Whereas, il is the duty of every American citi-

american people, especially those brought forward
Tor high and important stations; and whereas a can

mocratic citizens of Montgomery county, sustained
the hero of New Orleans, the first Veto President
we, as Democratic citizens Of Old Montgomery
pledge ourselves to sustain and will maintain John
Tyler, the second Veto champion Whereas, we
have witnessed with jealous eye tie political acts
of President Tyler since he has taken the helm of
State in his hand and have ascertained that he has
not been found wanting, but manlully sustained the
Constitution OF our country. We have come 20 the
conclusion that from the noble and learles stand he
took against the United States Bank, the bank of
fraud and corruption he, with the hero of New Or
leans, the protectors of the widows and orphans
and have saved Them from further ruin And where
as, we have seen from his past acts and nobeness of
heart that he IS for his country, and not for dollars
and cents Like Jefferson and Jackson he advocates
the rights OF man-berty to al-oppres ion TO none
Our motto therefore is, Tyler for President; Colonel
Richard NJ Johnson for Vice President Henry A.
Muhenburg for Governor, and Joseph Hartshu IN for
Canal Commissioner
Therefore resolved That in the opinion of this meet
ing, there is but one man who can be elected Pre-
sdent of the United States by the Democratic par
ty in A. and that man John Tyler of Virginia the
peoples candidate, the veto champion, who sustained
General Jackson when he vetoed the Bank monster
in 1892.
Resolved, That it is anti republican, as well as un-
safe, 10 Mr.. Van Buren, a third time for Presi-
dent, particularly when he was beaten by so large
vote in 1910.
dered to President Tyler for his BANK VETOES,
and that We large portion of the Democratic c
zens of Montgomery county, pledge ourselves to
support him for President at the next Presidential
