JACHSOIT CONVENTION.

A Convenlion of Delegates frien dlv to the present republican administra tion of General Andrew Jackson assem bled on the 13th day of December, 1830, in the Baptist Church in the Town of Frankfort, Kentucky,and was called to order by Jesse Bledsoe, Esq. and opened with prayer by the Rev J. Bryce, Delegate from Scott county. The Convention then proceeded to organize itself, when General James Allen of Green county, was unanimously elected President thereof; and Da vid G. Cowan, Esq. of Mercer, Secretary, and Patrick II. Pope, Esq. of Jefferson county, Assistant Secretary. The President being conducted to the Chair, a call of the Delegates from the several counties in the Slate was made. After which, several gentlemen addressed the Convention. The following Resolutions were reported by the committee appointed for that purpose, and unanimously adopted: RESOLUTIONS. 1. Resolved, That we have the greatest confidence in the integrity, patriotism and political wisdom of Andrew Jackson President of the United States, 2. Resolved, That the payment of the National debt, ought to be the first ob ject to which the etiorts of the admin istration should be directed; and the solicitude of the President to extinguish this national burden, commands outunqualified approbation. o. Resolved, That we disapprove of the general government being stock holders in the corporations created by the several states, because the objects of such corporations are alway s local to the states; and, moreover, it is cal culated to give the general government a monied influence in the staler, not contemplated by the constitution, and must lead to unjust combinations in Congress. 4. Resolved, That the Preeidentof the United States is entitled to the gratitude of the nation, for his rejection of the Lexington and Maysville turnpike road bill. On this important subject, he exhibited the same ardent patriotism and invincible firmness, which dis tinguished Ilia conduct on that memora ble occasion, when the troops under his command, directed by his wisdom and valor, won for themselves and their illustrious general, 6uch imperishable renown. b. Resolved, That the course pursued by the President, in exchanging lands with the southern Indians, and inducing them to emigrate beyond the white settlements, meets our warmest approbation; and although the opposition have seized on this subject to enlist the sympathies of the American people, in behalf of the Indians, and to array a formidable host against the President, who has accomplished it, yet we are confident in the belief, that a large ma jority of the nation will sanction a meas ure of such incalculable advantage to the union, and the states where the Indians now reside, and as the only means of preserving the Indians in a distinct and separate race. G. Resolved, That the censure bestowed on the President, by Mr. Clay and his friends, for his measures in exchanging and purchasing the lands of the LJians, plainly exhibit their hypocrisy and disregard of principle. When the same policy wa3 recommended by Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, it was regarded by their followers, as highly beneficial and proper; but failing in their efforts to succeed, they now condemn General Jackson, because his superior wisdom and influence has accomplished this highly important object. 7. Resolved, That the President is en titled to the gratitude of the nation, for his successful foreign negotiations, and more especially, for inducing the British government to open the West India ports to our commerce, valued at several millions of dollars annually, which had been lost by the neglect of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay on terms repeatedly refused to those diplomatic gentle men; in negotiating for the payment of claims on the governments of Brazil, Denmark and Colombia, for spoliations on our commerce, which have remain ed unsettled for years. And it is con lidently believed that our minister to France will bring to a successful close, the claims on that government, which have been a source of so much perplex ity to all preceding administrations. 8. Resolved, That it was wise and po litic in the President lo recal the tor eigu miaidters appointed by Mr. Adams

