This Committee will meet tomorrow lFTi-
day) night, in the lecture room Of the Mechan-
les Institute, 20 organize for an official call up
on the Chief Magistrate of the city, and request
him TO resign. -
Never before in the history Of Cincinnati
was there ever such universal feeling Of in
dignation towards the course Of any man as is
now felt towards Mr.. Snelbaker. We doubt
whether the city was ever so excited upon any
question, not even excepting the dark age of
mobs; snd the only influence which now ope-
rates against popular outbreak, is that the
better judgment of the people is fully exercised.
1t is well known that the Catholic Hierarchy
are thirsting for ply attack, for they sup
pose thereby to create sympathy in their be-
half under The plea of persecution; and it is
thought by many that the recent course Of the
Romlsh leaders has been with view to incite
to violence. The course Of the mayor is looked
upon BY many as being strongly tinctured with
foreign influence, and If this is The ease, he ne
yer can receive sufficient reward for this base
disposal of his body and soul. Already he be.
gins TO crawfish, as will be seen by the follow
ing note published in the Gazette Of this morn
ing, which bears the impress of nervous hand,
and fear Of the whirlwind of public opinion
which he has created:-
Messrs. Editors:-In reference TO the man
kirkland, it is my purpose not TO interfere with
him further, except TO protect him as would
any other citizen, unless directed by Council TO
pursue some other course.

We learn also that the Mayor sent into the
City Council, during IFS session last night, a
lengthy communication, alluding to his conduct
IN regard to Mr.. Kirkland, giving the reasons
that prompted him to his course, and stating,
that unless the Board saw fit TO give him explicit
instructions relative TO it, he should not in fu-
lure, take any action in regard to the preaching
of Mr.. X. in the streets.
Though the members were generally aware
that the communication had been sent in, they
did not suffer it to come up, and finally ad-
jOurned until Monday evening, without taking
any action relative 10 it.
