creased exertons in the good cause.-The swelling note
of victory which proclaimed the triumph OF our regene'
| rated CITY in November is still sounding in ears,
and wa doubt the cheering echo oil louder STRAIN
in April, will convey Wing brethren in every
town and hamlet in the State the assurance thatwe IKE
them, are still found faithful.
A. Resolved That this meeting highly approves the
conduct of the Wing members Of the Senate and House
of Assembly of this State, during the present session.
who have steadily pursued the interest OF the otae'
and obeyed the expressed will OF the people, notwith-
standing the insidious attempts OF the majority IN one
House, and the little unit Of opposition IN the other to
defeat their patriotic measures and embarrass their
proceedings.
s. Resolved That the Wings of this city have espe-
cal cause to be proud of the contribution which hey
have made the of intelligence, patriotism and
| civic virtue in both houses &C the Legislature.
O. Resolved, That the measure which the Nauonai
Administration is about force upon the people of this
country, against their consent but which they dare not
consummate until after Charter Elections and the
adoption OF which will be Inscribed upon the
page of nations history letters backer than those
used in the famous expunling operaton--THE REPUB-
Lie is AT AN ENDS raugh with greater evils 10 our
devoted city than any other portion OF country what.
may be the immediate effects OF the passage OF
the Sab Treasury Bill whether the volcano seal burst
with instant ruin their heads, or in screening
streams gliding slowly and nsdiously shall de
stroy in detail the hopes of the husbandnan and lay
the pleasant places ofthe land whether the plague
shall walk openly by MONDAY or approach us IN the
silent and unguarded watches Of the night its effects are
equally certain. The enterprising merchant, the
aable capital has hitherto consisted in his pro.
by his perseverance ard his ability, Supported by well
earned credit which those attributes heretofore
to command must fall under It's oaneful influence. The
small freeholder whose honest earnings aided by loans
prudeny contracted have been invested in real estate,
will find from the dimnution of the value OF his pro-
perty the failure of profitable employment and the less
of mutual confidence his inability to meet the payment
| of interest and finally sccrhce that
which was his main dependance-even the long estab-
shed capitalist, who relying upon the accumulated re-
sources OF many prosperous years has not heretofore
had occasion that credit which forms the
cemeHt of commercial community, will be unable from
similar contribute of his abundance to the sup
port of honest industry and the encouragement OF the
mechanical arts, and our noble city "cartaed OF Its
fair proportions, checked IN its iaudabe enterprise
its interests betrayed and its hopes basedw serve
al least for three years to monument OF the
ingratitude of New YoRK's FAvoURITE Son."

the country. This battle could be won II they would
