,0..t‘lt'iCl(‘,l'wllell ‘the Committee "on Resolutions
rtiadéit'heir report, and the following .l'€SOlllli0tl8
were read and laidon the table for discussion:

Resolved. That we see in the present condi-
tion ofthe nation, the most conclusive evidence
ofthe correctness ofour printiples, and that the
widespread ruin whit.-h -has involved every
branch ofliusitiess is only the legitimate result
nf thappojicywliich was opposed in the outset
by whig statesmeti, and declared by them to be
utterly destructive of our interests.

Resolved. That the principal causes. of the
evils under which we now suffer,in the opinion
ofihis convention, are the following;——- _
" 1. The experiments commenced by the ad
miuistrat on of,Andrew Jackson, by which a
"better-. currency" was in be introduced.

2 The creation ofaltnost five liuntlretl State
Banks, between the years 1830 and 1837,
mostly by loco foco legislatures.

3. The spiiit ofspeculation, which was thus
stimulaled to excess, and involved vast nitrit-
hers in hopeless batikruptcy.and by its reactioti
caused

4. The failure of matiy State banks, nearly
nine tenths of which were chartered by locofoco
lcgislattires. - .

5. The general war upon all banks which

.6. 'I‘he redut.-iion ofthe currency iotlie specie
standard which has caused

7. The depression of property of every de
scription, in many instances to one lialfits for-
mer value, and reduced wages in the same pio-
portion.

Resolved. That a protective tariff directly in-
terests every class of our citizens—thc far-
mer, by furnishing him a home market
and good prices. the mechanic. by protecting the
products ofliis ingenuiy against foreign articles
ofthe same kind; the operative, by raising him
above adcgradirig competition with the oppress-
ed anti ill-rewarded labor of the old world; and
the whole community, by the impulse which
it may reasonably be expected to give to every
kind of business. and the general prosperity
which it will diffuse througltout the nation.

Resolved. That the exertions of the .VVhig
members of Congress. in procuring the passage
of the present tariff. merit antl receive our
warmest approbation. while we see in the per-
severing opposition of the locofoco members to
protection in every shape, a new proof oftheir
opposition to the trtic interest of Conttccticut.

Resolved, That a currency of sound and uni
form value is indispensable to the prosperity of
the nation, and like the life blood in the human
system, is needed to give vitality and force-to
every other measure of relief.

Resolved, That the theory ofzi metalic currency

foco party, is ruinous to the debtor class of the com
munity, and opposed to the interests of our indus-
trious population and especially to the hopes and
expectations! of the young men of the State.
Resolved, Tltat the time has arrived when the
great battle against the radical and destructive
measures oflocofocoisni is to be renewed, and that
the elections of the next two years are to decide the
great question of a protective tariff against a vision-
ary free trade ; ofa sound currency against the ru-
inoue financial schemes of locofocoistri, and of the
interests of the country generally against that policy
which has brought us after years of suffering to the

Resolved, That we refer with an honest pride to
the ages of the statute book and to thergeneral
con ition of the State while, undertthe direction of a
whig government as an evidence of the soundness
of whig principles, and of the ability and patriotism
of the public agents elected by the whig party.

Resolved, That the extraordinary career of our
opponents during the brief period that has elapsed
since they have been in power in Connecticut, has
more than ever convinced us that their principles are
utterly destructive to all the best interests of the
State, and that they deserve what we believe they
will receive in April next, a total overthrow by an
abused and indignant people.

Resolved, That we condemn the majority in the
last legislature not only forthe vindicitive spirit of
many of. their laws, but also for the indecent man-
ner in which those laws were driven through the
two houses of the General Assembly.

Resolved, That we condemn the act of the last
legislature which provides that the Sheriffs of the
several counties may be elected by a plurality of
votes, as it violates the salutary principle that a
candidate should receive a majority of the votes of
the people, and opens the door of success, as was
doubtless intended, to the candidate of a minority.

