On the Bth of June, 1332.
V numerous meeting of the citizens of New-
York, convened by notice emanating from a
bout two hundred distinguished and patriotic
worthies, (among whom was the venerable
-Chancellor Kent, and the not less eminent
Republican patriarch Albert Gallatin) at the
Sessions Room, on the evening of the Bth of
June, 1832. The meeting was called to order
by Preserved Fish. James Kent was cho
sen President, and Stephen Allen and Gideon
Lee, Vice Presidents; and Cornelius YV.
Lawrence and John A. Stevens, Secretaries :
The following resolutions were moved by Pe
ter Augustus Jay...were seconded by David B.
Ogden, carried, and then signed by the President.
.Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries.
1. Resolved , That the preservation of the
Union of these States, “ in which are involv
ed our prosperity, felicity, safety,and perhaps
o tr national existence,” is an object of para
mount importance, never to bo endangered
lor particular interests, nor sacrificed to ab
strac opinions.
2. Resolved, That in order to a satisfactory
and equitable settlement of anv of those im
portant questions which at times must vari
ously ufiect States “ differing in situation,
climate, habits, and particular interests,
it is necessary that each should relax on sonic.'
points, and always to recollect that our hap
py Constitution itself w as declared by its au
gust Framers to be “ the result of a spirit of
amity, and a mutual deference and conces
sion, which the peculiarity of’our political
situation renders indispensibie.”
3. Resolved, That an arrangement of the
Tarill question during the present session of
Congress, on such principles as may allay dis
content and restore harmony to the different
sections of the country, is essential for the
preservation of peace ..nd union.
4. Resolved, That this important object
cannot be effected otherwise than by a sincere
mutual deference and concession, evinced bv
great sacrifices of opinion and of interest on
.KJtli sides ; by acquiescence in special pro
tection to certain branches of industry on the
one hand, and on the other by an abandon
ment of exorbitant protecting duties, and of
the most obnoxious and oppressive provisions
of the system.
o. Resolved, Without protending to decide
wh .t amount of revenue is adequate to defray
the expenses and to meet the exigencies of
goverinent, that a reduction of the existing
hides to that extent is essential, under any
modification of the Tariff, to preserve the un
divided confidence of the people in the gen
er il gov. rnment.
<’• Resolved , '1 hat the proceedings of this
meeting, certified by the President, Vicc-
V residents and Secretaries, w ith a copy of the
.notification calling it together, be transmitted
by them to the Senators of this State, an.l
-he Representatives of this city in Congress,
'vith arequ l .4 that the same may he laid be

Mr. J.\\ 8 tf Ctt.
On submitting til'- ; b >ve Jc.i.'Witii ns* Mr. Jav
delivered a speech of which the follnyinN is an
outline:
Peter A. Jay, Esq. and uddi*C3v-|
ed his fellow-citizens, h'e disclaimed
the idea that the meeting had l>ccr. called
together for the purpose of advancing
claims of any party, or the views of an/
political candidate—they were t ailed to
gether for the purpose of expressing the
sentiments of the people on the impor
tance ot the preservation of the Union—
[great applause ] lie had been request
ed to move the resolutions on this subject,
v. hich he would preface by a few remarks,
lie said, that many there assembled, who
were as old as himself, w ere sensible that
lithe various periods in our history at
which the Union of these State? was in
danger, the good sense, the patriotism
and virtue of the people removed that dan
ger. and ne er failed to restore the har
mony of the country ; and w henever any
new danger menaced the Union, or ap
proached the nation. the same qualities!
were .necessary again to be exercised, I
uni would be found equally efficient. Mr.
J. then alluded to the war of the revolu
tion, and particularly to the close of that
war, when public credit was extinct, the
national debt unpaid,. and the different
states forming the confederacy in the
condition of the staves of a cask, w ithout
a hoop to bind them. It was under this
state of public feeling that the present
Constitution was framed. A spirit of
consideration and concession was its base,
ami without that spirit, it never could
have succeeded.
