and go
2ud Resopsd, That when look back upon the
contest OF 1870 and remember the unprecedented de-
feat Of Martin Van Buren,, defeat pronounced by
the free aud nghened citizens Of the United States
We regard as worse than folly the attempt OF design
ing politicians 10 place him again before that PEG
pie who have weighed him IN the balance and found
him wanting
3rd Resolred, That VIC are sincerely devoted 10
the great principles of Republicanism, If that Re
publicanism which had for IFS noblest champions
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, and that while
we are DESTROYS of :" rendering justice" 10 our pre-
sent patriotic and distinguished Chief Magistrate,
controlling motive Is TO rescue our cherished prnci-
pies from the danger which now threatens them.
4th. Resoiped, That in John Tyler we a man,
around whom all true Republicans can rally, and if
IN defiance OF every principle OF right OF every die
tate OF common justice and all the suggestions Of pot
icy, candidate Is forced upon the party by its lead
ers with the hope OF securing TO that candidate the
iaineis waieh should BE- corn by John Tyler, we do
here in the most solemn manner protest against IT,
5th. Resolved That John Tyler is and ought be
the legitimate antagonist OF Henry Clay IN the APP
preaching contest; he has by his single arm, unsup-
ported by party, and while branded with every cpl
ihet which the blind followers Of Henry Clay could
heap upon him, scued beloved country from
the most odious Federal tyranny, and caused the Re-
publican flag again 10 float triuuPhanily IN the
br' exc.
public life, he has evinced all occasions his deep
devotion TO Federal Constitution, and that the
caumny which has been poured out upon him by
the federaIiss, shows concusively that he was and
is too honest to sustain them in their urhoiy and
religious war upon that sacred instrument.
7ih. Rtsoired That the financial gloom which
hung over this widely extended land pervading eve
ny department OF business aud all relations of society
has been dlsspated by the wisdom ami frmness Of
this administration, and that we are now happily ex
rlnuf Iar S,.1tc lfS nall.
9th. ReSolped That it would be obviously Unjust TO
put the administration of President Tyler trial in
contest between Henry Clay and Martin Van Blu
rem. Should the party, therefore, endorse the
course OF the Globe by selecting candidate other
than John Tyler their standard bearer il will be
Impossible to command the respect and confidence Of
the people
9th. Resoiped, That the time has arrived when eve
ry Southerner should speak in language not to be
misunderstood, upon the subject OF Texas and that
we do here, in the most solemn manner, earnestly
call on them to demand her annexation TO this Union,
as the only safe guard of the South and that will
support no man for any Office who is opposed TO this
all impo tant measure.
10th. Re,oired, That we wish to preserve nvio.
late the Constu ion Of the United States, and that
the veto power is principle highly conservative,
shield 10 protect the rights Of the minority against the
legislative tyranny Of bare majority.

friends of President Tyler in holding State Conven-
Non III NOTioh On inc lin Ol ApTl next,
