Resolutions were adopted expressive of the prefer

Presidential Candidate, and without nominating. or
in any way anticipating• the decisionlf the Nation

ed their firm belief that Hata[ Ctai>_was the
Statesman, destined to . rescue our country' fur the
dominion of the present corrupt executive. •
At this stage of the proceedings, C. B. Penrose,
find 16 others who firmly and conscientiously
adhere to the nomination of Wm. Hurry Harruo .
protested against the resolutions, and being in a mi
tority, seceded from the deliberations of the Con

on the pail of our political opponents.: theso seem
ing difficulties;in the way of harmonious action, can
easily be removed. The Whigs too well know
what has been done by conceited . action, to throw
away their advantiges on subjects of minor impor

"principles not men, - soil when the National Con

esndidate, all will-be found-.every element of op
position will be concentrated, under the broad fold
of that banner,. which has heralded victory' in so
many of our sister states, and whose onward progress
Cannot be stayed by the opposition of a corrupt foe,
or petty dissentious among its.frientls. Till then, it
behooves every op .lent of Martin Van''Buren to
reason coolly and - 311pissionately, together, as cer