As the country was divided into vari
ous great sections, having different inter
ests and pursuits, so it was necessary that
every great national measure should be
'founded in r spirit of similar concession
and compromise, boon after the Consti
tution wit into operation, its good ef
fects were seen. Credit revived, com
merce w hitened the sea, industry flourish
ed, and the husbandman followed the
plough with the certainty of enjoying the
. .'C'iits di its labor. Such w ere the effects
be up.;-;! of conciliation which formed
'■‘tiiti i. After a y.liilc the

V ’•* ‘ • Uathc
' ' ' • .e confidence
•at ct the band o
r i. ■ was surrounded
it alluded t<> the ismbarg
• .v*U" i ■■■hn acts—the period
Vv- r.f commerce was the pm
of flic bclligerants of Europe. The inde- i
finite suspension of commerce again crea
ted feelings whit li threat, ned the countr
with danger: but fortunately, under the
providence of God, and the good ense
and patriotism of the people, all those
were again avoided. Mr Jay then allu
ded to the Tariff laws passed by Con
gress for the protection of Domestic In
dustry To these laws a strong spirit of
opposition had been awakened in the
Southern States. The Southern people
complained fhat these laws were unjust—
that they were unconstitutional, lie did
not echo, lie only stated their sentiments.
For himself, he believed that these laws
were constitutional; hut whether they
were wisely enforced or not. is not now
the question lie would consider. It was
enough for his present purpose, to say
that the Southern States maintained that
the imposition of duties for the protection
of manufactures, was unconstitutional,
and that in one State opposition to the
I ariff threatened to break out in open re
sistance. He was far from justifying them
in the ground they had thus taken: he
was merely stating farts, in order that
they might be well understood and the
evils provided against which threatened
to result from them. It might he asked,
do you believe this State is in earnest in
its threats ? For a long time he did not
believe it. but now he was sorry to say,
he did believe they were in earnest: in
proof of which they had the speeches of
tiic Southern Representatives in Con
gress— men of great talent and undoubt
ed ability; they had the \ iolcnt harangues
ol the Governor, who was supported by
a majority of the Legislature, and by a
majority ol the People, w ho avowed their
determination not to submit, hut to resist.
He would enter on the consideration of
the question without taking part with the
Southern gentlemen, who in his opinion
are in the wrong. But sjtill the question
recurs, what ought we to do ? Let me
aSk what arc the benefits derived from
i Tariff—what is its object ? To fur
nish goods cheaper than we can buy them
elsewhere? Its professed object is to
promote wealth—it is entirely a*peeunia
ry object. Those well acquainted with
the subject can calculate the gain said to
be derived from it, in pounds, shillings,
and pence. YY hat are the dangers which
threaten us from persisting in an adhe
rence to it ? Civil YV ar and a Dissolu
tion of the Union.
VV e have been so long in the lap of se
curity that we "ere unwilling to arouse
ourselves, though the danger' that threat
ened us might be ever so imminent. It
might lie said the Carolinians arc mad ;
he it so : but it they arc mad, is it not
more probable they wi'l act rashly ? It
might he asked can Cat" Una resist ? In
this view of the subject. letii. be rccollec
teo if. was not a quest:,,-. ,-, putt- jg down
grabble,'hut of conquering a sister state.
.Some said let Carolina go you may per
haps mean to say, let them go in peace ;
hut. suppose they did go in peace. How
long would that peace continue ? The
ware-houses of Charleston would be
fpowded by British goods, and how, 1
would ask. can you prevent them from
oversow ing the other portions of the U
nioVi ? War must come if we separate,
a.nd in such a result can you call upon
tice .militia of Georgia to" plunge their
bayonet into the breasts of their south
ern frienu.'' 1 ■ Are you sure that Alabama
would aid yo' 1 Fan you depend on Mis
sissippi ifsuc i?n event should take place?
How are you to st'.od a despatch to Geor
gia, *if it should beuon? c necessary, or how
unite your roops ? AU' } 0,1 not watch
ed by a power jealous of yv*ur growth
jealous of your competing w ith her in the
arts of peace ; and would not Jhai power
give all her assistance to prevent a re
union ? If that foreign power with? nM
expected to render her aid, would Soißh
Carolina talk of resistance ? 1 have out
this head no positive facts, hut reason
from indications before us. You cannot
let South-Carolina go peaceably without
admitting to Virginia, to Georgia, or to
Massachusetts, the same right to recede
whenever they deem fit to'do so. YY o
know that at various times, in various
parts of the Union, dissentions and dis
union were prevented only by mutual con
cession—without these we would fall a
sundcr like the weak Republics of South
America.
