The motion to appoint a serseant-at-arms ‘was adopted, and the Chair asked if Mr. Chas Syphax was present and ifhe was going t> re- main —_ length of time; if so, he would ep- point him. ‘Mr. Edwards asked if Mr. Syphax was a del- egate, and being answered in the n=gative, said he objected to his appointment, The Chas.—Well, I'll not appoint him, and will appoint Mr. C. W. White. (Laughter. After some pleasantness had been engaged in, the Chair said that he had made a mistake, Mr. White being ont on a committee, and he would sppoiut Mr, James Edwards. [Renewed laugh- ter. Mr. Edwards said he would have to decline, and gaye as a reason that he lived at one end of the city, and did not know the delegates as well as a sergeant-at-arms should know them. Mr. G. W. Hatton said the excuse was not a good one: for an up-town man might not kaow the down-town man, and rice vrrsa. Mr. Arrison offered a resolution that to de- fray the expenses a tax of $1 be assessed on each member. (Laughter. and cries of “Lay oa the table.] Dr. Putvis.—I_ would like to amend—. Mr. Arrison.—Mr. President, (“Oh, withdraw it,” “SEay iton the table,” &c) I'll withdraw the resolution for the present. ‘The committee on permnuent organization returned, and the report was read as follows : President, Wm.

I decline.—[Anthony Bowen (co! | ored) bere leaned over and whispered to Mr. Shivar.}—Well, Til accept. Gen. Crocker moved that the report be adopted, which was | agreed to. Messrs. Henderson and Peters were appoint- ed to conduct the president to the chair. Mr. Cook. upon taking the chair, returned his thanks for the honor corferred upon him. He considered it truly an honor, for this Conve tion were the representatives of the great Re- publican or Union party of the city of Wasb- yogton, and that party was not an accidenial one; not a concourse of persons laboring for their own personal aggrandizement. It was controlled by exalted sentiments and grand principles. He believed all men were created egual, and endowed with ceriain inalienable rights, among them life. liberty, and the pur- it of happiness. The Republican party, daunted. had moved forward and conquered its foes. The Repabhean pariy pomivated and elected the illustrious and martyred Abraham Lincoln. When the rebellion broke out the Republican party poured forth its hosts of he- Toes to the field, autil the rebellion was over- thrown and the nation saved. It was true that the Republican heroes were aided to put down the rebedion bya few Democrats. but the Democrats without the Republicans would have been powerless. The Republican party touched the chains of oppression in this Dis- irict and Hiberty followed. Its proclamamiion was issued and the slaves of the South were free. The angel of liberty gathered up the fei- ters of sinvery and then tbrew them into the gulf of infamy. To-day that party sat in yon- der Capitol, deliberating upon the guili of the treachery of Andrew Johnson, and if Sen- ators would pronounce the sentence of guilty, as they should do, this incubus of treachery would be removed, and the American peopie be free again. The future was before that party with victories surpassing those of the past. They should become the advocates of all that was and noble in this world, and be- ware of office seekers or men who would steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil with, of those men who never made an enemy, and who were correctly described by the following lines: “I care nota fig for * name If I can secure my v ishes, For this bas always been my aim To secure the loaves and flishe.”” He hoped the members of the Convention would aid bim in preserving the harmony and dignity of that body, and thus spread an infln- ence beyond these walls which would com- | mand the respect of those not connected with | them. If tney acted wisely the result would be that the foot of the Republican party would | be upon the great dragon of Democracy in this | caty, and the Kepublican banners flap over a | sallen and defeated toe. [Appiasse) Mr. Wm. Smith (colored) moved that all res- olutions and motions submitted to the Conyen- tion be reduced to writing. Mr. Jas. Edwards moved to strike out the word motions, which amendment was accept- . Francis Taverns (colored) moved to smend by inserting the words “if demanded by the Convention,” which amendment was re- | jected, and the resolution was adopted. |” Mr. J. Sayles Brown (white) moved that the Convention now proceed to nominate a candi- date for Mayor. Major W.'S. Morse (white) offered a resolu. | tion providing that several ward delega- | tions now proceed to nominate a candidate for jayor. Mr. Carter A. Stewart called attention to his motion that the chairman of each delegation be allowed to cast the full vote, the same as if all the members of the delegation were present. Major Morse said that Mr. J. H. Crossman | bad been substituted in piace of Mr. Edinbero, | in the Fourth Ward. Mr. ©. M.

Mr. Josiah Gray (white) was opposed to choking off debateg The question upon sustainmg the decision of the Chair was then put and carried. [Applanse.} Mr. Jobn F. Cock offered the following: Kescived, That with a view to prese: barmony of the party, each of the can for nomination or the party presenting any candidate before this convention, be required to give the following pledge, or hat a commitien of three be appointed to wait on the gentlemen nom inated tor that espe: “I hereby pledge myself to abide the deci=ion of this con ventioa in the selection of its candidates, and doallin my power to effect success in the coming elec- tion.” Mr. A. F. A.

