The following gentlemen were appointed said Committee: Messrs. Morrison, Feeney, Culley, Read of Wayne and Daviess of Sullivan. The convention adjourned until 3 o'clock, 3 o'clock, P. M. Mr. Morrison from the Committee appointed for that purpose, reported the following address . AJDRES& or THE iSacJcson State Convention y To the People of Indiana, Fellow-Citizens: Acting in a representative capacity, we feel the less delicacy in laying before you, for your deliberate consideration, a few of the many reasons which we think should induce our united exertions in support and continuance of the present national Administration, and of the venerable patriot who has for the last three years so auspiciously guided its councils. Our national bill of rights, the declaration of American independence, clearly acknowledges the principle that mankind are generally inclined to bear with evils and to suffer inconveniences so long as they are tolerable, rather than, to endeavor to effect a change in government, or to disturb the settled tranquility of a nation. Embracing tin principle as a correct one, it would seem certain that good and sufficient causes should at all times exist before the people should exert their acknowledged power ta institute new and chimerical experiment as a substitute for sound and tried policy, and we are persuaded that when the most icrulinizing examination is instituted, and a candid, enlightened community shall utter their sentiments, they will accord to the present Administration a full share oftheirconlider.ee, and pronounce that the general prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, are as conspicuous at the pre sent period, as they have ever been since the existence of this beloved republic. The honored individual, to whose wisdom the people entrusted the Chief Magistracy of the Union, has given many additional and undeniable proofs of his abilities and desires to advance the interests and honor of his country, and nt the special instance of his fellow citizens will consent to lend his energies and experience in furtherance of his patriotic purposes, should they again signify such a desire. As evidences of the wisdom, sagacity and patriotism of the present administration, we can, fortunately , refer you to its many and diversified acts, and, in addition to this reference, to the' principles and policy which it has I adopted, and pursued, and which policy may be regarded as the land-marks of i(? future operations. The foreign intercourse of the United States has always been esteemed the most intricate and complex part of of its political machinery, and the peo

pie have considered the diplomatic talents of a Chief Magistrate as the most essential trait in his character. When Andrew Jackson was inaugurated as President, on the 4th of March, 1629, he found this department of the government in a singular state of uncertainty, and almost every nation of the world having unsettled difficulties with our government. Under this state of public atTurs, our commerce was depressed, manufactures were languishing, and agriculture suffering for an outlet for its products: and iwcessari-

ly a want of enterprise in the community and a scarcity of a circulating medium. If the merchant owned a ship she was laid up in ordinary for the want of a profitable trade, and the timber in our ship yards was rotting on the stocks, and the industrious mechanic sat folding his hands for the want of I inducement er opportunity to labor. The farmer must content himself with j barely producing enough for the consumption of his family, and his lands were uncultivated for the reason that he found no market for his surplus articles. The shop of tlie mechanic was measurably deserted, and the scarcity of money compelled him to abandon his business, or to content himself with the dull prospect of supplying only the casual derrundi of an immediate vicinity, and that too at prices lessened by the corresponding depression of the value of other manufactured articles. ior of the staple agricultural products 'of the country. The cotton of the ! south, the cotton goods of the east, the flour, pork, beef, corn, and whiskey of the north and west, were barely nominal articles, and labor and enterprise were useless and paruiiEed to a fearful and dangerous extent. We need scarcely call public attention to the comparative (lillerence of the situation of the nation at the present time, and if the difference be admitted we feel authorized to point to the operation of the policy of the government and to the sagacity of our rulers, as especially tending to promote the beneficial results which we now ex-! Derience. and if success in inter-nation-1 al intercourse serves to characterise the Presidential incumbent, Andrew Jackson must stand confessed as one who has nftver had a superior. In exemplification oi this position a recurrence to the treaties and diploraatic arrangements effected with Eng land, Denmark, Brazil, r ranee, Russia, Austria, and Mexico, and also, our commercial advantages conceded by !ilHjiCJ UUU 0aill) All UUUtlUULU M lUilll , the short period before mentioned. ! sT . n lf nnrl CIrA'iin rs 1 1 r r i rl i rl r il 7ltlilit will produce the conviction that a full reliance upon the integrity and honesty of the President, and a perfect accordance with the sentiments of his message to Congress, have induced those foreign nations to hail us with friend ship and to extend to us the ndvanta-j ges cf the most favoured nations; whereby we are placed upon that fair equalily which is alone asked to give to American genius, talent and enterprize that superiority cf condition which they characteristically assume in all the avocations of life. The long agitated and mystified subject of the tariffis at length brgming to be discussed on the principles of reason, instead of being considered a political enigma, which the learned and well born had alone a right to investigate. The Judicious" Tariff of Andrew Jackson is now being acknowledged on all hands, as the one which the American people desire, and when it is remembered that the deliberately expressed voice of "Free Trade Conventions," and of ''Tariff Conventions," united to the last words of President Adams, and the inaugural sentiments of President Jackson, all concur in soliciting a "modification" of its objectionable, sectional and oppressive tea turcs, the people will discover that the "American System" is that which will protect our infant manufactures without granting them monopolies, and and which will furnish a sufficient revenue without burthening the people with unnecessary taxation, dispensing the disbursements from the National Treasury upon objects of a national character, and thereby improving the internal condition of the country, in such a manner as to strengthen the bond of our Union and affording facilities for its defence from foreign aggression or invasion. The speedy payment of the National debt has long been a great object with Ihe people, and they will doubtlessly bail with acclamation the. annunciation of the fact, that Andrew Jackson has brought llie financial concerns of the country to such a prosperous state, that he now possesses Ihe means, with the assistance of Congress, to fulfil all the regular and incidental engagements of the government, and to liquidate the last cent of this debt, which has hung like an incubus upon our energies since the infancy of the natioi, within the presnt year. The policy of the removal of the Indian tribes from within the limits of ihe states in which they now reside to pennanent homes west of the Missii-