It is with t!ie.greatestdifficulty that all
Europe com prevent Belgium and Holland
from rushing into war, and thus endan
gering the general peace. Would it not
he equally difficult—nay more so ?■—
Would not your dissolution have another
disastrous result—would it not retard the
ioarch of Liberty over all the world ?
W ould not the despot point out to thepa
ti iotand boast of the instability of all Uc
publies (Here the speaker was inter
rupted by reiterated applause and hisses.)
He continued, I am not exaggerating the
dangers—-they arc not imaginary, but
real, and it is best wc should be aware of
them. If there is but a • istant fear, that
a vessel at sea is in peril, you arc willing
to pay for the risk by effecting on her an
insurance—and here where the safety of
the Union is in peril, w ill you not take
measures to insure—will you not pay
some price for the risk ? (Loud applause
mingled with hisses.) Look at the, re
sources you possess, with a population

Jof France, and in a century exceed that

LATE AND IMPORTANT.
At 1 o'clock yesterday, our news schooner
Journal of Commerce came up from the
Britannia, Captain Marsha!!, bringing us
landon papers to May 15th, and Liverpool to
the 10th, both inclusive. They contain in
telligence of the dissolution of the Grey
M.nistry, and the consequent abandonment
of the Reform Bill.
RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.
I" Bio House of Lords, May 9th, Earl
Grc-y rose to present petitions in favor of
Parliamentary Reform, from Doncaster,
Cable, North Shields, Dumfries, and Wigton;
and from the county of Monaghen for" the
aholution of tithes‘in Ireland." The noble
Earl tii n observed, that after what had hap
pen that house on Monday last, in the
coinin'-tcc on the reform bill, and after the
ivs-ilt * 1 that night’s debate, their lordships
w,-re probably prepared for the information
'vhf- , -> :t new became'bis duly to lay before
the hot:.- .
lue -csint of Monday night s division had
reduced ukn to the necessity, in common
with hisco.len/Tucs, cither at once to with
draw from His M.v sty’s serried, or to tender
to His Majesty a-tvio-j which then appeared
justified'by the peculiar circumstances of the
case, with a view to carry into effect the
measure o> reform, or tinally, in the event of
the advice being rejected,‘most respectfully
to tender to His Majesty their resignation of
the offices which they held. The last alter
native, after much consideration, he and his
colleagues had adopted. They offered to
llm Majesty that advice which they thought
the urgency ot the case and circumstances
of the times required, and their advice not
having been accepted, the alternative which
they conceived it their duty to submit to His
Majesty, who was pleased to receive their
resignations; at the same tirn expressing his
thanks for their services during the tune "they
they had held the office in His Majesty’s
Councils, & were honored with his Majesty’s
support. J
f mder these circumstances the stood before
thci. r lordships and the country. Having giv
en in their resignation, and that resignation
being accepted, of course they now only held
<>fcce till their successors should he appoint
ed ; and their hmlships would at or.ce see the
propriety of not proceeding with any public
business in relation to which it was probable
that any contest or of opinion
could arise until anew aam'nistration should
he formed. Such being the case, of course
it was not his intention to propose going into
the committee on the reform bill to-morrow.
London , May 10.—Last night, upon the
■icws of the resignation of Ministers becom
ing known, and the cause of it, the company
at Air. Longstafi s, the Black Bear and
Chester House, in Piccadilly, in whose room
there is a transparency of the King, immedi
ately came to the resolution of taking him
down, and placing him in the window with
his heels upwards, and the True Sun placed
oyer him. The company then drank “The
Kmg, and may he be put right when ho be
comes right again with his people.” The
company stopped till a late hour.—True Sun.
London , May 10.—The awful crisis in
which the British Emprire is now placed,
suggests other duties, even to a journalist,
than that of lengthened dissertation. Every
man without exception of age or calling, aks
iiis neighbor the question, “What is to be
do:-!?”
In both houses of the Legislature, language
ias been used, or proceedings announced
for immediate recommendation to Parliament,
which prove the depth and power of the srnti
• iicnt excited in all hearts by f Tu events of
■lie present wee k.
