J'es(dvcd, That all persons opposed to
the present administration of the General Government who have arrived in this place since our last adjournment be invited to take a seat and join in the deliberations
ot tins v. onvention.
On motion of Mr. Colerick, FcsolcrJ, That ihe Hon. Jonathan Mc-
Carty be invited to take a seat in this convention and participate in its deliberations.
Mr. Thompson of Lawrence, from
the committee appointed for that pur
pose reported the following resolutions. Hcnolvc.l, That the present crisis calls loudly on the Whigs of the I'nitcd States to stand la nil to those principles under which they have so long rallied, and to maintain the most uncompromising hostility to the destructive doctrines of those who now fid by national patronage, the offices of the country.
Pesoeel, That in the language of
George Washington, the welfare of our country is the great object to which our cares and efforts ought to be directed,'' and that we will continue to resist those
intraetions upon the constitution, which, within the list eight vea-s, have been directed ajraint t h at nr re 1 instrument. Ji( ;orrd, That miles the usurpations of those in whose hands are now confided
tne Destinies ol t.'ie American people, are
checked bv the strong arm of noniiiar
recognize the policy of a
in the presidential office as one of the surest and most salutary cheek.? on the
abuse of executive patronage as! dictated as the United States are not in possession
by the lessons taught by the past history
of this country; and as lending to estab-
pure representative government; am! mat
wc unhesitatingly express our opinion in favor of an amending of the constitution rendering a president ineligible to a re-election Ih'Hclced, That we deprccafe the idea ot tho selection of a president by the
House of Representatives, ami for the
purpose of securing a selection by the pro
pie, we approve of the policy of holding a
national convention, in order to elici t a
union of the gieat whig partv throughout
the I nited States.
Phat in the opinion of this
Convention, den. William Henry 'farriyon of Ohio, is tho choice nf the neo-
e of Indiana, for the next presidency
that they have unabated confidence in his
lonesty, capacity, and political integrity,
in his continued devotion to republican principles: and that wc pledge to the friends of political reform throughout the
Lnion, our best exertions to place him
in the presidential chair, should he be the chosen candidate of the Whis.
eonduei
e'.tlcmen,
opinion, the time is no? far dis;:)!!'. when
otr country will he enveloped in the deep
shades of political darkness, and the fires
which our fathers kindled upon freedom s altar will have gone out. iYWim, That the course of those who have thrown our counirv into its present deeply alilictiiig condition, with all the best interests of ihe people in danger, and their commerc e and business prostrated, evinces a manifest hostility to the
essential principle upon which our govern
ment was based,
best institutions, .'worc.. That
of silver and gold mines, from which to lupplv the people with specie, and are there-
lish more firmly the aims and ends of . fore dependent on foreign countries fb: ft
supply ol the precious hi.ai5,lhis Convention is of opinion that without good convertible paper to sustain the commerce, agi iculture and inanufacturesof the United Slates, those great interests could not prosper. Juaolvcd, That whilst this Convention would approve of a reduction in the pries
of lands, we believe that the promises held out by the party in poiver at the eve of the two late presidential elections, wer made to Cajole and deceive ihe people of the new States that this Convention perceives with surprise, that our rulers have during the same period of eight years, purchased lands of the Indians to
the amount of 3, 000, 000 dollars, at
nore than three dollars per acre, whieh
precludes the hope of reduction; and therelore knowing th;s, we view the late re
newal of that pruinisa as being insincere and unworthy of a great mind.
Jicnocea, that in the estimate of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the entries-
upon the books of the Custom Houses,
vve have satisfactory evidence of the fact that all the gold in the L'nited States, if taken from those who bold it and divided among our peop'e, would not give to each inhabitant of the United States, more thart
1 (50, and for these reasons we view the
attempts of the government officers and others, to impose on the people by ex hibitiiig purses of gold coin, and promising ihfin a gold currency, as an unworthy artifice to u'ousq their confidence. It'isolccJ, That the promises mad? t the country the last o.ght years, lhat the public money should -be faithfully accounted for, have not been realized; that in the face of these promises, this convention has the most satisfartary evidence of tha fact thai very large sums have been employed by the government officers of this
Slate in private speculation.
