COUNCIL AGREE TO MEMoRIALIzE THE GOVERNOR
IN THEIR BEHALF, ETC.
Tho Twelfth regiment seem to have adopted the motto
Of the gallant Captain, who said 'Dont give up
ship" Yesterday afternoon they appeared in great force
before tho joint Committee Of the Common Council af-
pointed TO memorialise tho Governor in their behalf 10
hear their case pleaded there in opposition to the re-
monsirmce sent in by Generals Sandford and Even
against the memorial since the appointment OF the com
KHtee.
IT, Hawthorn, counsel of tho regiment being permittcd
10 address the meeting by Alderman Brady, the chair
man, said he considered rather extraordinary
that neither Of the generals who in tho rconstranee
appeared say word in its support For his part
he felt satisfied that all the opposition given to the Twelfth
regiment from the personal feelings OF General
landlord towards its officers and out of the superior favor
in (which he held the members of the Highland regiment
the organization OF which agtaed about the time
The disbandment Of the Twelfth the disbandment
ing considerably the formation of corps which
known be numerically deficient Because Colonel Cox
obey the order of General Sanford turn out
the Twelfth TO participate in the Monroe obsequies last
and said 10 have committed breach of discipline
though he informed the General that the had not uni
form dress fit TO make turnout suitable for such
<ason, and gave other equally satisfactory
reasons for declining TO obey the order Then,
soon afterwards, the regiment is ordered to CON
solidate with another, and this they also refuse
to obey, because consolidation was obnoxious
them, and they discover in the command nothing
than revival OF the personal feehng cherished against
their colonel is The law that regiment only be
disbandedwhcn AS companies fall below the numerical
strength which the State law requires, and while tho
Twelfth superior to other existing regiments in this
particular he could not why the law should be
ousy exercised upon Alone In conclusion he could
scewhy corps bearing the reputation Of the Twelfth for
the honor and responsibility Of It's members its readiness
10 perform military duties when they dcvovcd upon it,
and its discipline and other favorable qualities should be
summarly and rashiy dsbanded
