PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS:
We have met, felow-citzens and brother Wings, to
change gatuaons with each other and to congratulate as
country upon the joyous event, full Of relief and
full of hope-lhe triumphant election of ZACHARY TArLoR
and MLLARD FILLMORE to the Presidency and Vice Pres-
dency Of the United States.
The election Of either OF thess eminent citizens pure,
elevated and patriotic the high for which they
nominated woudhave been for rejoicing under any
circumstances; but this unctue, full Of porent and
peous sectional division, the election Of both by the mutual
support OF boboh, too, receiving equally the support of
the North and the South the East and the West suffrage
dfusve and national as own broad andthe election
of BOTH under such circumstances and in such MANNER is
indeed profound satisfaction and relief every
of his country and the Union Does it speak encourage
and hope, where there has been dependency scarcely
short Of despair Does not that the Union is
still properly valued, that the spirit Of compromise which
gave birth s regns and that the conservative spirit Of
fathers and the constitution, which from many made us
people, and made great people, will still guide and
govern US and lead still higher advances in power
and civilization, till fulfil proper destiny and take rank
as the first nation in the world.
But only in the national temper, which may safely
will govern the administration of Gen. Taylor and Mil
lard Fillmore, have We Wings and citizens ground for
graduation and hope We may be satisfied that the peace Of
country will not be lightly hazared sacrificed and that
peace sentiment the Of peace, and peace apology,
for lis blessed fruits, will be properly guarded, appreciated
and cherished. The old world, with lis standing armies, its
consuming wars, It's luxurious nobility, its Impoverished,
wreced people, tell US but eoquenty what and the
sword do for any people, Far different is our mission.
1t duty and, trust the destiny OF Christian repuo
can America illustrate what peaceful labor, protected by
equa. laws, achieve for nation; aud TO show 10 the
world how much happier the people whose prosperity built
upon their honest vrtuous abors whose wealth is not
spoil, whose strength violence, whose glorious
achievements and iumphs bring not degradation desoa-
ton any other people, but whose march greatness and
glory shall be- like the rising Of the its zenith, scatter
ing light and gadness in It's path and, when it has reached
Its highest point SHALL like the at lis medan be most
blessing every other people when itself most blessed
How deep and genuine the love Of Gen. TArLon for
how has moulded bis strong spirit and melted to acts OF
tenderness and Mercy his counymen know by heart in
o the most touching passages OF his a9d his country
history how much he values PEACE policy, he has pro-
claimed by protesting himself disciple Of WAsSGroS and
JEFsERsoS, and the admirer and friend of CLAY.
We have, felowcizen yet further for graduation
and rejoicing, in the election Of Gen. Taylor and Mard Fill
more the lovers Of order and pars Of cheerful sub
mission just authority Obedience to the law, the most
solemn the most certain, tie ony authoritative expression Of
the will Of the peopeaw, the guardian Of order and twin
Of beryis necessary the prosperity Of any people,
but is essential to the very existence Of republic and cons
the cardinal principle of every republican. In
one Washington has respect for law and legal authority
been more brightly illustrated than in Zachary TAYLOR the
soldier and triumphant general 1t has been his privilege
show his countmen how decent, how dgnied and bow
noble is prompt and unmurmurng submission to the isw
and appointed officers Ia his the impressive
pie Of the Father his Country has renewed Have
reason then, be assured and glad the assurance
that the administration OF Gen. Taylor like that of General
Washington, will be sgnazed by modest and moderate
OF opposed TO license in shape aud in
ter refusing WELD desp1;c and caprcious power ITSELF
and enforcing with steady hand and determined will the will
Of the people, the law Of anG the lite Of the republic
We might add, from what grevous ills sincerely and
devouy believe the election Of Gen. Taylor and Mard Fill
has saved and country but we have heart to
press and the argument when the has been dec
ded and the verdict has been rendered We do feel how
departurewe trust and believe prosperous
Under administration of pure and patriotic citizens, with
proper respect for the law and the making power the
part Of administration and peoples with order and law nscrb
ed upon banners with the lore OF the Union aud the
bearing spirit OF the Union in hearts with good will to
all men, and peace with all nations principle,
men, and policy, shall prosperity visit
borders-manuactucs be multiplied and acknowledgement
reap her abundant harvess and spread her
\ broad wings upon every sea
In looking back the arduous suSciously
minated and forward TO the Land Of Promise upon which
counynen about to enter although il has been the for
tune OF the Wings Of Chaesoa to take but humble part
in the great contest yet from The bottom of he arts
congratulate fortunate brother Wings, who have
borne the standard OF Taylor and Fillmore victory, and given
70 chief another Duena Vista triumph. We the
less grateful for what others have done and will send up
hearty cheer brave comrades who have fought
fight, the field, and saved the country. Therefore,
ResOicd, That only every Wing, Blu, every patriot has
rejoice in the election Of ZACHARY TAYLOR aud
MILLARD FILLMORE, and that every good citizen may
scieniousy support administration such that which
we have expect from Chief Magistrate free from
| sectional prejudice and superior to party bgolry.
ResDlred, That entertain profound conviction that
the dangers by which the country encompassed
averted only by the application OF the principles
which form the b,s Of the Wing party strongly illus
ra,ed in the Characters OF Gen. Taylor and Mr. Fillmore
and mPessivc vnIcacd in their election by the Ameri-
can people.
Resoired That committee Of five be appointed to all
