ResoIU;d That we approve Of the faithful, Jealous
and industrious manner, pursued by our worthy repre-
sentative Richard Hewitt, in the last Legislature,
very attentive faithful public servant-who has never
been surpassed Qt equaled) BY any-member from this
county-and as faithful public servant has neverbee1
deserted by the people-ahough we opposed him inhe
last elecon-we are glad that we have an opportunity
OF giving him our hearysupport at this convention, anc
will use all honorable means TO insure his election
Resolusd, That we are opposed 10 the whg measures
Of amending the Constitution (Which is the bulwatk o
libery) in relation TO the veto power, as they wish
trampls on the Constitution step by step until at las
they weud overthrow it, which is the motto of thei
leaders at the present dayso that they could form al
aristocraic Government; that the rich might rule ant
ratnple upon the rights OF poor men-and make "whiu
slaves ofthem."
RssOErsd, That we view with a jealous eye, one o
tie fundamental principles of whiggery, in relation Il
the one term principle To gull the people, they
preach one doctrine and practice another. Their stun
pers that come to enghten Old Bucks stated that on
Of the many differences between the two parties, wa
that they went for the term principle and the loco
focos went for the two term principle which one of tn
same sumpers has held one Of the lucravecounty OF
fees for several terms and has got the nomination 70
f is on the track for it again. Bit are led to be
eve under such circumstances, that when they preac
one term they mean for ite-as we judge according t.
their actions, and as actions sometimes speaks oude
than words, they would follow the doctrine ofthe moth
er country, Great Britain which they by the by try
initiate and follow and then the poor may be hewets
wood aho drawers ofwater
Resolted, That we lay aside each and every persona
choice. We passed last year resolution in favor O
DR.. McMEAL, in preference TO any other man in tn
County, and old Bucks always sticks true to her nteg
rity, and and never breaks her promises
Rss0V,d That the delegates have all power.o fill va
cancies that may occur.
ResOlusd That the proceedings be signed by th
Chairman and Secretary, and published in the "Ohit
| Democrat"
