Rebels not to Return to Wa: olutio: by Pursuant to a call puplished in the city pa- pers and signed by a large number of the prom- inent citizens of Washington, a very enthasi- astic meeting was held last evening in front of the City Hall for the purpose ef taking action with respect to return ef secesh citizens who have been in the Sonth closely identified with the rebellion since the commencement of the war. The attendance was yery large. The en- tire front of the City Hall, with the exception of portions of the street which had become un- suitable for standing upon from the rain, was densely crowded. Tho design in gas jets, forming in immense characters the word “Union,” in tront of the columns, was lighted, illuminating the entire assemblage as well as could bave been desired mm any public hall. The fine band of Finley Hospital, which ac- companied the Seventh Ward delegation, was in attendance and added much io the spirit of the occasion. ‘The meeting was celled to order by Mr. John R. Elvans, who nominated Mr. John Wilson president. Mr. Wilsoi said that he had spent the great- est part of his life among the citizens of Wash- ton, and he would say to them that he expect- ed that the proceedings of this meeting would be characterized with that order, that decorum, that regard tor law and the dignity of the capi- tal of this great nation that has always distin- guished the loyal citizens of Washington. Our country has passed through the most painful affliction that has ever yet assailed auy nation on the faee of the earth; butthe patriot- ism, the loyalty, the love of liberty of the loyal eitizens of this great country have at length triumphed, thanks be to the assistance of the God of battles, the wisdom of our rulers and the valor of our Officers and soldiers. [Ap- plause j And whilst I and all of us see the symbols of woe spread broadcas! over our country, not only for the loss of our great and beloved Pres- ident, but for the loss of the many heroes who have freely shed their life-blood in sustaining the Constitution and the laws; whilst we hear the widow’s cry and the orphan’s moan from one end of our country to the other; whilst we see throughout the land those who have lost their limbs in the defence of our country, and those who are gradually sinking to the grave in consequence of the efforts they haye made in the great and holy cause which has finally terminated in the assertien and perpetuation of civil liberty throughout all generations, we feel and must feel the strongest sentiments of our hearts aroused against those who have been the authors of these manifold woes. When we see this culminating in the most das- tardly and most cowardly and most villainous murder that haseyer disgraced any man, in the assassination of our beloved President; when we remember the eighty thousand of our fellow-citizens who starved to death in South- ern dungeons, we cannot repress the feelings of our hearts towards the anthors; but, my friends, let us remember thatthe virtue, the patriotism, and the love of order that haye enabled the loyal citizens of this great country to crush out this infamous rebellion must stiil guide us; and whilst wé must appeal to law and order, we must look to the constituted au- thorities, who, thank Heaven, have both the ability and the will to right the evil which seems to threaten us. [Applause.] Let us, then, whilst we freely, as independent citizens of this great Republic, express our sentiments, repose confidence where it can be safely placed—in the hands of the constituted au- thorities—and let us do ne overt act ourselves, but leave that to those authcrities who have £0 wisely and so safely guarded this great Ship of State through the awful storm out of which we have just passed, thank God, safely into port. [Applause ] During the introductory remarks of Mr. Wilsen, Joseph F. Brown, president of the Board of Aldermen, arrived, and became pres- ident ez ‘officio, stating, &s he assumed the po- sition, that he was acting for Mayor Wallach by his request, and stood there as his repre- sentative, the Mayor being sick, in conse- quence of the fatigue that he had undergone in erences the President’s remains to Spring- eld. The following gentlemen were then appoint- ed as the other officers of the meeting: Vice Presidente—Asbury Lloyd, G. H. Plant, S. E. Douglass, Nathan Sargent, J. B Brown, J.P. Hilton, Z.O. Rebbins, J. A Magruder, De Vere Barr, N. D. Larner, B. B. French, John H. Semmes, F. R. Dorsett, John H. Jonnson, -W. J. Murtagh, Riley A. Shinn, Dr. Nichols. ‘Wm. Dixon, G. 8. Noyes, F. A.

The following committee on resolutions was appointed, and, having retired for some ten Minutes, returned and preserted the annexed preamble and resolutions, which were read to the meeting by the chairman of the committee, Wm. A. Cook, who was interrupted by tre- quent bursts af applause: Committee on Resolutions—W. A Cook, J. W. Deeble, Z. D. Gilman, R. B. Clark, Lewis Clepnane, Asbury Lloyd, Dr. S. A. H. McKim, W.H. Tenney, J. R. Elvans, Z. Richards. RESOLUTION! Whereas in eighteen hundred and sixty-one, & rebellion long contempiated was commenced for the ayowed purpose of ‘destroying our R public and creating a Government based upon radically different, revolutionary and monarchical principles;” and whereas, those who organized and who haye controlled that rebellion have endeayored to accomplish its execrable designs, not only by “the