Meeting Yesterday = The New Years Call

The Oldest Inhabitants Association held its
regular December meeting yesterday afternoon
in the Criminal Courtroom Of the City Hall. Or.
Gunton occupied the chair, and Mr.. Nicholas
Callan acted as secretary, in the absence OF j.
Carroll Brent esq.
DR.. John b. Blake informed the association OF
the illness Of Mr.. Brent which detained him from
the meeting.
Mr. Nicholas CaIlan also referred to the severe

Brent and MIR. Thomas, which was carried unani-

their deem interest in the association, and had
been extremely desirous not to have their names
Mr., Caiian reminded the association Of their
annual custom Of visiting the Chief Magistrate Of
the nation upon the trst day Of January, and
hoped that the association would take some meas
ure for performing their custom during the COM
ing New Years day
meet at the office Of Mr.. Callan and proceed to
the White House.
POLITICAL scRUPLEs.
Judge Clark said that he hoped conscientious
patriotic principles might be excused in him. 1t
might appear that he was captious, but he had
been taught to the simplicity of the repub-
Lean Se ebe ~ the nsGn haa
eervants of ths people. He thought Il was time to
curb the tendencies TO do honor 70 titles. Their
liberties were in danger. His father had suffered
more than any other man in the Revolution for the
liberties that he enjoyed, and he was not going to
be a recreant son. For sixty years the country
had been well governed, and there had been more
thIsvng in the past four years than in all the rest
together.
At this point several members rose and left the
room, ebiecting to Judge Clark's remarks as tee
strongly political.
Dr. Blake said that he regretted the remarks Of
Judge Clark. If he had not wished to joln with
them in their annual custom, he need not have
done go. In his opinion the present administra-
tion of the Government was more in c0nsonance
with the Constitution than any previous Admins
tion. In olden times, people had to be arrayed in
court dress in order to wait upon the President.
People had to observe this custom. So far as the
conduct of the chief officers were. concerned. it
was much more republican than ever before DR.
Blake's remarks were received with applause.
Judge Clark said he hoped that the association
would excuse him for having spoken his con-
seientious seruples of political character.
Mr.. Chauncey Bestor said that he could verify
DIR. Blake's statement. He had been refused ad-
mittance to the Executive Mansion during Madi-
sons administration because he had not been
suitably attired and in those days a ceremonious
introduction was necessary.
DIR. Blake then repeated his motion, and re-
marked further that the President had always
shown a mark of respect to the association by en-
rolling their names in the catalogue of those re-
ceived upon that day. The association then ad-
iOurned.
