attendance, and who in various ways demonstra-
ted their high respect tor their Chief magistrate
These were citizens, without distinction OF party;
and the Sheriff OF Rensselaer,, and several gentle
men of other parts of the county were present.
Governor Bouck and the committee were In con-
ference three or four hours. We are OF course not
appraised OF what passed on the occasion, or OF the
nature and extent Of the propositions on either
side; but we cannot but hope that the mission MY
not be entirely unsuccessful in promoting an adj
justment Of these difficulties. In front OF the
churches a stage had been erected, from which
several speakers, residents Of the manor, addressed
the assemblage. Governor Bouck was, OF course,
not present at these proceedings but after the con-
ference OF the committee had been closed Tor this
occasion, he received the calls of the people.
Everything was conducted with deccrum, and no
symptoms Of disorder were manifested on their
part We are informed, that the conferences be-
tween the Governor and the committee have not
been concluded, and that they may be resumed
propositions having been made, which II is SIN
cerey to be hoped may lead TO satisfactory results
