|
|
this legislature accords with the views of the legislature of

|
|
|
ed their views as to the person who shall next fill the Pre-
|

|
|
|
state — Therefore,
|

|
Henry Clay, has our gratitude; and we believe that the best
|

interests of the nation would be greatly promoted by his
|
|
|
election to the presidency of the United States, after the
|
|
|
present term of office of Andrew Jackson shall have ex-
|
|
|
pired; And we therefore recommend Henry Clay as a suit-
|
|
|
able person for president of the United States — And
|
|
|

|
|
|
Pennsylvania, as a fit and proper person for the next vice-
|
|
|
presidency of the United States.

Resolved, That his excellency the governor, be requested
|

|
|
|
the different states, to be laid before their respective legis-
|
|
|
