Ma. BARRY AND THE COUNCILS fol-
loving is the digni6ed and appropriate note
Of Richard Barry, Esq, to the Board of Com
mon Council, in relation to his position as
Secretary of the same, which resulted in their
appointment Of e. F. Lowrey, Esq, to the
post:
WASHINGTON, July 8, 1854.
SIR: Of course know nothing of the motives
or Intentions of the members Of the Board in
thus long delaying its organization by the
election Of Secretary, but as ii may be very
fairly inferred that this delay arises from o
liked determination not to re elect me, proper
sense OF self-respect impels me to decline act
ing any longer in the capacity Of temporary
Secretary, to which l was appointed on the
DISTINCTLY understood as not toithdrGlo,ng from
ny position as . candidate for the Office Of per-
nansnt Secretary to the Board.
Ny unanimous election to that situation for
upwards Of twenty five successive years by the
chosen representatives of the people Of this
city, affords some evidence that my duties have
been satisfactorily performed, and that no we'll
Eo7nded objections can be urged against my
PERSONAL character.
If, however, in the opinion of the members
u the present. Board, / am disqualified by
pme higher ialo' than the Constitution of
he United States from holding any public
htustion OF honor or profit, they have fitting
opportunity, in my person, of carrying out hos.
principles by obeying the injunctions of that
law
Their decision, on this point, I am perfectly
sllliDg 70 leave to the calm and impartial
Judgment Of my fellow citizens.
Very respectfully, &c, RICHARD BARRY
a Med. Davis, Esq, President Of the Board of
Common Council
