Whereas, the whig party in the United States,
although, successful in the late presidential elec-
ton and with majority in both houses of Con
gress are yet dissatisfied and reckless in their de-
nunciations of democracy, and, are now making
another bold effort to carry the ensuing elections,
las they openly avow) for the cause Of a0higgery,
and not of the Country, and have even proposed
to change our present happy and republican Con
sttution to effect the @nhaLto1oed designs of the
aohig party, who have promised every thing and
done nothing for the relief of the Country: there
fore,


ResoIoed, That we will not support any man
or set of men for any political appointment whose
notions so much at war with the principles and
doctrines of the republican faith and which, if car
ried into practice would tend to increase the dis
tresses of the people and bring incalculable mis-
chief and ruin upon our beloved Country


Resolved, That the donation of twenty-five
thousand dollars to the widow of VIM. H. Harri
son was unauthorized, unwise and improper and
deserves the censure and condemnation of the peo
pie, because Congress has just as much authority
