MASS MEETING AT TROY /!

h H.~S -hEL llNU al IRO1 !.
A mass meeting of THE PEOPLE was
held at Troy, Indiana, on the 9th ult.
The following national, conservative,
and patriotic Resolutions were adopt.
cd; and they arc particularly crafty
ing hailing from State claimed so lus.
tily by the sectionalists, who reckon
in this campaign without their host:
Resolred, That the safety and per-
petuity Of our institutions require that
every citizen who loves his country
inors than party, should rally to the
national standard and drive back the
spirit of ultraism and fanaticism that
IS now causing our brothers to imbrue
their hands in each others blood on
the soil of Kansas, laying aside all mi
nor matters of political difference,
knowing no North, no South, and no.
thing but the Union.
Resolrcd, That the present disturb
cd state of public feeling between the
North and South is the legitimate re-
suit of the present corrupt administra-
ton and their advisers in making an
unwarrantable attack upon the band of
Fathers, and for all the deplorable
consequences that are following as the
result of their mal-administration, we
arraign them at the bar of public JUS
tice to answer to deceived and an
outraged constituency.
Resolved, That in the wholesome,
wise and conservative Administration
of Willard Fillmore, whose name is
before the American people for their
sufrages for President of the United
States, VIC have sure guarantee that
should he again be placed in that ele-
waited position, he will again say to the
troubled elements of agitation that
now threaten our institutions, "Peace
be still, and that quictness, harmony,
and respect for the laws which marked
his former Administration will again
be realized, and those noble sentiments
for the Constitution and the Union, will
supercede the fanaticism which now
exists in many portions Of our beloved
| Souully.
RESOLVED, That believing as we do
that FILLMORE and DoNELsoN, stand
ing as they do, on the CONSTITUTION as
their platform, are the only National
standard men, which the American
people, without regard to section, can
rally around in the coming contest !;
we wish it to be distinctly understood
that their friends are our friends, and
that in the present disturbed and fanat-
ical state Of public sentiment we can
not and will not, yicA one .jot or title
OF our nationality or devotion to tho
constitution and the Union, nor act
nor sympathise with any party whose
principles embrace less than the whole
Union as it is, and can render to them
hearty and cordial support.
Resotved, That We regard the Con-
stitutlon as the cement of our National
Union, and any attempt to weaken or
destroy it viii be resisted by us, no
difference under what species of pre-
tenco the attempt may be madc-this
we will do, not in the spirit of party,
but as frcemen, approaching the value
Of this Union to us and our children.
BcsoIced, That we approve of the
course Of the persons in attendance in
the so called Peoples Convention, held
at indianapolis, on the LIST of May, in
refusing to commit this Congressional
District to any other candidates for
President and Vice President than
Fillmore and Donolson.
