The Nou-ImportatIon nIeetins last NIsht

/
Brainard's Hall was filed last night by a
large and respectable audience, who had
gathered, in response to the call published
yesterday, to consider the question of adopt
ing pledge against the use of imported
Injuries.
Judge a. v. Wilson was chosen chair
man, and ]. @. Sage, Esq, secretary, Of the
meeting.
Col. Whittesey, being called on to state
the object Of the meeting, addressed the au-
diencs on the necessity of greater economy
being practised in order to prevent the sx-
pOrtatiOn of gold to foreign countries. he
thought the course pursued by England and
France toward US during cur civil war,
justified the American people in refusing
to buy any articles from them other than
those of absolute necessity. He closed by
recommending the appointment of a commit
tee of five, to present report and resOIu-
ton on the subject of foreign impOrtstiOns.
The following committee was appointed
on this subject: Charles Whittlesey, A.
Stone, Jr., Samuel Williamson, N. B. Scott.
J. G. Mccurdy:
During the consultation Of the Committee
Judge D. R. Tilden made few remarks. At
ter him, the speakers announced failing to
be present, Mr.. Mosweeney, of Wooster, was
called out an made vigorous, eloquent and
patriotic Appeslin behalf Of the object pre-
posed by the meeting.
The Committee then presented their re-
port, which is in process Of revision, and will
be published tomorrow morning. Their
report recommended the appointment of an
other committee of seven gentlemen and
seven ladies to consult still further, draft
resolution against the use Of certain srti-
cles, propose form Of Organization through
out the county, &c, and report st a future
meeting.
The following committee was appointed:
Chss Whittlesey, Mrs Governor BrOugh,
A Stone, jr, " A B Stone,
Samuel Williamson, '' G A Benedict,
M Scott, ." G ColweII,
J G NcGurdy, VIM Msttleburger
D r Tilden, S Williamson,
b il Payne, E" NJ C YoungIove.
The meeting was not such as it should have
been. The gentlemen announced to speak
were not present, and We think there was but
feeble representation from the ministers
of the city. If the work proposed is to be
accomplished, theTe must be more vigor and
enthusiasm shown.
