And, whereas, IL is notorious, as well as scan
daiuuS, that, ut the present time, and for some
years past, the Treasury of this city is, and has
been, managed in direct violation Of this whole
some and necessary safeguard o. the Constitu-
ton and, whereas, seen Illegal management
oil the Treasury OF the city not only has rds the
safety of the public money, but the struggle
for the privilege of manipulating such moneys
in the interest of banks and individuals, is the
prolific sourch OF much OF the disorder and
corruption which degrades our city elections,
therefore be it
Resolred, That the Republicans Of the city OF

form of principles adopted by the National Re
publican Convention OF 1855, which assembled

terests OF the whole country, are seated in the
offices of President and ce-President of the

Resolrcd, That the financial interests of the
city, as well as the cause of reform in munici-
pal POLITICS, demand an immediate and absolute
enforcement OF the funds which should be in
the City Treasury from a use or control by any
bank or private individual, and that such funds
be kept as the county funds are kent, in such
