The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-12-20

| Resoired, That in recommending the creation Of
constitutional treasury, the President has exhb-
tied his enlightened craftsmanship and true regard
tor the spirit of the constitution, (which never IN
tended that the money Of the people should be kept
in institutions not under their conron and that his
| views aud recommendations in this respect meet
hearty and cordial response from the democracy Of
| Ohio; that we hail the recommendation with deep
and abiding satisfaction, believing il will hasten The
period Of the entire and perpetual triumph Of our
principles over that spirit of legislation which ere
aes banking Institutions which, III the language Of
| the message, we hold TO be pregnant with casual
ties and exercises, reyulsions suspensions, defaca
tons, over'issues, oyer-radng, and an inordinate
lesreJor gam"
RGSoirtd, That the pre- emptions and grajualons
recommended Ivy the President 10 protect the hardy
and brave pioneers of the West from the rapacity Of
the graspng specuaJor and banker, merit the ardent
gratitude OF every patriotic citizen OF the West.
Resolred That in the Presidents recommendations
for the modification Of the existing tariff, we recognise
the sound democratic doctrine ofequal hts to ALL
special privileges TO none; and that we recommend
to every member of the democratic party, be he
private citizen or legislator, the adoption Of the
following sentiments, from the Presidents message,
as the standard of his political action:
"The government in theory knows no distinction
Of persons or classes, and should not bestow upon
some favors and privileges which all others may
enjoy. II was the purpose Of its ilustrious founders
TO base the institutions which they reared upon the
ty conscious that If administered in the spirit in
which they conceived, they would be felt only
by the benefits which they diffused, and would Sc
cure for themselves defence in the hearts of the
people, more powerful than standing armies, and all
the means and appliances invented to sustain govern
ments founded IN injustice aud oppression"
Resolred, That the message of President Polk
one of the first fruits of glorious democratic victory
affords another striking illustration of the truth
that the only hope for the permanent success of the
democratic party consists in rigid adherence to
sound democratic principles, relying upon their
al force and beauty, and the intelligence and patriot
ism of the people, for victory. As democrats, we
adopt political principles after mature deliberations
aud thorough conviction of their justice, and when
so adopted, we never abandon them.
Hon. T. ]. Gallagher, Of Cincinnati, was called
upon to address the meeting, which call was re-
sponded to as follows:
T. J. Gallagher, of Cincinnati, in response to the
call of the meeting, said that, however willing he
was to render tribute Of admiration and hearty APP
proval to the truly democratic message of great
President he felt that after the thoughtful analysis
of his distinguished and experienced friend, Col.
Medary anything he might be able to say would
be of but little force He felt, however that citi
zens of the great empire State of the West, 1t was
peculiarly fitting that should, from our State cap
al, send the first enthusiastic response to message
that was in such perfect harmony with the SYM
pathies of the people of the entire valley Of the Mis-
sissipp. The document WAS in all things, worthy
Of the pupil of the illusrious Jackson. The mantle
of the departed sage and hero had fallen upon one
every way worthy.
The message gave assurance to all that their
rights were guarded and cared for. The rich man.
facturer Of the North, and the hardy western pio-
in his forest home, would, in reading the mes
sage, alike feel that the spirit of democratic legisa-
ton was again paramount in our repubc; and the
lover of equal rights and equal laws everywhere,
would shout hearty response to the truly demo-
rra tic anti neptp f he
and the constitutional treasury.

All honor to our democratic President for the firm
and wisdom manifested throughout the whole
negotiation
The constitutional treasury and the currency of
the constitution! Special laws and incorporate mo-
nopoly will be powerless-equal rights and privi-
leges again in the nscendant-the triumph Of the
people; and although Governor BARLEY may an
nounce weekly, us heretofore, that the estate bank"
has given birth to another branch the ''consttu-
tional defects" Of the paintings will not permit them
to live, surrounded by democratic atmosphere.
Mr.. Gallagher spoke at length, occupying the
than hon he in
tends, in the foregoing to Indicate the character of
his remarks
Mr.. McMakin, of Hamilton, moved that the res
olutions be adopted en- musse.
Mr.. J. M. Gaylord, of Morgan county, moved to
strike from the third resolution, the word "acre, +"
and insert inch; the amendment was agreed to.
The resolutions, as amended, were then unani-
mously adopted.
Hon. Mr.. Newman, Of Richland, being called up
on to address the meeting, arose and said:
That he labored under disadvantages in address,
ing the meeting, inasmuch the subject that called
them together the message of our democratic Presi-
dent, had been so ably and so fully discussed by
those who had preceded him. He, however was
at all times ready to bear testimony of his attach
ment and adherence to the democratic principles and
recommendations, that stood forth in distinct relief
in the message referred TO- In that document, said
he, is set forth with commendabe perspicuty, those
great and cherished principles that characterized
the action of the republican party, in the formation
OF this glorious confederacy, and upon which Is
reared the grand superstructure of our government
He esteemed the subjects and the manner in which
they are discussed, well worthy of an enthusiastic
response from the democracy of this Union--more
especially from this the third State in magnitude,
and the first in respendence in the galaxy Of States
We, of Ohio, occupy proud and commanding po-
sion, which should particularly interest us in the
subject of the message, and in which we can daily
verify the truth of that beautiful expression Of the
poet, as alluded to by the gentleman who preceded
him,
Westward thu star OF empire takes its way
As nation and people, our destiny is onward
and westward; and such will certainly be lie course,
till the ample folds Of the s,ar-spangled banner Of
our nations glory, famed by the gentle breezes Of
the Pacific, floats in triumph over the fertile soil of
Oregon.
The whole Of Oregon or none, is the sentiment
Of the message. What emphatic language! How
momentous Of thought How pregnant Of impor-
tancc The echo of the sentiment will cross the
