The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted by said meeting.
Whereas, the fate of the Union is suspended upon
the firm support of those great and immortal mea-
sures chosen by the sage slres OF 10, as those best
calculated to secure tie interests, happiness and gen.
cral welfare of the American peope-and which they
in have sealed with their universal appreciation,
and acknowledged by their unmurmuring acquIescence
for more than half century,-and whereas, The ialr
land of the 'sars and Stripes, has again, as hereto
fore been brought into collision with the goary god
of war, ingeniousy maneuvering, and artiuly con-
Quoting, the fierce armies of foreign and domestic
foe; for not only has Mexico wantony assalled our
southern borders, invaded territory and spilled the
blood of our own citizens upon our own soil; and not
only the plains of Mexico now being overrun
with the blood of our best citizens their cbivalroHs
efforts bring the war to a speedy and honorable
termnation-but within borders, In the civic
chambers, and round about domestic tresldes,
have the opposing whig party, ever at variance with
the true interests of the republic-a party Identified
with the old Hamionlan school, and the federalism OF
the elder Adams, in their accustomed subtety, shame
full to tell, with few honorable exceptlons) dis
llv nd lv uiv n
the enemy abroad,-exered, at home, every nerve to
break down the very administration which the people
themselves had up-refraincd from no acts, how
ruinous to the republic 10 attain their own self
ish ends had been al the involutlon OF our
country in long and bloody conflict with the boasted
powers of Europe,-and whereas, the remedy in the
one also the remedy in the other and the means
devised for the speedy and honorable termination OF
the Mexican is of the of those tending to
restrain from successful attacks upon the republic the
great whg party, ever at war, and never at peace,
with the United States-and whereas, the time Is,
that the only remedy, which hangs the salvation Of
the republic, must be speedily applied, therefore be 1t
ReSolred that unslacked vigilance should character
Use the ranks of the democracy throughout the Union,
and further reposlng IN presumed security, be de-
ferred until all clouds of danger have flown away, and
the sky of day discovers its former lustre.
Resolved that the course of the present adminsira-
ton in its energetic and prudent acts relative to the
in Mexico, we heartily approve.
RESOLVED, that all audable means Should speedily
be set on foot to bring the to speedy and honor
able termination, and that no appropriations necessa-
ry to that end should be withheld.
= Resored, that in the opinion of this meeting our
sole remedy, in respect TO internal and external
enemy, lies in the elevation TO power to rule, and to
legislate men whose principles we know TO be their
cOuntry's cause-whose interests the interests of
the Union, based it is upon the foundation stone,
laid by the Father of his country-men who harbour
the dark and dangerous designs Of disunioD, but
who 90 hand in hand in maintaining our ancient land
marks, and who are ever ready and willing to give
aid and means to the administration the people may
choose, So long its measures are congenial with
the spirit of the constitution, and in with
the wishes and calls Of the great body of the Ameri
can people.
/ Resolved, That too great activity cannot be
ered in preserving untarnished the virgin purity of
the pristine measures of the Republic and in guard
ing them against the invasions of their foes and the
nfractions of improvident and reckless
RESOLVED, That we approve the State Convention TO
be held indianapolis the 9Th inst. and that
county shall not fail in its representation.
