C. Pell as Secretaries. The offi- cers being duly elected, the meeting was addressed by Philip Hone, Chas. W. Sandford, J. W. Edmonds, J. R. Livingston, jr. , J. W. Francis, James W. Webb, Prosper M. Wetmore, and other gentlemen ; whereupon, Wm. H. Maxwell, after some ap- propriate remarks, offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, it is proper and becoming in the Citizens of New York, to unite heartily in those demonstrat...ions of respect and esteem which have been, and will be, everywhere in our land, called forth by the visit of Mr. Dickens to America; not because of his talents alone, but in consideration of the noble use he has made of those talents, in vindicating the righl9 and claims and feelings of humanity at large, without distinction of rank or circumstance. Resolved, That in welcoming Charles Dickens to America, vvc feel that we are at once paying due homage to genius and fulfilling the demands of grati- tude; for, as individuals, we owe gratitude to the minister of intellectual delight, and, as Republicans, we are bound to thank him who has, in his writings, so eloquently maintained the cause of the humble and oppressed ; who exhibits, in every line, hia own keen sensibility to wrong ; and the pervading spirit of all whose works is a touching illustration of the truth, that in the elementary con- stitution of men there is no difference, whatever difference circumstances may have created.
