C. deeming it essen tially requisite for the maintenance of civil liberty to carry out the principles of Andrew Jackson, do on this occasion, having met toge ther for the purpose of consulting upon ihe political condition of our country, adoptive following reso lutions, (to wit:) 1st. Resolved, That having un limited confidence ,n Martin Van Uureo, our present Vice President which exist tri'a ifo'all. degree foe tween our brethren of the North and the South? We are all breth ren of the same family, living in a country united by a solemn com pact, descended from the same an cestors, and should possess an in terest for the prosperity and . hap piness of each other and in the language of the Immortal W ash ing ton, frown down the first dawn ing of any attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the vari ous parts. Secondly, as to the charge which he brings forward in such a high strain of weeping, affectionate, and pathetic appeals to the democracy of the State, for being in favor to Rufus King, Senator from New York, he is cer tainly very unfortunate for, in stead of proving that Mr. Van Bu ren is inconsistent, he proves more satisfactorily that he has been al ways defending the principles which he now maintains. Was can institutions of our govern-1 not Kufus King, at the time that ment, and the noble and patriotic Mr. Van Buren gave hirn his sup manner in which he rushed into ! port, oppospd to the Federal par- the sanguinary field to fight 'the j ty of his Stater Did he not with enemies of our country, as well as 1 all the talents that he could possi- his firm and inflexible devotion , to bly display, advocate the war of the administration of the Dresent' 1812? Did not the entire de- Chief Magistrate of the United mocracy of his State support hiui States, entitle him to our confi- at that time for his democratic deuce and we therefore do think principle? To this oiiarge we it necessary for the purpose of per-J think tht Gen. Dudley has been petuating the liberties that we nuwl extremely unfortunate, towards enjoy, to support him as the Re publican candidate for Vice Presi dent of these United States. Should any of our Republican party be subject to personal at tachment for any other person iHp nffire which he now fills with so much dignity to himself and our country in his talents as be ingthose of the very highest order, irretractable determination to car ry out the principles of our present Chief Magistrate, which princi ples can alone insure the safety of our government and thinking it vitally important to prevent the much deprecated efforts of the Nullifying, Whig, and Federal party to present an undivided phalanx will support Mr. Van Bu ren as the, Republican candidate for the next President of the Uni ted Slates. 2d.

The Senate is principally en gaged in discussing the resolu- lions suumiueu uy uji. --aniuuu, relative to the transmission . of in cendiary publications in the mail. The House of Representatives, with regulating the items in the general appropriation bill. The contested election. We understand that the Governor deems it inexpedient to order a special election, to fill the vacancy in the House of Representatives from the 12th Congressional Dis trict of this State caused by the vacation of the seat of Mr. Gra ham by the House. The period for the adjournment of Congress being now near at hand, and the counties composing the 12th dis being the most remote in the State, it was believed the requisite no tices could not be given through out the district, the elections held, and the polls compared, in time to enable the member elect to reach Washington previously to the close of the session. So that had the Governor determined oth erwise than he has, the expense of a special election would have been useless incurred. And moreover, by defering the election until Au gust, (the ordinary period of hold ing the general elections of the State) a larger vote will be secur- of the Senate, and tTouse of Dele- j gates of the Legislature, lake place in! ail r this month--:during the 'weeks of the ; county;;- courts respectively.
