account of the proceedings of a great meeting of the mete"
of that city, at which it was resolved : t te°
That the wide-spread disaster which has oYer-etest
the commercial interests of the country, and which thres'op

tributed to the interference of the general Government " its
the commercial and business operations of the country: Ns,
intermeddling with the currency ; its destruction of the
evdit
tional Bank ; its attempt to substitute a metallic fora er of
currency ; and generally to the issuing by the President
co
the United States of the Treasury orders known as the sPe
circular. 11"
" Resolved—That while we should do nothing which leo it
for a moment compromise our respect for the laws, Ise, tooth
incumbent upon us -to remind the 'Executive of the rteeet
that the Government of the country, as of late admauirdid