ordinary means of civilized wartare,”’ but by the com- mission of every crime which has been pro- hibited by an enlightened and elevated human- ity, and which has distinguished the ferocity and degradation of barbarism; and whereas, entirely approving of its purpose, a consider- able number of the citizens of this District, at its inception and garng its pregress. yolun- tarily abandoned their residences and entered into its “military or civil service,” and until the recent overthrow and surrender of its armies, were perpetrators, active agents, sup- porters, or eulogists of its atrocious crimes; and whereas some of these persons haye already returned to the District, while others propose doing 60, and have been, and will be, cordially received and sustained by nota few, who, without forsaking their residences, have fecretly or openly sanctioned the utterances or deeds of their more courageous associates and kindred; and whereas these facts demand and justify an expression of tne opinions and de- terminations of the residents of the District, who have persistently endeavored to sustain the Government and resist the object of the rebellie: Therefore, Resolved, That it is the sacred and inalien- able right of individuals, whether in a state of nature or of organized society, to protect them- selves against every form of physical and moraslevil. To neglect to do so is of itself a crime. We cannot, therefore, do otherwise than earnestly and energetically resist the set- tlement among us of those who have during the last four years been directly connected with the rebellion, and especially of that part of them who were formerly residents of the Dis- trict. For this class there cannot eyen be set up theshallow plea of State allegiance; and thus wholly destitute as they are, of any palli- ation or excuse for their conduct, they should not be allowed to disgrace or contaminate the capital of the nation by their presence. Here, at least, they shonld receive neither smiles nor protection; and if allowed to evade the jast penalty of their crimes, they should be re- quired to breathe out the miserable existence of bafiled traitors on some less hallowed spot. Resolved, That we most cordially approve of the opinion of Attorney General Speed, of the 22d ult-, relative to ‘the effect of the capitula. tion made between Generals Grant and Lee.” It contains these, among other importaat points, vig: First. That the rebel officers in- cluded in the surrender to Gen. Grant have no homes within the loyal States, and have no right to come to places which were their homes prior to their going into rebellion;” and, sec- ondiy, “That persons in the civil service of the rebellion, or who had otherwise given it support, comfort and aid, and were residents et the rebel territory, certainly have no right to return to Washington under that stipu- lation.” It therefore accords with our ma- tured views, and we willuot hesitate to put forth every effort which may be required to give to render it efficient, and to sustain its able and distinguished author, and our ener. getic and patriotic Secretary of War in the positions which they have assumed and pro- maigated. Resolved, That while we would carefully avoid ungrounded suspicions and unjust crim- inations, we cannot doubt that combinations or associations have existed in this community to further the objects of the rebeliion. These we believe have not been wholly abandoned. And with the ardor whith arises from sim. larity of feelings and principles the persons composing these associations have and will encourage the return among us of traitorous men and women, with whem they have all along sympathized, and to whom in various ‘ways they have furnished materal aid, and conveyed important intelligence. Artfal and cautious, however, as they have been, or may be, they have not entirely avoided discovery, mor can they escape full detection. Their” crimes cannet gO unrevealed, and we will in- ist that they shall be regularly indicted and tried for misprison of treason, if not for trea- son, unless they remove to more congenial re- gions And in doing this, we cannot forget that it was not by public and avowed agents of the rebeliion, but by its secret and resident miscreants, that the late President was basely assassinated and a dastardly attempt made to murder the Secretary of State and members of his family. It would be censurable indiffer- ence to be unmindful of the lesson thus tanght us. Kesolved, That while we are fully and unal- terably determined to prevent traitors, their abettors and sympathizers, from acquiring or retaining residences in our midst, we recom- mend and urge the utmost prudence and de- liberation in the adoption of means to effect our purpose. Rashness and precipitancy of action should be avoided. he impulse of passion should be restrained and controlled, seas to give greatest possible efficacy to the dictates of calm and enlightened judgment. And in whatever we do we should endeavor to secure the approval and co-operation of the National Government; and we therefore re- quest the president of this meeting to appoint & committee of two from each ward of Wash- ington and Georgetown, and from the county, to present its proceedings to the proper au- thorities, and to consult with them in relation to the most fea-ible plans of action. By thus moving in harmony with the authorities, we cannot fail in our undertaking. Resolved, That