DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN
MEETING,
At a very numerous meeting of
emocratic Republican Citizens of
Allegheny County, iriendiy to the el
ection of ANDREW JACKSON, to
the office of President of the Uniied
States, held at the Court-house in the
November 11th, 1823.

chair,
ed Secretaries
The following preamble and reso
were unanimously adopted :
WuerEas,— The elcction of Presi
dent of the United Stutes is now ap
proaghing, it becomes the duty of the
people to express their views on =o
important a subject. Although it
cannot bz doubted that the Democrat
ic party of Pernsylvania is almost
unanimously in favor of the election ol
ANDREW JACKSON, to that dis-
that insiduous attempts are vow con-
templated by a few designing individ
uals to repress the voice of the people
by means of a congressional nom'na-
tion ; ard whereas such a nominator
's unnecessary, anti-republican, dao-
rerous and unconstitutional, and
whereas the delegation system 1s
deemed the land mark of Democracy.

ascendency, and the only method by
which the voice of the people can be

entatives in the lower house of the
state Legislature to a convention for
hz purpose of nominaling an clector-
drew Jackson :
REsSoLVED,— That this meeting re.
commend Huntingdon as the flace
as the zime {ye holding this convention
BesoLvep-—That all elections in &
Republican government should be
made by the people.
ResoLvEp—That the right of nom
inating is: also vested in the people
alone, and that any nomination unau-
thorized by them is a gross assump:
ion of their rights, aud a palpable vio-
Lition-of Democratic principles.
ResoLvep —That this meeting dis-
approve of any nusiination of a prest-
dent of the Ugited States, by our rep-
resentatives in congress. }
- Beeause, such nomivation is anti
republican—a fraud on theiight of
suffrage, and productive of gross abu-
ses and dangerous intrigues,
Because it is a vio:ation of the
spirit of the constitution, which dis
qualifies our representatives in con
gress fiom serving as electors of Pres-
nomination would in fact amount to a
vertual election.
Because such a coursz as is now
proposed, not with the view of procu
ring an amendment of thé constitution,
vesting the election of President in the
people, but with the avowed object of
Sbstivcting the operation of its specil
C provisions.

no difficulty if there were but one dem

be attained? A special convention
cannot be held, and a congressional
caucus 1s liable to objections.
If, however, we arc to have more
than ene democratic candidate, we be’
licve the inclination of the people of)
Pennsylvania will be towards J. C.
Carumouw. Of all those named he is
iiable to the least objection. J. Q
Adams is supported by Robert Walsh
—Wm. H. Crawford has too much
“bargain and sale” about him —Gen-
eral Jackson is a worthy, and no
doubt a deserving man, but he 1s too
much disposzd to ¢ cuz the ears” out
of the heads of those who will not f{a-
vour his designs. J.C. CArmoux is,
and ever has been, a thorough-going
Democratic Republican ; of sterling distinguished in (he cabinet than in the
the electoral college, it is not so dan-
gerous as a virtual election by con
mitted to express their voice.
Resorvep—That this meeting
pledge themselves to support AN.

President of the United States,
Because, be bas ever been a firm
and undeviating Democratic republi-

Because, he was an active and
