to be hoped such puerility would not be
attempted again after the signal rebuke of
184-0. But we are disappointed. The
democratic convention at Baltimore de-
creed that the sub treasury should. be re-
stored. and not a man of the party has
dared to resist. '
Next, the repeal of the Tariff, and as
far as the administration is concerned, up-
on ,_tbe ground that there is no power in
the National Government to regulate for-
eign commerce so as especially to favor
the industry of the country. By improve-
ments in navigation We are brought as .Il.
were, in sight of the workshops of Bir-
mingham and Mancliester, and hear the
sound of their hammers now moving with
increased activity, since to them is secured
the American market. President Pol‘-4 in
his message says there-is nofisiich power
in the Constitution‘. Mr. Walker says
there is none, and the British Parliament
respond there ought to be none. Fellow
whigs, this is a libel on the Constitution.
Without such a power, and such a pur})o.s‘r'
too, that instrument had not been framed.
As the sons of men who most conspicuous
in originating the convention that framed
the Constitution, and in the first Congress,
which developed this cherished principle,
we will not submit to the denial and pro-
scription of its greatest excellence. We
will‘ not remit our utmost efforts until such
notion.-rs are reprobated and rejected.
The Ann'ex'ati*o'n« of Texas, is, so far as
it'_ r‘es'p‘e'cts Mexico, an‘ act of violence and
outrage without precedent in modern
times, unless it be the partition of Poland
by Russia, Prussia and Austria. The act
has been held to be one of dishonor in
those powers, by the rest of Christendom.
We lie undera like reproach. . Annexation
has been followed by \var—bloody war.
The plains of Mexico are filled with armies
and red stained banners. Division follo\vs
division under accomplished generals.—
Gallant soldiers rush to danger and to_
death. Blood flows freely, and the shrieks
of terror and massacre fill the ‘land. Can
heaven approve this"! It is estimated that
it costs the United States two millions of
dollars every week to prosecute the war!
is this to conquer a peace from a powerful
and dangerous foe’! Is itto defend our
borders from threatened invasion? Is it
for the glory of arms’! Is it in truth to
obtain a few millions of money due from
Mexico, which, by the d‘evest'a-rion of war,
she‘ is made doubly unable topay? No—
no. It is for the acquiszrion of territory,
and thereby to establish a Southern pre-
ponderance in the government.- It is to
nourish and extend the roots of slavery,
and to raise‘ a’ barrier‘ around it which no
time" or‘ effort can surmount. \Vhile we
honor the‘ brave men who, fighting at the
command of the Executive, have shed new
liustre upon our arms, we fear not a few of
our countrymen have rushed to the contest
to gratify the chivalry and romance of
of following in the footsteps of Cortes and
‘re-v-elli-ng in the halls of the Montezumas.’
The A-meri-can people do not approve of
this war,. nor do they now desire the pros-
ecution of it. Neither they nor their rep-
resentatives originated or declared it; I/ze
executive alone is its auihor. He is respon-
sible to God, his judge, for every life lost,
every?pain inflicted, every dollar expen-
ded, and for all the direful and untold evils
which follow in the train of war. The
whole christian world cries out against us.

for the mean enactment of a criminal law

In view of these things, who is not ready
and anxious once more to raise the Whig
banner’! once more to overthrow a party
carrying the country headlong to ruin?

