Somerset County Resolutions.
The following preamble and resolutions have
been sent to us for publication by VIM. Atkin-
son, Esq, of Embden: Ah f1A
Whereas, All Just government is founded in
the consent of the governed, and all true sover-
eighty dwells in the great body of the people;
and 7Att7t-ii''- u
Whereas, A frequent recurrence to the funda-
mental principles of civil liberty is indispensa-
BILE to the preservation and perpetuation of our
free institutions; and 900 i-
Whereas, Our State government is Republi-
can in form, but owing to combinations to ag-
grandize the few at the expense of the many,
and to the influence of capital, prostituted legal
and Judicial learning, and to venal and subsi-
died press, it is rapidly becoming oligarchical
in fact; and l2ll-9 ai,t 'afst
Whereas Party fealty should never outweigh
popular liberty, and our obligations to contri-
butte, in our political actions, to the greatest
good of the greatest number, therefore
Resolued, That the political problem now pre-
sented to the people of old Somerset County,
without distinction of party, is whether they
can best correct existing political abuses by
standing by the present political organizations,
or by laying aside past political differences, and
inaugurating new party that shall combine
the intelligent masses and reflect the popular
will 7ei
. I'd. Resolced, That the Republican party of
Somerset County has, ever since it's ascend
nebee, through the Vaccinations of few old
"blue light federalists," and cheap tools for
despotism, who in the infancy of the party,
l,rked round our County conventions and look
ed in at the windows, until they found the peo-
pie were with US, and then stepped in, and be-
ing totally destitute of public virtue have for
long years, with their money and combinations
been using the party for their own aggrandize-
ment regardless of the public veal. ~
Sd. ResolUed, That by packed caucuses, and
packed conventions the free use of money, ne
farious combinations, and other foul appliances,
the Republican party of old Somerset has been
sunk to the leve1of the old "Gun House Democ-
racy,' and must have become a shame and re-
proach in the eyes of the State. .rp
4th. ResolUed That our Senators have gross
ly misrepresented their constituents by voting
to change our county seat against the known
wishes of four-fifths of their constituents, and
by voting to fasten perpetual monopoly upon
the people of Maine in the shape of its vast
inland transportation by rail. In word,
we repudiate these acts of our Senators and
Representatives, with the honorable exception
of Mr.. Gray of Starks and henceforth shall
vote for no more cheap tools for despotism.
Reso.oed, That we request the publication of
this preamble and these resolves in all the pa
pers in the State.