I hat in tins recommendation and the ultimate success of his eTort to withhold the fourth instalment of the surplus rev
enue, depriving tins State of the use of
t?' .,() 00, which had been appropriated by the legislature, the President of the United States has violated his promise to carry out the measures of his illustrious
predecessor, (Jen. Jackson,
7rY.7-.
That viewing the past con
duct of Henry Clay, of Kentucky", and
the personal and political sacrifices he
ias made in behalf of the liberty and
union of these Stales, we still look to him as the patriot statesmen on whom the
country can ever rely in the hour of peril
and misfortune; ami that, should lie be the choice of anational convention, we pledge
to him tha support ot the lugs ol ln-
lana. Iiestorc l. That such, delegates as may
he
appointed hv this convention to the
national assembly of the U. S. are hereby
instructed to be governed

Also, that the rules of the House of Representatives of Indiana to govern the action of this Convention during its session, so far us the same are applicable to its business. Which was read and concurred in. On motion of Mr. Evans. Resolved, That all persons present who are opposed to the present adminis
tration of the General Government, be reqested to take scats and participate in the delioetations of this Convention. On motion of Mr. Thompson, of Law
rence.
licsoivca, 1 hat a committee ot two from each Judicial Circuit of the members of this convention, be appointed to report
an address to the People of Indiana, to
gether with such resolutions as are expres
sive of the sense of this convention in re
lation to tha abuses which have crept into
the administration ot our national affairs, and the roune which it would be best
.1 is at war with our
the infractions of the
present chief in gistratc upon the institu
tions of our country, are but efforts to unite
in his own hands the jntrsc and lhij sirord with which to battle more success
fully against human liberty and hum.'.n
happiness. Resolved, That the project of Marlir Van Buren to invoice the Government from the banks, is but an effort to divert public attention Irom the enormities of an administration, which is seeking a consolidation of all power in its own hands, an abuse of the people's rights, and a SLihver.sioii of the people's freedom. e ic, That we saw with regret the allusion ol' Martin Van Buren, in his
message to Congress, to the eleetions of ihe sev end states; and while wc were willing
tn loo;; witn compassion upon loo goslings of disappointed ambition, could not refrain from feeling a dep indignity at the degradation lo which he has drag-
d the high ofnea coroided to him

Jicttolved, That eighteen delegates be
selected to represent the sense of this Con
vention in the National Convention of
the States, two of whom shall be selected from each Judicial Circuit, either one or both of whom may serve as such delegates. Mr. Huntington moved to strike out the last resolution from the resolving clause, ami insnit the following, "That when this convention adjourns
it will adjourn to meet at this place on the
hist Monday m June next. Which was not adopted: On inoiion of Mr. Maguirc.
Jtcs dcld, That the thanks of this Con
vention he tendered to the Trustees and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church for their polite proffer of their large and commodious Church for the use of this Convention. On motion of Mr. Evans, (Gov. Noble 1st Vice President being in the Chair.) Jlr.iolrcd, That the thanks of this Con
vention bo tendered to Col. Thomas H. Blake for the able and dignified maimer in which he has presided over the deliberations of this Convention. On motion Mr. Morgan of Rush. Resolved, That in adhering to the reso-
ulions and oilier acts ol this Convention
we do not intend to charge the great body
of those who ililfer from us in sentiment
on political economy with corruption or
ijisa new, but on the contrary we view
them as brethren of the same family hon
estly dill: ring with us in opinion, and we
i'er to the conservators and honest dc-
morrats the right hand of fellowship.
Ihe delegates Irom the respective Judi
cial v nvui's who have been instructed lo
nominate to the Convention two indi-
Watsen, Pamuel Klack, Peleg Babeock.j for the Whigs of Iadiana to pursue, in
it is hifh time to relievo the country o a set ot leeches who are sueking the life.blood from th'dr treasury, and thus laugh
ing at their calamities.
Jlesolvi'il, 'Phat we have looked in vain
for the "gold and silver," which was to "llovv up ihe Mississippi," and "peep
through the interstices of the larmers
purses," and cannot regard the issuing
of ten millions of dollars in treasury
notes, without the seve.c-st coi.demiia tion.
Resolved, That the lime has arrived.
when we should merge all personal con
sideralions in our desire to promote the