, Yesterday morning, as we stated in a
corn! edition, His Majesty signified to his
• ucial servants that he accepted the resigna
tions which they had tendered to him on the
previous -Tjid-y* Du', those resignations be.
:ng, as is well known, contingent merely on
the King’s refusal to take, through his Min
isL rs, toe proper sti ps for securing the pas
sage oJ the Reform Bill through Parliament,
he acceptance of the resignations was nothing
more than an gative upon the adoption of
i tie propose ! means, being the only ones
through winch it could by possibility lie ar
oomplished. As ho, therefore, who really
‘ wills the end” must of necessity “ will th‘
means, the conclusion to which every reason
ing mind must come is, in plain English,
that the Sovereign was not earnest in hTsde
s refor reform, —that at least lie preferred tin
supremacy of an anti-reform faction ii the
House of Lords, to the advancement of the
great cause of reform through the accession to
the liberal peerage.
From the Liverpool Chronicle.
The die is cast.— ihe friends of freedom
are no longer in power the Reform Bill
has been abandoned; —and the King has
blighted in a breath those hopes with
which, during eighteen months, lie has
permitted millions of his brave and most
devoted subjects to be deluded ! Yes—with
i/ri. fand dread wo announce the astoundkig
fact, that King who reigned so lately in tffi
hearts of a generous and loyal people, has
deserted their cause at the eleventh hour, and
lost—perhaps . forever—the services of the
most faithful, wise, and honest ministers who
ever counselled a monarch to the height of
ir!°ry, or raised a nation to th< brink of free
,i om. 0 m. Yes.—The fatal truth stands forth
■onfessed. Had his Majesty been as sincere
ly the friend of Reform as he was believed
to be had he been as firm in purpose, or as
decided in mind, as his ministers were, his
voice might this day “ have awed the world !”
He has been prevailed upon to throw himself
into the arms oftotyism, and—
Now lies he there —
TJ tth none so poor to do him reverence,
HOUSE OF COMMONS,
Thursday, May 10.
The avenues leading to the House of Com
mons wore crowded to a i excess surpassing
any thing we ever beheld. We have before
seen equal crowds ofcarriages, as well as of
people; but never were the avenues so crowd
ed, it may be said crammed, and to such an
extent that the constables could with the
greatest difficulty secure the ingress and
egress for the Ironorable members. Both
sides of the passages leading from the mem
bers entrances, into Palace-yard, to the lobby
of the house, were thronged with most re
spectable persons—individuals who evinced
the greatest, and at the same time, the most
orderly anxiety to learn the events of the
evening.
When the gallqjy was onened, the house,
on all sides, was crowded to excess ; the side
galleries, too, u< re full of members.
Lord Ehrington rose to bring forward his
motion for an address to his Majesty on tie
present posture of affairs. This hoftse, he be
lieved. no one could deny, was called on for
some expression of its opinion on recent oir
cumstance s.—(Hear, hear!) He had net far
to look back fora precedent for the mode of
proceeding he meant to adopt. In 181*2. on
the death of Mr. Percivnl, Mr. Stewart Wort-
Icy, now Lord YY liarncliffe, moved an address
to the Regent to form an efficient administra
tion. Upon that occasion, in reference to a
statement that such a motion would interfere
with the royal prerogative, Mr. Canning
said, it should not be had recourse to except
on particular emergencies; the House of
( ommons was a house not only of redress, but
of advice. A
1 hose words (the noble lord had just read
the extract from the speech of Mr. Canning)
fully justified the step he (Lord E.) now
meant to pursue. Iff did not wish to em
barrass the crown in its ehoicc of a minister,
but lest there should exist any doubt of the
sentiments ol the majority of the members of
this house. Strange changes of opinion were
reported to have taken place elsewhere with
respect to this measure ; at all events, he.was
sure it was necessary with a view to public
t ranqnility, and the stability of any future ad
ministration, that thesentimentsof this house
should be publicly, and at once, known.
