The democratic Young Hickory Club met pur-
suant TO adjournment, and adopted the constiiu.
ton and bylaws reported by the committee, ap-
IpoInted at the last meeting to draught the same
and then it was signed by thirty mcmbers with
assurances that they would support James K
Polk for President and George M. Dallas fol
Vice President, David Tod for Governor, and
also the nominees Of the democratic convention
of Jefferson Co.
The Club then proceeded to elect the officers
prescribed in the constitution, Whereupon Amos
Jones was elected President, David Chambers,
vice President, II. p. Guthrie, Secretary, and C.
hithcau Treasurer
The President then taking the chair, returned
his thanks 10 the Club, for the unexpected hon
Ior conferred upon him, in very appropriate ad-
dress, and gave assurances that he would dis
charge the duties Of his office to the best of his
ability
The following preamble and resolutions were
offered, and adopted unanimously:
Whereas, recent events in the city Of New
York, Philadelphia and elsewhere within the T.
nted States, show that attempts are being made
to excite feelings Of contempt and hatred in the
breasts Of one portion of our citizens against ano-
thcr, and TO make the accident of birth the only
qualification for office or the elective franchise
And Whereas, the whjg party in the City of
New York, at the last election for Mayor, having
abandoned their own candidate and Joined with
the Native American party, and fought under
their banners for measures, which, if carried out
would prove destructive to the principles upon
WHICH our republican form Of Government was
founded
And Whereas, the Hon. w. S. Archer, whig
Senator from the State of Virginia in Congress.
IN presenting memorials TO Congress for an al
teration in the naturalization laws, so as TO re-
qure all foreigners to be in the country 81 years
before they could exercise the elective franchise,
said that he would do all in his power to get
such law passed at the earliest time practica-
BILE, the leading object Of which. is to make the
place Of birth the test in all our electors s.
Therefore
Resolved, That we view The formation of Ma
tive American societies, making nvidous dis
tnctons between the citizens by birth and the
citizens by choice, as at war with the spirit of
our republican institutions, and a base libel on
the declaration Of independence and the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Resolved, That acenes of riot and murder
have occurred in the city Of PHILADELPHIA, which
are to be viewed with fear and Indignation: fear
for the safety and continuance Of our free and re-
publican form Of Government, if such things be
and indignation, that churches
dedicated to the worship of the living God,
should be burned, and those who defended lhemI
murdered, Seminares and Libraries DESTROYED.
and detenceless women and children driven from
their houses to escape the fury Of fends, calling
themselves Native Americans
Resolved, That while the democracy of ourI
country have denounced and opposed Native A.
mericanism from its birth to the present time,
whlggery has encouraged and cordially embra-
oed i, as many of the whig prints are now
warmly defending and supporting it.
Resolved That the memory of Lafayette, |
Warren, De Kalb, Pulaski, and 9th
er foreigners, are too fresh in our memories, toI
virtually exclude their countrymen from our land,
while we have millions of uncultvaied land toI
settle.
Resolved That we are in favor of a Tariff laidI
strictly for revenue, sufficiently ample for the
economical wants Of the government, and that
we are opposed to any vacuums being created, |
by the distribution Of the proceeds of the publicI
ands, among the States, or any assumption of
be State debts, for the purpose Of taxing the
people.
Resolved, That we consider Congress has no
power under the constitution to charter a Uni
ed States Bank, and if it had the power, we con
iider il tinexpedient and uncailed for, when view
ng the distress and misery the last United
States Bank brought on the country.
Resolved, That copy of the proceedings Of
his meeting be sent to the American Union,
Ohio Statesman, and Cadiz Sentinel, for publ
,ation
On motion, the Club adjourned TO meet al
he Council Chamber, on Saturday the 20th Of
he present month.
