W haley and Hon. Samuel r. Cary from th..
assaults which had been m abe Oh ,ham and
he therefore tered the following Iesoiutisn:

Mr. Donald McCathran seconded the resolu.

who Were members of the WorkIugInpn'S As
sembly as don BILE .dy; d traitors, and could uot
consent To dish JnOr himself by crossing lance,

He was ever zralous IN sounding his PRAISE,
and nothing could b. said thai was equal 10
his admiration OF his cnara :ter. The chlryes
against the assembiage OF wor klngnen at New
York on the 2d OF J uly were false, aud b, was
surprised that any gentlemen, who had bel.
among them as two of them had. and h id vat
messed the difficulties they had encountered.

mar meeting was never intended - "A cJaven-
lion OF the Worklngmen's Assemblies, but
merely AS conference, in which ali working.
men We're invited 10 participate. Politics, hr

OF labor was at stake, and he bal a! ,yays op.
posed its introduction.

proof OF SUCH An idea that prominent: Radi-
cal OF this city, a member of tue assembly, and

Mr.. }. y. CIV haley defended himself against
the charge OF having any political object IN
men IN New York, and bad read fr ON he GIN
cinnau Enquirer a letter signed by himself and
others, addressed 10 Hon. Samuel +. Cary in
which he defined his position aud defended
both Mr.. Cary and the conference against the
false allie aIlons that had been made in the adj.
dress published by Messrs Brock, Flynn,
Matting!y and others. As To the insl nuaiions
against himself, he should undertake no de-
fence; their effect had already begun {, be de-
veloped. In conclusion, he read letters and
proceedings o1 workingmen's assemblies
abroad endorsing his course and offending
