Resolyed, That it is the sense and senti

accord with US.
Resolred further, That it is of the first
importance to the continued success and
harmony of the Republican party Of Lopi-

of political and moral justice, that all the
patronage of the Custcmh0use at New Or

places should invariably be accorded the
oldest and most uniformly faithful and
competent members of the party: and with
this view OF political equity and Justice, we
express it as our sense OF right and pro-

Representatives in the Congress of the
United States should be heard and consult

this CustOmhOuse patronage, and also in
our prosperity and destiny az members Of
