| MAYORS OFFICE NEw YoRK
Thursdsy, May 10, l65lt
Mr.. ISAAC T. HOTTER: Sir have your COM
mppicaton stating that your name In connection
with the late Anti Slavery meetings having ap-
peared in some of the public papers, very errone-
ou.lv. YOU think it right TO make short statement
If facts az far as ysu had anything to do in the
premises, and submit the same TO me for correc-
top. To this have no objection, and as far as ia
NV mower readily sccede to your wishes
The account given by you Of the conversation
between yourself and me at the Mayors Office on
Wednesday morning is not, think, either full or
accurate in several particulars stated to you dis
tnctly in substance, that the Chief of Police was
present in sufficient force to preserve the peace,
| snd had no doubt that he would do So that you
Mayor Office and that you need not have the least
| aDnrehepsion of any danger whatever l state d
also that the Chief of Police was instructed to sui
fer no violence TO be committed or threatenedt 10 be
Committed These words in italics, though emphat-
;cslv and repeatedly uttered by me and made the
snbiect of comment at the time, you nevertheless,
very sineularly, though | do not pretend to say
nnrnosely omit in the account OF the conversation
YOU have transmitted to me-
In reply to your remark that the noise made by
certain persops disturbed the quiet OF the meeting,
I stated that had been informed that Capt. Ryn
ders and his friends, who are alleged to be the dis
| tnrbers had been expressly invited by the Pres
dent of the Society and presiding Office at the Tab
| ernacle, yesterday to attend the meeting at the
| Society Library, and that he had agreed upon
terms on which Capt. Rynders, or some oil his
friends should speak at the meeting, and that one
| of them had according to such agreement spoken
| NJ the Tabernacle by the Invita- on and with the
consent of the presiding officer. observed that II
such was the fact, did not see how should be
justified in ordering the Police to interfere unless
some violence was committed, or threatened to be
| committed.
| think did remark that understood that bias
hen,ies had been uttered by some OF the speakers
and that it would be very difficult, II such was the
fact to pre- serve order and quiet but further i'm
| mediately added, be that as it may, the Chief OF
Police has been instructed to pay no regard to any
mans doctrines or opinions, or any one who may
| u,ter them to express opinion himself on the
subiecs of the meeting to enter into no discussion,
aud not 10 interfere with that OF others That his
orlv business was to preserve the peace, and see
that no person came TO any harm or injury what
ever.
When the people generally are invited to attend
| a poblc meeting do not conceive that II Is the
duty of the Police to interfere with the arrange
nents of the meeting, orinquire who are the speak
ersand what they are to say or on the other hs no.
TO INQUIRE who are the hearers, and whether tney
Afsop nj
NV the sneakers nor is he to prescribe the mode or
manner in which such appreciation or dlsapprooa'
ton is 10 be manifested, or the exact amount,
| or hind of noise which may be made, so that no
| breach of the peace is committed.
| Az notical meetings have always endeavored
70 nreyept the Police from attending, either as par
ties or policemen for reasons sufficiently obvious
without enumerating them. At religious assem-
blies. however, and when meetings OF particular
persons or particular class OF persons only are IN
yited to attend, different rule from the ABOVE
/ should be observed. ,
while the Police are bound 10 preserve the peace
they are at the same time required not TO invade
the right of free opinion, free discussion, or any
| other private rights and if persons attend pursu
| ant to the call Of general meeting, and from dis
like 10 the speakers on the sentiments they utter,
are simply noisy without com hitting or threaten
I | ing any present harm TO any one, and especially
where the individual chosen by the meeting as its
presiding officer, and TO preserve order, and the
4 only one who should be recognised as having au
4 thority to express the wishes of the society Ell
Q meeting, does not solicit the removal of such per
SOILS, but on the contrary invites them TO discus:
