Still less does ho see the dan ger that is pretended to be apprehended by the abolition fanatics of tho North, on the. subject of the extension of slavery, lie very wisely remarks, that any acquisition''that is made to our territory, should be made without niiy provision ut all on the subject bfsiuvcry. Ho does not go for cornpnmiiVs, Missouri dr olhcrwij|C, but for receiving the territory without saying anything.on the subject.

Therefore*. - Resolved, That wo believe. in, and adhere to, tlio grout fundamental principlcslof free government, as proclaimed and; promulgated by Jefferson, arid, other .friends of the'people the formation of. tbp. Republic, rtnd as remind by Jackson* at a later period In cur poUti'etil history. •• ' Resolved, Tlialwc arc opposed to a National Bank —to a system of internal improvements by the gen-j oral government, such as is advocated by I the Federal parly; and' was* arrested-by Jackson s I veto of the Maysvlllo road jlill—-opposed to a prolec* live tariff “ for. the sakcoOTrytoclion’’ —opposed to a, distribution of the procifflifa6fJ.bc sale of the pnbhc lands among the Slaloa*'2fflßpscd to an assumpliori ol tlio debts of the Sldtdljflßio general government, either, directly or provided by too.bill introduced into in. Cost Johnspn ol centralizing nnd federal fondanoyi’whorcby the rights oflbo Stales; and of the people,-may be overshadowed by a great,central power, us jirbUary and tyrannical as ever was the Government of England. Resolved, That wo are in favor of an honest, eco nomical administration of the Government, strictly itliin the- limits of the Constitution, because.our government administered on . tliat basis,* is ,inca* pa bio of. tyranny or oppression! and is cn leu! tipp'd to promote tho happiness of tliff. pcoplo, and to*guard and protect their rights; and : because if wo imply powers ul that instrument which arc not necessary 16 carry Into effect the express powers which rfro delegated thereby, we arc without chart or compass, master rudder, cast upon the political ocean, at tho mercy of every tempest which rimy’assail us, subject to the freaks which Irresponsible may. as. sumo upon tho floors of Congress, and as much under the power of a legislative absolutism,- and with rights as dimly, defined, and asTcob(v pannol ern. barrass our nation in war in ttvj.dlaburscrricnt ofthe public funds, nor set up In pcac£ as the master of both tho government and .of tho people—as “a power be* hind tho'tlironc, greater than the throne itself.” Resolved, That we anun-favor of a strictly jevo* nuc tariff, one which has for its object tho raising of sufficient with other sources of revenue, 16 liqmdato theordinary expenses of the government, when cCondmlcally administered, because such a tariff properly adjusted will not operate injuriously upon'tho. great industrial classes of tho community, nor build up monopolies to cal out the people's sub* ■..• Resolved, That wo believe Urn tariff of 184 G to bo as fuir.nnd just njariff, as could bo matured .at the j time pf its passage, aiid that U relieved Uio commu tiiiy from the inequality nhd unjust burthens of tho tariff of 1813, and leaves commerce ns unrestricted perhaps ns can bo done, so longues it is the,policy of the government, to 4atso its revenues by means of , import duties; yet we arc free to confess that wo be- | liove the time is not fur distant', when there will still bo further reductions of tho taxes assessed ut the Custom Houses,than are even Imposed by the mild revenue law which we so highly commend. . Resolved) That the war in which wo are now un fortunately engaged is a just and righteous one—u war,'which has been thrust upon us by a series of indignities,, such ns is seldom experienced by one civilized nation nl the bands of another—a war, which has been gloriously and successfully prosecu ted, and while our armies have been distinguished for their valour, and. wielded tho weapons of death with direful effect with onn hand, they have extended the olive branch with tho other—a war, which was commenced .without cause by the trcaohcrous-Moxi ‘ cans, and which will teach them eventually, that 1 although themselves nominally n republic, they have - much to learn of international rights and duties, and i will have to yield at last submifsiboly to the progress i of a superior civilization, which will cvonfhuily, with t as much humanity as power surround and subdue s them. Resolved, That President Polk; and his able cabi net, arc deserving the highest, praise, for the faithful j manner in which they havc:diacl»orgcd llie arduous ] duties Imposed upon them—they have administered 1 the government economically at homo, and kept tho ( armies of the Republic nclivley engaged in redress- ( ing tho wrongs of lljcir country abroad, and the du ties of war, as well as of peace, have been discharged so quietly and smoothly, that hardly a ripple appears .upon the surface of events, while' tho most momon tons plans involving the destiny of millions of human being, have been matured, and are rapidly progress ing tea happy consummation. Resolved, That Vico President Dallas is a states man of sterling character, pure and exalted in his views, and manly, frank and patriotic in his charac ter. Ho meets a crisis, like-one accustomed to sur mount difficulties of a grave character. His firm ness and steadfastness in the cause of popular rights have endeared him to itiQ. people of tho Union; for ’ they, know', that whenever the maintenance .of tho Interests of tho masses depends on his decision, it will bo given without fear, favour, or affection, for (ho many against the foW—for tho liberty of tho pco* pto against the money ofthclrjwould bo oppressors— , for individual rights against haughty monopoly, ond 1 heartless combination. 1 Resolved, That tho administration of Francis U, Hhunk has been a brilliant epoch in the history of 1 Pennsylvania. 'Ho came into power when tho Com monwealth was weak and languishing—when her credit was tarnished, aiirHicr heavy debt was press ing down her over taxed energies. His wise admin istration soon restored confidence. Ho introduced economy and reform in all liio departments of the government. Tho people know that he,was honest and trust-worthy, and that honesty was exerted In behalf of the interests of tho utate, and tho effects wore as use Ail us they woro gratifying. The credit ■ of the commonwealth is now completely restored, a, wholesome influence has boon exerted by the Exec utive in favor of responsibility in banking operations,l and n salutary chock given to that grasping spirit dfj monopoly, which would rido over every man’s vote business, to moko room far a charter of rnepr poration, for the commonest affairs of lilW Ilq jins made a mopt excellent Governor, and lho;;pcoplo“.\vill rodent him over tho candidate of lho/‘/rt>rt Uaguo' 1 \ by un overwhelming majority. . * Resolved, That oiir candidate for Canal Co'imuiu sinner, Morris LmigAellV, Is every way worthy of l)io confidence of the nooplo.

