both Of a State aud National character and
denounclng Jamas X. Polk, were also "a.

more Convention, together with the Dee
cation from some seventeen other states,
IN no other light than a set Of true Locoto.
COS recreant to their pledges and disre-
garding the instructions Of their cons'l'u-

Resolved, That we rcgard the attempts
that have been made here, in tie ditiercu,
