Macine. to Elect District of Columbia elegates—A Stormy Time. Pursuant to published call inviting all the qualified voters of the District of Columbia “who desire the unconditional maintenance of the Union, the supremacy of the Constitution, and the ccmplete suppression of the rebellion, with the cause thereof, by vigorous war and all apt and efficient means,” to met in mass convention to elect delegates to represent the District of Columbia in the Baltimore Conven- tion, & large gathering assembled at the Union League rooms, on Street, and at eight o'clock were called to order by J. J. Coombs, President of the Republican Association. Mr.Coombs made a few app¥opriate remarks, wherein he claimed that this was a meeting of more vital importance than any in which the Republican party had ever been heretofore engaged, for vpon the result of the Baltimore Convention depended the salvation of the coun- try. ‘The‘opposition would not restore the Union if they were in rer, as it was no part of their programme. The boldest men of that party have thrown off all disguise, and adyo- cate an immediate recognition of the Southern Confederacy. The more timid feel none the less, but Iack the audacity to proclaim their opinions. We need not flatter ourselves with the idea that the Union will still go on, no matter what party might be in power. The struggle was one whether the Union should continue to exist or whether it should be blotted from the map of the world. The speaker further argued that the Union, if re-established, would be re-established on the principles of right ard justice to all men; and while some differed as to the method of suppressing the rekellion, no Union man doubted but that slavery must godown. [Ap- plause.] Thatend would be reached by the inevitable logic of events. Itis no more pos- sible to save slavery and havea poret Union, than it would be to have such a Union under a constitution acknowledging the right of seces- sion. He who fights the rebels, fights to put down the cause of the rebellion, slavery. [Applause.] Of our nitimate success there can be no doobt, if we keep the power of the coun- try in faithful hands—especially in the same hands tbat have controlled it the past four years. (Immense applause. The speaker did not doubt but that there were men equally competent as our present Chief Magistrate to pilot us through, yet he did not believe the same success would attend the efforts of others. [Applause.] Justice and patriotism demands the renomination of Abra- bam Lincoln. [Great applause.} Under his wise administration, success was a certainty, (applause, } but if we permit the political power to go into the hands of the enemies of the country, then a long farewell to all our great- neces. If we are true to ourselves, we shall not fail either at the ballot box or in the field. The mass of the people are right, and will not be seduced by the wiles of the copperheads. Mr. Coombs closed by claiming that our lines were extending, and that oureventual truimph ‘was a forgone conclusion. As soon as the speech was ended Mr. A.C. Richards offered the following. resolutions : Resolved, That this mass convention of the loyal voters of this District hereby expresses its full and unabated confidence in the ability and in‘egrity of Abraham Lincoln, and that we endorse his official acts, including his appro- val of the billabolishing slavery in this Dis- trict, ard his emancipation proclamation, as dictated by justice, sound policy, and sagacious statesmanship. Resolved, That our delegates who shall be elected to attend the Baltimore convention which is to assemble in that city on the 7th of June next, to nominate candidates for the offi- ces of President and Vice President of the United States, be and they are hereby instruct- ed to cast their votes, for the first-uamed offize, in favor of Abraham Lincoln, and tft we hereby enjoin upon eaid delegates to use their influence and best endeayors to secure his re- nomination. The resolutions were received with much ap- pleuse. Mi. J. R. Elvans said he proposed to amend the resolutions, by striking out all of the second and inserting the following: ‘Whereas, We consider it important in this day of our country’s trial and danger that all Joyal citizens of the republic shall act in coc- cert and with harmony, aiding patriotically in erushing rebellion, treason, and slavery; And, whereas, we deem it the duty of all lovers of country to strive to allay, rather than to excite personal tee’ings or prejudices for or against any so-called rival aspirants for Pres- idential honors; ~ And, whereas, among the members of this convention are