Mr. Peters.—We are here for that parpose, and came uutremmelled. [Mr. Edwards.—Not allofyon.] Tell me the utility of takiog an informal ballot Major Hine said that it was asual in proceed- ings of this kind for the wards not to meet on the come evening. This proporition of going into an election at once was like driving a beetp ie) He wanted to find who is the bes: cand‘cate. Dr. Purvis said that the very reason for going into the nomination had been given — Mr. Edwards.— Will you yield the floor? Dr. Purvis.—No; Pll not yield. Mr. Edwards.—I m obliged for your cour- tesy. Mr. J. S. Brown called attention to the tact tha: the bail was engaged for the evening, and QePosed an informal yote, as by it time would ost. Several here ecsayed to get the floor, and Mr. Joseph Martin rose to a point of order, that some of the participants appeared to have been taught by the Democrats. {Mr. Josiah Gray, of the Sixth Ward, at- tempted to obtain the floor, but failed.’ He, however, sent the following resolution to the secretary's teble, on which no action was had: ‘Wheres it-has been for some months past and now is aay Teported, and generally believed that Sayles J. Bowen did writea letter to Hon. A. W dall, Postmaster General for Andrew Johnson, immediately subsequeut to the notorious Philadelphia ‘Convention hn Avgust. 1°66, endorsing the platform of that Convention, and the policy of Andrew John- son as therein expressed, and wheres it also currently reported and generally believed that S. J. Erown proffer-da large aniount of money to the Jobneon Commuttee, of which Charles Knepp, Evq., wes Caairman, and whereas if said charges are true, S. J. Bowen is entirely unworthy of our cunfidence and support, and it the cbarges are net true, they should be re- futed and nailed to their authors, and whereas the colored men of Washington will support no man who ts a political trickster or demagogue, oF who has not the honesty to show his colors atall times. Be it resolved, That a committee of 21 persons —3 from each ward—be appointed at this meet- ing by & rira ro-e nomination, to investigate the truth of those charges, “sending for persons ard papers,” and report at tbe lime and place at which this meeting adjourns. Kesolved, That the colored men of Washing- ton will yote for no man for Mayor whocannoi present a clean record of his political principles in favor of the equality of all men by his acting as well as by his professions when the spoils of off ce are the bribe for his boldness. Mr. Martin called the previous question, and the call was sustained, amid applause. Major Hine*’ amendment was lost. Major Mor e moved that tie Convention go iaso the nom nations, Mr. Crocker obtained the floor, and stated that they were here for the purpose of select- ing 8 candidate for Mayor—a standard-bearer for the Republican party, It was select 2 man of undoubted integrit sre fo the interests of the people without regard torace or color.

Great confusion here ensued, numbers ot del- egates clamoring for the motion to be put, and others calling out “You can’t gag us in that -” The President kept up a continual rap- pirg on his table until the gavel loosened from lis handle and gave one of the reporters a Re - pullican knock. Finally somethirg like orasr ‘was restor:d, end Major Morse sung oat, «1 rise to a point of order.” More disorder, everybody addressing the Charr, in the midst of which Mr. Crocker said that be world withdraw the cail for the pre- vious question.) ‘The Chair (having, by the vigorous use of the gavel, succeeds ping the atient of the delegatcs}—Ihe previous quesiion is withdrawn.

Major Wells moved that any person who refuses to take his seat when called to order sball te arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms. [Cries of “Oh no, put ‘em out.”) Major Mcrse moved that Mr. K+ls+y be al- lowed to proceed, and Mr. Robt. Thompson asked if the Republicans did not edvocate [roe speech. The motion of Majer Morse was put and curried. Mr. Kelsey continued, saying that he bad bee personal triend of Mr. Bowen tor years but when the interest of the party demanded that another should be put forwerd, he was in savor of doipg it: party should bave bigher consideration then men, They should corsider colirr siturtion of aifairs here. With Mr. Bowen they could only carry the city, but be wisbrd a man who would carry the city by a large mejority. They should take a man wh: is the least vulnerable and not one who b: rendered himself obnoxious 'o Republican. (Mr. J. 8. Browp.—Ha! ha! ba! The Chair.—The gentleman will come to er- der. He rese to nominate Mr. Pfau, and was allowed to advocate bis nomination, but he can- not sttack Mr. Bowen. Mr. Jomes Small.—1 object to the gentleman proceeding. Mr. Kelsey asked pardon, and proceeded to state thatif Mr, Pfau receives the nomination he would recerve the votes of 1,800 men that Mr. Bowen would not get. Considerable confusion here ensued, a mem- ber laughing derisively at the assertion, and a few applauding it, and Mr. J. Sayles Brown rose to a point of order, while Mr. C. W.

