At R nnmeyouf and respectable meet- | j ing of republicans ( f the town ci New j ark, at Pierson's Hotel, on the evening j jof Friday the 24th inst. to take into i consideration the situation and treat ment of Mr. Sellick Osborn, a worthy fellow citizen, and editor of the Wit lies'-, confined in Litchfield county jail, and to adopt snob measures respecting the same, as the patriotism and the discretion of this meeting should deem expedient— Judge Penninwhn was chosen chairman, and IV. , Puttie, clerk. The proceedings of the inhabitants of ! Litchfield, in the state of Connecticut, i relative to'the treatment of Mr. Qsborn being read, and the circumstances res-, 1 pectlng the same being explained, the following resolutions were adopted : Whereas this meeting,feeling an anx- I ions solicitude for the preservation pf the inestimable right of civil liberty, as well in the state of which they are ! members, as all the states connected by I the ties of the federal Constitution, I learn with grief, that this right hath grossly violated in the person of I Sellick Osborn, of Litchfield, hi the state jof Connecticut ; that as members of the i same American family with our bre- ■ i tbren of Connecticut, we feel it our dv- j ty to admonish all those who have aid- i > ed In this wicked and outrageous trans- j i action, by our opinions, and sentiments | Cling the same ; and also to testi- { Ify our abhorrence and detestation of [ ! every attempt to deprive a citizen of a ' right, derived from the Beneficent Au th •■• of his existence, and which is in herent in the constitution df every free rnroent. 1. Resslved, That this meeting will i not undertake to give any opinion on I the judgement and order of the count/ < court of Litchfield, as to the original confinement of Sellick Osborn ; but lly refraining from intermeddling with the judiciary proceedings ot a neighboring state, il will presume that the judgement am! order of that court was duly made in conformity to the laws ot Connecticut-—That by the said jo im.
