PREsIDENT-I was going to return you my thanks
for your unanimous return of myself as President
but my labors n-connection with this society are
nearly ended, and now tender you my resignation

election, but had net the egotism to suppose that
after what had occurred, should be reelected. |

pleased to receive my resignation. | am getting
old, and it is time had leisure from active partici

Rev. q. b. JUDD did not see the consistency or
delicacy of refusing the Presidents resignation, af
ter having passed the resolution of the morning,
and knowing the Presidents sentiments on the sub
ject. (iisses, and confusion, which lasted some
seconds.)
Rev. Mr.. TUCKER considered the last brothers
remarks as being bad in spirit, and as evidencing
that there was some understanding among those
who had opposed the mornings resolution :.
Rev. Mr.. COLGATE moved that the resignation OF
the president be accepted, much as he regretted
the necessity of such course. He deprecated the
juvenile remarks of Rev. Mr.. Judd Having been
seconded, the motion was duly passed The
meeting then proceeded 10 the election Of president.
Rev. Mr.. COLGATE proposed Rev. DIR. WEIGH, and,
after having been duly seconded, the election was
confirmed by the meeting.
Rev. T.. G.. SoN,iERs took the chair, and the
meeting proceeded to discuss some matters of no
general interest, electng the Hon. Ira Harris to
supply the vacancy in the second vce-presidency,
caused by Rev. DR.. ,Welch being returned as
chairman.
