At meeting of Democrats OF Floyd county, held
at the court house in New Albany the 1lth inst,
THOMAS PIERS called 10 the chair, John Coleman
and q. II. Nied appointed Vice Presidents, and ID. |
Tiller and H. H. Royse, Secretaries.
J. B. Norman, Esq, from committe appointed for
the purpose reported series of resolutions which
were adopted. Not having for the whole, we
select the following the most Immediately inter-
esting.
RESOLVED, That in concluding treaty of peace, it
will be the duty of our government to demand from
Mexico cessiOn of territory, indemnity for
the expenses of the forced upon by the act Of
Mexico, and in payment Of just claims which
citizens have long had against that country. That
whilst we utterly opposed TO the extension of the
institution of slavery any territory Free
willing TO leave to the present and future inhabit
ants of such territory the decision of this question:
believing that, while the great end of Obtaining and
preserving FREE TERRITORY will be accomplished the
unnecessary agitation Of this delicate question will be
thus avoided.
Rssolred, That we entirely opposed to the poll
cy Of Withdrawing army from Mexico. until
treaty of peace shall be concluded and ratified that
such a would subject US to the just and
derision Of the world-would be abandonment OF
all the fruits of victory, and acknowledgment that
we incapable of finishing a contest which las
been thus far SO goriously prosecuted.
Resolved That that portion of the Presidents
rsdction of tie United States, by of terrific
rial government, over The provinces of New Mexico
and the CALIFORNIA; meets most cordial approba-
ton; and that in opinion such measure, the
part Of Congress, will have the effect, than any
oiher of bringing Mexico to terms.
| ReSored, That the officers and soldiers, regulars
and volunteers, who have achieved the numerous
brilliant trumps the battlefelds of Mexico, are
entitled TO the lasting gratitude and admiration of
their countrymen. That our own gallant Gen. Lane
as well for his bravery displayed in the battles of
| Buena Vista, Huamantla, Atxco, and eswhere as
for his unceasng and successful efforts to wipe out
and put to the foul calumny officially and other
wise put forth against tie gallant second regiment of
lndlanians, deserves the thanks of all who place
just estimate upon the fame of citizen soldiers,
and their sacrifices to their country.
RESOLVED, That approve of the method of nom-
mating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pres
dency by national sention, and in 10 event can
we yield our support to any who does not fully
and unequvocalIy, pledge himself to the well known
principles of the Democratic party. In our opinion
the Fourth of July and the city of Cincinnati would
be the most appropriate time and place for holding
such convention.
On motion, the meeting proceeded to appoint dele
gates to attend the Democratic State Convention which
is to assemble at indianapolis the 9Th of January.