Resolved, That the report of the committee on
banks in the last legislature exhibited a spirit of ma-
Iignity unsurpassed by any act of the session, and
that we consider it a true indication of the feelings
which that party manifested throughout the session
towards all these institutions, irrespective of their
merits or demerits—:tnd that we consider the refusal
of the majority to accept this report, as an expression

Resolved, _That we viewwith astonishment aswell
as indignation, the act of the last legislature which
disfranchises a portion of the freemeii for no greater
offence than that of “obtaining an education,”-
and that-we are the more amazed that such an act
should have been passed by a majority which, under
pretence of vindicating the right of suffrage, have
given aid and countenance to the anarchists of
Rhode Island. _

' Resolved, ‘That besides the gross injustice of the
disfranchising law, we condemn it as calculated to
engender a spirit of caste in society ; to array the
freemen into classes, and thereby to destroy the
democratic principle of equality upon which our
republican system is founded. _ ‘

Resolved. That the Registry law was intended
and operated as a preventive of fraud, and that it
vwasconvenient to the electors, and was generally
approved by all honest men, and that in repealing

their disregard of thepurity of the ballot box. - ,

'-‘Resolved, Thatwe are in ‘favor of the nomination
of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presiden-
cy-by a_VVhig,National Convention, to be holden at:
such-time and place as shall be selected by the VVhig
members of Congress. _ A . ‘

_Résolved, That having full confidence in the jus-
tice of our cause, the integrity of our candidates,
and the zeal and determination of our friends, we
believe the State destined to be triumphantly re-
deemed from the domination of a reckless and irre-
sponsible party, on the first Monday in April next-
and to this end, we‘call upon «every man who bears
the name and wears the heart of a whig, to be ready
for.the'contest. , ' '

extent very humorously adgressed by the follow-

The superanuated old Farmer atillridgeport.
takes exceptions fo, our article published two
weeks since, in \V;l1i('ll some of the leading
measures of a year's reign of locnfHCOi!t1'l are
noticed._ The manneroftnecting the statements
smacks very strongly ofthe disingenuousness
atitl dishonesty which usually mark the course
ofthe Farmer towards its Op|‘0ll6l‘~l3. ,

Oflatc we have noticed in our tieighbor,qtiite
a belligerent frame of mind. Wlietherhis new
borti zeal has an eye upon the Legislature, or
an arm chair with 8 dollars at day in t'neRepre-
scniative hall at'Wasliitigtoii, we have not been
able to learn. In either case, ifilierc is any
prospect ofobtaitiitig an appointment, we should
advise the Farmer man to hate his pantsloous
‘double vattiped’apo.1leii:tri.tliatlie may be fully
eqtiiped in case of a protractetl sitting.

lnlmeeiitig charge first. that the State has
been the “rendezvous for a bano'oftraitors," the
Farmer glosses the matter by the declaration,
that simply "certain citizens of Rhode Island
came into this State last Spring, and were suf
fered to remain uninolcsted."

It is a fact, almost to well
repetition. that this S.z.ie was traversed to a_nd
fro by bands of ruffiatis armed to tlieteeth and
steeped in treason, openly displaying their
stacks of 'muskeiry——fugitives from their own
State, using this as an asylum to coticoet their
murderous designs, and countenanced and en-
couraged in their hellish work by the authorities
ofthe State.

Respecting the refusal of Dr. Cleveland to
surrender Dorr. the Farmer says. " a similar
refusal has been given by honest John Davis
of Massacliusetts, to the authorities of Va."-
Tlie Farmer ltnows full well that the case
adduced as a parallel, has scartely any simi-
larily. Dorr was in open rebellioniagainst the
State of Rhode la'land,and it was on the ground
oflreason that he was demanded. In the case
cited of “Honest John Davis,” the demand .'was
for a slave charged with the crime of larceny.
and the reason of the refusal, was. that the
affiilavits on which the requisition was made,
did not contain rujicicnt evidence that the crime
had heed committed. Are the cases similar‘!
Does the Farmer conceive them io.be similar?
its intention to mislead its readers?
“There is no oath or obliga-

it nowu to need

or is it
Plainly the latter.
tion, which requires the Governor of this or
any other State‘ to comply with every requisi-
tion made upon him." No, but there is a
clause in the Constitution of the U. S. to
which we suppose the Governor took an oath
of fidelity, running as follows:

“Any person charged in any State with
(reason, felony. (See. who shall flee from justice,
and be found in any other State, shall nude-
mand ofthe Executive authority of the State
from which he fled, be delivered tip.” (Sic.

Is there no obligation here’! No perjury in its
violation?

"Casesofthis kind have been frequent." Will
the Farmer be so good as to name a few
cases of equal moral turpitude with the one in
qustion. We suppose they are at liantl!

