Etvans in the chair, and Mr. Reuben acon acting as secretary. Mr. Northrup said he desired at the last meet- ing te offer a resolution. He thought that in the selection of candidates they should have been represented in a convention of the wards; but as their friends in the other wards had scen fit to pursue a different course, he would cheerfully submit. Hesopposed that all would go for Mr. Wallach tn preference to Haliday. r.N. had several other resolutions endorsing the course of the Administration fn relation to the slavery ques- tion, and In relation to the education of colored ebildren. Mr. N. then read the following : Whereas we bave found that our desires for the snecess of the Administration in putting down the existing rebellion, and our readiness to adopt any mesures tending to strengthe1 the Govern- ment and the Union, led us last year to place un- due confidence In tbe professions of some who sought our suffrazes, and to accept too easily their assurances of an unwavering and unconditional devotion to the Union: Therefore, Resolved, That as sufficient time has elapsed for a fail development of feelings and views on this subject, we will, at this election, take no saan ‘‘ on trust,”’ and will vote for none who have act given clear and unmistakable evidence, by tbetr sections 2s well ss words, that they are the and steady supportera of the Admin- ion and Government of the United States. Resolved, That the cavils about the prohibition of siavery in this District, where it had no legal existence for years, devolving a duty on Congress to do it, asthe Constitution pives no power to that body or the people to establish or even sustain slavery outside of State Muits, - evinces, we think, a disposition to throw obstacles tn the way of the Administration aud other branches of the Government. Resolved, That the cavils at the President's recommendation respecting slavery in the Sta‘>s, together with a sensitiveness on the subject of confiscation, evinces, we think, an undue and un- safe regard for an institution which is manifestly the cause of the wickedest rebellion the son ever shone upon, jeopardizing our lives, sserificing the iivesof friends, and bringing burdensome taxes on the loyal people of the country, and this after it seems evident to everybody else that slavery has received Its death-blow at the hands of those who, fer ts extension and perpetuation, would, If possible, destroy the best government ifn the world—would ruin because they cannot rule. Resolved, That we kindly suggest to t new converts to the doctrine of the injustice of ing the colored people of this Dictrict for the educa- tion of while children exciustvely, that they. cease their hostility to the education of colored ehlidren, and consent to the application of the school tax paid by the colored people to the edu- eation of colored children. (Our application to the secretary of the meeting for the privilege of copying these resoiutions, or gathering their purport, was denfed with a dis- cou thst might not Imaptly be termed “ba- conian;”* but through tte kindness of Mr. North- rup, their mover, we obtained a copy as above } Mr. G. W. Garrett thought, with due respect to bis friend, that as at the former meeting resolu- tions were adopted sa 4 basis of ain these resolutions were entirely out of place, and there- fore moved to Isy them on the table. Mr. Lycett seconded the motion, saying hedid so for the same reason as given by the mover Mr. Northrup proceeded toexp-ain thatthe res- olations formerly adopted did not cover the ques- tions referred to in those now offered. They nad ween started since that a_i Mr. Bacon said that though he agreed to the sentimenta of the resolutions, he doubted the ex- pediency of adopting them at thistime. At the former meeting resolutions were adopted as a basis,bat they endorsed nocandidate He thought at the firat of acenvention, but the otber Wards bave chosen a different course, and the general expression is in favorof sir. Wallach. The ques- tion of alavery is making way with itself very fast, and is not brought into this contest. Mr Wallsch is undoubtedly to be the next Mayor of Washington, bat If any one doubts bis loyaity let him not vote for him. Mr. Bacon said be bad not endorsed Mr. Wal- lech for Mayor, nor Mr. Semmes for Alderman, bat if it is best, let us nominate and vote for them. Mr. B. also spoke of the various cannidates for Council, endorsing Mr. Murtagh and Mr. Mitch- ell es far as he knew of them Mr. Northrup said the questions referred to in the resolutions were chiefly those rsised In the tirade against the administration because of its management of the slavery subject, and it was his desire to have their sentiments expressed on those subjects. Mr. Ven Vleet approved of the spirit of the res- olations, but would not advocate their pa sage because — had already syteed upon their plat- form (vuich bad b.en adopted at their first meet- ing). He would be scrry to see the resolution re- iating to slavery passed, because it did not state the facts. He went on to argue that slavery had no legal existence in the District. The laws re- lating to slavery at the tline of the cession of the trict to the General Government were those of 715, which provided for holding native Africans and their descendants to two generations staves, out the third generation wasto have been free. Subsequently other laws were made by the Legis- lature of Maryland, looking to a further bondage of slaves, but those laws had no effect 1n the Dis- triet—bence slavery bere was unlawful. Mr. Northrup.—If the resolutions are not per- fect, they can beamended. Mr. Van Vieet continutng, said that he had no objection to Mr. Wallach, and so far as the edu- cational question was concerned, be bearttly en- dorsed him. fle rend the following extract from amessageof Mr Wellach, as expressive of bis views on that sabject: “Happily for the cause of Christianity and civilization, the hand of time has long since swept Into the deep shades of oblivion the whole series of objections which in years past were advanced by the ignorant and inconsiderate. {Against free schools] That grand problem, ‘whether or no the ‘masses’ shal: beedacated, can no longer be considered an open question, or one which will allow of the slightest dispute, wn regard not only to its utility, but.absolute ne- cesstty ”? : The Chair here stated that debate was out of order, and that it bad b en allowed only because the meeting was more of a conversational one. The resoiutions were then laid on table. Mr. Garrett moved that Richard Wallach be declared the choice of the meeting for Mayor; carried. The following was declared the ward ticket: For Aldermau—John H. Semmes. For Common Council—W. J. Murtagh, C. W. Mitchel and Augustus Edson. For Assessor—Peter Hepburn. {This is the same ticket as that nominated by the unconditional Union Club, with the a. tien that Mr. Edson is nominated in place of Mr. Wilson. —Rep.) Mr Garrett moved the appointment of an exec- utive committee; carried. Messrs. G W. Garrett, J. R. S. Van Vieet, — Handley, Augustus Ridgely and Reuben Bacon ‘were appointed. The meeting then adjourded A“ Prive” Muss —Lagt night about 10 o'clock 2 number of soldiers belonging to the 16th In- diana regiment, entered a tobacco store on Penn- sylvania avenue, near Third street, and called for 2 “« plug of tobacco,” throwing down in se ogra 8 20 Treasury note.