we approve of the resolutions introduced into the Common Council of this city relative to “the return of discharged rebel soldiers,’ and we are surprised that members of tbat body should declare that those resolutions do not express the sentiments of the people of Washington, The pvople, in the exercise of the elective franchise in June next, can and we trust will respond in a becoming manner tothis utterance. Inthe meantime we call upon all the municipal authorities of the District for such co-operative action with the general Goy- ernment and the committee to be appointed b: the president of this meeting as will most ef- fectually exclude all who have been active or disguised rebels from its limits. Resolved, That we cannot too highly andear- nestly sanction the recently expressed yiewsof President Johnson in regard to the nature and punishment of treason. Using his terse words, we declare that it isa crime, ‘the highest crime known to the law, and the people ought to un- derstand it, and be taught to knew that unless it is so considered there can be nogovernment.” And that, while those who have been drawn into the rebellion “by conscription and dread”’ should receive “clemency and pardon, the se- verest ’penalties” should be inflicted on its “conscious, influential, and “voluntary” vin- dicators and supporters. And most cordially do we agree with him, that “MERCY WITHOUT JUSTICE I8 A CRIME.” With a Chief Magistrate who entertains these elevated and correct views, and who in this respect approximates to the Divine conception of government, of crime, and the punishment, ‘we cannot doubt the ‘Republic is safe;’ that the deeds of conspirators, insurrectionists and assassinators will receive justretribution, and the right of every citizen and community be duly guarded and defended. Truly, newand more glorious era dawns on the nation; one of restored and purified unity; and we may well exclaim, “Let it be perpetual.” SPEECH OF JOSEPH F. BROWN, Fellow-citizens: Within thelasttwenty min- Ttes, at the request of the Mayor of Washing- ton, who is unfortunately confined to his bed, i bavye been called upon to preside in this meeting to-night. The Mayor assures me that he completely and cordially endorses it, and I know that ex- presses the sentiments of the people and Cor- poration of the city of Washington; and Iam instructed by the Mayor to express to his fel- Jow-citizens now present his regret that, on account of his recent exposure in attending the President’s remains to Springfield, he has contracted an illness which leaves him unable to be present at this meeting to-night; and therefore I, as the second officer in this city, feel it my duty to make this known to you. lam here officially, as the second officer of the Government, ia the absence of the Mayor, to direct your attention to the objects which we have been eailed upon this evening to consider. I know the Mayor could preseat them with more dignity and influence than ithas been my fortune to do, But I am hereas his repre- sentative, and the representative of the sov- ereign people of Washington, to say to you, one and all,in behalf the corporate authori- ties of the city, that we truly and entirely en- dorse the call which has summoned you here to-night. We are in fayor, every one of us, of assert- ing to the Government and authorities that control the city and the country from the Rio Grande to the northernmost portion of our ter- ritory in Maine, that we are is favor of saying to those that deserted us four years ago—each and every one of them that seught to break up this Government—efter voluntarilysurrender- ing their citizenship, and of their free choice seeking their homes ir rebellious States: «You have made your bed, and must lie upon it.” {Applause.} Deliberately and of your own free will and free choice, you sought a home among those that were rebels and traitors to the Government, and now that the power of the Government has been, as we all knew it would be, from the first to the last, main- tained, we now deliberately, and of ourown solemn conyictions, say to you: “Whilst we do not desire to persecute youor visit you with vengeance, we feel that your absence is in- finitely more preferable to us than your com- pany.” [Applause.} Gentlemen, this is I believe the convicion, deliberately concluded of every man I now see before me. If I am mistaken in that, if there a.2 gentlemen who differ with me, I can say,in all kindness and charity, you have heard in these resolutions the conscientious conviction at which we have arrived. I know that 1 speak the sentiments of nineiy-nine out of every hundred of the people of Wasningtdn. Gentlemen, I think it ts our duty, first and last, when we remember the cruel events of the past four years—how these People, under the very shadow cf our national flag, enjoy- ing all the protection our Government could give them, deliberately, calmly, conscientious- jy, as I am bound in charity to suppose de- termined that this Government should be broken up, and this city transferred and forced to become a part and parcel of the Southern Confederacy, and got under the very chadow of this City Hall to carry out Maryland and this city of Washington from under the au- thority of our Government. When we think of these things: when we remember that no conscriptio: as in North Carolina ard Mississippi and other States, Was forced upon them, wien the public opin- ion and the public tide did not hcrre them into the Tebellion—but, that they went of their own free will, determined to take the conse- quences, I say now, as the representative of 15,000 voters in Washington, that they should be compelled to abide by their choice. I have thus attempted to let you know the object of the corporate authorit’>-in conven- ing this meeting to-night; tha’ vatever you may do you may doin mercy, m charity, in Kindness, and in accordance with law and order. Resolutions are noW prepared to be submitted to this meeting. You have heard the resolutions so patriot- ically conceived and expressed by the commit- tee in behalf of the cornoration of the city of ‘Washington. 