SuvexTuH WARD REPUBLICAN ABBOCIATION A stormy time—Parties about with h allowed there—Parties to who have ares to grind—Has Dr. Be grind }—Has Mr. Rhi Has Jo. Wiiliams (Vi Mr. Wo ment rece e—Dr Boyd resign resigns —His resign he Last evening the regular weekly meeting of the Radical Republican Association was heid at St. Paul's Chapel, Mr. F. A. Boswell, (white,) President, in the Chair, and Dr. William Boyd, (white,) Seere- tary The meeting was opened by singing the hymn ‘Together let ussweetly live,” &c., aud prayer by Rev. Anthony Bowen, colored. in reudipg tbe minutes the Secretary read tbe phrase “His Excellency,” in reference to resident of the Association. Mr. C. S. Bates (white) asked by what au- thority this term was used. Dr. Boyd remarked it was generally used as A mark of politeness. Mr. Bates denied that it was generally used ard asked how long it had been so used. Mr. G.S. Hepburn (white) moved to strike itout The clause was then ordered to be stricken out. Mr. Bates.—I hope no such nonsense will be need in future. An invitation was given to persons to join the club, and a stirring appeal was made by Rey. A. Bowen, when about fifteen colored men banded in their names and were elected. Mr. Greorge S. Hepburn offered a reseiution that the members of the association «most emphatically deprecate the acts of any person now claiming to be a Republicanin sentiment whos may, at any period, even when the demon of slavery held sway in this District, for money, had run any colored men or women out of this city into slavery.” That they “doubt the sincerity of purpose now of any person who may have engaged in cooping coi- ored persons, holding them in order to obtain a larger reward from their masters for their return than was offered by the poor eufferers and their friends for their liberation. That they will not nominate as a candiaate for any office within our gift, any individual who, py any Teason whatever, may be disqualified from the exercise of the elective franchise.” It seemed to be generally understood that these resolutions were levelled at the secre- tary, Dr. Boyd, and they were read by that officer amid profound silence, every one seem- img to regard their introduction as the bomb which was te burst in their midst. Dr. Boyd said he had no onjection to them. A call was made to have the resolutions re- read; which was done by Mr. C. S. Bates, who remarked that they were very good, and moved their adoption. Mr. Jos. Willams moved to indefinitely postpone the resolutions; lost. The resolutions were then adopted. Mr. John H. Crane (white) inguired by What authori'y auxiliary clubs bad been organized in the wards, and @ Jong discussion ensued, in which Mesers. A. Bowen, (colored, ) O.S. Bates, (white,) and others took part. Mr. Reuben Bacon (white) moved that the pastors of the churches be requested to notify the auxiliary clubs to report to this club the number of their members, &c. Mr. Bates moved to amend by making it read, “te hand in the names of their members for record as members."’ Rey. W. J. Walker (colored) said that some of these clubs were formed because the people wanted to talk: wanted to practice speaking; and some, to judge by the tall blowing, had learned very rapidly. Dr. Boyd said it looked to him as if some one Was aimed at, and if it was so, they uid name bim, Rey. A. Bowen, (colored.)— Will you desig- pate the pariy | Dr. Boya.—It is impossible for me tosay who the Lewd is. If they wanted harmony they should let this resolution lie over, and nat throw a firebrand in their midst. Rey. A. Bowen (colored) said it seemed to be the idea, from what had been said, that the colored men could be blinded, and he did not Wish any such impression to go out If the Doctor thinks the resolution is intended for him, why don’t be say so. He knew what his Pp le were and knew that they could not be divided. although there were parties about with axes to gribd, some of whom attend the avxiliary clubs. They cannot deceive the 7th ward. Mr. W .H. Wilson (white) moved to lay the resolution on the table; lost. Dr. Boya offered an amendment that the pastors be requested also to report the name of any party who they knew to have an axe to grind. r. Bates offered a substitute for the resolu- on that the officers of the clubs sead in lists of their members. Mr. George 5. Hepburn said that he had at- tended some of the mass meetings, and at one in the city he heard aman named Rhinebardt say that when he came here four or five years ago that there was not six loyal men in the District. Dr. Boyd rose toa point of order—that the gentleman was not speaking to the resolution. Mr. Hepburn.—Well, 1 will talk to the reso- tution, and will just say that I knew bim (Khinehardt) to be lying when be made the assertion: and I would have called him to account, but did not wish to have anything to do with tbe blatherskite, whereverhe may haye come from. (Laughter and applause.