NEW JEFF EHSON, O's august 81, 1Cft
The Democratic Republican Association Of
German township, met and adopted the follow
ing resolutions; viz:
Re8olped, That we deem it high time for ey-
cry true Democrat to bestir himself, and to take
la decided stand in favor of all the Democratic
nominees that are now nude, or that may be
made hereafter, for any Office whether National
or State.
Re8oloed, That desrous as il may be to dwell
at peace with our whig neighbors, and sorowing
for the occasions that impetus to array ourselves
in opposition to them, yet the eliminating ol
our candidates for ofiices--the arrogant assump-
tions made-the false issues attempted 10 be
Joined, and the faschoods put forth by them,
admonish US ofthe necessity Of taking decided
and defensive ground.
RcsoJued, That we believe the true matter at
issue, al present, is National Bank, a Proec-
live Tariff, the Distribution of the proceeds Of
the Public Lands, and the Assumption by the
General Government of the Debts Of the States.
That against all of these the Democrats array
themselves, while the wings are for them; and
they attempt to drag forward, as of the greatest
importance, the Annexation of Texas; which is
only plan 10 divert the attention from the true
questions at issue: for, be it remembered, that
Henry Clay said that ga National Bank is Of
superior Importance" and again, very recently,
reiterated that "a National Bank IS paramount
to all other questions"
Re8olred, That we are opposed TO National
Bank, on the ground that it is not enumerated in
the powers of Congress, nor in the Constitution,
to create one-or is it necessary to carry on the
Goyemment-and thereby deduciblo by fair in
ference or construction.
Rcaolred, That in the plan TO Distribute the
proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands a.
mong the States, we see an attempt made to
make the General Government a tax-gatherer foi
the States, and a brbe offered to the States to
allow the General Government 10 exercise ati.
tudinous power.
ReSOlced, That we hold the Assumption o.
the State Debts by the General Government, un
constitutional, unjust, and iniquitous in the ex
treme.
ResoIred, That we are in favor of Tariff tc
an amount corresponding precisely to the want;
Of the General Government. administered econ
omically, in time Of peace, and this we hold will
afford all the protection in any wise called fo
by the good Of ali,
ReSolUed, That we are in favor of the Annexa
ton of Texas 10 the Union, on a plan in charac
ter similar to that proposed by Thomas H. Ben
ton; and we believe TO annex it is Legislative
act, and not an Executive one. But we go Dem
ocratic measures with or without Texas.
I Resolped, That it is with feelings of indigna
ton, that we call to mind the Imprisonment 0
Thomas w. Dorr;--believlng it TO be thrust a
the ytals OF the Democracy of our country.
ResoIucd, That we will use our best cxor
lions, in a lawful way, TO promote the election o
all regularly nominated Democrats to the office
for which nominated.
Rcsolped, That the proceedings Of this meet
ing be signed by the President and Secretary
and published in the Cadiz Sentinel.
ANDREW LYNCH, President.
JouN M. BURNS, Secretary.