their stations with men in ! whom he bad confidence, and who would ably second his views in placing our intercourse with foreign nations on that elevated ground, in which he has so happily succeeded. The charge that their recals are a wasteful expenditure of money, is false and unfounded. By reference to the public documents, we find that the expenditures ot the last year of Mr. Adams' administration for diplomatic intercourse was near thirteen thousand dollars more than the sum expended during the first year of General Jackson's administration for the same object. 9. Resolved, That the system of accountability and strict adherance to the law, introduced by the President into all the departments of the government, cannot fail to be highly beneficial to the nation. While it gives promptness and despatch to public business, it will insure the treasury against such depre dations as were committed with impunity, under the late administration. 10. Resolved, That the President is entitled to the thanks of the nation for ferreting out the frauds committed on the Treasury, amounting to about 157,000, and for promptly exposing and dismissing those officers, who, forgetting the high trust confided to their honor, were systematically engaged in swindling the Treasury of the United States. 11. Resolved, That the President, in his removals from oflice, has done nothing more than carry into execution the will of the republican party, con stituting a large majority of the nation. It would be strange indeed, that the people, after expelling from oflice and power, Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, should permit their followers to retain nine-teen-tvventieths of all the offices of the nation. The pertinacity with which they cling to the Treasury, is not only chactcrUlic of many of the party to which they belong, but it is believed forms a leading feature in the character of their leader himself. 12. Resolved, That we cannot subscribe to the doctrine contended for by some of the politicians of the United States, that a single Slate has a right to give a construction to the constitution of the United States, which shall be obligatory on the other Slates of the Union. 1 3. Resolved, That the charge made by the Clay Convention held in this place a few days since, that General Jackson is the head, and leader of the "nullifiers" of the South, is false and unfounded, and those who made it, ought to have known it to be so. 14. Resolved, That we regard the Union of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, in 1325, by which they ascended to political power and office, as among the most remarkable coalitions ever made by violent political opponents and rivals for oflice and fame. 15. Resolved, That we cannot hold Mr. Clay excused for voting for Mr. Adams, in violation of the instructions of the State of Kentucky, by his lame apology that "it was a choice of evils between Mr. Adams and General Jackson." The apology might have some weight in it, if Mr. Adams afterwards, in his appointment of Secretary of State, had been confined to a similar choice of evils, which compelled him to appoint Mr. Clay, a rival candidate, and violent political enemy. He was free and unfettered in his choice, having the whole union, from which to make a selection, and passing over a host of distinguished names, he appoints Mr. Clay to the first cflice within his gift, having a few days before received the office of President at the hands of Mr. Clay; thus verifying to the very letter, the charge made previous to the election, that Mr. Clay would make Mr. Adams President, and Mr. Adams make Mr. Clay Secretary of Slate. 16. Resolved, That we regret the union of Mr. Clay wiih the Federal party throughout the U. States, assuming to himself the character of their leader, in their unholy ctusade aganst the present republican administration, as a forfeiture on his part, of all claims on the gratitude of bis country, for former services. His own speeches dming the late war, and his professed principles up to the Presidential election in 1S25, have all been forgotten, and abandoned, or if remembered, scarcely command from him a blush of shame, for the gross and selfish abandonment of the principles, that, for more than twenty years, seemed lo influence his political life. 17. Resolved, That we regard the course of Mr. Clay, as originating ia

I and to fill

selfish & unchastened ambition, which for many years he concealed under the cloak of patriotism. But impatient of all restraint, and when he supposed the object of his secret aspiration within his reach; he threw away the compass and chart that so long had directed his efforts in behalf of his country with so much vehemence, and rushed into the arms of those very opponents, whom he had castigated so severely, and for more than twenty years, so eloquently opposed. 1 8. Resolved, That we deeply deplore the course pursued by Mr. Clay, in

