1ne committee on RESOLUTIONS feportedlhe iOl-
lowing, which were, utter discussion, adopIed
ReS0iUed, That we regard as The distinctive pin-
ciple of the Wing puIy of the United States the
doctrine that il is the duty OF The Executive TO adj
minister The government III obedience to The con-
stilulion, defined aud Interpreted by the Judi-
ciary, by the settled and long established usages
of the different departments of government, in
stead OF being governed solely by his own despot-
ic rules of action unknown 10 any but himself
and disregarded, il may be, by all others in the
government
Resolved, That we also regard as among the du-
ties OF government established, among other
things, "to promote the general welfare" to cher
sh aud protect, equally and mpnrally, the 0gr-
cultural, commercial and manufacturing interests
of the people; and that in opinion, this can
never DE done whilst the foreigner is permitted to
introduce his goods in such manner as to drain
the country of lis precious metals, without rocev-
ing in return any Of its productions on terms of
reciprocity.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the distribu.
ton of the proceeds OF the sales of the public
lands among the States to which they belong
That we consider the application of the proceeds
of the public lands TO the expenses of the General
Government, us an act OF injustice and against the
interests OF our country,-Tha such disposition
of the public lands is measure of the party hos
lille to The protection of American Industry, as no
tariff for revenue can be protective and perma-
nent, SO long as the revenue shall be constantly
flucuating.
hesolued, That although repeatedly told by our
political opponents on the eve of our last Septem-
Der election that every Wing Senator in Con-
gress voted against protective tariff" we shall
never be disposed to credit The assertion dill we
have had an opportunity OF reading the first speech
delivered by New England ew'iashoned Dem
