Resotved That we view slavery as an infrac-
ton of human rights-opposed to the enlight-
ened spirit of our free institutions destructive
of equality of power in their general govern
ment by enlarging where it exists, the consti-
tutonal representation--pos possessing an infiu- ss
ence against northern and western policy
and interests by promoting system of laws
destructive of domestic industry, and vitaly af
fectng free labor rretarding the natural growth
of population and Improvement, by the appro-
priation of large tracts of land for the benefit
of the few, to the injury of the many And
while in good faith we would maintain the eonl-
promise of the constitution the further exten-
sion Of the system should be steadily and
firmly resisted.
Resolved That tie Illegal attempt, now
making by Texas to include within her limits
that portion of New Mexico lying east of the
Rio Grande, and thereby again spread over
territory now free the curse Of human slavery,
ought to be resisted BY all the power Of the
National government.
ResozUed, That having uniformly opposed G
the extension of slavery, we are not able to dis
cover any necessity for new organization Of
the Wing party on account of this question,
and which may sacrifice all the rest of that no-
| Bile array Of truly American principles, for
which we have SO long contested, and which
! have contributed SO generously to our State
and national prosperity, and which may COM
! pei us to support measures which we have al
ways opposed as ntiAmerican,an and destructive
of the best interests Of the people.
Resolve& That the extreme corruption man
lifested in our State Legislature during the last -
session, and the utter disregard of the wishes
| of the people, which was there exhibited, in
| the elections made by the General Assembly.
limperatively | requires that change should be
made in our State constitution. by which all
State and county officers shall be elected di-
reetly by the people.
! ResotUed, That we are in favor of general
system of banking, which shall leave that bu-
sness free to the competition of all who will
deposite the necessary security with the poper
officers and that the property and capital of
banks should be taxed equally with other prop
I erty, and any existing defects in the present
law on that subject, be promptly corrected by
further legislation.
Resolued That the confidence shown by
/ the people of this country. in the patriotism
and honesty of General Zachary Taylor, in
eleeting him to the Offices of Rresident of the

that the ability displayed by him and his Cab
