The Convention made no platform, further
than the adoption of the following resolutions
LIST. Resoired, That this Convention doth cor.
daily ratify the nomination of Willard Fillmore
for the Presidency of the United States, know
ing him to be tried statesman, who has hereto
fore, in.the same high and responsible position,
fulfilled every duty incumbent on him, in the
true spirit of the Constitution; and in the firm
belief that If elected to the Presidency he VIII
be true tn the Constitution andthe Union, know.
ing no North, no South, no East, no West, but
looking with the eye of patriot and states
man to the interests and welfare of the whole
country.
3D. That we will, with equal cordially, sup.
port Andrew j. Donelson for the office of vice
President, believing him to be a firm friend oil
the Union and true patriot, and feeling assured
that, in any contingency which may arise, hi
will be faithful to the Constitution, and infexi
billy opposed to every measure calculated to i'm
pnir ..the rights or cndanger tho safety of any
portion of the country.
Sd. Thattlis Convention doth most cmphatical
I " condemn those fcatares ofthc Kansas-Nebras
ka bill which recognize the principal of Squattel
Sovereignty, and thcrights of foreigners TO Yott
I Immediately upon their making declaration o
their ptrpsse to become at future day citizens
of the Territories; believing as we do that thes'
features are not only in violation of the piinci
plies of our naturalization laws, but cmincntl5
calculated to create dissentiOn in the Tcrritnre;
md to ensure the aScendency of the anti-slaverl
sentiment in every Territory which nlay lIeicat
ter be formed out of the public domain Of tn.
4 United States.
4th That in the opinion of this Convention
the ruthless spirit of prescription, and the harsh
I inYcctives which have been prachced and I'm
lployed by tile Democratic party towards tht
members of the American party are not only un
Unsuitable, but unpatriotic, and merit the Sc
we're condemnation of all good citizens OF Virgin
ia.
9th. That the Democratic party are justly re
sponsible for the embarrassed condition OF thu
finances of Virginia, and the onerous burden o
taxation undcr which our citizens now groan.
