ty and adversely, rejoice in the opportu-
nifty now offered Of making renewed
expression of confidence in the Nation
al Administration, and in the wisdom
and efficiency with which the govern
ment has been ad ministered under scir-
cumstances of unusual embarrassment

ResolUed, That we unanimously rec

ed for the suffrages of the people by

Rcsoired, While we lament most sim
cerely the irreparable loss of our Chief
Magistrate, ZACHARY TAYLOR, at a cri-
sis in our country's history which his
clear judgment and Roman firmness
seemed so peculiarly designed to meet,
we deem il mos, fortunate for the nation

distinguished and capable as WILLARD
FILLMORE, in whose experience and f.
deity and enlightened statesmanship the
people OF the United States have learn
ed To repose the most entire confidence.

cially due 10 the Hon. w. III. SEWARD,

which he has sustained i'm the United
States Senate those liberal principles of
public policy SO long cherished by The
Wings of the Empire State, expressed
in State and County Conventions, as
well as in the votes and instructions of
our Stale Legislature. Those principles
are eminenily National and Republican,
because just and equitable.
ResoiUtd, That the admission of Cal
ifornia into the Union as State with a
free Constitution, meets with our hear
ty approval: and as Territorial Govern
menss are established for Utah and New
j Mexico, without any prohibtory clause.
