to laws passed by less than two thirds of
Congress
Opposition to the withdrawal of the land funds from,
the Treasury Of the United States;
Opposition to the proposition of the General Gov
eminent to assume or to guarantee the payment Of the
debts of the several States;
Opposition to a National Debt, except for unayoida-
bic and strictly legitimate national purposes;
IN, taror OF strict economy in every department Of
the Government:
In taror of liberal, yet not lavish appropriations
for the gradual increase Of our Navy and for placing
our country in condition Of safety and defence
Resolped, That notwithstanding our determination
to treat with respect all the Republican candidates in
the field, and notice the action of their friends with
good fellow-democratic feeling, either because we
see they merit it, or from forbearance, yet we
shall treat with that contempt, which it merits, the
late interrogatory of the Washington Globe respect
ing the disposition of Mr. Tyler and his friends to
I" submit TO the nominations made by the National
Convention" We declare such interrogatory,
emanating from such source at such period,
emptible, from the fact that the editors of the Globe
have constantly and firmly denied the validity of Mr..
Tyler's claims to the title Of Repubcan-constant-
y opposed the admission Of his name into the Ma
tonal Convention, and constantly and unrelentng-
ly abused, beed, mlsrepresented, vhed and de-
nounced him and his Standardization the fact.
that those editors themselves, not having yet pledge
themselves to abide the result of the Convention TO
which they refer-and from the fact that they have
no right to PROFOUND the question to Mr. Tyler or his
friends, until they to belle him and learn to do
him Justice. When they shall thus do-thus learn
they will cease to feel the necessity OF asking the
question
Resored, That the question: forthwith TO extend
Government authority that portion of the Uni
ted States Territory west Of the Rocky Mountains,
one of such deep interest to the whole Union as
to demand the close and deliberate attention and
Election of Congress and should be carried into effect
speedily as may be consistent with uncomfortable
obstacles--if there be such.
Resored, That the. proposition to annex Texas to
the United States-or, as some have 1t, to rec0rer
our lost possession of that pant of the Louisiana pur-
chase-s question presenting itself in many fa-
voable aspects, that it is worthy of being fully and
duly examined and investgated-and investigated
too and judged, in that spirit of concession and
promise which forms the nucleus Of National
Union.
ReSolrtd, That having thus announced our choice
of candidates for the next Presidential term, and ha
wing declared continued determn alton TO support
none but Democratic principles, and having attempt
ed TO show our consistency to those principles IN the
choice Of man, now put the question to the
candor of a--whether for every one reason urged
by the friends Of other candidates. why Democrats
could not nominate John Tyler have not clearly
sustained of reasons why they nominate
him aud whether, for every one point OF view which
they advance, why he should mol be nominated,
we have not demonstrated double the number why
he should be nominated
Resoired 4 hat should any portion of the Democra-
tic ranks so far forget their duty the success of
Principles, TO carry their prescription of far
as to deny to OTHER portions of the same ranks the
rights and privileges of party usages-of which we
regret to see so many indicaons-we only say,
on their heads be the consequences
ReSolred, That feel the greater emotions of
gratitude for the prolonged days of JACKSON, since
he is but daily adding fresh laurels to his already
wide extended and well deserved fame as Hero
Sage and Patriot and while we sincerely hope that
that protecting Providence, wherein he has repeated
ly publicly ayowed his trust will grant him yet many
days of life in peace and comfort, we extend TO him
our hearty thanks for having in his late epstles,-
sent forth, were, the last efforts OF usefulness
Of his once active but trembling hand -taught
US by his example, 10 lore principles rutRer than
men, get 10 deal justly and honorabiy by for The sake
Il their adherence 10 principles; and that while
others seem to disregard this rule as their guide,
and are hurting their anathemas upon the head
Of the present Chief Magistrate, the noble and
patriotic mind Of a Jackson still gives evidence
of It's ruling passion, devotion to the peace, quiet,
prosperity, and protection and preservation OF
his country, and hesitatcs not 10 shrink from
openly and frankly awarding TO President Tyler, as
much credit for having sanctioned-in accordance
with what he conceived TO be the will and decision of
the People-the repeal Of the Sub-Treasury law, as
he does for those ndisputably great and glorious
acts the YtocS Of the bills TO revive that Monster
whose head has been laid down by his own mighty !
and indomitable efforts and, now as the response
of children to an aged and beloved parent, whose
counsel they have long enjoyed, and the fruits OF
whose labors has already been placed in their enjoy
ment as an inheritance, send our voice TO the
venerable occupant Of the Hermitage, and give him
our assurance that in the exercise Of duty TO
transmit to descendants the great landmarks Of
that bond which connects and cements the glorious
fabric of our Union, will point them to the Tetoes
Of jackson, and of Tyler, as among the most un-
erring guides to lead them in the path of Republican
