Democrat and for these acts, II Is the duty OF The
Democratic party to put him on trial before the ooun
try as their sole candidate for the Presidency against
the champion of the money power, Mr. Clay.
Resolved, That II II was just for the Democratic
party 10 put General Jackson trial before the cleo
tors Of the Republic for vetoing National Bank
when he had that very party TO support him, 1t IS
hundred fold JUST nay jsie absolutely requires
IT, that Mr.. Ty should be permitted TO appeal To
the jury OF his countymen 10 receive their aPproba-
ton condemnation for hoice yeiong National
Bank, without any party at his back aud all parties
against him.
Resolved, That this Convention do approve Of the
call by the FRIENDS of the Administration IN Ono,
Pennsy lvana and Virginia, of National Conven-
ton 10 be held IN Baltimore city, on the 2Iih oil May
ensuing, for the purpose Of nominating Mr. Tyler Tor
the Presidency aud taking such other steps as the
cause Of true Democracy may seem, at the time, TO
require for its success, al the approaching election for
President
Resolved, That this Convention do tender their
heartfelt thanks to Mr.. Tyler for twice recommend
ing to Congress To remit the fine imposed upon Gene
raj Jackson by Judge Hall, and they regard the at
tempts that have been recently made to give credit
to Mr. Van Buren, for these recommendations, as an
artihce 10 screen the latter individual from blame for
not calling the attention Of Congress to the subject
during the whole four years Of his Presidency.
Resolved, That this Convention do estimate with
unmtgated contempt, the constant efforts that have
been made and are daily making by portion OF the
Democrats Wing press, and by number OF Demo
cratic aud Wing speakers and speakers in and out Of
Congress to detract from the Just fame and reputa
tior of Mr. Tyler by refusing TO allow him any credit
for. the settlement Of the North Eastern boundary
the collection OF some millions of dollars Of debt due
TO Us by Mexico, the closing of the Florida war, the
saving Of the proceeds Of the public lands to the
tona treasury, the banishng of all defauters from
the public service, the execution of laws against
the slave trade upon the coast OF Africa, the sending
out Of missions to China and thousand other acts
Of almost equal Importance.
Resolved, That this Convention do look with iBdg-
nation upon the exerlons now making by ultra part-
and jealous rivals to take away, by anticipation
the merit that is destined to rcle the brow Of Pre-
stent Tyler for settling the balance of claims
Mexico for admitting Texas into the Union, and for
ending the only remaining dispute we have with Eng
and, the Oregon boundary. They do regard all
these attempts to deprive our Chief Magistrate Of
what is his just due the carnations OF minds that
dread to be brought within the light Of his superior
intellect, devoted it is entirely TO the good of his
country, lest their weakness might be discovered.
Resolped, That this Convention do behold with
alarm, the recent advocacy by the New York Legis-
lature, composed OF majority of Mr. Van Buren, s
friends of the receipt OF abolition petitions into Con-
gess, and the assertion by that body of the right Of
Congress to abolish slavery.
Resolred, That Martin Van Buren,, in repelling the
overtures # Texas constitutional grounds, during
his Presidential tern TO be re-anneXed to the United
States inflicted an injury upon the interests Of this
country, which he can never repair and that John
Tyler If It be true charged has sought TO heal the
wounds given by his predecessors to the pride and
feelings OF Texas, by endeavorng to lead her back
into the bosom OF that family from which she was un-
wisely aud unnaturally elected has conferred ben
eft upon the American People, which enhances, in
immeasufabe degree, the debt Of gratitude TO
Chief Magistrate.
Resoired That We the friends Of John Tyler, pro-
test IN the name OF truth and justice against the ef-
forts made to transfer to Others the credit due to him
for the eminenuy successful manner in which he has
administered the government, under circumstances OF
trial and difficulty unknown 10 any one of his prede
cessors
ResOlred, That those Democratic leaders who have
sought to pre- udice the public mind against Mr. Ty
Ter, by cautiously Directing to the Treaty of Wash
ington because Of the transfer Of The few acres Of
barren and worthless land assumed by them TO have
belonged 10 the United States in the settlement of
the boundary line between Maine and the British pos
session in North America, by which UNNECESSARILY
greater advantages were obtained, and a controversy
battling every preceding administration, finally hon
orably and sat sfacory terminated, pay but a poor
compliment to the lligence, justice and patriotism
OF the American people for the whole object Of their
conduct is no, only TO shield MIR Van Buren, from an
act 10y which hundreds of millions of acres of the
richest SOIL IN the world were lost TO for the time
being, but TO take from Mr. Tyler the credit of an
act now about to be consummated, ty VIII ch the i'm
meme territory OF Texas will be restored TO its right
full owners
Resolved, That the President Of this convention in
c"nJunctlon with ITS officers, hereby requ sed 10
appoint Stale Central Committee TO consist Of III
