The names of the Vice Presidents were received
With loud applause. When the nane Of Edward
Stuyvesant wss called the Secretary said that he
not at all related to the mover Of the Police bill.
The cell OF the meeting then read by RosgRr
B. MINIuRS. Before reading the resolutions he said
ern confident that every person feels that there
il an increased security for life and property and ia
deed that our police has become the pride OF New
York Sir in every mode in which publ, opinion
can manifest itself il has been expressed in favor OF
such system ard against ceangs, by the press, oy
