Tho resolution was unsolicited by The Times.- No one- connected with this paper knew anything about it until it was introduced. The resolution in question was carried with but one dissenting voice, and the gcutlcman voting in the negative had good reasons for doing so. This vote sluws how near it came to bciiigtabled. The resolution said nothing at all about 'the heroic courage and gentlemanly couduet" of the editor of this paper. The following communication speaks for il self: - ' Salt Lakh. May IS.