many differences of opinion and expression as to candidates for the next Presi- cency, as between General Butler, General Banks, Hon. S. P. Chase, General Fremont, and President Lincoln; And, whereas, we recognize the rights of equally loyal men to use all honorable means to secure the nomination and election of the man of their choice, and to secure in conven- tion the greatest number of delegates sympa- thizing with their own views; therefore, Resolved by this Convention of the loyal men of the Disirict of Columbia, That in the choice of delegates to the nominating convention, to be held at Baltimore, June 7, 1861, it is proper to prescribe no pledge on the part of such dele- gates tosupportany particular candidate for the Presidency, but that said delegates be left entirely untrammelied in their action by this convention. Resolved further, That this con vention pledges itself, and all its individual members pledge themselves, to support and sustain the nomi- nee of the National Republican Union Con- vention, to be held in Baltimore on the 7th of June next, who may receive a majority of all the vetes cast, surrendering individual prefer- ences thereafter, and abiding faithfully and zealously in the hope of acrushing defeat of Copperheadism by unity of action. Mr. N. D. Larner moved to lay the substitute of Mr. Elvans on the table, and asked for a rising vcte upon the question, for he wanted to see the men who were opposed to this Ad- ministration show themselves. (Applause.} The gentleman offering the substitute had been stabbing at Mr. Lincoln at all the meetings of the Republican Association. Cries of “order,” “order,” and Mr. El- vans and others desired to know how the gen- tleman knew that fact. Mr. Larner said he had read the reports of the meetings. When the substitute was offered there was rome clapping in one little corner, but when the resolution in favor of Mr. Lin- coln were introduced, then was silence in that corner, but applause everywhere else in the foom, He moved to lay the substitute en the table. Cries of “question,” “question,” and much confusion, during which Mr. Elvans en- deavored to be heard, and said he recognized the gentleman (Mr. Larner) as an equally loyal man as himself, and he endorsed Mr. Richards, but he was opposed to the first resolution, because he desired to leave the delegates un- trammelled as to their action. He did hope that Mr. Larner would withdraw the motion to lay upon the table, and allow a free discus- sion to ensue. The chair said it was not parliamentary to lay the amendment only on the table, for that would carry with it in the same action the en- tire subject. The decision of the chair was dissented trom in many parts ofthe hall, and confusion be- came “worse confounded.” of the Government in a man- ner satisfactory to all Union men, (applause;; and as he had had a hard time of it he ought to have the honor of being President while the ecite (Mr. E.) ‘itimore war lasts. [Renewed lause wanted the! ates to ‘Applause. r. E.) been lly by the tration, but he did not blame Mr. Lincoln, and he believed Mr. Lincoln always desired to do right. [Great eee ce appearan nomination of Mr, coin is a foregone conclusion; but he though: it good licy to act generously towards the thousands of men who were not enthusiastic in favor of Mr. Lincoln. Pennsylvania and other States required careful management, and it pata hs judicious ed any act eet those who have preferences other can . Lincoln was his first, and he (Mr. M.) spoke only for the sake of expedienc: Mr. T. O. Connolly followed in some forcible remarks.

We who have ob- served him throngh daysand years many of us believe thatthe Lord God Omnipotent has placed him here to lead us out of our present difficulties. [Great applanse.} Let us yote fairly and squarely, and in solid front, in- structing the delegates to vote first, last, and all the time, for Abraham Lincoln; but with one qualification, that they submit in good faith to the decision of the Convention. [Ap- lause. , Mr. ‘Hastis (excitedly ).—Let Fremont or any other dare to split from the Baltimore Oonven- tion, and they wil! split themselves to the dey- il! [Laughter and applause.] Mr. D-R. Goodloe.—There seems to be a good Geal of misunderstanding and misapprehen- sion, Why fly intoa passion and drive men out of the party? Let us conduct ourselves peaceably. There is no use in quarreling, Voicd@—Oh, we are not quarreling. _ Mr. Clephane.—I hope the main question will now be pat. Mr. J. S. wn.— The previous question ‘was not seconded when debate commenced, and therefore debate is in order. Judge G. E H. Day.