The resolutions which follow show that the
spirit of our fathers in their resistance to tyran
ny Of every kind, still burns in the breasts OF
West New Workers:
Resolved That our motto Is John Tyler against The
world for the next Presidency.
Resolved, That this meeting enters their solemn
protest against the taken by the late Syracuse
Convention, which was controlled by set Of worn
out and broken dowo political hacks Of Martin Van
Buren,, the tendency of which was to break down
tho Democracy of the country.
ResoIred, That in casting our eyes over the whole
Union, we behold tens of thousands Of the honest
hard listed yeomanry anxious to do honor to homes,
John Tyler, and gratitude calls for his nomination
as reward for the most important and self-sacr6c
ing services rendered to the people.

Conventions to be held in New York and Baltimore

of this meeting to inquire whether his doctrine OF
AT NOR ICH, CONNECTICUT.
On the 4th inst: april the friends of John
Tyler met at Norwich. Connection, to appoin,
delegates to the District Convention called in
that city, on the 18th instant. Joel w. White,
one of the most distinguished Democrat. in the
State, and who voted for Mr.. Van Buren, in
1910, called the meeting TO order. E. C. Chap
man was made Chairman. The following re-
solutions speak for themselves
Whereas, the political signs of the times arc omi-
nous Of disaster to the Of Democracy through
out the country in consequence of the action of
tain seelected leaders and selconst,uted cliq ues
in pressing the claims of the defeated Presidential
candidate Of 1910 upon the people for reelection
therefore
Resolced, That We heartily approve of the proposed
plan Of holding another Democratic National Con.
vention in Baltimore, on the same day. to be com.
posed Of delegates appointed by each congression al
district in each State, coming "fresh from the pee-
pie"
R<solped, That the friends OF the present Admins
tratisn, in this State are chiefly composed of the
early, staunch, and constant supporters of Andrew
Jackson, and that in giving their influence and favor
to John Tyler, they but evince their admiration Of
and attachment to, the same noble qualities which
characterized the official Of that eminent hero
and statesman.
Rssoloed, That we entertain no sentiments of q
personal character against MIR. Van Buren, that our
opposition to him arises from want of respect to
the man ~ an individual or a statesman; but that
having been the candidate of the party n 1870
and beaten, and the same existing to render
second defeat in 1914 certain if he is again rum we
deem bis nomination at this time injudcious in the
extreme.
Reso,sd, That the result Of the recent election in
this State furnishes another evidence of the truth of
these sentimentsthe wings have raised the issue OF
"Clay or Van Buren," and unquestionably Influenced
many democratic voters TO stay at home, while 9TH
ers were driven into their ranks and that it is
our hrm belief bad this truly been the issue, we
should have been defeated by a most ovcrw hclmng
majority.
R,soirsd, That it behooves all true democrats TO be
looking about them-to consider we'll the course to
be pursued-and TO unite in good faith with each
other in the matter Of selecting Presidential
candidate, whose battlecry shall be the presage of
victory.
