Evans OF ElkIon, after Which the follow

united and unanimously adopted.
MN rcns, the lime is fast approaching
when we shall again be called upon to
exercise the privilege dearest 10 freeman,
viz: the ight of The elective franchise, in
choosing officers to discharge the most
important functions of our state and gen.
eral government, and whereas the names
OF HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky, and The
oDoRE FRELlNGHUYsEN, of New York,
have been presented To the American peo-
pie, as candidates for the office of Presi-
nd r. Il,
States, Therefore,
Resolced, unanimously, that the demo
cratic wings Of Cecil county, cordially,
heartily and enthusiastically respond to
aud raIly these nominations, and that
they stall receive our individual co. oper-
ton aud support and we will by every
honest and honorable means within our
power, endeavor to secure their election,
and thereby bring back our government,
to the pure principles Of Jetlersonian De
mocracy.
ResolUcd, That we recognise in our
candidate fpr the Presidency, true wing,
an able statesman, and pure patriot, one
who has never iallercd III his attachment
and adherence TO the constitution and the
cardinal principles of the wing party. In
HIM we recognise the founder and father
OF the great American system, the friend
and defender of the farmer, mechanic, aud
working man against the free trade here
sizes of the Polk Dynasty and the pauper
lab ourer Of Europe. His craftsmanship
and patriotism have been tried in the fur
mace, during the warmtst times Of polti-
cal strife and party excitement, and lie is
now found, as he ever has been, advocat-
ing the same policy, and enforcing the
same principles of liberal government,
which claim for him, more than any other
man, the whole soued sutlrages of the
entire American people.
Rcsoiced, That we acknowledge with
pleasure, the nomination of Theodore
Frelinghuysen, for the Vice Presidency
as tribute due to his moral north and
ability as statesman, n man en.inently
calculated IN every point OF moral,
intellectual and political qualifications to
harmonlse and concentrate the entire wing
constituency of the whole country. his
private as well as his political character,
stands forth without blemish which so
we'll qualities him to be placed on the same
ticket, side by side, with the ''man of the
West" and we hail their election as a
bright harbinger, of the speedy dispersion
Of the clouds of notification, annexation,
and disunion, which are now lowering
over our institutions and government.
We deem the character and standing of
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, too elevated to be
reached by the attacks of puny, polirica!
demagogues, and the shafts OF the horde
OF editors and idle scribblers, glancing
from his christian mail, return to rankIe
III their own corrupt hearts.
Resolred, That we dearly cherish the
dying legacy of the veneraled Harrison,