A device so,shallow can only, expose llicir dishoncsly and trickery, and bring upon thoinsclyesillip scorn of all right thinking men, as| .well ns oftho community at large. , .Resolved, That itwas to have been expected, that the samo parly who concocted tho notorious slanders against Gov. Shunk in 18-14 in regard to hi,hle vthc Catholic procession ” and u his trampling upon the Amcrit'anjlag” and gulling forged and .false af fidiivlls to probe them; would bo guilty of similnt enormities for. political purposes again; and that they should attempt lojprovo that Mr. Shunk, and Mr. Miller his Secretary, and Mr. Pclrikcn his Dep nty Secrolnry, had endeavored to injure tho fail fame of Mr. Muhlenberg, by libellousnlid villainous publi cations, in a little dirty sheet in Harrisburg, whoso tfditora and proprietors were in league with tho Fed oraHsts themselves; or that Ihcy-ehould raise any oilier absurd and wicked story,'wliich would bo most likely to effect their purposes, if they could got the; people to believe them..-'Those Inst glanders have been ns triumphantly and effectually proven fals|VnB were tho “ZnWfl andflag" ‘stories of 1844, and will recoil upon the heads of those who invented them.

Whether our public works a great source of revenue shall bo given away for the purpose of enriching a mammoth company to be, chartered with exclusive privileges, or bo re tained ns a means of paying the interest of the Stale debt. In (mo whether democracy or aristocracy shall I triumph. Therefore, ' . ! Re*olved t That tho election of Fuancis R.
