Col. Perrow arose and offered the following pre-
ameIe and resolutions for the consideration OF the
meeting, which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, all governments in oil free communi
ties are intended TO advance tho prosperity and
happiness of the people, and no government i'm
such community can answer the purposes OF us

distressed people:
! And whereas, owing to the deranged state of the
currency OF our once happy country, great cnlami.
ties have fallen upon the people which threaten
the destruction OF the best interests Of the middle

And whereas, no oxertions OF individuals how
ever worthy or economical, Except il I've few ca.

ments for the want Of money, although they NAV
have property, and debts owing them to much

Therefore, be il Resolped, That it is the duty Of

House, with several amendments. The most i'm
portant Hre,I Striking out the conditional resump-
ton Of 90 days, after the Baltimore and Phadel-
pha Banks have resumed-snd making the resump-
ton absolute on the LIST November. 2. Striking
out the section. requiring the Banks to eurtail. }
Modifying the section relating to Directors, so as
to allow the number to remain as at present-sbo-
lishiug the proposed eompensOtion-but no, allow
ing them to be indebted at Bank for more than
