to the Presidency, to-wit:
81 will ask, what is the real situation of
the agriculturalist? Where has the Ameri-
can Farmer a market for his su rplus pro-
ducts? Except for cotton, he neither has a
foreign nor a home market. Does this not
clearly prove, when there is no market eth
er at home or abroad, that there is too much
labor employed in agriculture, and that the
channels for labor should be multiplied
Common sense points out at once the reme-
dy. Draw from agriculture this superabund-
ant labor-employ it in mechanism and man
ufactures, thereby erecting a HOME MAR
KET for your bread-stulls and distributing
labor 10 the most profitable amounts and
benefits for the country will result. In short
sir, we have been too long subjected to the
policy ofBRITISH merchants! Ii is time
we should become a little more AMERI-
CANIZED!"
ReSolred, That we repudiate as undeserv-
ing of support or countenance, all politicians
who agree with Mr.. Van Buren, in his letter
ofthe 18th of Feb. 1S43-wherc he says:
81 have at no time or any where hcsitated TO
express my decided disapprobation of the
tariff act of last session, as well in respect TO
the principle upon which it is founded, as to
its detail"
Resolued, That on the subject of the Tar.
if-so Far from agreeing with Gen. Howard,
of this State, ''that if we did not need mo-
ney for the support OF the Governments, we
should have NO TARIFF, and whenever
the necessity ceases, THE TARIFF
SHOULD CEASE"-we are directly on
the other side of that question-and say that
the tariff should never cease, so long as the
/, forced productions of the Paupers and Vas
sails of foreign kings drag down the products
: of the free American Laborer to their starry
: ing standard-nor so long as the balance o
r trade runs against our OWL counlry-for We
hold, so long as these ends are unattained-
! the theory only, and not the practice, of the
e principles introduced in the American Rev
e oluilon, will have been established.
RcsoIred, That as TO the Public lands W,
approve of the sentiments Of Gen. Jacksol
: as expressed in his annual Message OF lS3;
i that having been seeded 10 the Unite'
/ States, for the purpose of general harmony

ResoIyed, That we abhor the doctrine {
Mr.. Van Buren, in his special Message {
" Sept. 4th, lS37-that "aU communities an
