Democratic RESOLUTIONS.


Tammany Hall, by the united democracy of New
York city:
L. ReSnlued, That the measures and policy Of the
wbig natl. nal adminis' raon far they have yet
been exhibited, meet the unequivocal disapprobal ion
of the democracy Of this city; that, for party which
came into power with such repeated pledges TO pre-
peace, the whig cabinet have startled the
try with - rumors of war" in unexampled abund-
ance that most especially does the foreign policy of
the present administration appear to unsuited to
the times and TO the character of the American re-
public; that in commercial affairs the administration
has gone back to the restrictive system Of former
age, displaciDg the American minister at London be-
he had opened the ports of the British empire
10 American shps that i'll respect 10 the foreign pol
itics of Europe and of this continent the policy of
the whig party has been in shameful hostility to the
sympathies of the American people; for their Presi
dent has volunteered to become the ally of Spain in
crushing the last hope of oppressed Cuba for liberty
He abandoned the liberal and enlightened policy OF
President Polk towards the German confederation
government instituted by the republicans Of Germany
to unite and redeem their fatherand and refused our
new ally the humble privilege to our mechanics nei-
iher dlspleasing Improbable, of building u navy
in dock yards He the republic of Hungary
crushed by the colossal despotism of Russia, without
q word of remonstrance offer of mediation,
either In the name of humanity of the paternal-
ties of political sympathy, thus putting upon our
Christian republic the shame of being anticipated by
the heroes of righteous but unfortunate revolution.
He gave no helping hand to the gallant strug-
Cling for Italian liberty within the walls of Rome,
but stood by in cold silence, and the armies Of
four nations leagued against single city, which had
committed crime, except the choice of free gov
ernment. That in regard to the home policy of The
administration, nothing has yet been done which
concerns any one but the whig party, and among
whom, 1t seems, that for President who, when he
went into office, had friends reward enemies
mics and punished more friends than distinguish
ed the of any of his predecessors; result in
all respects mortfying TO those who promised the
country, in General IaylO no less than Second
Washington"
2. Resolusd, That we heartily approve the recent
international modification of the navigation laws
effected between the United States and Great Britain,
as tending, while comforting reciprocal benefits upon
England to expand and enrich the commerce Ut this
country, and to strengthen in each the desire to main
tain that good understanding in which the interests
of civilization closely involved and that the
democracy of New York hereby extend cordial well
come and all honor to the accomplished negotiator,
our guest tonight and our felow-czen hereafter,
, George Bancroft, Esq, late minister ut London.
B. Resolred That the best interests of the people
require the substitution, far possible, Of me-
talc for paper currency. That effect desi-
rable Object the utmost facilities should be given
for converting into American money the foreign coin
J and bullion arriving shores. That this can
only be done effectively by the-immedate establish
e ment Of branch mint of the United States in the
f city of New York, where vast proportion OF the
specie arriving in the country is imported. That
earnestly invite the attention of Congress to this i'm
porant subject at the approaching session and we
sincerely hope that matter of much Importance
to the people may not be defeated by the exertions
sectional parsans, the nsidious opposition of the
: friends OF paper money
, A. ResOlped, That we congratulate the national de-
III aF Safk
elections, whereby the democratic party has been re
stored to power in majority of the States and II
= = both branches of Congress; and especially do W,
congratulate fellow democrats of the sister States
the reunion of the democratic party of the State
New York, based as that union is upon the abolition
of all tests in reference 10 the powers the action
, Congress upon the subject Of negro slavery in ih
Territories of the United States. thus removing from
l. the present election and avoiding hereafter, the
barrassments which have attended the recent actio
of the party in this State. and which operated so dis
70 astrously in The campaign of 1848.
% 3. Resolped, That experience is rapidly commend
e ing to OIL classes the constitutional reforms efecie
'f by the democratic party judiciary system. Th
election OF Judges by popular vote has been found
promote a salutary zee in the discharge OF duty, an
devotion to the despatch of business, Will
I'd the abolition of all fees and perqu'sitcs of oice ha
brought Justice to the command of the poores
suitor, and at the time, placed the compeDsn
;, tion of the judges on more permanent and honor
- able basis.
is 6. Resolved. That the people of this State have
he deep and abiding interest In the success
fully commenced for the reform of the abuses cost
o and delays of legal procedure and that the democrat

brethren throughout the State. both In and out of TIA
Oh Legislature aud especially upon the Judges of III
various courts in the State, TO extend their hearty &C
T. operation the commissioners of practice, in carry
ing TO more full completion the great work In whc
m they are engaged and that would deplore as
~ public calamity the renewal of hostility evinced
, the last whig legislature to its accomplishment whc
~ was withdrawn when they were overwhelmed by til
OF emphatic expression of public opinion in its favor
