support and approving voice OF large majority Of
the American people.
Resolved, That this convention regards the re-an-
nexaton Of Texas TO this confederacy a. the great
and leading measure Of the age. Maugre the efforts
and arts Of English and French diplomacy on the
one hand, and the silly bravado Of the Mexican gov

The success of the measure win teach monarchiss,
both of the Old and Nav World, that no power,

must"
Resolved, That we regard the tariff act Of 1642
as "unequal unjust, and oppressive;" that il is a
cardinal doctrine with the democracy of Western
New York, and, as such, formed one of the issues
Of the last presidential campaign, viz: that tariff
should be laid not for the purpose and sake of pro-
lection, but for tho sole purpose Of raising revenue
sufficient to defray the expenses of government
nomically administered; and that the tariff thus laid
should be adjusted, that all the great interests of
the country should be equally benefited by what
ever incidental protection such tariff would af-
ford.
Resolved, That in the estimation of this conven-
ton the three great and leading issues tried at the
presidential canvass Of ~, were as follows:
The remuneration of Texas, and the undivided
occupation Of Oregon; an adjustment of the tariff
upon proper basis; and the rc-estabshment of the
W. koSss
pronounced verdict in favor of all these measures,
we leave il TO the President and Congress TO make
up and sign the record.

in the wisdom, integrity, and patriotism Of his ex
celency Sias Wright BY firm and undertaking
adherence 70 the landmarks Of democratic policy, in
his administration Of the government of this State,
he has fully met the views and expectations Of the
large constituency which elevated him TO his present
high seat Of honor and authority.
Resolved That we are highly gratifed at the faith
full sincere and able manner in which Hon. Addison
Gardiner discharges his duties as lieutenant gov
ernor of this State. Respect and confidence, which
him sminenty united. His sterling good sense
and inconuptibe integrity safe guarantee that
our confidence in him has not been misplaced.
Rssosvsd That we have learned with pain and
modification Of the scenes Of outrage, violence, and
boodshcd, originating in anti-rentism, which have
disgraced some Of the eastern portions OF this
Staic The prompt and efficient action of the pro-
per authorities Of the State to arrest the evil, is
worthy of the highest commentator.

furnished the greater part of the funds for the exn
guishment of the principal and interest of the public
debt, policy requires that the tolls should be 90
adjusted a. 70 produce the largest amount Of
revenue consistently with the securing Of the trade
and business Of ths West. That, for this purpose,
the tolls on many articles be reduced az to permit
properly 70 be transported, which is now excluded
from the canal by the high rate Of tolls And par
tculary should the tolls be adjusted, a. to secure
the Erie canal against the composition ola rival and
foreign work, which has diverted large portion of
the legitimate trade Of the canal from the western por

miles of canal while il has enabled the citizen of
the western States to send his produce to market at
a less rate than can the farmer in the eighth dis