They should first endorse them here, and let the convention adopt them. They must tske a stand to support the Constitution, and to have the city charter properly carried cut. Why shouid we be afraid to express our approbation of the democratic address’? As we bave a right to speak, and should not be afraid of Mr. J. R. Queen bed no objection to the dem- ocratic address. They all individually endorsed them, and it was not necessary to adopt them in this meeting. The spirit breai in the address ‘was correct; but he was 0; to mixing up national with municipal affal et us into this fight and whip the republicans and aboli- tionists on their own ground; restore the Consti- tution and strictly carry out the charter of the city Mr. Burgess did not see why they should fear to endorse the address, and hoped bis motion would prevall We had, he supposed, the same rights.as any other people in the Unitod States. Their object was not simply the porrzing out the elty charter; but they a higher duty and work—the restoration of the Constitution to what it was a few months ago. The gag-lew had been applied, but he was op; to having itcrammed down the ;sople’s throats. All freemen must arovse, and if we do not we will be undera monarchical government in this country before two years ‘The motion to adopt the address unanimously prevailed. A moticn was adopted authorizing the Chair to appoint =veece committee of twenty-tive. Adjou i Tur Great PrpestRian Feat —Mr. Ed. P. Weaton, the weil known pedestrian, whose pro- posal to walk from this city to Boston, M + (478 miles) in eight consecutive are: has mide con- siderable talk, entered upon his undertaking on Monday last, leaving the Capitol Building at 5 Pp. m., being thirty minutes beyond bis proposes starting time at 5 p.m. He reached Beltsville j St a quarter before p. m , took supper there, and when seven miles from Baltimore partook of some more refreshments, and arrived at the Eutaw House, Baltimore, at 3 a.m. of Tuesday, precise- ly the schedule time, aoe losing, as already stated, one half hour in the stert. Mr. C. J. Eaton, who accompanied the pedestrian in a car- riage from this city, informsusthat Mr W. made the last ten miles into Baltimore in better time ; than any other portion of the distance, and arrived | in Baltimore perfectly fresh. In fact his pace was so good that Mr. Eaton was compellcd to put bis horses on the trot to keep up with him. At 12 m. yesterday, Mr. Weston reeumed bis task, and considerable interest is felt in the reault of bis ‘‘mevement upon Philadelphia,” as he un- dertakes the remarkable feat of walking the entire distance, one hundred and three miles, via the Conowingo bridge across the Susquehanna, in Ss consecutive hours, including all stops. Paty Orr.—The 16th regiment Indiana volun- teers was paid off yesterday. This was a one year regiment, and their time has just expired. Some of the privates received as high as $75, their pay having been standing for some time. They left a creat deal of their money at the cloth- ing stores of the city, agrest many of them cast- ing off their regimentals and arraying themselves in citizens’ dress. As usual, too, no mean por- tion of their hard earnings found its way to tue money drawers ef lager beer and whisky saloons. Tue pickpockets and thieves were around in ful! force, and two or three of the soldiers had their pockets picked whileat the depot waiting for the train toconvey them homeward. Pickpockets are ‘‘mean cusses” anyhow, but they who would pick the pocket of a soldier, and rob him of his dearly earned pay, must have hearts depraved and rotten to the very core. A First-ctass EstapiisHment.—Thomas J. May, late of the firm of Clagett & Mey. has now on band at his store, 308 Pa. avenue, a very supe- rior stock of foreign and domestic dry goods— silks and satins, cloths, cassimeres and vestings, linens and tlannels—adapted to first-class ay trade. Mourning goods of the best quality, as wellas fancy and plain goods, may be obtained here at all times. Customers seeking first-class s may find them at May’s, at less prices than y pay for inferior goods of more unscrupulous dealers. We advise our lady readers to pay this establishment a call when shopping. Correction —In our notice of the meeting in the Fourth Ward, held on Thursday night last, 8 portion of the third resolution (offered by Mr. Edmonston) was unintentionally omitted. it spould have read— ‘Resolecd, That, in affirming our devotion to the Union, as against the disorganizing and rev- olutionary doctrines of disunion{ats, we deem it no less our duty to express our abhorrence of the ually disorganizing and revolutionary princi- ples of abolitionisis,” &c.,&c., making the ap- plication to disunijonist s froin every section.
