American Industry, satisfied that without i, |
there can be no lasting national prosperity.
Resolved, That the deadly stab given TO the |
erea, interests of our Common wealth, by the
Federal Administration, by the passage of the
Tariff Act of 1916, and the Repeal of the Pro-
tec,iye Policy, impera,ivey demands, that as
freemen, we should resent The injury. and re-
buke the fraud through which, in 1914, they
secured the power TO infct it.
Resolved, That The course pursued by Geo.
Mifflin Dallas, previously 10 the election in
1874, as contrasted with his vote upon the Ia
riff of 1916, excites in our minds feelings both
of shame and indignation. That we blush,
when we reflect, that Son of Pennsylvania,
should stoop TO falsehood and misrepresentation
for the purpose of acquiring power-and that
thus acquired welded for the purpose of aiming
vital blow at the Institutions and Interests of
his native State, and of prosraring the labors
and energies of the Pennsylvania working men
and mechanics, before the Free Traders and
Shareholders of the South
Resolved, That as patriots we pledge our
| support TO the Federal Administration in the ac-
tive and efficient prosecution of The Mexican
| War; feeling, as we do, that when actual hos
lililes have commenced. it is no time for party
chickering's and recrimnaions. That our gal
liant Army composed as it is of all parties, must
be strengthened and sustained; and that we
trust that it will still continue as it has hereto
fore done. TO sustain The spotless honor of our
Coun,ry's Flag
Resolved, That Gen. Zachary Taylor, and
the brave officers and men under his command,
have won for themselves imperishable honour,
and are entitled 10 the gratitude and support Of
their admiring coun,rymen.
Resolved, That we lament the fate of the
brave soldiers who have already fallen during
the war; and that We deeply sympahize with
their surviving relatives and friends.
Resolved That the recen. victories through
ont the Union, have cheered and exhirated
the hearts of all true Wings. That from them
we are satisfied that the minds of the people
are alive TO the importance Of sustaining The
great measures of our Parry; and that we need
nothing but union and activity 10 insure to those
principles glorious triumph and perperua,ion
for years 10 come.
Resolved, That we are in favour, and ear
nesly recommend 10 our political friends, now
composing majority of the next Legislature
that they make their Session as short as is con.
sistant with the necessary discharge of their
+ duties. That in the present embarrassed stu
alton of the finances of the Commonwealth, we
call upon them TO exercise all prudence anC
economy for the purpose of relieving the peo
pie from the enormous burden of taxation unde
which they are now groaning
Resolved That we recommend the iniroduc
tion of the one hour rule into our Legislature
believing that less talk and more work woulc
be greatly to the advantage of the Treasury
whilst the amount of useful information diffuset
among the people would not be seriously di
minished.
Resolved, That The proceedings be signed By
the officers and published in the Democratic
Whig papers of the District.
