and steady execution of that purpose is indls-
pensable to the securing Of the true indepen-
dence and permanent prosperity Of the coun-

ReSolred, That the public domain is, emf
of the States of this union,-that the pro-
ceeds of its sales ought not to be mingled
with the ordinary revenues Of the federal gov
eminent, 10 aid in de(raying its ordinary ex-
penses, but should be set apart and sacredly
appropriated, as it may and will be, upon its
distribution among the states, TO the purpose
of facilitating the intercourse and binding to-
gether the members, of our great political
family, aud above all, of improving the heart
and the mind Of the nation, and thus giving
10 our free institutions stability and perTna
nency, to be equaled only by the stability and
permanency of the National Domain itself.
ResoLced, That Henry Clay deserves the
lasting gratitude of this nation, for his sagGc-
ty in perceiving its true interests OH this great
question, and his irmness and perseverance
N maintaining them.
Resolred, That we heartily respond to the
nomination by the Baltimore Convention Of
Henry Clay for the Chief Magistracy of the
nation,-a distinction which he has well earn
ed, and for which he is eminenly itted,by his
talents-his long experience
his faithful services-his manly frankncss--
his ardent patriotism-his national feelings,
and his practically useful life.
Resotred, That we hail the nomination of
Il
Vice President of the United States, because
he is good and a true man-rich in expe-
Renee, and pare, firm and elevated in purpose;
and because his whole life is an assurance
that his elevation can, by no possible contiu-
gency indict upon the country another acting
President who will be faithess to his friends
and false to his principles.
ResoLred, That we deprecate the annexa-
fIun nf a.
reparabie national evil, and regard the indie
oendence of Mr.. Clay in his frank and man
y letter on this subject, as worthy Of all COM
nendation, and as constituting strong guar
lnty that the measure, so inevitably fatal to
he permanency of the Union, will never be
adopted.
Resoired, That the misrule that has fol-
owed the elevation of Gen. Jackson to the
Presidency is enough for all time; and that
We intend to do what we can to make and end
# it forever.
