Reored That the policy of James Buchanan with re-
gard to the acquisition of Cuba and his recommends.
tons on the subject to Congress, not only wise and
timely, but also spring out of impcrous necessity and
constitute the next step in national progress step
in every point and relationship similar TO- and governed
by the laws of national growth aud commercial
and territorial Wilderness and safety as the acquisition
Florida and louisiana and that the bill reported from
the Senate Committee Foreign Relations naking ap-
preparations TO facilitate the acquisition of the island of
Cuba by negotiation which places thirty millions of
dollars ut the Presidents disposal to that end represents
the will and desire of at least three its of the Aeri-
people, and particularly represents the WILL desire
and enlarged national policy of the democratic party
the Union
Resola That this leading measure of the administra-
ton of James Buchanan, well his whole course OF
policy, tends powerfully to obete sectional lines and
false geographical distinctions, and to unite the interests
and sentiment Of every State in the confcdcracy in
happy harmony, which adds guarantee to those al
ready existing of the future and enduring integrity pros
pcnty and progress in national greatness of the Ameri
can Union and that the unwaveng support of his ad-
minstIaton is the duty, and should be the pride OF
every true well wisher TO his country.
Rolced That the third congressional district IL par
tcuarly fortunate in having, at this time its repre-
sentative In Congress the Hon Daniel T. Sces and that
his able consistent and untirng support of the admin
istation his bold and manly stand upon every question
OF importance, ana ms upweafed assduty in protecting
the interests of his constituents well as the larger in
tercss of the whole Union reflect daily honor only
on HIMSELF but also upon the district he represents
Resolved That the disposition of the republican party
of this State to deprive the city of New York of it's just
rights and franchises disposition openly manifested by
them in the State legislature and developed every
ccvabc trick of partial legislation and petty malgnity
ought to excite the contempt and Indignation of every
honest and patriotic citizen of this city and
in In the mad and reckless spirit must
result in the separation of the city of New York and
adaceat islands from that part Of the State, the govern
ing motives of which appear TO be constant spite and
envy against and that IL the State legislature continue
to manifest the esprit of persecution pledge
selves 10 agitate without pause cessation for divis
ion OF the State and the erection Of New York city, Long
Island and Staten Island into independent member OF
the Union
Rcolp,d, That good government manilcsty depending
upon the SUCCESS of the democratic party and the main
tanning in its hands Of power to egsate upon right prin
oples for the general good and safety, will spare no
effort TO maintain and consolidate the union the party
in this city, and shrink from responsibility in oppo-
sing and defeating every aco and would leader and
dsorganzcr whose egosm and selishness may tend 10
jeopardizc that.unon.
