Bed as follows :
Whereas As free citizens of the Uni-
States, we have' at all times a right to
ssemble and give an expression of our po
litical sentiments, And wiiukuvs, the hos
tile attitude of the Fedeialists in this coun
ty, of every name and grade, indicate to al',
that the approaching political contest is to
Sis carried to extremes- lhat an amalgama-
ion of antimasons, abolitionists, modern
whigs, who are the decsendents ol rcvolu-
fuonary lories, bankers, bank dependents,
1 and unprincipled speculators, is now agreed
'upon, by those who have ever opposed tiie
.democratic principles, upon which our free
'institutions are founded. And -whereas,
jftrTe signs of tho times clearly show that our
ijjoppouen'.s, in order to elect their favorite
candidate, Gen, Harrison, intend torasoit
Wtojall the low and contemptible means that
jbloatcd aristocracy and corrupt Banking
fTnsiituiions can bring into rcquuitirn.
iTIiBroforc bo it
' wffijResolqcd That the coming dontcst for
th'j election of President and Vice Presi
'jfnt of the United Slates, is of vital impoi
aTS!icc to the American people, as it is a con
'.'ftelt between the advocates of equal and pop-
Mar riglits and those who would curtail tho
' Jnghts of the people.
WBtRisolved That the working men of thia
country tho farmors, mechanics and labor
jjffSra aro the bono and sinew of the nation
tour safeguard in peace, and our bulwark
BJuvwar; who constitue the substantttl wealth
ftfj (he-nation and whoso honest assiduity
rVf.i . n , i . r ;
inline prouuee oi i-auor, sustains uio nriuci-
pie of social order.
?esot)Cfr-That we believo the present

'ftra'dinii, and speculating.

IV. r r. iiM i-i iv nnn.nlinnu Imnn nil lnmn.
jalic Aumisirauon, mem mo ui8approoa'
oton of every honorable man.
wBliesolvcd That tho cause of Daraocra-
eyt undor whoso banner we aro proud to
Ijftfarrayod, is the catino of our country, and
Jjfjtho political equality of mankind; and
lhat wo will never caaso to be democrats
jtahilo the land boars a plant, or the sea
rolls a wave."
')fl
'Resolved That tho Hartford Gonvcn-
Hion Tories, dandies and spcoulators, of tho
Inderal party, will find it an up-hill busi
jness, in trying to quell tho people by sing
ing" songs, drinking hard eider, and building
lojjtcabiiis.
'Resolved That in Martin VanBuron.we
trecoirnizo the nnlighlcned and able states
nun, the faithful public servant, the unbend
!nof lonii ined. and constant democrat, and

' tration. anil we pledge ourselves to use all
famand honorable means to secure his re-e

Resolved That wc consider Richard M.
JofSwon, the choice of Pennsylvania for
ViceMresident,and that, by i-o-electinjj him,
wo will be rewarding a man who, by tho
manyfscars upon his body, needs no corlifi-
fcalo to prove his bravery and worth.
ffletolvcd That in Martin Van Burcn,
.iV
-.VVrccngni'o tho very man fur the times;
,;lie,keeps nothing hid from tho people; ho
pursues no timid, winding, or time-serving
ij'pajlcy; he acts plainly and boldly, and re
Hiesvilh confidence upon popular virtuo and
KntJlTigence. Amidst every difficulty m
Rllufh ho is placed by tho opposition, he
B-almlv carries out tho policy of his Admin
Ratation, redeems every pledge to his polit-
loalfiriends, and smiles at tho vindietivoncas
offijia political foes. To such a man, wo
fetske prido and plcasuro in pledging our cor-
fliaVaupport.
Res'olvnl-tiM the clamors of the 'ene
mies of Democracy about tho extravagant
expenditursa of tho present administration,
are got up with a view to deceive the unwa
ry but this outcry of the federalists, that
the Administration is ruining tho country,
is but a repitition of the unfohndod clamors
raised by thorn against every democratic
administration since tho days of Jefferson
while our country is, all tho time, growing
in riches, tho public debt paid off, national
and privato faith unbroken; our flag, ptjblic
servants, and institutions respoclod in every
clime; every thing presenting a lovely pic
ture of smiling content and happy prosper
ity, oxcept the waitings of disappointed fed
eral factionists.
Resolved That tho assertion of the fed
eralists in this county, that the present Ad
ministration havo attempted to reduce tho
WJgcs of the laboring portion of our popu
lation to 12j cents per day, is as destitute
of trglll 33 the famous letter to John Biuns,
in 1828, assuring tho author of tho. Coffin
hand bills that the bone and sinew of the
democracy of this county wero for John
Quincy Adams, and against General Jack
son. Resolved That wc .will oppose tho elec
tion of Gun. Harrison, tho Federal candi
date, to the Presidency, because ho voted in
tho Senate of Ohio, to acll white mon into
slavery, for debt ;
Because ho says, in one of his own lct-
tsrs, that he joined, in early life, an abolition
societv, in Richmond, and that he is still
an abolitionist.
Because he is in favor of an odious pro
perly quanucaiion, to entitle n man to lite
rijrht of suffrage, and while Governor of
Indiana, signed a law by which every cili
zen was Compelled to own . fifty acres of
land, to enjoy the right of voting ;
Because ho held office tinder John Ad
ams, and supported the infamous Alien and
Sedition laws ;
Because John Quincy Adams said, " that
of all the boggars for offico under hi
administration, Win. II. Harrison was tho
most troublesome, and tho most importu
nate ;"
Because Gen. Harrison moanly endea
vored, m every manner, to injure Gen
Jackson, from tho limo of Jackson's ap
pointraents as Comniander-in-Ohinf-of tiip
army, until the expiration of his late Prcsi
dontial term ;
Bjcauso lie voted for John Adamsi, and
late, for John Quincy Adams, in preference
lo tho hero of New Orleans ;
Because he is in favor of a National
Bank.
Because ho has sufiVred three federalists
in Cincinnati!, lo take charge of him, as an
idiot ;
Because he is the candidate of the party
that attempted to prevent tho inauguration
of Gorernor Poiter,in ordor to prolong the
second "reign of tarrorj"
Because, he is the candidate of tho same
party, who marched armed men, with buck
shot and ball, into Harrisburg, by command
of a condemned Federal Govornur, and at
tempted to make representatives logislatn at
the point of the bayonet and at tho cannon's
mouth.
Because he is the candidate of the same
parly, who failed lo frighten Democrats
with buckshot and ball, and aro now endea
voring to cajole them with log cabins aud
hard cider.
And because, finally, he is the candidate
of tho same party who condemn tho people,
i!cny their supremacy, hats democracy, and
go for favored interests, and privileged
classos.

Primeval State. A. man stunned him-
self on Wednesday, and went into Wash

his person to tho gase of the passers by,
without oven a fig leaf covering such as our

this act, when it was discovered that ha

Wunstorf states that according to his obser
vations, tlio metallic luster of the scales o
fishes, is due to tho presence of the purest
silver, and that the 1200th part of a gram
of silver is contained in the scale of a carp.
Aftor this, we presume a scaly fellow will
be no term of reproach, and fish scales will
rise in the public estimation considerably.
How the poets will talk about the "silver
coated carp, whoso specie-ova sheen," etc !
Wonder if the fish don't deposit thoir scafes
in tho banks of some rivers !
