same policy which brought cav
eIIings against the administration OF Wash |
ington. but found for him an honorable place
in history. And while the President, carrying |
with him the heart of the people. was pre-
pared 10 be the first to welcome Hungary In
to the family of nations" giving to the strug-
Giles of freedom in another hemisphere, all
that. bv right, we could, our sympathy and
our example, we have found him prompt also
to maintain our neutral relations with Den
mark and with Spain.
Resolued, That as the Executive armis, of
necessity. more unrestrained in eur foreign
than in our domestic affairs, it affords US great
satisfaction to be assured, from the auguries
already furnished, that we have conided
those mowers to hands that will sustain att
once the peace, honor, and the dignity of our
country.
ResoEred, That in reference to our domes-
tic affairs. the first annual message of the
President ought to commend itself and its
doctrines to the approval of every American
mind. for It's frankness. for its plain and man
Ily distinctness. for its Difference to the public
will and for its completeness. Ina brief com
pass. this message has presented to the view
the various sections Of our country. In adj
dition to the concerns of our army and navy
which no President could overlook, we emu
merate his recommendation Of specific tariff
duties at such a standard as shall raise a rev.
enue for the extinction of our public debt, and,
| at the same time, foster and uphold American
Industry; his recommendation of an Agricul-
! tural Bureau through whose Instrumentality
| this great interest may be subjected to all
| the tests of science, and reap the benefit of
The current improvements in phisics and me-
chanics; his wise and discreet recommends
tons in regard to the constitutions of Califor-
MIA and New Mexico, which, if observed, will
make us one people, and save at the same
time, all those principles of freedom and equal
| ity of which the people of California. follow
ling in the foot steps of our early Fathers
have shown themselves so honorablY the
guardians his advocacy of river and harbor
| Improvements, and Of the Pacific railroad
Ialso, of cheap postage, relieving the c)rres-
pondence Of the people from the burthen of
supporting the ranking privilege of a few
and lastly, his declaimer Of the veto power,
lexcept in two enumerated cases, thus giving
effect to the will of the people, expressed
| through their representatives, and holding
those representatives. accountable TO their con-
causes, and unprotected by any apology but
their duty.
Resolred That we hold this State paper
up with pride, as AN AMERICAN WHO
MESSAGE, refreshing our hopes after q
! long drought, as the reflex of the peoples
wishes, and we now, on our part re-affirm III
doctrines. We believe that an adherence tC
| its policy by President, Congress and people
will maintain our honor abroad and promote
our growth and prosperity at home. Since
the Wing Administration of the younger
adams, our country has, from natural causes
greatly increased IN wealth, in commerce, il
I numbers and extent, and in the diversified
business relations of its citizens; and no pol.
icy can be adapted to our future exigencies
which is not practical aud progressive thai
President Taylor, in these recommendations,
has come up to the wants of an active en-
terprising, and industrious nation, and ought
| to be sustained.
! ReSOLred, That in our opinion, Gen. Tay-
| Tor has so far, redeemed the promise that his
Administration should not be party one
that, in regard to removals from office, he has
been governed by a desire to re-invest the
American People, in contradistinction to d
political party, with the honors and emolu.
ments of public employment; that the Ad

adopted a system Of political rewards, APP
pointing none but those called democrats
to office, Gen. Taylor found every place o.
value filled by men OF that stamp, thus ma
king the Executive government mere party
machine; and that o continue all persons
thus appointed, in office, to the exclusion of
Iother citizens, equally well qualified, would
i leave his administration open to the charge
rIof partizlnship, exhibit an utter disregard Of
his pledges, and secure a continuation of the
abuses SO long practiced by his predeces-
sors.
Resolred, That we, as wings demand nc
prescription Of political opponents, but desire
Ian equal participation in the honors of the
+ government TO the support of which we
cheerfully contribute; that we only ask of {
Wing Administration, strict and impartia
Iiustce, leaving to the President of our choice
the " largest liberty" for the exercise of {
generous forbearance towards his political OPP
ponents
II ReSoIUed, That the public domain, now nm
