Erie Excoriated.

The resolutions herewith presented we
find in the Buffalo Express. They convey
the calm and deliberate. sentiments Of a large
and respeciables body o( passeRaeEs, who
wege detained by 'ihe feak 81 Eris on The
1olh, inst. Al a meeting held BY the indig-
nant travellers, committee Of gentlemen
was appointed from The following States 10
express the sense of the assembly: New
York, Ohio, New Jersey, Connecticut, Yer
mont. Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin,,
Michigan, Rhode Island, Missouri and Penn
lsyvania.
The following singing and spicy docu-
menl was lhe product thereof II was unan-
mously endorsed by the crowd.
u Resulted. That the Mayor of all Erie
ought 10 be treated with contempt and looked
upon as desparado, for aiding md heading
mob in tearing up the railroad track and
countenancing the Erie hack drivers 10 rob
The travelling community of one dollar each
for short ride around Erie. ...a
Resolved, That The conduct of The Mayor
of Erie, the Honorable M. King, with his
fellow workers in iniquity, deserve the
slronges. censure from all good and law.
abiding citizens of this country; that il has
been and is the most infamous example OF
mob-law Witnessed in this land of order and
good government, und that This conduct Of
citizens OF Erie will make their city his.
sing and a a'by.word for all time.
Resolved, That if Erie persists in her
present course of iniamy and outrage Oh the
travelling public, let the blight and curse Of
her evil deeds drive all prosperity from her
borders, and lei her be like the last Of Sodom
and Gomorah until The day Of judgment.
ReSolUed, That the citizens in every State
oflhis Union, should feel a deep interest in
having the miscreants of Erie visited with
the vengeance Of The law, in such terrific
form as will forever deter them or any like
people (l such can be found) from similar
acts Of outrage.
The report is signed by Gouvernuer Bibby,
Of New York, Chairman, and ]. ]. Craven,
Of New Jersey, Secretary.
