For the Deld,cdre Republican.
MIR. EDIToR:-The nineteen line editorial
in Every Evening OF last Wednesday, giving an
account of the "Anti Park Meeting" held in the
City Hall on Tuesday evening, the l0th inst,
exhibits Il great degree of petty meanness, and
1t was evidently written by an upstart, who in
himself has neither influence ner standing, of
any kind, sort, or degree, in the community
The Gazette of Wednesday says The meelfyg
was not as large as it should have been, though
very respectable. The Republican of the Thurs
day following says it was quite largely attended
Having had previous engagement myself
did not get there, but saw and conversed with
gentlemen the next day, who assured me it was
quite as large as most Of the public meetings

That has ever taken place since we were made
City, and that too at period when the taxes
have already become intolerably burdensome
This being the case we think 1t emnently right
and proper that the City Council should, be-

MIR. Sanderson is always pleased to receive Wis
itors in seasonable hours, but those who come
at midnight, on questionable errands, should be
careful how they trespass on his premises.
