electors for President and Vice Incident of
the I'nited States, from the democratic party, without refen nc to their individual preferences, and that the electors thu cho

Cass to secure hi nomination yet, it is the opinion of this meeting that it would be unwise ami impolitic for the State Convention to eiperss nny preference among; the distinguished democrats whose names are spo
ken of in connection with the otTices of President and Vice President of the United States. Resolved, That a committee of ten persons be appointed to make known to our democratic brethren in convention, on Monday next, our views on the several subjects embraced in the foregoing resolutions nnd to respectfu'ly request their concurrence therein, nnd that said convention be requested to recognize said committee its delegates there-
