Of the world upon the achievement oil any great

sistencies Of ihu seLf sufficient democracy.

qualities, which SO nobly adorned the Father Of his
County"
Resolped therefore, That we hail his election as ono
Of the greatest victories ever achieved by the Ame-
can peope--a victory over party that has set al
nought, the most sacred principles of the constitu
ton; that have set up Executive veoes against the
voice OF legislative wisdom, that seek self aggran
dizement, at the expense Of the blood and trea-
sure Of the nation, party that can be one thing,

featuring and commercial interest will be prosperous

the principles of certain purity, but because all

teres,s Of the country.

united TO secure NIL occasions, ascendency Of
those principles In this our happy state; that in our
coming elections every inferior consideration shall
be laid aside and al concessions concurred In, not
incompatible with the general interests OF the coun-
try, which may be necessary TO secure the advance
ment of the glorious cause In which we are engaged
and the overthrow Of modern eojocoisni.
