Afinr which, the meeting adjourned for
one hour. At tin ringing of the Bell, the
.Bf'ng acain ronvened, when the Com
mittee appointed for the purpose, reported
the following preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Democratic party
made deeply sensible of the dangers atten
ding disunion in their ranks by the disaster
ous results .which flowed from the dissen
sions of 1835.. are wow determined to con
et'iitrate their power, and present an unbro
ken front lo their enemies at the approach
ing contest for Governor.
Anil we as a component part of the great
democratic party of the State and Union,
will do all in our power to usablish a u
nanimily so much to he wished, and so
ne csary lo accomplish our purposes, and
insuiethe defeat of a vigilent but reckless
and unprincipled cnemy-
Wc therefore, most cordially announce
to our democratic brethern, that we will by
all lair anil . honorable means support the
nominee of the 5th March Convention; not
, only on account of the confidence we place
in those who nomina4-4- xtf. because.
h:. .-n hir, ;., ?ery way rwforlHv7'nv
py'pnnt'rpre)-...w,.f)artj!-ntrg;,Jty, qualified
to fill the chair ofStJte, with honor to him
self and profit to hi fellow-citfzens,
We will oppose the present incumbent
and if possible prevent his re-election; be
cause, we bejtfcve him to be a mere tool in
the hands of the federal politicians, bankers
and speculators.
Becaiise.he has done all that in him lies,
to substitute a government of corporations,
for the free government founded on the au
thority of the people, and instituted for their
paee, safety and h?ppiness, guarantied to
x us by our Constitution, Hut more than all
will wi' oppose him, because he is the pan
"der for the United States Bank, and oppos
ed Jo all the great measures offered for" the
action of Congress, by our great andpopu
lar "statesmen, and opposed by federalists
under the names of Tories, Conservatives,
Anti-ma3j)iis and Abolitionists measures,
which we firmly believe are necessary to
continue pur existence as a Republic.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we will support DAVID
R. PORTER, as out candidate at the ensu
ing elecrbjin for Governor, believing that he
is in every respect well qualified to fill the
office, anfl that his name will cement the
party antVBring out their whole strength.
Resolvid, That we will oppose Joseph
Ritner, id order that the Governor's chair
may once more be filled by an incumbent
possesing some pretension's to talent, con
sistence and political honesty.
Resolved, That we have entiro and undi
minished confidence in the wisdom and
Vaifiotism of MARTIN VAN BUHEN,
am! (he heads of Departments at Washing
ta. Tttsotvr,!. That We are grateful (o our
grt st ui :n pram statesmen in Uongress, for
it--: ,. ' t " ir, manly ami unanswerable ar

wy am nn-ir exposition of the flimsy, air
built i'iiilaiies of Wolwier, Clav, and oilier
jnnnons I-'f a monied aristocracy, and a na
tiona) Bunk.
Renohed, That our member of Congress,
tlm Hon. DAVID, PIS TUUHN, has enti
tled himself to our thanks and gratitqde, foi
ui iijHtilv and palrjotic firmness, in sup
port ol a divorce ol the uovernment from
corporation and in opposing federal men,
and federal measures.
Resolved, That we disapprove of the
course pursued by our member ju the state
IpjsieUtiire, JOHN UtnvtVlAN, because
we lave the best 'evidence that he prefers
the interest of bankers, gamblers, specula
tors, broUrif, and shavers, to the good of
his follow cjijzens generally.
Resolved That twe are friends to rational
credit, and a modarale number of banks,
chain red with proper restrictions and
jcgulalion, but are opposed to the precn
bankiug system, which is nly calculate

the honeil
anu muuKirioue, an
enrich the rogue and speculator. Andwej
days of that party which opposes a jeform
of the . hanking system are numbered.
The people have borne and forborne until
forbearance has become a crime.
Jlesolved, That we hold a member of
the State Legislature, as dishonest, corrupt
and unfit for the society, or support of
honorable men, who legislate in the
smallest degree on the system of log-rolling.
The man who would barter his political
principles for an appropriation to prop his
popularity, would, if he could do so wilh
equal personal safety, pick a pocket or
steal a horse;
Resolvsd, The we hold in detestation
and abhorenco the practico of duelling, and
we believe, what 13 lalsely styled the Code
of honor, has in the late Washington
Murdci, been used as a cloak, to conceal a
premeditated design in the federal party,
to effect by assassination what tbey failed
to accomplish by argument. Opposed lo
freedom ol debate and the combat ol reason,
they resort to murder!
Resolved, That We feel grateful to their
author for the masteuy Bill introduced by
Churchill C. Cambreling, Chairman of the
committee of Ways and Alsana, for the
action of Congress on the subject of the
Independent Treasury, and also for the
unanswerable and profound and statesman
like repolt accompanying the same.
Resolved, That the calumnies and libels
so industriously circulated by the torics,
federalists, dec. against David R. Porter,
are" completely refuted that they originated
in falsehood and are persisted in by folly
and wickedness, and only serve, to show
the length, to which the enemies of the
psople will go, to prop a rotten and corrupt
State administration,
Resolved, I hat we want words to
express, our detestation and abhoirance, of
the conduct ot those who nianaire the
afiaifs of the Pennsylvania Bank of the
United States; and the crouching servile
Spaniel like submission of our local banks
lo the dictation of the monied King, in
refusing 16 join the New York bank3 in
the'resumption of specie payment, under
the vain nope of perpetuating a system of
irredeemable paper money issued by
soulless and irresponsible corporations
for their own profit. We are at a loss
which to admire the most, their insolent
audacity under such circumstances,
vanishing the confidence ofGoierjyfieiit and
their fellow citizens; or tljftlr ignorance
aud folly, in believing, tho' can make the
one, o'r the other, 'the dupes of their
sdhemes to s windjpand. defraud.
ResolvedJPfnM we are utterly opposed
to our LeSislature granting power to the
lBjnks,' issue bills of a lower denomination