[Applause.} At ten minutes to six o'clock the previous question was demanded on the nom!

Mr. Edwards said that be had voted for Mr. Richards hecanse he thonght that he was the best man, end beeause that Bowen had enough to do, but would move that the nomination be made unanimons. The Chair said he would put the question again, and doing so, declared that it was unan- imourly carried, Mr. Beall renewed bis motion to appomt a committee to wait on Mr. Bowen, and it was aclopted; the committee being appointed a fol- lows: A. Henderson (colored), F. A. Hine, R. J. Beall, Parker Briscoe (colered), E. S. At. kinson (colored), Henry Better (colored), ©. 8. Bates. A resolution was offered that a committer of two from each ward be appointed to dratt a plattorm. ‘Major Morse moyed that the National Repud- lican platform be adopted. Mr. Keleey said the National platform would do tor national politics, but that there were local interests which should be set forth. Mr. G. W. Hatton said they now had nomi- nated Mr. Bowen, and would have to make a temperance platfurm for him to stand on, Mr. R. lope gee ge said that when they elected men to offiee last year, they had asked no question, and in some cases they had been deceived and suffered much, and their children to-day were deprived of over $41,000. The committee here returned, and the sup- position being that Mr. Bowen was with them, there was considerable jause. but in this they Were disappointed. Major Hein handed a letter to the Qbair, which Col. Cook read as follows: Wasnixcton, D. C., May 8, 1864.—Colonet Wiliam A.

Crocker, Mr. Eowen said: My Frien it and Fellow-Citizens - You will perdon me, I kpow. for saying very little to you this evening, when I tell you that I have heen quite unwell for some days, and am rea"ly notable to be out at this time. You have callhd, I presvme, to sicnify your concurr-nce in the ection of the Republican Convention thet bes placed me in nomination for the high ard responsible position of Mayor of this city.

[Applause.]" Its not vecessary, I presume, for me to assure the people of this city of my devotion to their interests, or my fidelity to the great principles that haye brought about uni- versal suffiage in this metropolis. You all know what my course has been, and my past record should be a gusrantee for my future actions. Cries of “tis.” The part you have borne in placing my name betore the people entitles you to my hearty thenks. Your ection respecting this matter hes teen voluntsry und disinterested, for no ove has asked or received a pledge from me of any kind, nor have Lever asked a single indi vidual to vote for my nomination or election. My selection, therefor’. is the more gratifying to me because it has come spontaneonsly. remarkable unanimity, from the he It the Republicans of the city will persev with the same energy and determin baye marked their course in eff nomimation till the first day of June, they Will most assuredly triumph. Our enemies are actively st work, however, and will spare reither t'me, trouble, nor money to deteat our t.cket. "They must be met by proper efforts. Party organization and hard work,har- mony in your deliberations, concert and unant- mity of action, judicious ward nominations, and personal sacrifices will all be necessary for success. “Measures and men” should be the motto of every Republican voter in Wasb- ington. Each should be a committee-man to awaken his neighbor to the importance of the contest, and see that every one who will yote the Republican ticket deposits his ballot in proper time. I take it for granted that not a single colored man in Weshington will so far degrade bimself rs to be found voting for the candidate of that party which so long held them in bondage, and who, had they the pow- er, would egain reduce the colored race to slavery, ard instanily deprive them of the right to vote ard the means of educating their children. i > My frierds, itis all important that the au- thorities of this city be m sccord with the na- tional legis'ature. You all know the difficul- ties we have met with in the ast few years in our efforts to obtain the usual appropriations for the improvement and adornment of our public squares and grounds, our streets and Avenues, and the city generally. Besides, we baye failed to secure a dollar in aid of the pub- lic schools, although every Congreesional di: trict in the United States has received large donations, Why is this? It is because Cor- gress bas no confidence in your city govern- ment; because your Mayor aud a portion of Aldermen and Common Council have with each other in denouncing the repre- ives of the people and their acts as usur- pations and tyrannical. Give us a city zov- ernment that sympathizes with Congresr, one whose o} can reasonably ask a fayor, and Xho will not misapply ihe money placed in their bands, and, my word for it, there will be no Jack of belp forall our public improvements and the support of a generous system of public schcofs, 1 have yet to find the first Senator or memberof Oongress who did not acknowl the justice of the claim of this District on the General'Government for material aid for the support of schools, nor one who would not yote Moeral appropriatiqns, in m: ws, heel land, Provided he could be satisfied would be abused 0 that for it; that the same would be experded for the education of al/ the children corruptand devigaing ten.
