man, Charles stephens, and Joseph +. Roberts.
Resolved, Tha, we Will Use every honorable cxertion 10
elect tie nominees Of his convention.
Resolved, That Henry Clay is unworthy Of cur suppoit.
not only because Of HI, advocacy of an immers 81 Nauor al
Bank emit ely iTe>p1nsiblc to the g,veiumeni or the people f;
of a high protective taGtT for the benefit Of manufacture lag
capitalists Of The East, at the expense If The producers of HE
West; q a distribution Of the Land receipts for the tenelt
Of the rich AT the expense Of tho poor; Of a ban krupt Inv
framed for thc benefit principally Of s~windling Spectators,
and not such as the Constitution autlo ICES, and other mea-
sues inimical TO the general interests of the people but also
because ofhiS opposition 10 the special interests Of the west,hs
denuneiatijn Of squatteTs as land pirates and robbers, and Of
his opposition 10 the completion of the Cumberland Road, the
last appropriation FOR which he defeated BY his vote in thc
L.. s. Senate.
Resolved, That we regard with great qualification the e-
forts OF our representatives, and Senators i'll Congress 10 OBJ
thin an appropriation in favor Of the CunberInnd Rond at the
present SESSION; and tie good prospect which exists of
favorable result, notwithsi andins the bubbles Of Clay's
man Friday, Mr.. Cri,teuden. That W. belleve the interest,
Of the South and The East, rs well as of our own state and
Of Illinois are deeply concerned in obtaining a grant Of land
in the Vincennes district, for the completion of the Southern
division OF the Central Canal, and that Gen. Howard is en-
titled 10 the thanks of the people of Indiana for his cxerions
in this behalf.
Resolved. That the result Of the late election in New York
in which the Wings, knowing they were in a lean minority,
united with the "Nativists" in order TO compass the defeat Of
the democrats, evinces either that the Wings are hostile to
the interests and rights Of adopted citizens, OF that they are
willing TO sacrifice principles foI the sake of obtaining the
Jaokalls share Of the spoils of office.
Resolved, That if Clay cannot carry Connecticut, one oil
the largest manufacturing States, he has but a slim chance
IN any other. His friends now stand struggling in 4 minoIi-
~ of $50 votes in that State, having EXP crienccd the Iuinous
loss Of 1882 since 1910, and yet we hear Clay shouts Of
Clay victory in old Federal Connecticut, But they are Sc
constrained and forced, that the pain of producing them is
disire>singly apparent. They do not and cannot fail to see
that the ratio If their loss IN Connecticut, calculated upon
The Presidential vote OF 1910, when the whole number Of
votes given IN The Union was about 1901, $50, and the IIar-
Iison majority about I29, 7OO, If this ratio .: loss should rur
through the Union, would leave Cay III a minority of oyel
10000 in the popular vote.
On motion Of Joseph T. Roberts, the Convention adop,e,
the following resolution:
Resolved, That We, as democrats, viii give our cordial anC
hearty support to the nominees of the Baltimore Democrat.
Convcr tion.

in the various townships to form democratic clubs.
