 | | But notwithstanding this, it is with great satisfaction, that I find the Ayuntamiento co-operating by the weight of its authority and influence, in a measure which might be construed by the designing, or the everscrupulous, into an act of oppression, or as being too strong for mistaken ideas of liberty. |
 | | I have therefore to assure that corporation, that the removal of Peter Whetstone, Trammel Pryor, John or Jack House, and Brooks Williams, which is recommended by it, shall be immediately ordered; and that the course will be adopted which is indicated, with respect to the other individuals named in said resolutions. |
 | | I embrace this opportunity to present to that illustrious corporation the assurances of my consideration and respect; and of my hearty co-operation in all measures which are calculated to promote the public good, and to inforce the laws. |
