/ ported through Mr.. Mcdowell, their Chairman,
the ~lolloWin. resolutions, which were paGnta1nS-
~ adopted:
RSs}rcJ, Tia, We s~inccrcl? and cordially aP-
prove OF The nomination OF Col. James IL. Polk,
the Young Hickory" OF Tennessee, The bosom
friend and n~cighfor of Gen. jackson, as our can
didatc Tor The Presidency Of The u. =, AMI we
chccriullv and heartily respond 10 The nomlna-
ton OF George NJ. Dallas. the talented statesman
of the good old keystone State of Pennsylvania,
for The Vice Presidency, and ne pledge ourselves
10 give them in old BolctouIt one oil our OLD Ia
shioncd majoritics in November next.
R.Soircd. That in Henry Clay, The Coon can
didate Tor The Presidency, we still recognise Inc
same old Federal Coon leader that We 81 signal
~ rcpudiated and condemned by our votes III
1921 and in 1882; the same advocate OF the nm
constitutional measures OF IA high protective Ia
riff. an eyiravagant system of Internal Improve
menl by the General Government, and a coirupt
Rank, that he was so l0rcibly represented by the
Conservative leaders of Botctourl TO be in 1856;
and, in his late miserable. trucking An,i-Iexas
letter, Ia concilia!c the Aboliiionisis of the North,
We recognise him 10 he the same corrupt bargain
er for office that he was represented 10 he in 1850,
10y the same Conservative leaders 10 have been,
when, in 1926. he procured for himself the Office
OF Secretary Of State, lc defeating the election OF
Gen. jackson, and making John Quincy Adams
President.
ReNirc@, That, however men may change,
the cardinal principles of the Democratic party
never change: and we have the proud satisiac-
ton of proclaiming 10 the world, that the great
body OF The Democracy Of Old Botctoull have
always adhered 10 these principles, in despite oil
the coonerv and builoonery of The Wings, or The
dictalion or threats OF renegade Republicans, and
we defy the world 10 point out a single instance
wherein we have deviated from these principles.
We opposed the aristocratic Federal measures
OF Henry Clay in 1921, in 1925, in 1882, and in
ls36; and, in November next, in connection
with the Democracy of the Union, We will give
him another Waterloo defeat that he will relncm-
Der throngh all time 10 come.
Rcsoired. That whatever course the Conserva-
tive leaders may take. we are rejoiced 10 iind'tlai
the rank and file of that party in this county, the
industrious farmers OF the county, are loo honest
TO be carried 10 the support Henry Clay. They
were among The warlncst supporters oi"OW INK
~R" in 1921, in 1898 and 1882, when he ran
against Adams and Clay, and we hail with unal-
loycd pleasure, the evidences, we daily have OF
their determination 10 shoulder their arms in 1911
in behalf of his friend and namcsakc "lOUNG
HICKORY" against the same Henry Clay.

tie old Federal spirit Of 1900 now revived by the
