 l yMr. Diron chairman of committee on resolu- tiens, reported the following Whereas the great questions of public policy, now presented to the people of this Union, demand their careful and dispassionate consideration, and their decision if in accordance with the principles of truth and justice, will vitally affect the interests of the nation, and especially promote the welfare of the Young Men of Connecticut and whereas on the subject of the Protection of American industry -the disposition of the public lands, the regula- ton of the currency, and nearly all the other great questions which interest the people, erroneous doc trines promulgated and sustained by the loco fo l co party :--We kse Whig Young Men of the State of Connecticut. in general Convention assembled on this suspicious occason,--the Birthday 0f Me Father of his Country, wishing to express in the most public manner, our political sentiments, do resolve as follows :- 1. Resolved, That we regard as first in impor- tance to the welfare of State and Nation, affirm adherence to the protective system, as embodied in the present tariE-a measure of Relief which was carried by the ceaseless and untring exertions of the Wings in the last Congress, against every ef- fort the part of locofocoism to its defeat and in spite of the most dscouragng opposition on the part ofthe executive branch ofthe government. 2. Resoiued, That we pledge ourselves to SUD- port and maintain the present Tariff, against the assaults of its enemies open disguised, believing that by its benign influence it had already restored confidence and prosperity to suffering country harmonized Labor and Capital ,and given profitable employment to both--encouraged agriculture by in- creasng the demand for its staple productions and difused the richest blessings far and wide through out the nation.

 g. Resolued, That we rejoice in the fact that this great measure of Whig policy, has far exceed ed the sanguine expectations of its friends as well as disappointed the malignant predictions of its enemies inasmuch, as it has not only furnished adequate protection, and constant, we'll paid em- Pioyment to American industry. but is also pouring into the national treasury, full and abundant Rev. enue, amply sufficient to supply the wants of an administration, conducted, as the next will be, with proper economy.

 4. Resolved, That were this great measure in which the principle of Protection, notwthstand- ing the opposition of Martin Van Buren and his adherents, has so signnally trumphed, the only benefit to the country occasionec by the success of the Whig party at the last presidential election, the Whigs of Connecticut would feel fully reward. ed by this alone, for all their labors in that memo. rable and glorious event of which was only foretaste of the far brilliant and endu. ring triumph, which awaits us in the coming con- test.

 g. Resolred, That a recruited and increasing rev. enue-reviving trade and commerce--and gener. al feeling of confidence, arising from the belief that Whig measures will be sustained une0uivocally at- test the correctness of that comprehensive and ben. e6cial policy of the Whig party which is becom- ing daily appreciated by the strong good sense of the people.

 6. Resoleed. That we hold it to be a constitu- tional duty of the General Government, to provide sound National currency, of equal value in every part of the Union.

 2. ResoiUed. That the interest of this State. in that vast national property-the public lands. has never been alienated, and that SO long as there ia hope that justice may yet be done to the old thir teen States, we shall never cease to demand our proportion of that almost inexhaustible fund which. could 1t be equitably distributed, would be source of immense wealth to this State would educate our children, perfect our internal improvements, pay all the expenses of govern- ment and relieve us forever from the burdens of taxatiou.

 8. Resoived, That in the course pursued by our political opponents with regard to the public lans we see full and tair illustration of the manner in which they are always ready to sacrifice the inter- esis oi the State to the requirements of party.

 9. kesofved, That we tender to those Whiv members ot the last Congress, who voted for the present taTi at the risk of incurring the displc,s nre of their immediate constituents. our most sim cere and heartfelt thanks for thus magnanimously pursuing course of policy, which though it nav

 personally injure themselves, has restored the pvoS perity of the Nation.

 iO' ResO'UeS, That his Excellency Martin Van
