The subioined resolutions were then Offered
read and adopted:
Rtsolred, That while this convention deplores
the unlocked for event which deprived nation
OF the brave and accomplished warrior who, in
connection with the gallant soldiers under his
command, upheld our flag against fearful odds
on The plans OF Mexico, and of j President
whose only aim was the good Of his country
yet, as Wings, we can rejoice that the mantle
has fallen Upon a statesman as eminent as Mil
lard FILLMORE. Of undoubted patriotism of
unquestioned purity Of purpose, and irreproach-
able IN private and public life, We can confde
IN his administration embodying all that q
Whig can ask or wish for
Res0lrcd That the administration of Governor
JOHNSTON meets with hearty response at the
hands of the people. He has done much TO re-
trieVe the far fame of the Executive chair from
The stIgmas attached to Il by the misdeeds of
rulers elected by locofoco votes-has made a
good beginning IN reducing the State debt, and
mad all The measures recommended by him been
adopted by the Legislature, u fair pros pect would
have opened for the gradual ex;inguishment of
the State liabilities.
ResOired That while ice have no words of
abuse to utter against Ephram Banks or his as
socrates on the locofoco State ticket the lam
guage oil their own party papers is sufficient to
conaenn one OF them as unfit for the Office for
which ne was nominated, and as men are gener-
ally Judged by the company they keep, we think
our candidates, DUNCAN, Snyder and Henderson,
are vastly preferable TO Morrison, Banks, and
Brawley.
Resolued, That SAMUEL CALVIN, our present
representative in Congress, has proved himself
able advocate of our interests-an attentive
membeE-and true Wing and that we deeply
regret his determination to decline q re-nomina-
ton.
Res0fred, That We pledge ourselves to give a
long pull, strong pull and pull altogether, TO
the ticket this day nominated without bargain,
intrigue or under specous pleas, but by delegates
elected without pledges of any kind, who, after
due dellberation, have chosen men as candidates
whose lives and conduct commend them 10 the
favorable consideration of the people.

}. r. Cottrell, Esgrs., be and are hereby ap-
