.. Resoired, That much as they lament
the defeat Of the great leader Of the party in
the last Presidential Campaign, they are con-
solcd by the reflection that the vote of Mary
land was given to place first IN honor him
whom they believed first in merit: That the
evidences gathered from the election returns
| indn CO the belief that his defeat was accom-
| pshcd by the preparation CT the most stu
pcudpus frauds, by the propagation of every
species OF SANDER, by the adoption of every
means of defence that rancor could suggest
or malignity desire. and the prosecution Of
them with that vindic,ivc zeal, which pre-
cninently belongs to the Democratic Party
| a zeal which knows no abatement and u
rccklessness which admits of no scrnpl that
in view of the fact they rejoice that in the
contest for the supremacy Of American Prin-
ciples million of men stood firm refusing
to bow the kncll to either Baal and comfort
themselves with the reflection that living
| his election again to the Presidency would not
add one le,f to the chaplet Of his glory nor
dcrd, would build one stone upon the monu-
ment of his shame. Trusting to the recor Of
that impartial history which can discrimi-
nate between the evil and the good they re-
| sign him with the evidence that his eminent
services will he rcquited by postcrty and
that when the names of his ira lnccrS shall
have been forgotten or remembered only to
be dcspiSed, the memory of lAliilard Fill
more will live wherever human freedom rises
above the thrall of human tyranny. while
American Liberty has a name and resting
| place to be cherished in the hearts of his
couLtrvmen. ",c1nrum ct venerable nomcn.'

doctrines which he in connection with the
wings Of this county generally have been
battling against for the past twenty years.
The Americans Of this district call upon all
:" old line Wings" who still maintain their
ancient faith who are still DESTROYS Of over
throwing the Satanic Dominion which has
cursed the state for years past-Who still
feel their ancient enmity to that party which
in former days sgnalized itself by sandering
Henry Clay into his grave, and in modern
Zines BY the shooting and inhuman butchery
of unotfending men in the streets Of the
capitol Of the uaton-to again rally around
that standard which they have twice followed
to victory in this state toagain prove them
selves worthy Of their anci gut high name.
and by placing men who wish " Americans
to rule America" in power receive to the
state the future blessings and imT rovencnts
which the record Of the past actions of the
American party guarantees.