1 take upon myself the respon- sibility to say thatevery member of that cor- oration heartily endorses these resolutions, hey are the public sentiment of this entire community, from one Boundary street to the other. [Cries of “question,” “question,” adopted. SPEECH OF MR. TENNEY. 1 am brought out here, against my own con- sent, as the representative of Georgetown; but I have never hesitated todo myduty. We, of the District, all feel alike in this matter. When I have seen these returned rebels arm.-in-arm with our District secessionists, I have felt in- tense indignation, But, as a conservator of law and order, I am gratified that the present quiet and dignified manner of expressing our opinion has been adopted. - We have been.told that some of those mien who had returned had taken the oath of alle- gianceand would be permitted tostay. [Shouts of “Never! never!”] I say so, too. [ J Weare content with ealling upon the Govern- Ment to issnea military order that these re- turned rebels shall leave this District. [am only surprised at the mildness of action which the loyal public 9%. this District deems it best to keen when much ae extreme measures: might have beem expected. ~ Instead of asking that they should be imprisoned or hung as traitors, we only 84: your sight is offensive; you are & stench in o' nostrils; you may to New York or Pean- srivenia, or leave the United S'ates, and go to ersey [cheers] and live there, if those States Will permit you; or, if not, you may go to South Carolina, ora worse piace, We ask that the corpotations of Washington and George- town shall pass laws forever distrancDising” such rascals; that no map may vote in this! District who is guilty of the greatest crime that an American can commit—the crime of treason—which includes the robbing, mur- dering, tnd starving of prisoners, stealing even the very money sent to relieve them in the hospitals, culminating in the assassination of the greatest and best man that Washington ever saw. Thank God, Andrew Johnson succeeds him— & man whe, while he has great kindness of heart and urbanity of manner, is a man of jus- tice as wellas ot mercy. He has suffered in this rebellion—has known what it is to be driven from his home and persecuted; and we know that he will give what the Irishman was afraid of—and that’s justice. In reference to these men taking the oath and being permitted to stay here, I would say: Oaths (with them) are but words, words but wind, too feeble instruments to bind. Men guilty of such crimes as they have committed would not hesitate at perjury. Let them be punished, and after years of repentance in sackcloth and ashes we may welcome them; but not till ther. (The band here played + The Star Spangled Banner.”’] SPEECH OF N. M. GAYLOR. Chaplain N. M. Gaylor, of Campbell Hos- pital, then addressed the audience, saying: I came here to-night not expectirg to be called upen fora speech. After supper I read the call, and said to myself: This is a righteous judgment; I will go down and see the people act righteousness ; and so 1 came from the hos- pital. But my friends have pressed me into the service. ow, I beg of you, first of atl, to unite with mein congratulation that the City Council is committed to this movement. The second officer, acting for the Mayor, has pledged them tott,and we will make them carry it out. We'll hold them to the bond, every one of them. : It has gone abroad that the city government of Washington was not sound on the goose, and men have believed that there were a ma- jority of two-taced men in the city government who sympathized, to say the least, with the re- bellion. If this was 80, it was the most dam- nable, disgraceful fact that could be told ef them. Who should be loyal, unless the citi- zens whe owe their very life to the Govern- ment? Who should not be true, if not those men who would be nothing, but for the gen- eral Government at Washington! Ofall in- grates upon whom the sun shines, of all traitors, double-dyed, those are the worst who, haying fed upon the Government, lived op. its benignant kindness, and grown fat upon it, receiving specia) favors for them and their kindred, yet, when there was peril, basely Went away and betrayed us. Now in a double sense these men desetyve your condemnation. There is a great distinc- tion between the rebel ot Tennessee and the rebel of Washington or Maryland. Meninthe Southern States were called upon to resist their township, their friencs, their families, their society, their neighbors, their church ; andevery stream contributing to the tide, they were borne away against their judgment. Your refined gentlemen of Washington, who are so choice in their tastes that they could not endure the rabble democracy of the North; the