We have seen with surprise movement by
some democrats, calculated to produce an erroneous
impression as TO the position Of the democratic par

the policy Of the national administration.
Having fully concurred in, and with entire una
nimity supported the principles set forth by the
democratic national convention at Baltimore, and its
nominees, James h. Polk and G. M. Dallas, we
conceive il to be our duty to declare sentiments,
and to deny that the late informal meeting at the
Exchange Hotel, or the Hollidaysburg convention,
expresses the opinions Of the democracy, or meets
with their appreciation. Therefore
Resoiptd, That we have undiminshed confidence
in the honesty and integrity of President Polk that
he will carry on faithfully the principles upon which
he was elected; and that he will prove himself wor-
thy Of the trust conided to his hands
Resolved, That we now, as VIC were IA lS4O
and 1884, in favor of a revenue tarifi-aifordlng
such protection to agriculture, commerce. naviga-
ton and the mechanic arts, as that object will adj
nit Of; even-handed Justice forbids the oppression
or burdenng Of portion Of the Union or class Of
citizens in order to protect and cherish another.
All should be fostered alike by the government.
Resolved, That we hail with pleasure the pros
pect of the speedy remuneration of"Texas to the
Rio Grande,u 10 the United States, and that we are
in favor Of Congress giving England immediate no
tice that the Joint occupation of the Oregon Terri
tory shall cease according to treaty stiPulations in
one year.
Resolved, That we will sustain President Polk in
his declaration Of our right being clear and unques-
tionable to the Territory Of Oregon, and that we
are opposed to any dictation from foreign powers
in regard to our affairs on the continent Of Amer
lea.
There being no further business before the meet.
