The Committee then returned and reported tho
following resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, There exists a controversy between
the Editor of the Shield and Banner, and a
large portion of the Democracy of Richland
County, in relation 10 bis course as an Editor,
be it therefore
Resolved, That in his Editorial in reply to the
Resolutions passed at the Rome Meeting, on the
% of Nov, he has shown an utter disregard of
truth, by denying that he has attempted to stifc
public opinion by leading Editorials in reply to
certain communications, which can be proved. I?
Resolved, That the charges set forth in the
9th Resolution are virtually true, from the fact
that john Y. Glessner did attribute the defeat OF
r.. Woo,o, 60 tba S,,,,.;ous Tickets tho WhipS
had put in circulation, which no one could con-
strue in any other way than that set forth in
the Resolution.
Resolved, That John Y. Glessner falsifes
when he asserts that he did not take sides on a
question in which there wasa difference of Opin-
ion in our ranks. The columns Of his own
paper will too plainly show that his sOphistry
on the fifth resolution, in the last number Of the
Shield and Banner is a base falschood
Resolved, That John Y Glessner, IN stating
that his columns were closed against Isaac Crunl,
and his friends in the North, carries out the
principles of which he is accuscdin the 3D. Rcso-
luton of the meeting held in Rome, the I'd inst,
and that he did utter such language can be
proved.
Resolved, That when communication 10
offered to Democratic Editor it does not ne
ccssary follow that he must counsel Judge
Myers, S. J. Kirkwood or B. Burns to see wheth-
cr it would be right.
Resolved, That rs the 81 Resolution of the
meeting of the I'd inst, has so effccually stirred
the bile of the aristocratic Editor Of Rchlapd Co.,
that the proceedings Of this meeting may help
linn discharge the balance Of his affected liver
and restore him to health, without visit to the
sea-shore.
Resolved, That We have been credibly IN
formed, and believe. that the counterfeit tickets
which the dumb Democrats voted, and thereby
defeated Col. Weaver, were got up and printed
by self-styled Democrats, in the Shield and Ban
licr Office.
Resolved, That John Y. Glessner in attempt
ing to saddle the responsibility Of the Rome
meeting upon a Trio" is a direct insult to
NIessrs Starr and Chew, and fully confirms our
opinion, that ''bread and butter" is the leading
principle that actuates the man.
Resolved, That the Shield and Banner, as a
Paper, is not less than ten years behind the
spirit of the age, and the Democracy it tries to
represent.
Resolved, That We fully endorse and reitcr-
ate the sentiments expressed at the meeting on
the Cd iust, held in Rome for the purpose Of
taking into consideration the course Of John Y.
Gessner, as u Democratic Editor.
On motion Of 7. J: North, committee of five
was appointed as Vigilance Committee. On
motion
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the Plymouth Advertiser

JAMES HUNTER, Sec'y.