(Cheers.) The late ministers carried with
thr-m, into their retirement, the consolat'on
of how much they had effected in the great
cause of public liberty—(Cheers.) Iff" hgd
heard reports ol a change of opinion in mem
bers of that house with respect to the reform
hill, but he diil not believe tliTse reports
Still it was necessary, to the tranquility of the
country, and the safety of the crown, that the
sentiments ol that house, at the present crisis,
should he made known (Cheers.) The
nob! • lord then moved the following ad
dress : n
_ “ I htit a liumblo address be presented to
bis Majesty, humbly to represent to his Ma
jesty the deep regret felt by this house at the
change that has been announced in his Ma
jesty’s Councils, by the retirement of those
ministers in whom this house continue to re
pose unabated confidence. That this house,
in his Majesty’s last gracious speech from the
throne, has framed, and sent up to the House
of Lords, a hill for reform in the representa
tion of the people, by which they are con
vinced that the prerogative of the crown, the
authority of both Houses 0 f Parliament, and
the rights and liberties of the people are se
cured.”
The last words he had ventured to intro-’
duee, because they were those made use of
in his Maje sty’s most gracious speech. The
motion proceeded thus:
“ That in the progress of this measure this
house considers itself hound in duty to stati
to his Majesty that his subjects are lookiuu
with the most intense interest and anxiety'
am! they cannot disguise from bis Majrsi’,
their apprehension that any successful attempt
to mutilate, or impair its efficiency, would
be productive of the greatest disappointment
and dismay. That this house is. therefore,
compelled, by warm attachment to his Mnj s
tv s person and Government, humbly, Imt
most earnestly, to implore his Majesty to rail
to liis oiineils such pr rsonsonlv as will err •
into effect, unimpaired in all its essential
provisions, that bill for the reft rm of the re
sr-ntation of the people, which has recently
passed this hou,.\.”
'J im ti-/,,,. !pr i resumed his sent ai. u icy.

with immense cheering: and after soon

the Privy Council.
London, May 15.—Who is there that would
now change places with the Duke of Welling
ton 1
With a hardihood or infatuation, of which
there is no example, he goes on doggedly in
his miserable work of building up a Cabinet
without one sound material,—a Cabinet of
which the first condition is, that every man
who enters it must have his good name be
hind him; — es, let it be written ovi r tin
doorway,—“principle ad reputation are tin
price of admission here.”
'l’iie new Prime Minister knocks at every
house. He heats up for recruits, but none
will take his bounty. He rages through the
auction-mart of trading Tories, and bids for
every lot, however damaged: in no instance
does he come up to the price. There is not
one anti-reform thing, in the market, out ol
which the noble Duka can construct a Cabi
net Minister, for the disreputable purpose to
which lie is charged with endeavoring to
frame a Cabinet lhat does not answer,—if
timid, “von offer me no safety,”—if with a
ri innant of conscience or of decency, you
lead me tp “irretrievable disgrace.” Another
day passed, at such a crisis, and no
Ministry formed.
Mas there, within a century, been any
member ol the political world whose conduct,
in the insatiate thirst of office, has been so
covered with epitm.ts of opprobrium and
contempt as that of the Duke of Wellington ?
And from what quarters do these sentences
of deep condemnation issue? Even from
•non of the most splendid station, and purest
motive, and loftiest spirit, among the aristoc
racy of Great Britain. What was the language
of Lord Ebrington, and of Lord Milton, and
of Lord Russell ? That ihe intriguer against
Lord Crey—the protester against the Reform
jbil on the 20tliof April, when grasping at
office, —the advocate for the same Reform
Bill on the 14th of May, when clinging to
office,—was lost o every sentiment of noble
and disinterested patriotism, was actuated by
no passion but the lust of place. Well might
Lord John Russell apostrophize an Adminis
tration formed under such auspices—“There,
honour cannot enter.”— Times.
London, May 10.—In the House of Peers,
which had been summoned last night to con
tinue the discussion of the Reform Bill under
tne adopted parents, an explanatory state
ment was expected from the Duke of Wel
lington, announcing the composition of Ins
Cabinet, and detailing the principles on which
!t intends to act. A great number of mem
hers attended in consequence, and public
curiosity was rxcit* and both within and with
out the House of Pari ament. His Grace,
however, did not make his appearance • }-*•(
the world is v>.t -in ignorance, whetb, r he
has selected his official assistants from the
Horse Guards or from the Polioca! Unions,
woollier becomes with a gagging bill or a
bill of reform.
