3 iweu Address, whcu lie tooc AMI Icdu that pAutou
document in a altogether worthy Of its higl
merits.
On motion of Col. Andrews, a committee oil hs'
persons appointed TO retire and prepare rcsolu
tons 10 be- adopted by the convention
During the absence Of the committee, Thomas
English, Esq was invited 10 address the convention
which he did IN very able manner. The Doctor1
remarks were truly eloquent, and made deep i'm
preston upon the members OF the convention. II
hoped that that he will furnish his address Tor PUB
LEGATION.
The committee having returned, submitted the fol
lowing resolutions, which were read by Col. Andrews
the chairman, and were unanimously adopted by the
convention;
Resolved That we present the name OF John 'ly-
Ter, Of Virginia for the high Office OF President Of
the Unied States. FHsi, Because IN early life he was
thoroughly mbued with the true principles OF Jei
fersonian Democracy, and has throughout his whole
public shown that he is the fearless add sue
cessful defender of the Constitution from assaults
against IL, come from what quarter they may
Secondly Because, when both Houses Of Congress
passed a charter for Bank OF the United States, he
felt IL TO be his sacred duty under his solemn oath to
the Constitution regardless Of personal consdera-
tons to put his deliberate veto upon the bill better
grathed with the approval Of his own conscience
han the applause of the advocates Of United States
Bank
Thirdly, Because President Tyler since his acces,
sion 10 the Executive chair, not only in every city
town, village and hamlet, but also in both Houses OF
III
States has been enthusiastically thanked by the
members of the great Democratic family for his
Constitutional Bank Vetoee, thus evening IN the most
decided manner his universal popularity with the
bone and sinew OF the Democracy Of the whole Re-
public
Fourbtiy, Because as the body Of the Democracy
have thus eve where backed and sustained President
Tyers vctocs, by professions, lumnaiIons and res
olutons and in the papers Of the whole Union no one
can fail 10 believe that they are anxiously waiting to
i1x, IND. f..rh Nefn
that they did to General Jackson When they elected
him to the Presidency SO ulumPhantly for his veto
! in 1892
| Filthy Because a ut, discriminating and high
minded party incapable Of such gross injustice to
take the aurels won by President Tyler and bind
them round The brows of another candidate. What
ever few politicians may desire in this way, the
people will irown down such attempts, and openly
rebukc the candidate who shall attempt to wear the
robes of victory that belong to another and because
his administration has been conducted upon the prn
cPes of impara1ity, with an eye to the interest Of
the whole country
Resoirsd That in the opinion Of this meeting il is
highly .Xpedicnt that John Tyler should be nominated
the candidate of the Democratic party because he
will be able to bring what other candidate can
bring into the approaching Presidential canvass, the
magic u his Bank petoes, upon which he will run
successfully as General Jackson did upon his Bank
Veto when the people of this country reelected him
to the 2. esidency by so triumphant majority.
of the last Presidential contest, and all who
engaged in it, rresstby led to the conclusion
that 1t would be Of madness to 20 into the fight
with the same beaten leader, or any other that fell
with him IN the defeat, when we mud who
during his administration has done 10 revive the
dropping spirits of the Democracy than any other
candidate before the people by raising direct issue
between the Democrats and the Wings, upon the ques
ton Of his bank vetoes, which the people have so
loudly applauded in all parts of 1.-THE Union.

political parties to direct ssae-Mr Tyler being

Resolrtd, That as John Tyler, OF Virginia, when
mt mber Of the United States Senate, recorded his
vote IN favor OF Gen. Jacksons Veto of the Bank of
the United States, that no Wing has right to ques
ton the purity Of his conduct when in MAINTENANCE,
OF his old Jeiiersonian principles he vetoed the two
