ing upon what Candidate the efforts Of the party,
in the various sections ofthc country. shall he con
ccntrnted, and vbdros, every State fairly repre-
scented in such Convention, does, by the very act
of sending delegates, virtually pledge itself to sc
cept the nomination therein made and Vernon.
having been so represented in the Wing National
Convention held at Philadelphia on the eth
inst, therefore,
Resol,ed, Thatw will give our hearty support
to the nominees Of the late Philadelphia Convcn-
ton
Reso'red, That We entertain great confidence
in the ability, frmness and integrity Of ZACHARY
TAYLOR, and in his attachment to the great prin-
ciples of the Wing party, and believe tho admin
stratiOn Of the Government will be safe in hi,
hands, and that he is worthy ofour strenuous sup

Rcsolred, That in the support ofMrLLAED FIN
MORE for the Vice Presidency Wing tried and
true,-we feel an entire confidence that, in the
success Of our ticket, we shall not, for the nest
four wears, at any tire be without decided and

portion of our Delegation who took firm ami
uniiinching stand for HENRY CLAY-our own
FIRST choice-thc peoples favoritc-the country
long-tricd and faithful scrvant-a anwhose name
succeeding generations will ever reverence, and

page of History.
Reso'red, That we adhere with unwayering
frmness to the great principles Of the Wimo,
Prov;so; that we will ever boldly and decidedly
lift our voice against the extension of Slavery in
to territory free that in the avowal ofZAcH-

Protection, of which Henry Clay was the father
and always the steadfast supporter is settled prir
ciple of Wing policy; that the Tariff of ~, while
in operation, proved itself worthy ofbeing permit

its repeal, and the adoption of the Tariff OFFS
did truly, as the recent Loco Foco Convention
at Baltimore unanimously declared, give decid
ed impulse to the cause of FREE TRADE"
Resolved, That the doctrines of Free Trade
are in the present state Of commerce, entirely fal
lacious, and are but arguments in disguise TO
bring down the free labor of the North to the level
of the pauper labor of Europe and of the Slaves
at the South and that, in order to obtain the FIJI
lest measure of protection, the nation require
Tariff adjusted that the duties may be adequate
to the current expenses Of the Government, and
so arranged by discrimination as to give pref
growth and manufacture.
Resolved That we recognize in the ConshE-
ton the power of Congress to mako appropria-
tions for Improvements in our Harbors and Riv-
ers--so necessary to the prosperity of our Intern-
al Commerce-and thatwe believe such internal