But the house was not lof: cnti'vly in ih (
nark on tnc great question of Gov, rume-to or
no Government,—of the return of the late
Min sters or the formation of anew Cabinet.
Lord Carnarvon, who, no doubt, thinks he
has obtained ample revenge for the neglect
ol Lord Grey, and sufficient compensi-tnm
for tne abandonment of his ow-n principles,
bv the success oftiio late Court intrigue, was
employed on this occasion as the fittest organ
to announce the formation ofa new .Ministry.
Accordingly, in moving the order for
the committee on the Reform Bill be now
discharged, and that the committee be ad
joured to Thursday, his Lordship assigned as
a reason for the postponement, that the Minis
terial arrangements, though in progress, wi r
not yet completed. Not a single observation
was made in reply, nor was any question ask
c<l about the progress made in the formation
or the new Cabinet.
The late Ministers and their opponent.-
still occupied their respective branches. As
soon as the Duke of Wellington shall enter
the House with the new list of Ministe rs m
Ins pocket, if that time should ever arrive,
winch we very much doubt, this arrangement
will be changed, and the Bishops, who last
night sat behind Earl Grey and the reform
Cabinet Ministers, will find a more appropri
ate neighborhood for their “militant” disposi
tions in the rear of the Great Captain. Some
of tin Rev. Prelates may be anxious for the
benefit of his protection, as we regret to say
that in their way from the House they were
very roughly treated by the populace, who

Reception of their Majesties in London. —
The Court Circular having announced that
tlirir ]\Jajesti( s would come to town on Satur
day, (May 12th) the popular feeling had an
opportunity of displaying itself, which was
seized with extraordinary avidity. At a
quarter past twelve o'clock, the royal car
riage in which their Majesties were seated,
without attendants, reached the village of
Hounslow, where it was joined by an cscor
of about twenty of the 9th Lancers. The
postillions passed on at a rapid rate till they
entered the town of Brentford, where tin
people, who hod assembled in great numbers.

SUDDEN AND SPONTANEOUS VFFT
live. OF THE REFORMERS OF Mt'
MINGHAM AND VICINITY.
Birmingham, Thursday ' May JO p
scarcely possible to imagine the spirit of ( -!
eiteinerit into which the town of Birmin<d, a , n "
has been throvxn by the rejection of the" ft,,,
form Bill by the l.ords and the resignation.."
of his Majesty’s Ministers. The anti-rc
formers in London may affect to treat tin -
with contempt, but if thev had been present
in Birmingham this c.'ay, v V <- doubt not that
another and a very different feeling would
have prevailed in their minds.
In this town there is hut one feeling, O ao
firm, fixed, determined feeling,—which it is
impossible to suppress. We are morally
certain, that if the Bill be not passed, the poo
pie will not pay taxes. Thus they have ,Ic.
trrmined. Indeed, as early as 11 o’clock
yesterday, the windows exhibit ed a pruned
placard, of which the following is a copy;
“ notice !
“NO TAXES PAht HERE
UNTIL
THE REFORM BILL IS PASSED i
“ May 9.”
In othet windows, and we observed on the
lawn ofa gentleman’s house in the vicinity
of the town, there was exhibited the follow
ing : “No t n s paid here in money, and no
goods bought destined for taxes.”
rhe nnnibi rof fx-opla assembled yester
day aft- r oon at N. whall-hill certainly ex.
cceded 100,U00. Tie space, which occupies
6 acres, was densely filled, and, ; s on Mon
day, the tops of the surrounding hills an !
houses were covered with people. It is really
astonishing how such a number of hums*
beings could have been got together so sud
denly and spontaneously in four hours.
. 6 o'clock, P. M.
he meeting is just fiver, and though for
ttie last two hours the people have been leav
ing the ground, not being able to bear tho
proceedings, vef the numbers now passing
our windows are truly terrifying. All, bow
• ver, is qu; i. The |eople, conscious of
thmr strength, are not alarmed for the Bill.—
Tin y fe l that if.# v can take it at any time
.-IftVuld the Lows r * fuse to grant it them.
