DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN YOUNG MEMS GEN
ERAL COMMITTEE OF NEW YORK CITY.
At the regular monthly meeting of this committee,
held at Tammany Hall, on the Sd OF December,
l645, the following resolutions were adopted with
out dissenting voice:
Resolved, That the New YoRK DAILY GLOBE, by
its bold manly, and independent course-by Its
freedom from connection with all intestine factions,
and especially by its advocacy of all the cardinal
principles of progressive democracy, commends IT.
self to the cordial appreciation and support Of the
democratic party; that in advocating the establish
ment of AN Independent treasury for the State and
constitutional treasury for the national government
lin advocating the practical application of the sound
democratic doctrine of rotation in ofice-in advoca-
ting our title 10 Texas TO the Rio Grande and in Or
egon TO the Russian boundary-n advocating the
rights of naturazed citizens TO equality Of privilege
in advocating amendments to the constitution, pro-
hbitng the State from engaging in constructing, or
oaning its credit moneys TO construct any rail-
road or cuna-prohibiting the State from imposing
greater tolls after the present State debt shall have
been paid and the present State canals and the Erie
canal enlargement shall have been completed, than
may be necessary to pay the expenses of their re-
pair and superintendent, and the expenses of the
civil government Of this State--prohbtng NEGROES
from participating in the government of this State by
voting extending the right of suffrage to the peo-
ple by allowing them to elect ALL or the greater part,
of the officers now elected by the legislature or APP
judicial and legislative departments and recognizing
the judicial department of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ring upon boards Of supervisors, legislative powers
for local purposes, and establishing biennial meet
ngs of the egisature-refects fully truly, and just
ly the sentiments of the sound democracy of this
city.
Resolved, That the assertions of the Albany Argus
and the Albany Atlas that there are ''two sections
Of the democratic paryn-in other words that il is
divided into two parties-are, in our judgment, I'M
true that we do not regard the wranges and dis
pues of those papers, and of those they represent,
as constituting party division; and in this city we
are united and strong, and that we believe that the
elements of union and strength exist in every por-
ton of the State; that we are constrained to say,
that, in our judgment, the only eifectual course
to rid u.s. as party, of the evils of dssenson, to
abstain from political fellowship with those who
cause the discussions, and are diligent in tanning
the emhers of discord in party generally united on
leading principles, and DESTROYS Of harmony within
itself.
RESOLVED, That we invite the democratic papers
in the State publish the foregoing resolutions, and
respectfully solicit that they urge the democrats OF
their respective counties TO discard faction and re-
organize tho democratic party on the same founda-
ton of principle And we do further
Resolve That the message of James X. Polk to
the Congress of the United Sates--the high Ameri-
can tone which distinguishes it on the questions
of the annexation of Texas and the occupation of
Oregon--the unmisakable position it assumes in
opposition to the interference of European govern
ments in the affairs of this and the other American
republics the clear and enlightened views il con-
tains on the questions of the tariff and the discon-
nexion of banks from government--the enlarged
patriotism which marks its every detail, awaken in
this committee feelings Of pride and EMULATION.
That we regard it thorough exposition and re-
Election of the sentiment of the American people, so
plain and to the point that the position and policy
of the republican party is no longer a matter of
question or dispute. That we look upon this mes
sage as the great chart indicative of the cour5o of
the democracy of the nation-a chart worthy the
nge in which we live--the great party which placed
Mr. Polk in the chair of state and the government
which he has the honor to administer. That we
feel amply repaid in the pc rusal of this message for
the services incident to the contest which proclaim
James X Polk President of the confederacy. And
that this committee representing the democratic
publican young men of the city of New York, ex-
tend to him pledge of hearty, unqualified, and
uncompromslng support.
Rssoired, That copies OF these resolutions be
transmitted by the secretary to the President Of The
United States, senators in Congress, the Hon.
w. B. MacIay, the Governor Of the State and to
delegates the State legislature; and that they
be published in the Washington "Union," and in
all the democratic newspapers of this city.
