were found to be unsatisfactory and un-
tenable, and consequently has no claim
TO any democratic merit, otherwise it
would have been made in the first in
stance, and in good time for. those. who
loaned their money, on the faith of the
State of Mississippi TO have got it back
again. ,...t.


ResoiUed, That public faith is jewel
of inestimable value, and an honest name
is the most that many of US can leave to
our children, whatever abatement, there
fore, that reputation might make in the
tax-bill Of the rich, would be made at a
sacrifice of the good name and character
Of both the rich and the poor of the good
people OF Mississippi, and hence repudi-
alton should be rejected, both on the
score ofprinciple and policy.


Resozued, That we hold to the maxim
of Thos. II. Benton, union, concession,
harmony, every thing for the cause, no
thing for men, but the cause must be the
ever glorious cause Of Jefersonian dem
ocracy, which makes all the world love
us and wish US well, and not the cause
Of reputation, which is fast bringing
republican institutions into disrepute,
and making all the world hate US.
Resozred, That while the flag Of re-
pudiation is hoisted in our land, every
patriot ofevery party should let no cal
culations Of temporary defeat or sue
cess of party to which he belongs, tie
his hands from putting forth his
whole strength to pull it down, as it is
alike dangerous and destructive TO the
common country Of both parties.


ReSozUed, That as no party trammels
prevented the gallant sons of Mississip,
pi during the late war with Great Brit.
ain from fastening to drive back the in.
vaders oftheir common country, regard
less Of what party at home, democrat OF
federal, might profit by their absence
the time has arrived when Mississippi
should be herself again, cease for mo
ment to squabble on mere party politics
but rising superior to all party infu
ences, meet the Question Of repudiatior
as paramount to all other Questions, pu
down the common enemy, and settle
their party differences afterwards.


Resolved, That we consider the issu,
as now fully made up for the canvas
between an honorable redemption on tn
one han /, and on the other an unwar
rantable reputation of the public faith
and that the bond-payers, in the demo
cratic ranks, cannot cooperate with tn
repudiating party, and support thei
, candidates for State offices, without a
absolute surrender Of all principle, no
without placing themselves before tn
' world in the attitude of practical advC
$ Gates and promoters of heresy, and aiC
f ers and abettors Of the mischief of rep,
! diation. ,


: ResozUed, That the principles fc


which we contend, are the great, sacre'
: and immutable principles of public JU
n tice,, honesty and good faith, "sink
E die, survive or perish" as a party, v
E will maintain them with our voices, OF
4 votes, and our property, against polite
i friends and political foes. ..
. Resozved, That we will not suffer GU
4 selves to be deferred from doing our d

q country, by the artful clamor raise
+ against "dividing and distracting the r
publican party" We belong to Il
: ranks of the people as distinguished fro

: regard honesty as the best polio

his best exertions to reform the erro
