) ResoI1ed, That we highly disapprove Of
the inscriptions manner in which some
individuals Of both the Democratic and Whig
parties, indulge in abusive epithels, and in
sulting reProach, and impugn the motives,
Of such as differ with them in opinion as 10
the States obligation 10 pay the Union and
Planters Bank Bonds, that we consider the
indulgence Of such a spirit, as undignifed,
unmanly, anli-republican; ;tending to disturb
the harmony and peace of community; TO
abridge freedom Of opinion and of speech,
and as tending TO defeat even the last hope
Of the patriot, the success Of our free in
stitutions. Therefore, while we always main
tain legitimate freedom of speech, we ear
nestly recommend 10 our fellow citizens
moderation, dignity, and liberalty Of senti-
ment in all their discussions, and abiding
confidence in the honesty and Intelligence
Of the people.
