friendship and neutrality abroad
ResOI ed. That inasmuch as Gen TavIor fornd
nearly al the offices of the general government fl
led with the members of one party only his course
III making removals and appointing his own friends
IS not prescription but justice, and Is fully in
cordance with his pledge that he would be the
President of whole people and not of party.

responsible for the eXistance of slavery IN any Of

of Slavery over any new Territory acquired by
the arms of the whole Union, or It's federation in
districts where, in the district of Columbia il
may be lawfully and constltutonally abolIsed :;
that we must therefore protest in the strongest

or creating another State.

Resolved. That in adjusting the details of Ia
rift, Tor the collection OF revenue detray the

Bounty Low of the late adninistration-which by
making Land Warrants transferable, has deprived
the soldier of a portion of his dues whilst il has
accumulated thousands of acres in the hands Of
spectators, and greatly retarded the settlement
ana improvement of our state
Resolved, that as the experience OF the past three
years has proved that the boosted sub Treasury
system signaly fails in the great objects OF safe

bond of peace and safety of the States, and OF de
fence against foreign foes, commenced with our
earliest recollections, is undated by time. We
love l. because it IS the workmanship of our faith
