MAKE WAY FOR OLD COLUMBIA!
s'MR. VAN BUREN, AT HOME -
The Sab Treasury, Electioncering Prcsidens
rebukcd in has Ndtipc County, and in the
"City OF his Adoption!!n The Mayor and
Common Council Of Hudson NOBLY
refused to be made the plant TOOLS of
acorrupt and corrupsing PARTY!!!
Early on Friday last, the following anony-
nous handful was posted up throughout our
city; but from whom it emanated, or by
whom printed, the public was left to conjec-
ture; and strange as it may appear, some of
our slre,cd Wing friends almost fancied there
was some Loco Focoism at the bottom Of it.
Meeting to make arrangements for the re-
cepsion Of the President Of tie U. Stat.s.-
A genes&l meeting of the citizens of Hudson
and its vicinity, will be held at Bagly's
Mansion House, this evening at 8 O'Clock,
to make arrangements for the reception Of
the President, who is expected to arrive in
this city in the course of few days.
MANY CITIZENS.
Friday, July Is, 1889.
Accordingly, as one Of the .citizens'' call
ed upon, We were on the spot at the appoint
ed time; but O'clock had come and gone.
and we were on the point of going too, but
our attention being arrested by waiter of
the hotel, who by the way, is very polite
colored man, busily engaged in drumming up
and leading NE few citizens to a dining
room, where, he said the meeting would be
hold so we followed in his wake, and took
our seat with about twenty of our fellow-cit-
liens. 1t may be well to remind the reader
that Hudson contains some 1000 inhabit-
ants.
At half past eight, there were not more
than fifty persons in the room, and these, for
the most part, appeared to have been drawn
together from motives of curiosity, and we
are happy to say that Wing faces were re-
ndrkably scarce. A "Democratic'' Chair
man and Secretary being appointed, Darius
Peck, Esq. another Democratic friend" in
formed his hearers that they had assembled
to concert measures for the reception of the
President of the United States, and he ho-
ped that his reception into his natire conn
ty and the city of his adoption would be
worthy the man and the occasion! mo
doubt it willy
The Common Council, continued Mr..
Peck, joined with the people in inviting
President Jackson to visit us, when he was
on similar tour-that they rendered him
the Inequalities ofthe city, and he hoped the
present Common Council would do the same,
Mr.. Hogeboom, "Democratic friend''
also, followed much in the same strain, but
urging that it was duty to show our attach
nlcnt to President Van Buren, O. 1--WE quote
the gentleman's language,) by a suitable
demonstration. The President was not fond
of parade, and he hoped that no great exhi-
bition would be made (rather an unnecessary
caution)--but still it was right tina. we
should invite him to public dinner. Dartic-
ularly, as in all probability, he would dc.
cline, and after very feeling and patriotic
address, in which the honorable gentleman
clearly evinced his love and devoted cat
tactment' to the man, he moved that com
mlttee of twenty, subsequently altered to
forty, be appointed, to make the necessary
for Mr.. Van Buren's recep-
ton.
Accordingly, the names of some forty in
divlduals, very few of whom were present,
including THREE Wings, and the MEM
bers Of the Common Council, were present
ed to the meeting and adopted.
On the following morning, small portion
OF the Committee of Arrangement met. and
appointed Committee of TWO, Zone
Wing, who was not present at the public
meeting, and consequently ignorant Of its
partisan character to wait upon the Mayor.
and requesthim to call special meeting of
the Common Council, for the purpose of
passing resolution rendering the hospitali-
ties Of the city to Martin Van Buren,.
With his characteristic promptness, the
Mayor convened tho Council, the proceed
ings of which will be found in another col
umn.
Too much credit cannot be accorded to
ms honor the Mayor, and Assistant Alder
man Cook, and the other Wing members.
Tor the noble and patriotic stand they fear
Iessly maintained, in thus afiixing the seal Of
their official disapprobation upon the first
attempt of the President Of the United States
to use the dignity his elevated station forl
he groyeling and debasing purpose of
strengthening his party, BY political and |
partisan harangues, made to the people, |
when they had assembled 10 greet him Is |
he Chief Head of the Nation.
