Spirit.

Meeting or the Friends or the Administra-
tfon In Cazenovia, New York.-The right
Spirit.
The Madison County Wing, published
at Cazenovia, New York, contains the
proceedings of meeting of the Wings of
the county of Madison, held on the even
ing of the 7th instant.
The Wing thus speaks of the meeting
ssThe large meeting held last evening was COM
posed of our most active, intelligent, influential
and best known Wings. The men who canvass the
town, and are always to be found at the polls the
men who bring out the wagons the men whom
the wise Partially of the party have made standard
bearers in election contests with the Locos, and
the men whose time and aid have made this the
sOld Gibraltar were there; every shade Of diff
ference if there be any, of the Wings Of the town
was represented, and the resolutions adopted with
unanimity are the voice of all.
"The meeting was, we believe, the first held at
the North to sustain the Administration and its
friends Doubtless it will be the harbinger of count
less gatherings of kindred nature for a similar
purpose throughout the country"
The president of the meeting was JACOB
TEN EYcK, esq, and H. A. COOLIDGE
acted as secretary.
From the preamble and resolutions
adopted by the assemblage, it is with
pride and pleasure we select the following.
They are admirably drawn, and are con-
ceived in wise, just, and patriotic spirit.
1t is refreshing to be able to give such pro-
ceedings to the public:
"various plans by different eminent men have
been suggested with the view of their settlement
upon supposed Just bases, but plan yet proposed,
in the opinion of this meeting, possesses the I'M
Partially and practicability Of the plan recon-
mended by the distinguished Chief Magistrate of
the nation ltrecognises an inherent rignt IN man
it recognises the right of the people to adopt a
State organization in accordance with their own
views subject only to the limitation OF the Consti-
tuition; it calls upon no section OF the country 10
yield any of its peculiar views Of right wrong
10 Weld none of its honor Of its feelings, and
none of its prejudices; it obvaes all the injury to
the nation, and all feelings of violence that arise
and must arise upon the disturbing questions OF
slavery it yields to the South its rights, and takes
no one right from the North 1t takes from the
South the sting of supposed insult In the passage
Of an ordinance restraining the introduction OF
slavery, and il takes from the North the necessity
for the passage of such an ordinance.
ssResolusd That in ZACHARY TAYLOR we behold
q national President, an incorruptble patriot, an
open Wing, and an honest mana man wise In
counsel a. he brave in arms clear in his views
and firm in his execution; that his occupation OF

ton that our Government will come out of this fur
mace of trials like refined gold; that bis course as
President has won the confidence and regards OF all
candid and discreet men Of all sections OF the coun
try, as his brilliant achievements upon the held
won their admiration.
ssRssolvsd, That we retain confidence in the
old and we'll known leaders Of the national coun-
cils and will not dstrust their motives, nor pre-
Judge any measures 10 be brought forward by them,
for the settlement of the present exciting questions

day, a general and cordial agreement between the
President and the Wing Senators and Representa-
tives the best and wsest plan to accomplish this
patriotic object"
