And said committee was instructed toreportl
at an adjourned meeting, to be held on the
evening of Saturday the 25th inst.
{This address reported in conformity with
the above, by Mr.. Jones from the commit.
tee, will be found in another column, and
SHOULD BE READ, AND DELIBERATELY CON
srDEReD BY EVERY WING N THE COUNTY,
The following Preamble and Resolutions
were unanimously adopted by the meeting.
WHEREAS, We,as Wings, American Re-
publican Wings, holding principles which had
their origen in the inception and progress of
that glorious struggle which made US free
people-and advocating the great measures
of that truly "American SYSTEM" which has
thus early in our history-evenin our intan-
CIV as Republic us TO the fore
most ranks among the Nations of the earth;
and which, though stigmatzed as anti-denlo-
cratic, by the paItizans of MARTIN VAN b.
Rem, received the sanction and appreciation
of GEoReE WASHINGTON; having assembled
together on this day hallowed TO the memory
.Eof that immortal man, and deeming it most
fit and suitable occasion for expressing our
unaltered conviction that these bens6cient
i principles aud measures COMPRISE The true
policy OF The Country, and FOR mlngllns our
prayers, and pledging our efforts, for their re-
qtoration TO the administration of the govern
ment, be it therefore
Resolred, That in Henry Clay, the great
American Statesman and Patriot, Repub-
lican of '96, the main stay and supporter OF
the democratic administration ofJames Mad
son, in the troublous times Of the late War,
IL -. - ~ oo,,~;-.o,,t -J,,,c.4o ~ IL,
only policy calculated in our opinion 10 pro-
mote the industry, quicken the enegies, and
advance the best interests of the Nation, we
behold the worthy instrument under heaven
for bringing back to the administration of
OUT federal government the principles and
and practices OF the purer days of the Re-
public; and that we hail the enthusiasm and
unanimity with which the people every where
throughout the length and breadth of the
land are rallying under his standard, as the
harbinger ola more suspicious era in the
history of our country.
RESOLVED, That the Government so far
from being job to be administered for the
benefit of party, of which the President is
the head and grand Glmoner, the heresy
correctly ascribed by Mr.. Rives, to the po-
litcal system of MIR. Van Buren,, is, accord
ing to the often advocated opinion of Mr..
Clay, high and holy trust-the officers of
the Government Trustees, and that both the
trust and the Trustees were created for the
benefit Of the people. And that therefore,
it is impossible for the "People TO except
too much from the Government"
Resolued, That GEORGE WASHINGTON, the
Father of his country, and the President of
the Convention which formed our glorious
Constitution, having chartered the first Bank
of the United States, and signed the first
Bill for the protection of domestic manufac-
lures, to pronounce the one unconstitution-
, al, or the other anti-democratic, is in our
| opinion grossly to libel the memory of that
: ilIustrious man.
Resolred, That we heartily respond to
t the action of the Wing State Convention Of
: the 10th January, and pledge our best and
| hottest exertions to secure for the ably and
worthy electoral ticket by it adopted, the
: ratification of the people at the ballot boxes
: e5rWe have received communication
from our friends at Petersburgh which We
deem advisable not TO publish. We would
