The committee on resolutions re-
ported through their chairman, r. p.
Turner, Esq, the following. which
were unanimously adopted: -
Rsolred, That this Convention ac-
ceptsi with pleasure and with pride,
the nominees of the Stanton Con-
vention, as gentlemen worthy to be
the standard-bearers Of the Demo
cratic party, and rs such they are
entitled to and will receive the cor,
dial and active support Of the liadit
vidual members Of this Convention.
Resolred, That in themongrel tick
ct presented by the party which ar
rogates to itsclffhe title of'the Amer
ican party" composed rs tits ofFcd-
cral( Whigism, Be. Nothingism and
States Rights Democracy, as elnbo-
died in Flournoy, Beale and Patton,
we recognize a fusion and q trick. SO
abhorrent to true Republican De-
mocracy, so contemplate and ,unu-
sual in a Virginia canvass, as to be-
unworthy the support efall good men.
Rcsolpcd, That In Thomas Stan
hope Flournoy we recognize a Wing
Of the true Federal Bank stamp, and
one whose sudden conversion to the
pretended no principle party, is SO
flimsey and transparent as to readi-
fy allow the ass ears to exhibit them
selves from beneath the lions skin.
Rcsolred, That we view the
course Of John NJ. Patton. in deser-
ting the. Democratic Republican
State-Rights party, more with SER
row that the confidence reposed in
him BY the party should have been
SO misplaced, and so abused and be.
trayed, than with regret for the loss
the party may have sustained by his
detection. X .. }.>s. III ...t...et
Resoluea, That James NJ. II. Bealc
has, BY his course for several years,
convinced the Democratic party OF
this Congressional District, that he
was unworthy their support, and that
his acceptance OF the nomination Of
the so-called Knaw-N Nothing partyis
neither unexpected or regretted. Il
Rcsolrcd, That the members ofthis
Convention will use all honorable
means to ensure the, election Of the.
State ticket, and Of the nominee Of
this Convention. N.Y.. g,..1f .ta- s.ss n
Rcsolpcd, That We urge upon the.
Democratic party not to be deceived
by the trick Of the old broken down
hacks and tricksters ofthe late Fed
eraI Whig party, under this new dis
guise OF now-Nothingism, but to
rally around the standard bearers Of
their party, and to do battle again
in defence Of those principles for
which they have 30 long commended
and III which the have 90 often tri-
umphed. To lay inside all personal
preiudices and local chickering's, and
10 secure to Democratic principles
complete and signal triumph over
oppression and prescription, come
from whatever quarter, and under
whatever shape and name i may.
On motion, the thanks of the Con-
yention were rendered to its tempo
