Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government/1836 Whig Party Resolutions
Whig Resolutions, Albany, N. Y., February 3.
Resolved, That in support of our cause, we invite all citizens opposed to Martin Van Buren and the Baltimore nominees.
Resolved, That Martin Van Buren, by intriguing with the executive to obtain his influence to elect him to the presidency, has set an example dangerous to our freedom and corrupting to our free institutions.
Resolved, That the support we render to William H. Harrison is by no means given to him solely on account of his brilliant and successful services as leader of our armies during the last war, but that in him we view also the man of high intellect, the stern patriot, uncontaminated by the machinery of hackneyed politicians—a man of the school of Washington.
Resolved, That in Francis Granger we recognize one of our most distinguished fellow-citizens, whose talents we admire, whose patriotism we trust, and whose principles we sanction.
