of a Patriot so pure, and a Statesman
so eminent ; one too honest to deceive,

President.”
Resolved, That the Whigs of Rich
mond County, warmly adhere to the
great conservative principles of the
Whig Party of the Union; and will
support any nominee of the National
Convention, who is not in favor of the
Wilmot Proviso, or any other Con
gressional action, that subjects the

had no right to require. If tbe