Bold unsupported assertion goes for little with
the intelligent reader. Unconstitutional, though
a rather long word. is wrilzenpout with much
more case than, the proofs necessery to sustain
the declaration. If the Farmer willjtist point
out the unconstitulionality of a registery law
which has so long received the wholesale
anathemasof its party. it will be mtich more
likely to carry convcition to the mind ofits read-
ers. than the mere assertion to that effect. The
objection about the expense of the law would
do very well in theory. but-when compared
with the practices ofithe party in the last
Legislature, as represented in the bills footed by
the State for ivoryfolzlers, four bladed knives.
Swan quills, satin paper, and clothes brushes,
the consistency ofthe thing stands outiti rather
bold relief! Don't you think so, Mr. Farmer?
Democratic consistency in«matters of the pock-
et is sometimes very striking.

In support of the disfranchising act, the

Farmer repeats the stale abortions in the way”

of argument, which have been rung by the
Titties andRegister. “Neitherthe letter northe
spirit ofthe constitution authorises students to
vote for Representatives in any other town than
that to which they belong." Well, can a
Democratic Legislature go behind the constitu-
tion to shut those out from exercising ‘ the pre-
rogatives of freemeu, who have been secured in
the erijoyments of these prerogatives by that
instrument itself’! Or does the eonstituiidn
recognize any distitzctionbetween a student and
a mechanic,‘or ifjyou please. a gentleman at
large. ‘Let us have a plain categorical yea or
pay to these questions. We supposed the con-
stitution guarantied to all classesthe same rights
and immunities. p

The remainder of the Farmer's article is
mere verbiage, witnout the shadow ofan apology
for the expenses ofthe extra session of the legis
lature. , Had the Farmer as much honesty in a
good cause as industry in a‘ bad one. it might
have given the arguments for the $4000 and
upwards expense to the State in it much shorter
way. To secure an attendance ofa State con-
vention, and make the State foot the bill, was
the grand argument inlfavor ofthis extravagance
and waste ofthe"people's money.

But the last paragraph is a lecture on morali-
ty. _ Well, this perhaps is verywell. But we

' After the adoption of several votes of compli-

suspectthe Farmer has forgptten the interesting
scenes which took place at t

 

poles a few years ago, one in particular at
Tammany Hall. where, when the hickory calf
had been brouglit to an upright position in the
excavation which had been prepared for it,
sundry barrels of beer were broughtout-—their
heads knocked in, and the excavation made the
grand reservoir of their contents. The faithful

then prostrated themselves at the foot of their

idol—-upon all fours—and slaked their thirsty
souls f:om the pure fountain beneath! Perhaps
the Farmer's tastes will not enable it to dis-
cover anythiug "degratlitig" in all this-

The terrible story on the first page about the
cruel exposure and freezing of a boy to death.
turnsoui to be pretty much all _e boax—the lad
had two ofliis toes only frozen.

Azrcrrnrrn Dona VV.u*..--On Friday last
another contest commenced'in.this borough to
acquire ptisscstitin ofa building site. The parties
are Joseph W Hubbell, and Engine Company
No. 2, and -the nretnises‘, contemledfor, the gap
over Mill Brook, at the foot of Mill Hill.between
the old store of Lewis .‘v'lallory. deceased. and
the Cabinet shop of Judson P. VVriglti, owned
by said Hubbell. The first party. we under-
stand, claims one /ialfthe premises. as being
bounded by the brook. his right extends, accord-
to usage and law to the middle of the stream.
'I.‘li'eothcr party ground their claim upon the

‘right of prospective grant from the town--claim-

ing the title ofthe property to be vested in the
town. To obtain the sanction of the town
a meeting liatl been called. but indications ofe
move to obtain the occiipancy on the part of
Hubbell. lead to an immediate commencement
ofoperation by the firemen. Both parties had
their men and materials on the spot on Friday.
and the way the timbers were rolled about was
a caution to toes! Ito the course ‘of the after-
F1001] the fircmengjostled themselves into posses
sion of the premises, and on Saturday placed
their engine house IJPOD tlieflspot. Asia ibc
other war, the premises have been vigilaotly
guarded. Tl;-e troubles will be settled, probably
by litigation.

a late number of the Gazette. that brother
Trench ofthe Nt)ru'ichAttrora, has stricken us
from his exchange list. This is seriously to be
regretted, as our devil will now be ptit to some
inconvenicnce to provide himself with an apron.
