*Those marked (*) Delegates,
were by resolutions*)!' tire Convention iiw itea t«
partake in their deliberation.
On motion of the lion. F. H. Cone, the fol
lowing resolution was taken up and adopted
Resolved, That a committee of eleven, one
from each Judicial District, be appointed by
the Chair,to report such resolutions and other
matter, as they may dean proper for the action
of this convention.
Whereupon, the Chair appointed Messrs. F.
11. Cone, R. A. L. Atkinson, Jesse Carter, W.
J. Johnson, Robert Griffin, Thomas Hilliard,
W. W. Wiggins, E. W. Chastain, W. J. Law
ton, S. W. Colbert, G. D. Phillips, as that
committee.
The committee having retired, agreed upon,
and reported the following Pre;mibic and Re
solutions, which were unanimously adopted:
By the principles of oar Government, all
power is vested in the people, and its exercise
rightfully belongs to":horn; they arc the source
from which all authority and all government
emanate. It is therefore*ofthe first importance,
and it is the just prerogative of the people, to
he fully and clearly informed of the principles
and opinions -of any party ’who may. be seeking
or asking’their confidence and support.
The Democratic Party, has at convenient
times, in National and State Conventions, an
nounced to the people the principles upon
which their party association is based.
New questions, however,are constantly aris
ing, upon the wise and proper determination
of which the interest and character of the na
tion are deeply concerned. It is therefore the
duty of "the party clearly to define their posi
tion in relation tolhese questions, so- that every
i citizen may jjossess such knowledge as will
enable him to determine for himself whether
the views entertained by the party -are such as
v(in his opionion,) will promote the welfare of
the nation. Indeed, we 'think our principles
■ cannot be too often reiterated or rendered too
'familiar with the people.
It u» the leading principle of Democracy,
that all citizens are upon a perfect equality. —
-All are equally independent, the privileges of
: u.ll are the same, the rights of all are the same
no one is superior, no one is inferior, but all
.-.are equal; each one is a part of the Govern
ment, and each one is interested in its wise
;and judicious administration. All,.therefore,
'should, be informed so as to act understanding-
Ty and independently, in casting their votes. —
We ask no man, blindly, to adhere to a party
name, or ignorantly to follow party leaders.
We lay our principles before the people, we
übform' them what our political action is, and
what it will be. We ask an honest and -im
partial examination of these principles and
■ -opinions, and we have no apprehension as to
rthe result. We believe them to be the true
principles of the Constitution, and those upon
which our Government should be administer
,jed, and that their practical operation will se
cure to our country, a bright and glorious ca
reer of prosperity and happiness, and place her
"first among the Nations of the Earth.
In the following resolutions, these princi
ples are embodied. The resolutions also ex
press our opinions of some distinguished citi
zens, and our views upon many important
questions.
We submit them in confidence, that they
f will command the approbation and receive the
; sanction of a large majority of people of Geor-
I gia.
Be it therefore R so'ved , by this Convention,
That a Revenue Tariff, and the principles of
Free Trade, as they have been practically car
ried out by the act of 1810, are amongst the
cherished principles of the party and coeval
with its organization. The practical opera
tions of the principles of that law, have fully
realized the expectations and promises of its
friends and overthrown and falsified the pre
dictions of its enemies. Under its fostering
influence, the revenues of the Government
have been greatly increased. Every branch of
industry rendered flourishing and prosperous,
the price of wages and the value of labor
greatly enhanced, and the means of procuring
| the necessaries and many ot th 3 comforts and
luxuries of life placed within the reach ol the
great mass of our people. It should remain
the permanent policy of the Government.
Resolved, That we arc oppose d to a National
Bank, both upon constitutional principles and
principles of expediency. The present pros
perous and flourishing state of our country,
bears ample testimony that such an institu
tion is wholly unnecessary,either for the man
agement of the fiscal operations of the Gov
ernment, or for affording or regulating ex
change, or for creating and supplying a cur
rency for the people.
Resolved, That we are opposed to appropria
tions of money, by Congress,to build up a gen
eral system of Internal Improvements—the
power to make such appropriations, finds no
place in the Constitution. Its practical ope
ration would create an exhaustless drain upon
the Treasury, and be injurious to the welfare
of the nation.
Resolved, That the separation of the Gov
ernment from all Banks and Bank paper, is a
principle for the practical assertion of which
the Democracy strove hard and labored long ;
they finally' accomplished it, in the establish
ment of the Constitutional Treasury. This is
a monument of Democratic sagacity and wis
dom, of which the party may well be proud.
It prevents inflated issues of Bank paper,
cheeks wild and visionary* speculation, renders
the fiscal operation of the Government easy
and safe, and secures to the People a sound
and uniform currency. It should remain the
permanent policy' of the Government.
Resolved, That we are opposed to any modi
fication of the Veto Power. What our fathers
did upon that subject was wisely done.
Resolved, That we are opposed to a distribu
tion of the proceeds of the public lands among
the States. They stand pledged for the pay
ment of the public debt, au-I should so remain.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the reduc
tion of the price of the public lands. Such as
have been long in market and remain unsold,
are of little value to the Government; their
sde at a reduced price would increase the rev
enue, and provide comfortable homes for our
people.
Resolved, That a strict construction of the
Constitution, the abstainin g by' Congress from
the exercise of all doubtful constitutional pow
ers, and a frequent recurrence to fundamental
principles in the administration of the Govern
ment, are a part of the Democratic creed.
Resolved, That Congress possesses no power,
milder the Constitution, to legislate in any
way or manner, in relation to the institution
of slavery. It is the constitutional right of
every citizen, to remove and settle with his
property in any of the Territories of the United
•States.
Resolved, That the people of the South do
nota.sk es Congress to establish the institution
(of slavery iu any of the territory that may be
acquired by the United States, They simply
require that the inhabitants of cash territory
'shall be left free to determine for themselves,
i whether the institution of slavery shall or
shall not form a part of their social system.
Resolved, That the war with Mexico was
commenced by' invading our territory and by
slaughtering our soldiers and countrymen.
We committed no act of violent!a toward any
of her people until these things were done by
her; we then repelled force by force. And
whoever asserts that the war was not com
i menced by the shedding of American blood
cn American soil, asserts also, that the coun
try between the Nueces and the Rio Grande,
belongs to Mexico, and that she had a right to
kill and slaughter our people because they
were found there.
Resolved, That the President in ordering
vren. Taylor with histroops, to take some po
; sition, at or near the Rio Grande, violated no
provision of the Constitution, but acted wisely
I for the interests and bw'tr -of his country.
The whole aet di the Mexican Government,
previous to his giving the order, was hostile
and insulting and men iced immediate war.
Under these circumstances, had he failed ‘to
give the order, he would have been unfaithful
to the high trusts reposed in him.
Resolved, That the war with Mexico is one
of aggression and injustice on her part. The
•annexation of Texas was an act of which she
had no right'to complain, much less make it
cause of war. Texas was an independent na
tion, acknowledged as such by the most civil
ized and powerful nations of the cm ;th. Wc
treated with her as such, and the laws of Na
tions justify us in making the treaty.
Resolved, That the war with Mexico should
be prosecuted with vigor and energy. That
the country in our possession, should all be
j retained. That our conquests should be still
further extended; and that our progress
should be onward until Mexico should sue for
peace, upon such terms as arc consistent with
the interests and honor of the American
ple.
Resolved, That the interest an'd honor of our
country demand, that no peace shall be con
eluded* with Mexico without securing a fair
and just indemnity for the claims of our citi
zens, and for the expenses and sacrifices of
the war. As she has no means to indemnify
-us except by -a cession of a portion of her
Territory, a treaty fixing 'the Rio Grande as
the boundary of Texas, and ceding New Mex
ico and the *.Californias, would be both Just
• and liberal on our part.
i Resolved , That Gen. Taylor in advising the
? president, to cause’the “troops under his ccm
. niand, to be remeved from Corpus Christi, to
I some point at or near the Rio Grande, con
sulted the honor and interests cf his .country,
and that the President in acting upou.tlint.ad
'vice, violated no provision of the Constitution,
f end committed no aggression upon the rights
: of Mexico.
Resolved, That any party or association of
individuals, who, by their speeches or their
, public prints, proclaim to the world, that the
war with Mcxie ) was commenced by ns, that
it was on our part a war of injustice and ag
. gression, that our armies ought to be immedi
, ately withdrawn from the Mexican lerxritary,
and our conquests relinquished, that no in
. demnity should be acquired and no cession of
[ territory should be exacted as the condition of
peace, xlo give aid and comfort to Mexico and
I encourage her furtherrto prosecute the **ar.
Resolved , That the Hon. Henry Clay, by his
„ remarks in his recent speech, in relation to the
[ institution of slavery, and by his omission iu
his resolutions to repudiate and condemn the
principles and provisions of the M ilmot 1 re
vise, has placed himself in a position t it does
* not entitle him to the confidence and support
of the people of the Southern States. As a
Southern man and a slave-holder, the South
had a right to expect better things of him.
Roeslced, That the whole administration of
t President Polk, has been one of elevated pa
triotism, characterized by wisdom, firmness
v and devotion to the interests and honor of his
« L ». ir,iM»» ■ nr, —'■“■gagfag
country —our confidence in him is unshaken.
Resolved, That the recorded annals of Avar,
furnish no parallel to the unequal battles, the
glorious victories and splendid conquests,
achieved by our brave armies in Mexico. —
Their imperishable fame is the property of the
nation; on the bright of her history
shall their deeds be written, their reward the
highest that a soldier can receive—a Nation’s
gratitude, and a nation’s thanks.
The lion. F. 11. Cone, presented the follow
ing resolutions, which were taken up and agreed
to:

Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
It has been said of the temperate that
- ‘their equal days
Feel not the alternate fits of feverish mirth
And sick dejection.”
And it is certain that temperance and moderate
exercise are the best friends of health. But un
fortunately not even these preservatives can ex
empt us In all cashes from sickness. A predisposi
tion to disease is born with thousands of the hu
man family, which neither diet nor regiment nor
exercise can prevent from bearing its legitimate
fruits. Scrofula and many eruptive diseases are
among tlit .taladies, thus entailed upon many.—
But they can be extirpated. SANDS’ SARSA
PARILLA, under Providence, is a sure antidote
for all this class of disorders, whether transmitted
by descent or arising from immediate causes. The
, .disinfectant properties of the preparation reach
the virus which feeds the malady, and literally
root it from the system.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets
which may be obtained of agents gratis.

Mr. A. Alexander :
Dear Sir, — Having been afflicted for more than
ten months with Chronic Inflammation of theLur.gs
—at times very severely—and having adopted
many medicines without any but temporary relief
—I purchased about three bottles of WISTAR’S
BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY j from the ef

all the medicines I had ever taken for that dis
tressing disorder. 1 have by the repeated use of
this valuable Balsam been more free from pres

had anticipted —and indeed conceive that I will I e
cured by continuing its use, of this most dishearl

1 this acknowledgment, which you will use as your
judgment dictates.