—This audience is-tao intelligent to, attempt to choke off debate by ie prexieos question, Let us have a fair ent: : Mr. Brown.—Ob, no! No fighting here! ~ Mr. Day intimated that the fighting he haa in view was of the Pickwickiar order.~ This is not Old Tammany Hall, or Mozart Hall, where people come up with fists and go out ‘with bloody noses. Let nobody be choked eff because he doesn’t happen to agree with the majority here, which appears to be pretty large. Considerable confusion followed, and the question was finally divided so that the yote could be taken first upon the first resolution of’ the two offered by Mr. Richards, and the res- olution was carried unanimously. Mr. Lewis Clephane said he had a word to say in regard to what had been said here to- night. [Cries of « order” and “ question;” and after much confusion order was again restored by the Chair, and Mr. Clephane continued his remarks.] He said-no one here would suppose he was unfriendly to this Administration. [Ap- plause.} But he was curprised—no, he was not eurprised, for “the world moves’—that there were men here who would stugmatize members of the Republican Association as en- emies of Mr. Lincoln. But that assertion had come from & party who had worked for and used his influence for a man who was now with the rebels. [Applause, and cries of «that’s 8o.”] He (Mr. C.) had always been opposed to instructing delegates to a convention, and es- pecially as this District had no vote on the question of the election of a President. He had the honor to be & delegate to the first Republi« can convention. The District was allowed a vote upon the ground that the delegates frem here would not give a casting vote, but would fall in with the majority. He (Mr. ©.) wasa friend of Mr. Lincoln, {applause,} and had done 8s much as any man to secure his elec- tion; but he would vote for the substitute in order to leave the delegates untrammelied, and he did not believe any delegate could be electad who would not feel called upon to vote for Mr. Lincoln first. [Applause.} Another confused time here ensued, and calls of “Mr. President” were heard trom all parts of the ball; and after many raps and calls to order, the Chair finally recognized Mr. Jas. A. Wise.] Mr. Wise, having first pulled off his over- coat and remarked, ‘Let me get at them;” «I1] give them something,” proceeded to say he had had the honcr of representing the District of Columbia in the Chicago Convention. [Langh- ter.) In that convention he also had the honor of being @ member of the committee on creden- als, and he believed it wag necessary for him here to give @ history of the proceedings of that committee. The question arose as to the ad- mission of Kansas and other territories, and as Kansas would have been a State before that but for her devotion to freedom, {applause,] her delegates were admitted. The District of Co- lumbia then got up and made these remarks > Mr. Wise, who held a dog’s-eared pamphlet in bis hand that looxed as if it had done pro- tracted service, here commenced to read na that document what is believed to have been a speech alleged to have been delivered by him in the Chicago Convention. Gries of “Dry up! “Cut it short ay you do your hay!” (Mr. W. deals in cut hay.) “Get gown!” “Put him ont!" Mr. Wise, (on a bench and flourishing his speech as if it were a broadsword)—You can’t put me down. The Chair—What has all this to do with the question before the house ? - Mr. Wise, (with a vindictive stab in the air, chair ward, with his speech.)—It has a great deal todo with it! These men went for Bell and Everett. When Abraham Lincoln was nominated the Republican Association had but 27 members, but after the tall elections the Bell and Everett men came down to the wig- wam in such droves as to completely swamp the Original Jacobs. [Great langhter. Cries of ‘‘Question!’ « Question! «Get down Wise!’ Go it feed-man!” Wise, (probing the air in various directions with his manuscript.)—I won't be put down. Mr. W. proceeded again to read from his Chi- cago speech. rT. J. R. Elvans.—I call the speaker to order or to speak tothe question. His present re- marks only afford amusement to copperheads. The Chair.—The remarks ot the speaker (Wise) are altogether foreign to the question. Mr. Wise, (helding his manuscript at ease.)— Now I'll speaktotheamendment. I’min favor ofit. The delegates are going to this conven- tion the same as to Chicago— Voice.—Oh, d—n Chicago. Why in thunder didn’t you stay there! Wise.— At Chicago— “Question!” “Question!” Wise.—At Chicago— syuestion “Get down!’ “Turn him out! ‘Wise.