dem who Tor nothing but Il
head the President.
Re solred, That in our opinion, man not welded

President for refusing To sign bill, professedy fol-
object, while another feature, known to be OBJ

the p, pulariy of the man whose ruin is much de-
sired by certain hitherto professed friends of his.

rosity of the editors of the Penn Yam Democrat, fol-
publishing the call for this meeting most heartily
condemn the illiberaity of the Wing" in declining
to publish it, in the same manner.
Resolred That the thanks of this meeting be pre-
sented to the several gentlemen who have so ably
and eoquently addressed us, and that the proceed
ings be published in the New York Union, the Madi-
