Every delegate ut the meeting fnrn,al
and coolly declared his determination 10
risk his life in tho contemplated demon

that their constituents would emulate the
example thus set them by holding simul.a-

There is little doubt 10 use Mr.. O'Con-

withdraw their savings from these banks,
they would more c6ectually attack tho
Government thnn if,hcy made direct nj
tack on the Horse Guards. Tho Govern

drafted into tho Metropolis, so that il il