Out of circulation the "precious metals even
for the common purpose of change in every
day transactions of private life; and we hold
tile member of our party who suijrt3 the
measure as recreant to his duly and
unworthy the support or countenance of
honest men.
Resolved, That wo hold that man unwor
thy of a situation of profit, honor, or trust,
who advocates, in the Legislature or out of
it, a pastponemenl ol legislative action com
pelling the banks to resume, and remoddle
ing their charters, so as to cripple their
power to injure the community. The im
mediate resumption of specie payment is
iudispeusible to the dispersion oiMlie clouds
of shin plasters with which the business of
our lives is curted. It is high time th-it
the channels of circulation for the com
mon business pledges should be purified
from the feculence, wiih which the federal
ists, tories, banks, corporations, and black
cockade gentry of all sorts have corrupted
thctri.
Resolved, That we are not prepared to
admire the system of living on borrowed
money, so eulogised by the fedcnilihtb; wc
on the contrary think that tho good old wa
of earning money before it is expended is
the best: We arc well aware that the
banking credit system is an excellent de
vice to subjugate its votaries and make
them sacrifice every honest and manly feel
ing on the alter of the Golden Calf; but we
have yet to learn that it is characteristic of
worth and respectability to make prom-
ises never inieiiueu to oe periormeii bor
row money never intended to be paid to
indulge the idle dreams of fancied wealth
from some gambling speculative scheme,
instead of the old and sure path to respec
tability and competence by industrious,
honest, and attentive pursuits of somo law
ful calling.
Resolved, That we view all and every in
terference of Munied, or other corporations,
in the political disputes of the day, as an
aggression on the rights of their fellow citi
zens; and the candid confepsipus of Morde
cai M, Noah, a federal Editor, . that the
banks of Now York purchased the late tri
umph ol tederalism in that suite, luriusM
es a powerful argument that those institu
tions should uo continued in existence only
when thoy honestly and fairly perform
their part of the contract entered into with
them by the public. That is, when they
cense to Ho and redeem their paper promis
ee and abstain from meddling with matters
in which as corporations they have or
ought to have no coneom.

resolutions wore unanimously adopted.

Antiquities, On a high bluff near the
river, dea Pores, Missouri, arc a number of
graves, which appear (o have been existing
there for f-nturies and made for men who
were far superior in sire to those of the pre
sent day.
On the shore of Manmee river, near the
town of Fenton, there was an immenbe ce
mentry, containing several thousand graves,
all of them remarkably small, the largest
not exceeding four feet in length.
A Bor's Honor, Young Nelnon once set out

Burnt to Death. The Snmeiville
Messenger informs us that the wife of Mr.
Jacop Van Arsdale, of Hillshotongh,
Somerset county, N. J. aged 50, was burnt
so badly, last week, by her clothes taking
firo while in a wagon with her husband,
that she died in ten hours. One of her
fingers was burnt off. The fire was
communicatPtl to some cotton and lo the
straw in the wagon, by her husband's
tobacco pipe: Ho was also badly burnt.
Singularity. St. Francis worked hard
at banishing every appearance of singularity

which tendered piety odious and redioiilous.

Mr. Grant, from the committee on roads
and canals, reports on the sdbject of-a ship
canal around the falls of Niagara, that the
committee arc altogether in favor of the

the course of investigation, they have
elicited the fact, that the route from
New York to New Orleans, by the
Now York and Ohio canals and the lakes,
and the Wabash and Mississippi river, is
nearly two hundred miles shorter than that
by the ocean. This fact, in the event of a

THE GOLD BILL OF 1831.
This great measure of General Jackson's
administration, is now producing its rich
fruils, Gold is flowing into the United
States with a repitlity never witnessed in
any county. I he arrivals of specie at
iNew lork alone, now amount to about v
million ol dollars a week, and the greater
part ol all that arrives there is in gold. -,
rrotiabiy ten millions ol gold, and as mur
in silver, will arrive in the country t
year, and make our specie one humfed
millions of dollars. The gold alone vyll be
near thirty millions hy the end of iheyear.
It was computed at twenty milljtit last
year: and the branch mints ofNortlovarolitia,
Georgia, and New Orleans, yfir now in
operation. Thus we shall b!lvea national
gold currency, in a few nxfoins, superior
in amount to the highest oonntity of United
States Bank notes eyr in circulation.
Twenty-two or threemillions was the
highest quantity that 'ank evei got out,
and fifteen or sixtet millions was her
average circulation the best of her times.
We shall have nearoublc that by Christmas,
and by ihe end pCrftr. Van Buren's present

which will stand as a monument to the

Let it not be forgotten that Secretary
Taney was at the head of the treasury
when that law was passed, and gave to it
his most strenuous support; and let it not
be fortolten that Mr. CLAY, as a member
of the Senate, gave to the law his most
bitter opposition, and predicted the direst
evils from its passage: Let these things be
remembered; and while the deluge of gold
now pouring into our country proves that
a NATIONAL GOLD CURRENCY, as
promised by the friends of the bill in 1834,
is fully and completely in our reach, and
will be attained, in defiance of all opposition,
let it be well remembered that Mr. CLAY
and the BANK OF THE UNITED
STATES were the deadly enemies of that
law! that they opposed it, reviled it.
ridiculed -it, caricatured) its Wends, and
pronounced it visionary, absurd, and
ruinous to the country. Let these mpn and
their reviling!) be remembered, now that the
golden fruits of that law are gladdening the
hearts of all good citiiens, and bringing to
the banks and to the country the real RE
