On Saturday evening last the members of the Mer-
camille Library Association, who are in favor of the
ticket headed for President Charles Rolfe and who 90
for liberal principles, held meeting at Clinton Hail.
Ii was probably the largest meeting ever before held
upon a similar occasion. Mr. r. X. BOYD, the present
President called the meeting 10 order, and Mr.. Andrew
Mount late Vice President of the Association took the
Chair. After the objects had been stated the meeting
unanimously confirmed all the nominations of the Com
mttee. One name was Withdrawn, however from the
list of Directors, and Mr.. B. NJ Whtlock an old direc-
tor, nominated by reclamation.
series Of resolutions introduced by Mr.. Wm
A. Stokes, expressive of the intention of the meeting
support the whole ticket through thick and thin but at
the time doing full justice to the motives of the
opposition. and desiring each man to examine and judge
for himself.
Mr.. ]. H. Gourlie addressed the meeting, warmly
urging the claims of Mr. Role, and the ticket which he
heads-he also paid merited compliment TO Mr. BOYD
for the zeal and ability which had distinguished his ad
mnisraon, andis to deliver lecture at Clinton Hall,
Tuesday evening. Mr.. r. r. Bovd addressed the
meeting, and gave some very interesting details Of the
origin and progress of the institution. He ALSO in the
most decided manner, urged the members to support
the regular nominations The close of his address was
followed with warm and prolonged applause. Mr..
VIM. A. Stokes in address distinguished for mild
ness and good feeling, supported the proposition that
an opposition benefit TO the institution, but in
sisted that had the better SIDE and that should
sustain the regular nominations.
Every thing conducted with the utmost harmony
and good feeling appeared to be the order of the day"
or rather night.

money would be paid unless the American government

as menacing the message of the President The de-
spalches containing these facts, received in Wash

on Saturday last and is confidently expected thatthe

IL is also stated that Mr.. Webster has positively as

from very high authority in Washington, stating that
no remission Of duties the original packages of goods

hcular knowledge of the general sentiments of the
House of Representatives. The Committee of Ways
and Means had the subject under discussion. IL
believed they would report bill authorising such
remission, but expected it would pass.
Such result we have always predicted. We knew
