Resolved by the City Council of the City of , That the high-minded and honorable Editor of the New York Weekly Herald—, Esq., is deserving of the lasting gratitude of this community for his very liberal and unprejudiced course towards us as a people in giving us a fair hearing in his paper—thus enabling us to reach the ears of a portion of the community who, otherwise, would ever have remained ignorant of our principles and practices.
