WHEREAS; CoOnery received in prospect its political
death on the 10Th u, in the nomination Of our Demo-
cratic President and Vice President at the Baltimore
Convention and whereas the whggies stand aghast as
did Belchezzar at the unanimity in our Convention
when dissafection and disorganzation in our ranks
were houed for by our common enemy and the fast
friends of the aristocracy
ResOcusd, That in the nomination of JAMES X. Polk
for President and GEO. NJ DALLAS for Vice President
we congratulate ourselves on having champions in the
field who will reflect honor the Democratic party
for their eminent services in days Of trouble when the
political horizon was clouded and and the pampered
nabobs were attempting to wrest from the cap OF Lber
ty its highest feathers 800
Resolved That the strongest evidence of the existence
OF harmonizng spirit amongst US, was most clearly
manifested in every section of our happy Republic in
the virtual surrender of their preferences for their tavo-
rites and concentrating to man upon the present nom
nees it is an earnest Of the determination OF the DEM
ocracy TO move in one anbroken phalanx to the ballot
box and rear the Democratic standard over the graves
of the skinned coons.
RssOlved That we pledge ourselves to support the
nominees of the Democratic Convention and preml-
um will be offered after the election to the person who
will furnish the greatest number of coonskins.
Resolved, That "Hary of the Wes," for his Ian
guage to James X! Polk the Democratic nominee, and
then their Speaker of the Honse of Representatives
Go home, God damn yOHi" will hear the same pain
full words doling in his ears in November next (only
stripped of its profanity the sovereign people will then
say, "gO home, Harry, yot can't come Il" !"
ResOlped That we believe when portion OF the
people secede from the nation to which they were at
tached and sustain themselves in that secession, SO as
to become an independent naion and acknowledged as
such by other nations and the nation from which they
detatch themselves is unable to reconquer it that they
are and of right ought to be entitled to all of the prv
leges in their intercourse with our Government as are
granted 10 the most favored nations.
Rs0lued, That we believe that Mexico in her war
fare against the citizens OF Texas did violate all of the
rules that govern nations at war with each other by her
babarous nhuman and indiscriminate massacre OF all
of the citizens Of Texas that fell into her power and
thereby showed herself 10 be entirely destitute OF the
feelings of humanity and that her course in that war
was in direct contraventon to the usages Of civilized
and enlightened nations and therefore merits from US
in our intercourse with her the same treatment: as bar
barians. rts ,- .,,'- poi,
Resolved That as Texas has been acknowledged by
ours and other Governments to be an independent nation
we have The rghto form treaties on all subjects nocon-
icng with the constitutions of either country; and that
any treaty with our government now or hereafter made
for the annexation of Texas to the United States for the
common baneft of both nations would be in accordance
10 principles that Govern nations in their inter course
with each other. -4a.-l @# 5.7s .+s-'-