—That man over there (jabbing his man- uscript furiously in the direction of Mr. N. D. Larner,) that man, who is now somuchin favor of Lincoln, woula, four years ago, havecut the throat of any man who advocated the abolition of slavery here. [Cries of «that’s so!”] Iam ro latter day saint. Itdon’tcostanything now to_bea Republican, especially if a man isin office. pomnenter and applause.] Mr. Wise continued by saying that he was ore of those who had borne the heat of the battle four years ago, when the Republicans Here were like the twelve posts in ancient days, wandering about and liable at any mo- ment to be hauled up before King iP! Laughter, cries of “order,” “question,” raps yy the Chair, &c. Mr. Wise, (to chair.)—If you are chairman by 4 @ont you keep order? ‘The Chair reminded the gentleman that he had been called toorder many times and re- fused to obey the call. 3 Another stormy time followed, Mr. Wise and manuscript impending, and the previous ques- tion upon the amendment of Mr. Elvans was persistently called for. Mr. er moved to adjourn till Tuesday next at the City Hall. (Much confasion. Cries of “nono.” «None of that City Hall business for us.” “The City Hall crowd can’t blind us.”) After a great deal of difficulty, the chair suc- ceeded in taking the vote on the adjournment. and declared the motion lost. A motion was made that tellers be appointed to take the vote, which was carried. Father Beeson desired to know if it was only members of the ablican Association who were to be allowed to vote. The chair said no, but all qualified voters who were Union men. Messrs. J. P. Hilton and A. C. Richards were appointed. ‘The vote was announced as 96 in favor of the amendment and 100 against it, and it waa there- fore declared to be lost. « Mr. Richards resolutions were then adopted with but few dissen voices, and the an- nouncement was received with much applause. Mr. Deeble moved that the meeting prdceed to the election of delegates Mr. Clephane said he had another short reso- MMeseleed, Thai wa tegard slavery anthe we slavery as sole cause of the rebellion and that its extermina- i rsinkoas ensure & lasting peace and a perpetual m The resolution was adopted almost unani- ‘Deedie’s motion to proceed to the election fominacions were made, ¥ ne ations were L.

J. K. Baker 8 Mr. Ciephane).—You would not have raised that objection two years ago! I was in your secret councils then, and knew all about it. Messrs. Hilton and Connelty intimated their purpose to withdraw from their positions as tellers, but atterwards withdrew their decli- nations and a guard was placed to keep the crowd back and ensure fairness of voting, the voters being allowed only to come up singly. The votes were counted And announced as follows: : W. P, Wood, 96; A. O. Richards, 82; J. R. El- vans, 57; L. Clephane, 39, J _F. Hodson, 29, W, Dixen, 31; J. J. Combs, 17; D. R. Goodloe, 11; E. E-H.

The chair announced that 392 votes had beén polled and as no genuleman had received a mas jority of sll the votes cast there was no elec- Non. Much confusion ensued, and many pers@ns present claimed that it had been decided that w plurality vote should designate the delegates. The Chair dia not so understand it. Mr. Elwood—I appeal from the chair to the newspaper reporters. The Chair—I will not be governed by the de- cision of all the reporters in the room! 4 motion was made to adjourn, and it was decided by the ehair to have been carried. Ancther commotion, amid assertions that the chair had made an arbitrary and wrong decision. The chair insisted that his decision was correct and was abont todeclare the meet- ing adjourned when Mr. A. J. K. Baker de- manded to know whether the chair presumed to dictate to the majority of the meeting which had not voted for an adjournment. ‘ Mr. Deeble, (to Mr. Baker.)—You are insult- ing *he Chair, Mr. Beker, (to Mr. Deeble )—You are a liar! The chair believed he was right and there- fore declared the meeting adjourned, and he left his seat. : Then ensued another scene of confusion and excitement. A. J.K. Baker mounted a bench and urged that & meeting be called at once, and that delegates be elected, (cheers.) Calls were made tor Mr. Richards, and he made an ap- peal to the persons present to abide by the de. cision of the chair and adjourn peaceably. He thanked these who voted for him, and did not think the ebair would do wrong intentionally. Mr. Baker and others insisted that it was proper that a meeting should be called at pace, 8s a consultation was desired with Messrs. Richards and Wood. : The Janitor of the hall, however, proceeded to put out the lights, and the crowd then re- luctantly departed; to meet again upon next Friday night. 4 AMUSEMENTS.
