the Federal Constitution, shall be ever re-

us the peaceful and perfect enjoyment of our
political, civil, and religious rights, we owe
our greatness as nation, and our happiness
and prosperity as people, and that the con-
servation of those blessing can be achieved
only by implicit fidelity to the Union, and a
strict observance to the Constitution.

creasing devotion to the Union, and uncom-
promising hostility to the odious heresies of
secession and notification, whether pro-
claimed by fanatics of the North or South.

ventlon, further agitation Of the slavery
question in Congress, would ieopardize the

not support any candidate for the State or
National Legislature, or for the office of
President or Vice President of the United
States, unless he be known, or believed TO
be, in favor Of the Compromise measures, as
final settlement of the slavery question,
and opposed to the reopening, in the slight
est degree, the questions involved in them
for renewed agitation.
Resolved, That in laying a tariff for reve-
nue., the duties should be so graduated as to
place articles, Of cur own growth and man
uiacture, in fair competition with those of

American industry and labor against the
policy OF foreign nations, as it is to protect
American honor against foreign insult

OF government by artifce or force, but to

right Of way and make liberal donations of
public lands to the railroads that have been
or may be perfected in the South West.

in the patriotism, political principles, and
Craftsmanship of Willard Fillmore, the

ecution of the laws, she deserves we'll ofhis
country" and is entitled to the cordial sup

dence in the talents and political integrity of
the Hon. Edward Bates, Gen. Alexander
