This blast threw ,out an immense mass of}

Resolved, That we regard this as a distinc
tive feature of our nolictical creed,'"which we
!are proud to maintain before the world, as the
great Moral eleMent is a form of government
springing from and upheld by the great popu
lar will; and we contrast it with the creed and

of their intentions,,rehew and reassert, before
the American people, the declarations of Prin
ciples avowed by them when, on former °ego_
ca3ions, in general convention, they presented
their candidates for the popular suffrages.
1. That the federal g,overnment is one of
the limited powers, "derived solely, from the
constitution, and the grants of poWer made
therein ought to be strictly construed by lull
the dePartments_ and agents of the internment
and that it is inexpedient and dangerous to ex
ereise, doubtful constitutional, powers.
2. That the constitution does not confer au=
thority upon the federal government the power
to commence and carry on a general systeni of
internal improVements.
3. That the constitution - does not confer
authority upon,tho federal government, dir4et?
. _
ly or indirectly, to as. , same" the debts of the
several States, contracted for local internal im 7
PrOiernents, or other State purposes; nor
would such assumption be just or. expedient.
4. That justice - and sound policy forbid the
federal government to, foster one bronchi of
industry to, the detriment' of any other, or tO
cherish the interests of one portion to ; the
jury of another portion of our cotnmon coun
try; that every citiien, and every section; of
the country, has a right to demand and insist
upon an equality,of rights and privile,ges,e.nd
to complete- an amplo protection of . persons
; and property from domestie violence or foreig,n
aggression., 1 - •
b. That it isthe duty of „every branch of
