new aud unexpected attitude which has been assumed
by the Common Council This meeting has learned
WIN no less surprise than regret and modification that
tue common Council OF this city, last night by vote
OF seven to four, assumed to grant permission for the
holding OF State Aho N Convention on the twenty
nrst instant at The place where a now assembled
1t Is this vote which has brought the present
together-a vote for which nothing like ius,i.
lcauon, nor indeed an apology; and which, looking to
the previous acts aud declarations of Sc yerai of the AL
dermen who sustained it, is wholly inconsistent with
those acts and declarations.
Therefore, Rcs0iced That the said vote of majority,
OF SAID Common Council is regarded by Ibis meeting
not only as Migrant usurpaton of power tiut body
has no ghiiul authority to grant such permission but
as direct indigny TO the good citizens OF this place
Reso1ed, That we highly approve of the course which
the Mayor OF this city has taken upon this cxctnp
subject course in the judgment of this meeting not
less the dictate OF proper clfrcspect than of sou nd
patriotism and public virtue.