abandoning his former political friends, and uniting himself with his most bitter enemies; and we have beheld with regret and mortification, "the moral depravity and political degradation of those, who shift and change their own professed opinions to sustain Mr. Clay, and enable him, and many of his friends, to find their way to the National Treasury, there to banqutt, as many of them had been accustomed to do, (contrary to both honesty and law) on the fruit and labor of others, and lo riot in the means which should have been employed in the improvement of the country:" about which his friends and himself have made so many professions, yet have accomplished so little. 19. Resolved, That Mr. Clay stands publicly pledged, to the American people, to expose the course pursued by John Quincy Adams, late President of Ihe United States, in the negotiations preceding the treaty of Ghent. That pledge made more than six years since, is still unredeemed. The inference from that fact is irresistable, that he either knew nothing to Mr. Adams' prejudice, and made this declaration against a rival candidate, containing unfounded imputations to it jure him just previous to the election, or, if he was aware of facts injurious to Mr. Adams, subsequent silence can only be accounted for, by the unnatural union of these political enemies at the election in 1C25. The latter seems most probable; and we suppose that Mr. Adams' friends appealed "with tears in their eyes," and thus purchased silence on the Ghent transactions, in the same way that those zueeping patriots commanded his vote for Mr. Adams as President of the U. States. 20. Resolved, That in either point of view, Mr. Clay is equally censurable. It was not more criminal to make the charge, if untrue, against a rival candidate, than to conceal from the public, facts which he pledged himself to disclose, involving the consistency and patriotism of the man aspiring to the high office of President of the U. States. 21. Resolved, That we should regard the election of Mr. Clay to the Presidency of the United States, as among the greatest national calamities that could or might happen. Not, however, equal to that reckless and profane prayer, offered to the throne of Divine Mercy by Mr. Clay, to visit his country with "war, pestilence and famine," rather than permit Andrew Jackson to be elected President of the United States; or to render the sentiment into plain English, rather than Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay should be expelled from oflice and power. This horrid invocation to Ihe Supreme Being, stamps the character of the man, and ought to seal his fate with the American people. 22. Resolved, That solemnly impressed, as we are, that the election of Mr. Clay, as President, would go farther lo overturn our free and happy institutions, than any other political event that will happen, probably for years, and we hope forages to come, we will by all fair and honorable means, cppose his election ; we hereby call upon our fellow citizens of this and other States, who are seconding Mr. Clay in his ambitious career, to pause and soberly reflect on the importance of the question to be decided in 1C32, and the awful consequences that wiih result on the election of their favorite. 23. Resolved therefore, As our deliberate conviction, that it is highly important to the interest of the nation, that General Jackson should serve an other term in the high office which he now fills with so much honor to himself and benefit to his countrv ; and that we concur in the nominations made by the democratic members of the Legislatures of the States of Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire and Alabama, of General Jackson to fill the office of Chief Magistrate of the United States for the next Presidential term. Regarding, as he has ever professed lo do, the great political maxim, that the oflice Is neither to be sought ncr de

clined, he has no other alternative but to yield to the concurrent wishes of the overwhelming majority of the people, notwithstanding his opinion of what the constitution ought to be. And we call on the people of the nation, that if they wish a system of economy and responsibility introduced into every Department, which shall become permanent and lasting if they desire to check the rapid encroachments of the General Government upon the rights of the States, and to defeat those schemes of wild extravagance, which, for years, have been silently maturing and gaining strength if they wish our happy constitution construed, as was intended by its framers if they wish to see a system of internal improvement originated, which shall prove beneficial to every State in the Union if they wish to see our foreign intercourse placed on n footing commensurate with the magnitude cf the interests involved if they wish to 6ee harmony once more prevail in fine, if they wish the perpetuity of our free institutions, and themselves happy and prosperous; we call on them to unite with us in again elevating to the highest effice within our gift, the man, who under all vicissitudes of our fortune?, has proved himself our steadfaetTand devoted friend. 24. Resolved, That we have seen with strong disapprobation, the resolutions of Mr. Clay's convention, calling on his partizans, collectively und individually in (he several counties, to commence) with us, a war of political extermination. They should have recollected, that after the last Presidential election, they cried to us for peace, and we trusted them. 25. Resolved, That there is nothing; improper in the re-nomination to the Senate by the President, of persona who have been rejected by that bodyr on the application of a Senator or Senators who voted against the nomination and no imputation should have been made against the President, by those

w ho have approved such nominations by the present Governor of Kenlucky, without the application of any Senator or Senators in the opposition. 26. Resolved, That a committee of vigilance and correspondence, consist ing of five persons, be appointed as a central committee for the stale of Kentucky, at the city of Louisville, whose) duties shall be, to correspond with the county committees throughout the state, and similar committees throughout the union: with power to fill vacancies in their own body, and to do all things, ia their opinion necessary, to the success of the cause n which we are engaged, 27. Resolved, That we applaud the energy and talents displayed by the President, and Secretary of War, in the accomplishment of a treaty with the Choctaw and the Chickasaw tribes of Indians, during the present year, by which it is demonstrated that they are not to be "driven from their homes," as has been falsely charged. 28. Resolved, That we highly approve of the plan suggested by the President, of dividing the surplus revenue of the nation (after the payment of the public debt.) among the several states, according to their representatives in Congress, as the mode, best calculated to ensure justice in the appropriations, and to promote harmony, so much to be desired, amoug the several states. 29. Resolved, That we are the advocates of a Tarifl to promote the manufacture of arms and all articles for national defence; also to ported all articles, the growth or manufacture of the United States, so far as to give our citizens an advantageous competition in their producing or manufacture, and on all other articles so far as the payment of the national debt and Ihe demands for revenue may require.
