lutions which were passed by the convention
Resolved That contemplate with pride and approba-
administration OF President Polk the settlement OF the Or
egon question, the annexation of great and Territory
our Union the substitution of the tariff of 1916 for hat
of 1872 which taxed the many for the benefit of the few
and the promPtude with which national honor has been
sustained against the insults and aggessons OF Mexico
Resoged That the highly prosperous of country
under the present tariff is ncontroveribe evidence
wisdom of that measure In every section of our country
factories being erected and increased energy and
activity given 10 those already in operation.
Reso,red That while the mona rchica governments Of
Europe beginning to remove the obstacles which
been so long thrown IN the way OF trade and commerce,
and establishing intercourse between themselves
and with us on principles OF liberay and reciprocity, the
wings, under our own republican government, are still
cngng that old federal platform .of monopoly and re-
srction, and alternately bawng protection protection :
Resoiped, That friends and the enemies of do
nestle manufactures We rejoice in their prosperity,
are willing thar government throw around them every pro-
lection in its power not incompatible with the other great
interests OF the nation and believe that the present d-
y of 20 and 20 cent the foreign article added
of importation, is bounty paid by the nd-
protection enough.
Resotved That regret though surprised, to
tions the against Mexico, and the obstacles thrown
in the way of its speedy terninatona began by Mex
leo herself and which could have been avoided
part without dishonor and disgrace the nation But the
spirit othe edealists of 1872 has been transmitted down
the wings OF 1871 and we hear then heard,
most violent demonstrations against the administration as
the authors OF an UNJUST and wicked war; from whig
tors, wing presses, and wing pnpits
MEETING OF THE PEoPLE.-Agreeably to previous no.
tice number of citizens of Stark county assembled at
the courthouse in Canton Saturday. the 9th of March,
s47 for the purpose of expressing their views relation
to the Mexican war, well as of the conduct of the
United States Senate in their exclusion of the editors Of
the ''Unon' from seat the floor of the Senate The
meeting being called TO order, Alexander McCully
called TO the chair and Daniel Goshall appointed
tary.
After recess until evening, Mr. James b. Estep, from
committee appointed for that purpose, reported pre-
amble and resolutions, which severally adopted
We select the following:
| Whereas, war is the mighty which nation or
an individual is boundto give when insult persisted in
and other of redress be had and loving
glorious native land do dearly Jealous perhaps
TESS disgust towards wo having consideration
cept the gross Of how many dollars be by
war; who enwrapt in abstract easonngs
plan theory woud ,ant the land with poison which they
call pacchton and prudence. And whereas, through
aggression, the United States is now engaged in with
the republic Of Mexico, and believing do that is
better to fall in defending our country from foreign ino-
ence than live the sluggish life of tame submission that
insolence--thot the existence
which then or never the honorable jealousy and pride OF
every American should be aroused to the highest OF
vigant sensibty-o pledge our support to the admins,
wrongshailing the chivalry who the in
s nSd eaegnss s m
nationality and political dePrayiiy OF those who sing a
etherazed system of etiquette, 10 the patriot
man. would sink their country niamy more profound,
than history has accorded 10 the fabulous feast of the
q ster who drowned his own offspring. And
Whereas, John c. Calhoun and his hctious associates,
Senate of the United States, have perpeated foul and
hghhnnded wrong npon the editors of the Washington
br OF the ep a an alleged 'nS upon 'e bod
not known before as immaculate in which effort the com
ordinary impulse of both nationality and manhood, and
substituted in place the brutal spirit of political maYny
press gross outrage individual rights and the indg-
nation Of the great democratic party whom they have at
tempted 10 draw into involuntary participation OF their in
quity. Therefore, be it
Rcsoiped That President and Congress of the Unsed
States for their bold and energetic defence of American
rights deserve loud renown and iervent appreciation
through every section of this mighty land and deep
spouse in The heart of every patriot in the world.
Resotred, That we view with disgust and condemn with
patriotic indignation, the antAmerican position ofThomas
Corwn, the wing Ohio and regard his
closely assnated to that of the tories OF the revolution
well as that OF the federalists OF the late and de-
nonce and hold in contempt the who has thus
deserted his country her interests and honor 10 subserve
the basest purposes of vile and interruptions faction Cor
Rcsoiped That the conduct of the wings of the United
States Senese in the exclusion OF the editors OF the Unon"
from the privileged of that body, 10y the aid of A. F.
Butler, John C. Calhoun, James D. Westcou and David L.
Yulee shows them to be the admirers OF the federaists OF
793 and reriy go beyond the days of the reign of
terror, in shielding their coeruptions and antAmercan
feelings from the and of the people, whom
OF right, all power belongs.
Resoped That the exclusion of the editors Of The Union
from the floor of the Senate for publishing just
structures upon the public conduct OF majority OF that
body question where the vital interests OF the nation
concerned the rights of the citizens
of this free republic, and upon the freedom of the press
which will tolerate; and which, if sustained, cnl
cnated to render the press which is and ought - be- the
palladium of the peoples rights the subservent tool of
| in power.
