We proceed to give sketch of the proceed
ings, but in consequence of the crowded state
of our columns, the report must be much
shorter than we would otherwise make it.
Indeed we do not consider it very material to give
full report, inasmuch as the unanimous feeling
that prevailed at the former meeting, and the for
chile resolutions that were passed there, were
convincing proof that the Empire City is in favor
of enabling the administration, by all constltu-
tional means, prosecute the war with the utmost
vigor until an honorable peace shall have been
acquired.
The first speaker was EDMUND ]. PORTER, Esq
who, after a few preliminary remarks, proposed
