WHEREAS, we approve the sentiment of
President Pierce, as expressed in his iEaug-
Qral address, that "No reasonable man Of
any party will expect this administration to
be so regardless ofrespcnsibility and the OBJ
vious elements of success as to retain persons
known to be under the influence of political
hostility and partizan prejudice, in positions
which will require not on y severe labor,
but cordial Cooperation and whereas
Elisha Whittlesey is now and always has
been an enemy of the democratic party and
itS principles; and has held office under the
government for quarter of a century, TO
The exclusion OF others Of equal merit, hon
esty and ability, and in direct contravention
of the democratic principle Of rotation in
office; and whereas ihe late presidential con-
test was fought by the democratic party
with tie istinct understanding that in the
event of the election of General Pierce 10 the
presidency, the galphins add all their adhe
rents and defenders would be exiled from
office; Therefore be it
Resolved, That the retention of Elisha
Whittlesey in office by the present admins
tration, known to be as he Is, bitter fed
eralist, is calculated to injure and discour.
age the democratic party in the State of
Ohio; and had it been supposed that he
would be retained in office, previous TO the
late presidential election, we do not believe
that Mr.. Pierce would have received one
hundred votes in Mahonng county, much
less majority of 923 over the whig can
didate: and Ohio could not have been term
ed the battle ground by whiggery.
! Resolved, That we ale obliged to bear
with humiliation and regret the oft1repeated
taupts of whiggery in this region, that one
ofits bitterest champions is still retained
in office under the present democratic aG-
minislratiqn. and that, although we have
nominalIy Won the battle, they share the
spoils.
Resolved, That in Mahoning county the
voice of majority Of nearly 1000 for MIR.
Pierce was not merely voice in favor OF
a democratic President and heads of depart
ments, but grave expression IN favor OF
democratic measures and democratic men
to enforce them from the President down
through all stations under executive control,
the recommendations Of senators 10 the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Resolved, That though we accord to our
democratic U. s. senators the right TO the
exercise Of their legitimate influence in di-
rectfng the distribution of executive patron
age through democratic channels, (though
the mselves, ex senators, and other ex-ofh- |
ciaIs might receive an undue share, We de-
ny their right to misrepresent their democrat
ic constituents, by recommending the besto
wal of important offices upon our political
opponents; and totally disGrcdit the report
that majority OF them recommended the
retention of Mr.. Whittesey, and repel it as
d vile SANDER upon their fidelity to the perty,
a slander that would detract from and dis
grace the humblest laborer in the democrat
lc cause.
Resolved, That we would hail with pride
the dismissal of Mr.. WhttIesey from office,
whereby he and his family, wearied by the
tolls Of perpetual official duties, might once
more gather around his old family hresile,
and that it is the duty of this administration
to hasten SO desirable an event
Resolved, That We were, at the last pres
idential canvass, warm and stern supporters
Of democratic measures and democrtic men
and intend continuing such: and that this
expression OF our views is pot designed as
wanton censure upon the administration,
but free expression of the views OF the
Ohio democracy upon this subject, that we
have right to make, and consider it our
duty so to do, and that we wish the imme
diate selection OF democratic men to sustain
democratic measures.
Resolved, That we hereby request the
Washington Union. and all the democratic
papers Of Ohio, to publish the proceedings
ol this meeting.
The resolutions after being duly consid
cred were unanimously adopted.
