WELLS
Secretary, ~ p. Cooper.
Upon taking his seat. Col. Yaneey re-
turned lis thanks to the Contention. for
the honor conferred upon him. in few
appropriate remarks.
The committee on resolutions reported,
through their chairman, F. P. Turner,
Esq, the following, which was unani-
mously adopted.
Resolved, That this convention accents
with pleasure and with pride, the nomi.
neeS of the Stanton Convention, as gen
tlcman worthy to be the standard bearers
of the Democratic party, and as such they
are entitled to and wilt receive the cordi-
al and active support of the individual
members of this convention.
ReSO!Ved, That in the mongrel ticket
presented by the party which arrogates
TO itself the title of the L" American Party, ,"
compo=ed as it is, of Federal Whigism,
Be-Nothingsm and States-Rights Demo
crazy, as embodied in Flournoy, Beale,
and Patton we recognize fusion and Il
trick, SO abhorrent to true Republican De-
mocracy, SO contemplate and unusual in a
Virginia canvass. as t. be unworthy the
supp ort of all good men.
ReSOIVed, That in Thomas Stanhope
IFlournoy we recognize a Wing Of the
True Federal Bank stamp, and one whose
sudden conversion to the pretended no.
principle party, is SO himsey and transpa
rent as to readily allow the ass ears to
exhibit themselves from beneath the lion's
skin.
| ReSOlOea, That we view the course OF
John NJ. Patton, in deserving the Demo
cratic Republican State-Rights party,
! more with sorrow that the confidence re-
posed in MIN 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 b. his detection
! Resolved, That james Al. H. Beale has,
| By his course for several years, convinced
the Democratic party OF this Congrcssion-
al District, that he was unworthy their
support, and that his acceptance OF the
nomination OF the so-callcd KNOWN 9TH
ing party is neither unexpected or regret
ted.
ResoLO.d, That the members Of this
convention will use all honorable means
TO ensure the election OF the State ticket,
and of The nominee OF This convention.
ReSolrca, That we urge upon the De-
mccratic party not to be deceived by the
trick o! the old broken down hacks and
tiickstcrs of the late Federal Wing party,
under this hcw disguise OF Know Moth
lngism, but to rally around the Standard
bearers of their party, and 10 do battle
again Ill defence of those principles for
which they have so long contcmded, and
in which they have 50 often triumphed. :
10 lay aside all personal preiudces and
local chickering's, and TO secure to Demo
cratic principles a complete aud signal
triumph over oppression and prescription
come from whatever quarter, AMI under
whatever shape and name ii may.
On motion, The thanks Of the Conven.
ton were then rendered to lis temporary

nsr in which he had discharged his du~
ties.