The Committee on Resolutions reported the
following by their Chairinun, Mr. Stuart.
1. Resolved, That the present alarming
posture of public aflnirs calls for the patri-
otic efforts of every citizen to retrieve our
condition, and that with an exhausted
Treasury——a war against American industry
——a war against indispensable public im-
provements, and the righteous claims of
our own citizens; and worse than all a
war of invasion and conquest commenced
by the executive and carried on at an enor-
mous expense of blood and treasure, the
present adniinistiatiou has shown itself
powerful only for evil, and that the time
has arrived when the people must interpose
progress of misrule.
2. R:-solver], That the rights ofAinerican
Lubor, though abandoned by the Adminis-
tration, are not abandoned by the People,
to whom the Tariff of _l84~‘2. was of peculiar
importance, protcctimz their industry from
foreign competition, insurin,q to the laborer
constant employment and adequate wages,
furnishing to the farmer a home mnrlset
for his productions and diffusing prosperity
throughout every class of the community :
and that the restoration ofthe principle of
protection, must rouse the exertions and
en‘ist all the energies of the great laboring
and producing masses, until American in-
terests shall predominate in an American
Congress.
3. Ros-wlverl, That the Tariff of 1946 has
already cast a gloom over our whole coun-
try, and that when fully in operation it
will palsy the hand of industry, clog the
wheels of enterprise, depress \vages, de-
range the currency, and reduce the value
of every species ofproperty, and that while
it is thus injurious to our 0 r u people, the
benefits which it confers on a foreign na-
tion render it emphatically a British Tar-
ill.
4- Resoliaczl, That while we are ready
with patriotic devotion to stand by our
Country in all emergencies and to defend
her at every personal sacrifice from ene-
mies at home and abroad, we call on the
Administration to make earnest cndeavors
to bring to a speedy and lionorable termi-
nation, tbe war of Conquest and Invasion
which this Cristian country is now tvnging
in the heart of a neighboring Republic,
that the further extravagant expenditure
of treasure may be checketl, and that liti-
inan blood in its prosecution may cease to
flow.
5. Iieaolv (I, That while we cherish with
ride the valor oftbose gallant officers and
soldiers who have fallen on the battle fields
of Mexico, and honor the bravery of all
who have sustained our national character
for military coiiriige. we still hold the Ad-
ministration to a strict accountability for
pliingiiig the country into a war with a
feeble sister Republic—a war involving an
enormous expenditure of money and of.hu-
‘man life.
6. Resolved, That the Veto power has
l
‘"’l°'“' ‘““°“g 3 cal"-hone People! “re 59"“ been rendered doubly odious to the PeoPle
to-have’ forgotten the age in which we
live, and to have hastened to imitate the
nations of antiq,uit-y.. Greece and Rome
overrun nations and subjugated thv.:m~.-—
Our armies are traversing Mexico under‘
the command ofintrepid and accomplished‘
generals,for /ier subjugation. As conquests
are achieved, the acquisitions are added
to the United States, the conquered? inhab-
itants sworn to a new allegiance, and gov-
ernors and judges installed over them to
administer the laws. New colonies, thou-
sands of miles from us’, are established at
an enormous expense, and without even
consulting Congress.
In the mean tiuie, our national expen-
ses are accumulating beyond all calcula-
tion. O-ur navy and army filling up by
thousands. The excited in-habittan-ts of
the west and south west are summons-d. to
battle fields in distant and« unhealtliy
regions; while our resources are dimin-
ishing, and experiment following experi-
ment, until the wildest theorists shall be
satisfied ofhis folly. \V'nat but ruin can
come of this’! One united‘ ell-"or-t-s must be
made by the whigs, and speedlily made, or
our country is undone. The Senators and
Representatives in Cong ess must sound
the alarm. They must no longer be silent,
but speak boldly, in tones of thunder, that
shall reach the ears of our rulers. We
must alljoin to swell the indignation of
the entire land, and sweep this miserable
administration from place and power.~
Besides, the executive has made alarming
encroachmenlts upon the legislative power.
On vital subjects, Congress is li-ttrle else
than an assembly to register the presiden.t’s.
commands.
He makes war, raises armi-es, selects
oflicers and requires the-Sita-tes to;commis
sion them, overruns foreign territories,"
establishes colonies, issues paper money
by millions to meet his necessities; while
by his vast patronage and the iron despo-
tism of his veto power, he holds his party
at his: bidding and is changing the charac-
ter oftheg-overnment itself.
I If now we turn from the general gov-
" we see nothing more enlightened, or put-
riotic. , The last legislature dishonored
itselfby giving the sanction of the State
'_ to the; wicked measures already mentioned;
7:by fosteringga spirit of rapacious war; by
iog a sont'hbm'.poli'cy, destructive of our
,by the refusal of theil’resident to give his
assent to two most just and salutary acts
passed at the last session of Congress ;
the bill’ for the improvement of Harbors
and Rivers——and the bill for the payment
of French spoliations, and that we trust
these measures will receive early and fa-
vorable consideratiori at the approaching
session of Congress.
7. Iiesolvr-d, That the last Legislature of
this State, by the repeal of the act for the
registration of voters, have violated the
sanctity of the ballot box, and invited. and
encouraged the perpetration of frauds in
the exercise of the elective franchise; and
that the purity of our elections can only
be preserved, by the restoration of a law,
which by preventing fraud and securing
to any voter his legal rights, commended
itself to the favor of every honest citizen
8. Resolurd, That we hail the triumphant
successes of the wliig cause, in the recent
State elections, as the beginiiing of a bet-
ter state of things; and believing that the
day of our deliverance from Locnfocoism
is at hand, we pledge ourselves to restore
Connecticut to her true position, and to
redeem her from thefdeep disgrace of be-
ing the only New Enrzland State which
sustained themisrule of the present ad-
ministration. '
9. Resolved, That the candidates for
State Officers, presented by the Convention
10 the Whigs of Connecticut, are worthy
of their entire confidence, and that with
proper efforts, we view their elections as
niorally certain.

Irelt.-7ul.——'l'lie accounts of the state of
the country continue to be most distress-
ing. A letter from Shinrnne, Tipperary,
says, “A report has reached Shinroue that
a young girl has died at l‘.\'ilcommon of
starvation. Several families at the lower
end of Kilmurry parish have been living on
c.-ibbages and turnips tliese few days, with-
out any description of food.”—At tiori'iso-
leiglit many were living on one scanty
meal during the ‘2-L hours, and the for-
bearance of the sufl'erers was amazing. A
letter from Dungarvon of the 19 h inst.
says, “The condition of the people is truly
heart rendiiig. They are smrving! V One

at first so oppressive as might be expected, ow-

stood obliquely, resting against the side of the
well, iinincdiutcly over him, and affortliiig some
protection from the immense pressure. But as
the earth gradually settled, the confinement be-

hand extended over the head, and so compactly
imbedded that the earth had to be‘ removed
even from the lowest extremities, before the
body could be raised. Mr. Barnes had scarcely
