REVOLUTIONS OF THE Board OF Trade
At meeting Of the members Of the Board
Of Trade, held at their rooms on Thursday
morning, the following Resolutions were
passed:
ResoIved, That in the opinion of this Board
Of Trade the vastly increasing Commerce Of
TIE Lakes merits and requires the protection
and encouragement of the General Govern
ment.
Rssolved, That in view Of the immense in
terests exposed by the defenceless condition
of our Northern Frontier, Navy Yard and
Station, to be located at some central, con-
venient and secure Port upon the Lakes, is
absolutely and imperatively necessary, and
is demanded by every principle Of forecast
and common prudence, as we'll as by simple
Justice to the people Of the Great West boz
dering upon these Lakes.
ResolUed, That we believe the City and
Harbor Of Cleveland contain the most cen
tral, safe and convenient cite, nearest and
most accessible generally to the material nee
essary for a Navy Yard and Station, and
that our Representative in Congress, Hon.
R. P. Spalding, be requested to give the sub
jsct his special and particular attention.
ResoEued, That q committee Of three be ap-
OllL5Q 10 huOpt anu CHlA y Ouh sum mOeoNiSo
for the promotion Of the object as they may
deem essential and expedient.