sippi, has receired the ianction of the philanthropist and humane christian, and the policy of Monroe, Adams, Calhoun, Barber, and Porter, which has been so humanely consummated in part by Gen. Jackson, by and withthe consent of the Indian?, is now only op: posed by fanatics, and those who seem to think it their duty to oppose auy measure which the goreDineot may favor. The country has settleddown,!in a great degree approving the government which exists, and unless an individual coul 1 fee selected who would

uard with more tigilauco the vested rightiof the itate who would inspire a more perfect confidence in his impartiality to all portions of the U.iion, and to (he various interests of its citizen? ; who would guard and oppose with more assiduity any attempts to alienate anyiporlion of these United States from the general confederacy; who would more zealously repulse any act of consolidation or nullification, and require a more strict accountability from all public officers and agents, then no individual should be preferred before the venerable and hoary headed patriot of the Revolution, who for the last lime will call upon his countrymen to.gusUin him. Tha limits of an address will not permit u?, argumentatively, to lay before you other weighty reasons which exist for a general support of Andrew Jackson at the coming preiidential election; but it is confidently hoped'that the few which are given above, will be sufficient lo cause every republican citizen to act prudently and patriotically , and that if he even entertain prejudices, he may be constrained tosacrilice them at the altar of the public good, and to join the millions who will again give their suffrages to him whom the people delight to honor, and who has honored hit country, both in the fuld of battle and in the ctjair of State. As fi ieaila of our common country, as patriots and as republicanc, we have weighed the matters laid before you, and vre have presented lor your sutlraft3 electors of President and Vice President, the names of George Boon, of Sullivan County James Blake, ol Marion Arthur Patterson, cf Parke Nathan B. Pa-lmer, of Jefferson Marks Crume, of Fayette; (at certain Electors) and Thomas Given?, of Posey Alexander S. Burnett, ot Floyd Walter Armstrong, of Dearborn and John Ktcham, of Monroe, as contingent Electors who are to have precedence in the order of their names J Who will faithfully respond to your sentiment?, if elected, and again give the vtte of Indiana, to him whom she has ti.ice before honored, but who has ; only once been permitted to receive the iutended reward of his merifs. Mr. Culley from the commit lee appointed for that purpose reported the following resolutions. Resolved, That we heartily concur with our fellow-cilizen?, in recommending the present Chief Magistrate for reelection, believing that the peace, prosperity, and well being of these United Slates and the Republican party, are involved and vitally interested in the result. Resolved, That we approve of the measures of the present administration, and especially ths late change of the Cabinet, the payment of the national debt, the removal of the Indians, and the rigid system of economy and accountability effected and recommended by our present revered President, Andrew Jackson. Resolved, That the present Chief Magistrate, in yielding to the solicitations of his friend?, to serve another term, is not transcending any limits established by the Republican party, but acting on approved precedent ; affording the only true means of testing the utility and wisdom of his measures and vindicating his character from unjust aspersion. Resolved, That this Convention do hereby appoint the Hon. John Tipton, Hon. Ratliff Boon, Hon. Jonathan McCarty, Hon. John Carr, and Gen. Sam uel Milroy as Delegates of the State of Indiana, to attend the meeting of the proposed Convention to be held al Baltimore during the ensuing spring, for the purpose of selecting a suitable person to be run for Vice President of the United States on the ticket with Andrew Jackson.
