great example OF the torbearance an
:. magnanimity of the American people, i
a standing reproach to republican in

Y General Assembly of the State, under
the control and guidance of the Repub
: lican majority therein, has been in al
: respects revolutionary, and fraugh
with evil to the city of Cincinnati.
q. That the same to a large exten

J Iment which is the tOundatio
Z Of free institutions, and which has bee
o held and exercised by every village an

sizes and uncalled-for intermeddling ha
e been to unseGtle the foundations Of GU
'; municipal institutions, to introduce cor
u fusion and uncertainty to an unpara
;, leled degree.
ss6 That the transfer of the Fire D,

Representative of the people was ulterl
- uncalled for by anything in the hlstor
