SPgtng the Countrg.-A few patriots OF the
Samuel Townsend school OF versatile politics
assembled at the City Hall on yesterday al.
ternoon, having especial solicitude for the
safety of the country. They were not in
session long. They swore by johnson, and
drank NIT Samuel and went home again,
The country is.saie.
At II statedmeeling of the Board of Health,
held in the City Hall, on the 27th of July,
1866 the following preamble and resolutions
We're unanimously adOpled:--
WHEREAS, In the mysterious, yet all-wsc
Providence of Almighty God, Dr. j. FRANK
LIN VAUGHAN, II member of this Board from
the Fourth Ward, has been removed from
this life; and
WHEREAS, Although painful necessity,
il is nevertheless pleasumble duty to cX-
press our appreciation OF him as man and
Il city official; therefore,
Resoiged, That in the death of DR. VAUGHAN
the members OF this Board have lost a genial,
waIm-heafted companion, and the Board u
WISE capable, discreet and efficient member.
Resotged, That in this death we recognize
the loss OF one, who, gifted in nm eminent
degree by nature and education, was I'm Or
nament to society; as II safe and competent
counsellor in public affairs, loss to the com
munity, and whose generous hearted and
open handed liberality will long he rcmcm-
hcred with gratitude by those who shared in
his beneiacions.
Resot0ed, That in the decided and unvary
ing course pursued by him MS a tried friend
of the Union, we behold beauty aud con.
sistcncy that are every way worthy Of imita-
ton. In the dark hour OF our country's
peril, when the open and avowed foes Of Il
rightiul government, assisted by their more
ireacherous, secret allies, sought the dtstruc
tion of the Republic, his loyalty was une-
quivocal and uncompromisng; unwaverng
adherence TO the principles OF law, order
and liberty, and a strong and abiding love
for the old flag, led him TO devote unhesita-
tngly, his influence, his time, and his ex-
tended means for the perpetuatlon Of those
principles, and for the supremacy of that ilag
oyer the whole country.
Resolged, That while we regret the loss 'oi
one, who, by his uniform .gentlemanly de-
pertinent, and his many amahle qualities
endeared him to all who knew him, we would
not forget those who have experienced "a
much deeper sorrow, and hereby express
our sincere sympathy with those who have
been more nearly bcreayed in this sud and
ntiliCtive dispensation.
Resoloed That Il copy Of the foregoing pre-
amhle and resolutions be forwarded 10 the
