Mr. Kellogg, in behalf of the committee
Oh resolutions offered the following,
/. Resolved, That the result of the re-
cent Presidential election exhibits another
cheering proof of the devotion of the A.
merlcan people to the great principles of
the Democratic creed, and is most deci-
sive demonstration that the integrity of,he
masses cannot be permanently corrupted
by the arts and combinations of the anti
republican factions, or by the appliances
and lmpostures which were so fruitful in
foul results in lS40.
2. Rcsolrcd, That as we rejoiced that
the highest trusts Of our government were
committed to the men who now compose
the National Administration so we now
pledge to them our earnest and hearty
support, in the confidence that the
course and policy of the government will
be distinguished by its faithful exempIi-
fcalion Of those great principles of action
which were prominent in the administra-
ton of Jefferson, Jackson, aud Van Bu-
ren, and which the popular Judgment has
approved as being most benehclent in
their influence upon the enduring interests
ofthe American Union and people.
3. ResOlced, That the recent decease
of Andrew jackson presents fitting oc.
casion for the expression Of our admiration
ola life which pre-eminentIy distinguished
on the battle field and in the cabinet by
great and glorious deeds; and that we
cherish the recollection of his genuine A.
mcrican feeling and Astounding patriotism
as among the noblcst and most imperisha-
bic of our national treasures.
4. Res0lred, That we repudiate and
condemn in the most decisive terms the
reasonable sentiments which have obtain
ed currency in the Executive and Legisla-
tive departments of the government of our
own state, as unfriendIv to the mainlen-
ance Of the Union Of the states; the preser-
walton Of which was enjoined upon us by
the llIustrious ashington; and that it is
our most sacred political duty to lrown
upon any attempt to weaken its bonds or
depreclate its value.
5. ResOlred, That the remuneration of
Texas and the occupation Of Oregon are
great American measurs, the consumaton
of which, in our belief, will advance the
interests and increase the prosperity and
power Of the republic.
6. Rtsoired, That we recognize in the
state and county Democratic nominations,
men who are capable and faithful republic
cans, and that they deserve and shall re-
ccive onr jealous support.