friends of him who is now flying the wrath of &n aroused nation, the price of blood upon his head, who will be caught, and, if caught, hang —this same Davis said, “the only way youcan tame a spaniel is towhip him;” said thisasa simile to the Yankee. Now, Davis and his friends have been well whipped, and the latter haye ahumilityof the spaniel. They will be very quiet fora time; they would look loyal and talk loyal on the same avenue; but let some sharp detective follow their track,and he would find them in little corteries lamenting over the martyred Davis, bemoaning over the rule of the Yankees, and, whenever oppor- tunity afforded, they would act disloyally, if they dared. leay, if you allow these men—these double- dyed traitors, who have no excuse under eaven but their own base and iniquitous natures to remain here, you will cover your- selyez and this city with disgrace. Resolye that no man tainted with treason, or who has been in any way in symphthy with the rebel- lion at any time, shall live here or hold office with yourGoyernment. It you resolve this, ou can carry it out. And our friend will Rave uttered, if not a fact of the present, a prophecy of the future, when he said that alk of us endorsed it. After an eloquent speech by Captain J. W. Ricks, of California, the President of the meet- ing, Mr. Brown, read the resolutions adopted by the Common Council, (published yesterday ) stating that two voted in the negative. Loud and vehement calls were made for the names of those who voted im the negative, which were given as Mr. perigne of the 7th Ward, and Mr. Ward, of the 5th Ward. These were received with groans and other marks of disapprobation. The mames of the absentees were then de- manded,but not having them at hand the Presi- dent read the names of those who voted in the affirmative, Messrs. Dudley, Davis, Kelly, erie Ruff, Talbert, Ferguson, Wilson, and Lloyd. After remarks by Mr. Scott, of lowa, Justice Boswell, of the Seventh Ward; addressed the meeting. He was in favor of peaceful mea- sures, and would not counsel personal vio- lence to returning rebels; but for one, he was determined that they should not be permitted to remain in our midst. They had lett Wash- ington at the commencement of the war of their own free will, and during last summer bad been ready to come in with Early and sack and destroy the homes of loyal men. Now that the power and integrity of the Gov- ernment had been re-established, they were slinking back again to the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of those who had re- mained through much peril true to the cause ot the Union. They should not be permitted to come back. They were a dangerous ele- ment. Their return would be an insult to the widows and orphans of the gallant dead, and their presence a poljutiig influence upon the rising generation. But those who returned were not the only ones to be looked after. There were men living here who were wel- coming the returning traitors with every mani- ‘syote,” “vote.” The resolutions were;then unanimously testation of friendship, and who clasped by the hand the yery men that less than one year ago hoped to lay waste the homes of the Union aprople ot Washington. He might go at length to name parties who have remained in Washington, and who should be watched as closely as those went South. Sofar as Mr. Wright was conctrned, he hoped that the people of his ward would set the seal of con- demnation upon him, and he would recom- mend that he be requested to resign his seat in the Board of Common Council,and that the Secretary of War be petitioned for his dimissal from the position as one of the chief employes ofthe Washington Arsenal, If the Govern- ment did not take notice of the conduct of this man, he (Mr. B ) would advise that a body of men go to his house and peaceably but firmly notify him to leave the city. Atthe conclusion of Justice Boswell’s re- marks, & resolutica requesting Mr. Wright to resign his place as a member of the Common Council, was unanimously adopted. A resolution requesting Mr. Ward of the Fifth Ward to resign, was also adopted. Mr. H. A. Pierce, of California, next ad- dressed the meeting, and was followed by Noble D. Larner, of the Third Ward, who was introduced as the author of the resolutions adopted by the City Councils. He said that he had been compelled to say a few words in jus- tice to those associated with him in the Coun- cil. He had been complimented as the author of those resolutions. Such was not the case. They were prepared by Justice Johnsou, and he only had the honor oi moving their adoption. 4s chairman of the committee having them Under consideration. Mr. Larner then narrated the experiences of the friends of the resolutions in the Council, and concluded by urging the necessity of look- ing after secessionists who had remained here, as well as those who were returning from the South. The former were the greater traitors. He knew them to be the deepest dyed Villains, and no more leniency should be shown them than the returning rebels whom they were so eagerly welcoming. The meeting then adjourned sine die, with loud cheers for President Johnson. The following committee of consultation was appointed by the permanent Chairman, (Hon. Jobn Wilson,)in accordance with the action of the meeting: .,Washington—First Ward—J. P. Tustin and Fielder R. Dorsett. Second Ward—George H. Plant and Lewis Clephane. Third Ward—W- A.
