The Buffalo Meeting Resolutions.

The following are the resolutions repor-
ted 10 the great anti-Adninistrs,ion meet
lug at Buffalo on Thursday evening, and u
unanimously adopted:
l. That political organizations are enti.
tied TO support only as instrumentalities for
securing just government and promoting
the public welfare; and when. from what
ever cause, they prove inefficient for thess
purposes, blind and passive adherence Il
their names and forms is unworthy Of the
citizens OF free country, and is fraugh
with consequences dangerous to republican
institutions
2. That the so-callsd Democratic party
Of the State and Of the county, has shown
itself unworthy Of the popular confidence
snd support, by an abandonment of its pro-
fessed principles, and by betrayal of the
trusts oonfded TO its keeping, since, in its
ap2ro'a' and support of the present Ma.
tIonal Administration, it has avowed that
il is willing to trample under foot the fun
dumenisl theories OF the government estab-
hshed by the fathers of the Republic, 10 en-.
courage and uphold the most despotic prac-
tices, and 10 ac9uiesce in the reckless and
corrupt expenditure Of the public treasure
by official, so long as IFS leaders and follow
ers can participate in the enjoyment Of Ex-
scutiye patronage and in the unelean drip
pings OF dishonest legislation.
4. That, in The deliberate judgment Of
this meeting, the National Administration,
under the direction and through the perso-
nal agency of President Buchanan, has be-
come despotism, making its own will the
law Of the land, using the money and the
arms Of the people to enforce its DEGREES,
and prostituting the power with which it
was generously invested, by majority Of
the electors of the Union, to the most sci.
fish and demoralizing purposes. 1t has
sanctioned the pollution Of the ballot box;
il has declared false and fraudulent returns
of desperate and dishonest officials to be
the popular will; it has made this declara.
tion the basis Of q movement designed TO
force upon people, entitled 10 its encour-
agement and protection, an offensive and
anti-republican constitution; and it has
done oil this in defiance Of the well known
popular sentiment of the country, for the
purpose of securing the undivided support
Of an aggressive and intolerant political
combination, organized and controlled by
the so-called Democratic politicians of the
South, who are justly regarded as dIsunion-
lists and slavery propagandists.
a. That this meeting, protesting; as it
does profess, desire 10 preserve the insti.
buttons inherited from the fathers of the
Republic, deems it duty particularly 70
condemn as Infamous the conduct Of the
National Administration toward the people
OF Kansas, who, asking only 10 be permit
ted 10 form their own domestic institutions,
without molestation and in accordance with
the doctrine Of territorial sovereignty as
recognized in the Kansas Nebraska law,
have been treated as slaves Of q penal COL
oDy and not as freemen of an independent
territory.
B. That this meeting deliberately advises
its brethren in Kansas to do all in their
power TO secure the rejection, at the polls,
of the Lecompton Constitution, freishted as
il is with brides and threats, assuring them
that they will always have the liveliest SYM
pathy of the country in their resistance TO
tyrrany, and in all their efforts to secure
full realization of their just aspirations for
self-governmsnt.
6. That this meeting declares IFS fixed
purpose to oppose at the polls the principles
and policy of the national ADMINISTRATION, as
we'll as the political organization by which
that Administration is sustained, inviting
all, Of whatever political ASSOCIATION hitherto
10 join it in an honest and patriotic effort TO
wrest the general government from the bad
and dangerous influences which now con-
troll it.
Z. That as citizens Of this great common
wealth, justly proud Of its progress, in all
things which ennoble State. we demand
an honest and economical administration of
its public finances, regarding a just and
faithful. expenditure Of every appropriation
of the public moneys as essential to the pu-
rity, efficacy and vitality Of each department
OF popular government.
3. For the purpose Of giving practical ef-
feet 10 the sentiments and purposes Of this
meeting, as enuncisted in the preceding res
that the chairman appoint COM
mittce Of nine 10 take such action, from time
10 time, as may be suggested by a wise and
patriotic discretion, to combine all the ele-
nsnts Of opposition against the present doc.
rines and practices Of the so-called Demo
cratic party.
9. That this meeting cherishes feeling
II profound respect for those Senators and
representatives in Congress, from the DIFF
rerent sections of The Union, who manfully
'purned the dictation Of the Administration,
md resisted, by their speeches and their
Foles; The adoption Of the Lecompton Con-
and that it hereby tenders 10 each
nd all Of them The unaffected expression Of
Is hsaslelt graft ude.
