Resotoed, That the Wings and friends OF
Gen. Taylor in Mississippi, have a firm and
"s OIL "
abiding confidence in his honesty, intelligence
and patriotism, and that they hail his election
as a proud monument to the wisdom and re-
publicanism Of the people, whom he will serve
with a sing1eness ofheart and purity Of purpose,
unsurpassed since the administration Of the
immortal Woghington.
Resolced, That we give the most hearty ap-
proval to his administrative policy, so ably
eyinced in his noble stand in vindication Of
our neutral rights-a policy, which re-esIab-
fishes the doctrine and practice of the father
Of his country, and gives assurance to the
world that he will maintain. at all hazards,
peace and concord at home, friendship and
neutrality abroad.
Resolued, That we behold with undissem-
bled disgust, the bitter and indiscriminate de-
nunciations Of a grossly partisan press, clam
oring against removals from Office, without
knowing the causes which induced such re-
movaIs, and falsely prcnouncingt them proscrip'
tive, when they were in obedience 10 the JEFF
fcrson rule, called for by a just spirit Of reform
as indicated BY the will Of the majority, and
mperatyely demanded by the highest regard
for equality of rights, justice. andthe public
good.
ResOlued, That, inasmuch as Gen. Taylor
found nearly all the Offices of the Government
filled with members Of one party only, his course
IN making removals Snd appointing his own
friends, is not prescription, but Justice; and is
in accordance with his pledge that he would
be the President OF a whole people, and not
Of a party.
Resobed, That our love for the Union, as
the bond Of peace and safety Of the States
and OF defence against foreign foes, commenced
with oNr earliest recollection, and is unabOted

evolutionary ancestry and because il has tri'
umphaHtly borne US in the short lapse Of sew
enty-three years to the ~lofliest pitch Of civil
i%Eation, prosperity and happiness, in defiance
Of the frewns, the arms and Vaccinations Of

glorious Union, in bis own modest language,
I will be preserved,' as we'll by the frmnes'

guarantees, undiminished in tsvigor, unimpaiI