} The substitute offered by Mr. Bates was adopted Mr. A. Bowen (colored) moved that the pas- tors‘of the churches be requested to continue the mass meetings; adopted. Mr. Jo&o Lee (colored) having stated that he Was engaged in working for the cause among the prick-yards in the lower portion of the ‘ward, where there were no churches, a motion was made by Rey. W. J. Walker empowering him to continue the. canvass. Re ;. A. Bowen (colored) asked if it was pro- posed to give him compensation. Dr. Boyd( white) hoped the gentleman would not be insaited by an offer of compensation. Rev. A. Brown replied that bedid not in- tend to insult the gentleman, but if he did this work he ought to be paid for it. He be- lieved in payipg for work. 1. Lee repied that he did not expect pay, and that he would be amply paid if nis efforts advanced (be caure. (Appiause.) Mr. Benj. Lannam (caiored) said) that be hod heard some loud taiking, but some things had not been spoken of. Their own people— the old residen ts—needed stirring up, and work must be done among them. He had been work- ing, and found that those who bad been here buttour or five years knew their duty. Th had been pressed in it,and the old people were standing back. The new comers were as trne as & dollar. Rey. A. Brewn moved that Mr. Lannum be instructed to rout ap the old residents. Mr. Lannum.—l have been doing that for a long time. r.J.H. Crane suggested that it was time that the whole ward was being canvassed. Mr. Jos. Williams, (signer of the se. ordinance.) addressed the meeting, tbat one of the reasons the white. had such majority over the colored wasb use the la ter-were not properly instracte ., and in thi ward the idea was put forth tba: the colored man did not want teaching. Tois wasnotthe way. The First Ward did its duty, and soaid the Second and the Third; the latter with the assisi(ance of men from First and Second Wards. If they had done their whole duty in the Fourth Ward the whice majority would be reduced 200. Rev. Mr. Bowen remarked that he did not want the impression to go out that he said the colored people knew enough.’ He saw in this association a josition to quarrel, and in the First Ward heynoticed that they called each other brothers, while nem the members looked on one another as enemies. Dr. Boya moved that the committee of five to represent the association in the central as- “Rev. W. 3.

Dr. Boyd.—Mr. President, I move— Mr. Williams.—I object; bis resignation has been accepted. Dr. Boyd replied that it cook effect at the { meeting, and moved the election by bal- jot, not seconded, it being then 11.15 p. m ; lost. The motion was adopted, and the following were appoimted: J. H. Orane, Joseph Wil. liams, Rev. W. J. Walker, (colored) —— Net- ter, (colored) and Kev. Mr. Le, (colored.) Mr. Hepburn objected to Mr. Williams ser- Ving, as he was not a voter. Mr. Boswell tendered bis resignation as President of the Association, and proceeded to read bis letter, in which he states that he felt compelled to take this course from the frequent personal controversies that have taken place in the club, and because of the unaccountable conduct of the acting Se- cretary. He was actuated one motive—the Of bis past or present Position as a Republican, although he did not claim to be an original suffrage man, from the fact that that subject had ne: been before the poonie until the last two years. He would re- ler those who doubted his position to his cards publisbed in the Republican ef Oct. 3d, 1°64, and the Star of the 10th of May, 165. He had been the President of the ward organization for five years; but, with all his efforts. he found mep of no character and no princi- ples attempting te denounce him. In concin- sion he assured the club that he would con- tinue a faithfal worker in the cause. Messrs. Barron, (white,) Smithson, ( white.) and others, asked if the Chair had fully made up his mind to th!. course! Mr. Smithson ; white) moved that the resig- nation be not accepted. Rey. A. Bowen (colored) believed that it was the unanimous wish of the colored mea for the President to retain his position, and that they could not be made to believe that he was not the colored man’s triend: they were satisfied with bis loyalty, and could not be made te doubt it. A Voice—That's what's the matter. Mr. Jos. Williams moved that the Chair be requested to withdraw the resignation, and he expreseed his astonishmemt on reading in the proceecings of the Republican Association that Dr. Boyd had offered certain resolu- tions. Dr. Boyd hoped the resignation would not be accepted, and as he was going out of the club, the President would not be cempelledto ke compens With men of no character in hie letterhe speaks of the acting secretary, and he would like to know what he meant when he bad been elected at the same time as the gentleman The Chair—When the Secretary comes te a Meeting and leaves it, making it necessary to appoint a secretary pro tem., there was cause for calling bim an acting secretary. Dr. Boyd said that he offered certain reso- Intionsin the Wesley Church, which were adopted, and one of the resolutions directed — to present them at the other wards, which did. The Chair denied that the resolution had been adopted. Dr. Boyd remarked that as being of no char acter be would dare an investigation. His character had been testified to by fifty-five members of Congress. The Chair.—The gentieman’'s character has | not been attacked. Dr. Boyd continued, saying that the Chair Weuld in future beable to keep respectable —e ker put the question, and the club Unanimously refused te accept the resignation of Mr. Bosweil. The Chair thanked the association for the compliment, and promised that in the future he would be as in the past—the friend of man, ho matter what his color. All the past was Wiped out with him.
