ublant spirit and manly determination worthy the in
tcllieence, the thrift the wealth, and the Democracy
Of that part fthe city. THIS Ward saved the reputa-
ton Of the City Of NewYork, in the way that the
State of New-YoIk saved the reputation Of The Union
by casting majority for Fremont and Dayton, for
Free Speech and Free Soil.
Before the meeting was organized party Of Fill
shut off the gas in the lower passase-way
leading to the oom and closed the door so as TO
