This Board met last evening—President H. W. Genct in the chair. Alderman Frear offered the following: — Congress of the United States have deciined to submit fo of the United States the peace propo- sitions agreed uy the Peace Oonference; ina jent the ‘and not she bullet is the popul ‘of adjusting dispured tn politics or in consitt faw; And whores, this great deeply interesied in ence and the preservation of the repub; foro, Resolved, That a commission, consisting of five tore bunsed by ‘the Maron the Presideat of tue Board Aldermen and the President’ of the Board of whose duty it shail be to go to Albany to latufe an earnest but humble petition, of the Corporation and g Ne » that ihe propositions of the Pesce Congress be forthwith referred to the of the State to decide in favor of accepting or rejecting them, Alderman Dayton streauously opposed the resolution, and thought that the Common @ouneil of New York bad quite enough to do in attending to its local legislation. Alderman Fxomxyr said that he thought there could be no harm in adopting the resolution; it was evident that there was @ change in the sentiments of the republican party, from the fact that Gresley and Seward, who work- od together to elect Mr. Lincoln, are now each endeavor- ing to force him into an opposite course. Alderman Cornet. spoke in favor of the resolution, Alderman Brapy eaid he yoted for Mr. Lincoln, yet he saw no barm in paseing the resolution, He (Ald. B. would not go for either Greeley or Seward; they saw Grecley every day traducea both Soward and Weed; he belioved Greeley to be the biggest fanatic in the country. (Laughter and applause in the lobby, which was promptly checked by the President.) Greeley went in for fight, but he (Ald. B.) wouldask, would Grecley shoulder a mus: ket and Gght? No; he would not. He (Ald. B.) believed Weed and Wendell Phillips, and Bennett, also, to be fana- ties, and he did not care for them or ‘any other news. paper.’ Tle thought if the resolutions before the Board would bring back the country to its former state without bloodshed they should be adopted. When civil war would come he should like to see any of those fa- natics shoulder a musket. It was a different thin for them to wield the pen quietly at their desks of resisting the bullet. if it came to war they would stand in the background and let others the battle, It would be a hard thing to see the North fighting against the South, and he never would be induced to join in the fight againet the South, oither by Greeley, or Seward, or Buchanan. He thought the #tate of New York loyal to the Union despite of these fanatics. Alderman Boos: eaid that if they had five hours’ de- date on this subject a single vote would not be changed, and he therefore, in order tosave time, moved tho previ. ous question. Mis was carried and the resolutions poe by a vote of 14 to 8. They were sent to the Coun- cil 'd for concurrence. ‘THY BULLS NOW BRYORE THE LRGISLATURR.
