JOHN P. Stage, Sec'y
The report was listened to with deep atten-
ton. Where it describes the line of conduct
pursued by Mr. Dudley Selden, cheers and
great enthusiasm was evinced. Each alluslon
to MIR. Lawrence was followed by groans and
hssess.
That to Messrs Cambreleng and White, by
cries of shame! shame! Where the committee
stated they had waited on the Vlce-Presldent,
and official duties had prevented him meeting
them, pretty general laugh ensued; and at the
mention of Mr.. Taney's name, oh! OH oh! was
cried out in various places.
The proceedings in the great hall OF the Ex-
change having terminated the crowd OF persons
in the street who had not been able to gain adj
mittance there, called upon Philip Hone, Esq
to read from the portico in front ofthat building
the report and resolutions we have given above
He complied with this request and they were
received precisely in the same manner as they
| had been in the Hail. On concluding Mr.. Hone
observed that as it was necessary on subjects sc
! important no misunderstanding should ensue
| he would ask them on their honors as men, ano
as American citizens loving their country IN
this hour of peril if they approved with all then
hearts and soul this report and resolutions. Aye
| ave. resounded from rysde, and not single
| dissenting voice was heard. Mr.. Hone ther
took off his hat and said, "Three cheers foi
Dudley Seldom" Never did three louder OF
heartier cheers follow than those that then rams
| through Wall street.-Courier.
