Whereas il has ever been the inclination as well
the practice Of the democratic party to award full
praise and commentator 10 their representatives,
who by proper and iudicious discrimination,
knowing the wants and wishes of the people, sus-
tain and carry out alone such measures are beet
calculated to advance and promote the prosperity OF
the country extend the greatest good TO the greatest
number, and in their legislation recognise no doc
trne which excludes the cherished republican fea-
ture and principle Of equal rights and equal ustieei
and whereas the recent session of Congress has,
through the wisdom, perseverance, and faithfulness
OF Its democratic members, produced acts long and
emphatca0y demanded by the people as necessary
and important for the maintenance Of their free in
stitutions, and to support alike the labor industry
and talent of all, and In consequence OF which the
democratic republican electors Of the city and county
Of New York deem the present occasion suitable
one to express freely their favorable sentiments in
relation TO the Of their political friends in the
national legislature, and TO those measures which
have recently been adopted bya democratic Con.
gress:
Resolved, That the democracy of the city and
county OF New York, in general meeting assembled,
gratefully impressed with the wisdom and faithful
conduct of the republican members of Congress at
the late session, who firmly and successfully insisted
on carrying out the measures set forth by the rep
rcsentatives Of the democratic party, assembled at
Baltimore in May, 1874, essentially necessary to
render the election Of democratic administration
conducive to the happiness and prosperity OF the
people, do hereby tender them their grateful 40
acknowledgements for awaiting themselves Of the very
first opportunity of dscharging their duty to their
constituents and the country, thereby exhibiting
themselves worthy of the important interests COM
mited to their care, and displaying that attachment
be found in the ranks of those whose motto ever is,
and ever will be-"Equal rights to all, and that adj
ministration of government whose blessings, as the
dews of Heaven, descend alike on the high and the
low, the rich and the poor" .. ..a...
Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence
in the ability, integrity, and patriotism of James X
Polk, President of the United States, and can point
with pride and satisfaction to his acts as evincing
that judgment and regard for the welfare and in
eress of the country vouched for by therepresent-
atives of the democracy who presented his name as
one worthy ofthe support Of an enlightened, liberal
and sagacious people. .
Resolued, That in our vice president, George Milf
fin Dallas, Pennsylvania favorite son, we have a
man and democrat fitted to be classed with our
party's great apostles, Jefferson and Jackson. I'm
dismayed by denunciations Of fierce, impacable,
and bitter enemies unmoved by prayers, appeals,
and entreaties of misguided friends and wavering
politicians, he assumed unhestatingly the response
bity, and by prompt exercise of his constitution
al casting vote expunged from the statute-book the
odious and unjust tariff bill of '42-an act which
will endear his name to millions yet unborn--be-
come brighter "from the light reflected by burning
eigies, )" and render it sacred historys page,
belonging to one who, when the emergency arrived
requiring the action Of stern integrity and political
fidelity, fearessly and promptly ready to do his
duty. To his unfinchng 6rmness and integrity we
indebted for the passage of the tariff act of 46.
The people will never forget him, nor omit OPP
portunity Of expressing their gratitude. He has
placed the cap-sone of honor on the administration
Of "Polk and Dallas"
Resolved That we view the repeal Of the tariff act
OF AZ az subject for great congratuation and re-
ioicing by all classes and that its substitute, based
on the only fair and equitable principle for tariff
a tax on the real value, excluding the specific and
| minimum practice, as furnished Congress by The
able Secretary Of the Treasury, the Hon. Robt. J.
Walker, and which feel confident would, If cir
cumstances at this time have warranted 1t, been less
protective in its character, and more opposite to the
unrighteous policy Of fostering one branch Of indus
| try at the expense of another--will, we have no
doubt, fully work out the arguments and facts sub
mitted by this talented protector. .. q. . .
Resolved, That, in the passage of the constitution
al treasury bill, the democracy have another favorite
and just project accomplished, and hail it event
of vital importance to the prosperity Of the country
one well calculated to protect the community from
the numerous evils, the inevitable offspring Of any
connexion or union between the government and the
banks and measure which cannot fail Of exercising
a healthy influence on the currency Of the country
"a check to unlimited circulation of bank paper
! Resolved, That well-regulated warehousing sys
| tenn being necessary for the commercial operations
of the country we are well pleased at the passage
bill making the first attempt to carry out the same
and trust that the next session Of Congress its in
defatigable champion, the Hon. John A. Dix, vii
be able TO perfect the system by amending tn,
present act in accordance with his original well-ma
tured plan.
Resolved, That our distinguished governor, Silai
Wright, continues to enjoy the unbounded conf
dence Of the democracy OF the city and State-faith
ul 10 their doctrnes the interest Of the State;
able upright, and talented executive, he is well de
serving Of the continued regard Of the people, VIII,
are satisfied their best interests could not be in safe
hands. Hg
Resolved, That notwithstanding the United State
| in the present war which they have been qoadet
