TIE petition Just read was taken into the Mayors
Office by those whose names appended to it, and
read 10 his delighted ears. He in return, expressed
hs deep sympathy with the petition, as agreeing with
the proposals in bis message to the Common Council
He said that lie would do oil in his Pc Ser for the ale
Walton Of the terrible misery now resting upon the
people, ard that ne would bring the menoial IeKt
week TO the detbsration of the Common Coun I'll. Hs
hoped the Committee would endeavor to keep toe
quiet ana TO make them wait until tue decis
ion OF the authorities given. Several papers had
pretended that the whole movement WAS it;a
ole, and especially composed OF mob wac had
nothing less IN view than to create disturbance to ran
sack the city, and push toward socisl revolution.
But from the firm, yet moderate, terms II the memo
rial, he vas happy TO see that such was not taeir
intention.

agaiDst which intention must protest with al our
power. The people outsde hungry. aud myself,
the only protector Of my family, with Elk children
being since Elk weeks without working, cannot
wait so org in our present misery. Why hiss ths

Common CouJcil appointed long ago q Committee Of
FIVE. and gave them or6ers TO make their report or

day We are tie OF the h, and no report hi,

Their suerngs are cruel and csonot warrant To At
