Resolved, Tit at tiiis is in n<>sense a politicalqm si ion, and ought not ..i fu v wav to be treat-ed v.s .t eh by tiie I re-s of the Jsfare ; but rathera question of public policy : whether Slateinterference at the pt-isrnl time mav not onlvavet t threatened calain ties of the most alarmingcharacter, tint secure to tlie si.-ne a speedv re-action from the j .< sent depression, and thnsin-
