following
REPORT.
irresponsible, and disorderly assemblages called
National Conventions, whatever Dsy have been
their utility In former days, have ceased to be expo
nents Of the popular will and that both Of those
Gently assembled at Baltimore have, alike, utterly
failed to represent the wishes Of their respectiv
psrties-We, the immediate representatives Of tina
portion of the whig party, and other independent
voters of Georgia, who are dissatisfied with the &C
ton OF those conventions, do hereby declare
determination to disregard their nominations, and
select other candidates to whom we can, with NOR
confidence, entrust the maintenance Of politica
opinions and principles;
those opinions and principles, many Of which W
hold in common with those whose nominees we 70
ject--we proclaim the following as our politica
creed -
l. The Government of tho United States is of
limited character, and it is confined to the exercis
Of powers expressly granted by the constitution,
and such as may be necessary and proper for carry
ing the granted powers into full execution and that
are expressly reserved to the States respectively and
to the people.
2. TIE State governments should be held secure
in their reserved rights, and the general govern
mont sustained in its constitutional powers and the
Union should be revered and watched over as "the
palladium Of our liberties"
3. That while struggling freedom, everywhere,
enlists our warmest sympathy, we still adhere to
nounced in his Farewell Address, Of keeping our
selves free from all entanglng alliances with foreign
countries, and Of never quitting our own to stand
upon foreign ground. That our mission as repub-
other countries form Of government, by artifce
or force, but to teach by example, and to show by
our success, moderation, and justice, tho blessings
Of self government and the advantages Of free insi
tutions.
4. That where the people make and control the
government, they should obey its constitution,
laws, and treaties, as they would retain their self
respect, and the respect which they claim and will
enforce from foreign powers.
5. Government should be conducted upon princi-
pies OF the strctest economy, and revenue sufficient
for the expenses thereof in time of peace, ought to
be mainly derived from duty on imports, and not
policy requires just Discrimination and protection
from fraud by specific duties, when practicable,
whereby suitable encouragement may be assured to
American industry, equally to all classes and to all
portions Of the country.
s. The Constitution vests in Congress the power
to open and repair harbsrs and remove instructions
from navigah!a sire.s, ..a IL :. ~ApValoIs .'...
SUCH sW are necessary for the
defence, or for the protection end facility OF COM
merce with foreign nations or among the States"
such improvements being, in every instance, no
tional and general in their character.
L. The Federal and State Government are parts
Of one system, alike necessary for the common
prosperity, peace and security, and ought to be 70
garded alike, with cordial, habitua and immovca-
bic attachment. Respect for the authority Of each,
and acquiescence in tho constitutional measures of
each, are duties required by the panest considera-
ton of national, Of State, and of individual vel
fare.
g. The series of the acts Of the thirty. first Con.
gress, commonly known as the compromise or adj
ustment, (he act for the resovery Of fugitive from
labor included, 1--WE receive and acquiesce in, as
final settlement in principle and substance, of
the subjects to which they relate, and so as
these acts are concerned, we will maintain
them and insist on their strict enforcement.
until time and experience shall demonstrate
the necessity Of further legislation to guard against
the evasion of the laws on the one hand, and tho
abuse Of their power on the other-.not impairng
their present efficacy to carry out the requirements
Of the constitution and we deprecate all further
agitation of the questions thus settled as dangerous
to our peace and will discountenance all efforts to
continue or renew such agitation, whenever, where
ever, or however made-and we will maintain the
settlement essential to the nationality of par
ty and the integrity of the Union.
y. Believing the limits of our Union, extending
between oceans. from tho British possessions to the
Mexican republic, are already large enough for all
the purposes of national prosperity and power, we
utterly opposed to all further acquisitions of ter
ritory whatever, whether bought with the treasure
Of the country, or the blood of her people.
10 Regarding the public lands as the joint and
common property of the several States, and holding
that partial appropriations either of them or their
proce to particular States for general or spool
Aed Objects unwse and unjust to the other mem
bers Of the confederacy, We arc in favor Of just
and equal distribution of said lands, their pro-
ceeds, among all the States.
IL. With the view of carrying out the principles
hereinbefore enunciated, and for the purpose OF
selecting men for whom we can more cheerfully cast
suffrages at the approaching Presidential eec-
ton, than for either Of the present nominees-men,
too, whose services in the recent great struggle in
volving the pcrnancnce Of the government, are a
guarantee OF thcir fidelity to the constitution and
the Union, and whose position is known to accord
with the above declaration of principles. and whose
patriotism knows no North, no South, no East,
no West we, hereby, nominate Daniel Webster, of
Massachusetts,, for the Office Of President; and
Charles j. jenkins, of Georgia, for the Office Of Vice
President Of the United States
IL. We recommended to the support Of the people
Of Georgia the following electoral ticket -
