WILS granted to the committee to prepare the address sr their leisure: RESdtIITIONA. Resolved, That the American democracy place tlreirirustnot in factitioussymbols, main displays and nppcals insulting to the judgments add subversive of the intellect of the people, but in a clear reliance upon the intellizenee, the patriotism, and the discriminating • justice of the American masses. .- Resolved, That we regard this as a distinctive-fea ture of our political creed, which we are proud to i lle maintain before the world as the great al element in a form of government,. springing fro _ upheld, by the popular will; and we contrust-it Wi - creed and pi artice of federalism, tinder whate , kr'riante or form, which seeks to palsy the will of the constituent, and which considers 110 imposture too monstrous fur the public credulity. Resolved:therefore, That en . iningthese views, the democratic . party of this U through their de ' legates assembled in a general: Convention of the States, coming together in It spirit of concord, of da ' votion to-the-d o ctrine. nowt faith of ak.free representa ._ live government, and app et g to their fallow - citizens for the rectitude of their i n fions, renew and re-as- sort. before the American people,the declination of principles avowed by thein wham in a Cornfer . oecasiOn, in general convention. they presented their candidates fur the , popular suffrages:—r 1. that the federal government is one of limited powers, derived solely from the constitution, and the grants of powerAshowtitherein, cinett to be strictly constructed by all the depattments and agents of gov ernment, and that it is inerSpedient and dangerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers. 2: That the constitution does not confer upon the general government the power to commence and car ry on a general system of internal improvements: • 3" Thar the. tattlaStitlitioll dose Slat - cOnTer authority upon the federal government, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of the several States, contracted fur local internal itnprovements, of oilier State purposes; nor would such assumption be just and expedient. 4. That justice and mound policy forbid the fede ral government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common -country; that every citizen and every section of the country has a right to demand and insist upon an equali ty of rights and privileges, and to complete and ample protectipP. of persons and property from domestic via lentowygorigit aggression. s."Millit it is the duty at every branch of the govern ment enforce and practise the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more reve nue ought to he raised limn id, required to defray the tn•cessary expenses of the government. G. That Congress hits no power to charter a nation al bank; that we believe such nn institution 011 C of deadly hostility to the best interests of our country. dangerous to our republican institutions and the fiber ties of the po,ple. and calculated to place the business of the country within the control of a conqpirited money putter, and above the laws and will of the pee- Rle. 7. That Congress has no power, under the consti tution, to interfere with or control ! the domestic insti tutions of the several States; and that such States are the sole and prnperjudges of everything appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the constitution that all eff.lrts of the abolitionists, or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto. are viten ' lated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous con sequences; and that all such t Worts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger thrt stability and permanency of the Union, and ouzht not to he countenanced by any friend to our ' I political institutions. 8. That the separation of the moneys of the gov eniment from banking institutiin s, is indispensable fur the safety of the funds oldie government and the rights of the people. 9. That the liberal principles embodied by Jeffer son in the declaration of independence, and sanctioned in the constitution, which makes ours the land of lib erty, and the a-glum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in tho democratic faith; and every attempt to abridge the present privi leges of becoming citizens and the owners of soil a mong us. °alio to be resisted with the same spirit which s wept the alien and sedition laws from our stat ute book. Resolved, That the proceeds of th i s public lands !tight to be sacredly applied to the national objects rpecilied in the constitution; end that we are eppozed to the law lately adopted, and to any law for the dis tribution of such proceeds among the States, as alike inexpedient in policy and repugnant to the constitu tion Resolved, That we are decidedly opposed to taking from the President the qualified veto power by which he is enabled. under restrictions and responsibilties, amply sufficient to guard the public interest, to sus pend the passage of a bill, whose merit s cannot secure the approval of two-thirds of the Senate and (louse of Representatives, until the judgment of the people can be obtained thereon, and which has thrice saved the American people from the corrupt and tyrannical domination of the Bank of the United States. Resolved, That oar title to the whole of the Tern-- tiny of Oregon is clear and enwestionahle; that no portion of the same ought to be Wieder! to England nr anti other power, and that the re-occupation of Oregon and the reannexation of Texas, at the earliest practi cable period, are great American measures which this convention recommends to the cordial support of the democracy of the Union. Resolved, That this convention hereby presents to the people of the United States, James K. Polk, of Tennessee. as the candidate of the democratic party for the office of President, and George M. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, RS the candidate of the democratic party for the office of Vice President of the United States. R i esolved, That this convention hold in the highest estimation and regard their illustrious fellow-cititen, Martin Van Buren of New York: that we cherish the most g mein' end abiding sense of the ability., integri ty, and firmness with which be discharged the ditties of the high office of President of the ,United States, and especially of the inflexible fidelity with which he maintained the true doctrines of the constitution, nod the measures of the democratic party during his trying and nobly arduous administration; that in the memo rable struggle of 1840 he' fell a martyr to the - great principles of w ich he was the worthy representntive, and we revere him as such; and that wallttreby tender to him, in his htinotable retirement,t 'ittlithrance of ftik . the deeply Rented confidence, alftetito;.: " :erect of the Aroeric,on democracy.
