call 1--WE omit the preamble) for meet
ing of citizens to deliberate on the de-
cision of Judge HUGHES in the case
of Parsons rs. Marye was addressed

We, the undersigned, respectfully
urge and request that you will call
meeting of the tax and license-payers

cannot be done without entailing great
loss upon the State and making the
State debt again an issue in politics.

The Committee on Resolutions r,
ported the following:
Whereas the principle involved in Ii
recent decision Of the United State
Circuit Court for the Eastern distri,
Of Virginia in the case of Parsons c,
Auditor Marye, &C., is, as jude
Hughes declared in his opinion,
"sweeping Importance to the State,
manifestly tending to embarrass il
finances and seriously interfere wit
the administration of its affairs by IL
tercepting its revenues and preventin
their application as prescribed by la
TO the education of its children, tn
support Of the deaf and dumb, ii
blind and insane, and the payment
its officers-executive, legislative, an
judicial-and thus in every depsrtmer
lettering its hands and interfering wit
the prompt execution Of the laws d,
signed to promote the general veal an
public good;
And whereas this and other decision
Of like character and import hay
created in the minds Of the people 4

conviction, that outside Of the bono
holders, whose money was invested i
the bonds Of the State at or near thei
face value, spectators are BY concerto
