Peace Meeting at Nyack.
Considerable excitement has been caused in
Nyack, Rockland Co., N. Y, by the publication of
diate cessation of hostilities. Wherever the bills
were seen they were torn down, and threats were
MADE that disturbance would eusue, if any attempt
was made to hold such a meeting.
The Union of Nyack feeling that some of
their leading officers in the town were inclined to
pursue this method of sympathizng with the rebels
OF the South, sent the following Communication to
Superintendent john A. Kennedy Of this city:
NYACK, July H.
To SUPERINTENDENT KENYEDY- Dear Sir: The
undersigned citizens If the village of Nyack
believe the call attached to this petition is traitor
Gus in word and spirit, and calculated to give aid
and comfort to the rebels, by the publication in
southern papers that reaction in the public sem
umeut has taken place in the North, and believe
from the excited state of the public mind in ref
erence to the call, that there will be boodshed and
HaGtr NpI ID I,plfr,
torney and Justice OF the Peace's attached to
this call, we cannot expect aid from them to sup
press discord, and prevent the holding of such an
unlawful and traitorous meeting.
