Resolved That this meeting enters their solemn
protest against the taken by the late Syracuse
Convention, which was controlled by a set Of worn
out and broken down political hacks Of Martin Van

the Democracy of the country.
Resolrtd That in casting our eyes over the whole

hard listed yeomanry anxious to do honor to honest
John Tyler, and gratitude calls for his nomination,
reward for the most important and self-sacrifc-
ing services rendered to the people.

AT NORWICH, CONNECTICUT.
On the 4th inst, (April,) the friends Of John
Tyler met at Norwich, Connecticut, to appoint
delegatesto the District Convention called in
that city, on the 18th instant. Joel w. White,
one of the most distinguished Democrats in the
State, and who voted for Mr.. Van Buren, in
1910, called the meeting TO order. E. G. Chap
man was made Chairman. The following re-
solutions speak for themselves:
Whereas the political signs of the times are omi-
of disaster TO the cause of Democracy through
out the country, in consequence Of the action Of
tain self elected leaders and sefconsttuted cliq ues
in pressing the claims of the defeated Presidential
candidate of ls4O upon the people for reelection
therefore
Resolved, That heartily approve of the proposed
plan Of holding another Democratic National Con-
venton in Baltimore, the same day, TO be com
posed Of delegates appointed by each congressional
district in each State coming fresh from the peo-
| Pile"
Resolved, That the friends of the present Admins
| traten, in this State, chiefly composed of the
early, staunch and constant supporters of Andrew
Jackson, and that in giving their influence and favor
TO John Tyler, they but eyince their admiration Of
| and attachment to, the same noble qualities which
characterized the official Of that eminent hero
| and statesman.
| r. soired, That we entertain no sentiments Of a
personal character against Mr.. Van Buren, that our
opposition TO him arises from want of respect TO
the man as an individual or as statesman but that
having been the candidate Of the party in Is 10
and beaten and the same existing to ender
second defeat in 1874 certain, if he is again rum we
deem his nomination at this time njudicous 10 the
| extreme.
Resoipes That the result Of the recent election in
this State furnishes another evidence of the truth OF
these scntimentsthe wings have raised the issue OF
"Clay or Van Buren," and unquestiopably Influenced
many democratic voters to stay at home while 9th.
crs were driven into their own ranks and that il is
| our firm belief had this truly bees the issue we
should have been defeated by a most overw helming
majority
Rsopsd, That it bchooves all true democrats to be
looking about thcm-to consider well the course 10
be pursued-and to unite in good faith with each
other in the matter OF selecting a Presidential
candidate, whose baie-cry shall be the presagc OF
| victory
