Mr. Ambush proceeded to urge that the Mreting proceed to elect delegates tothe Border State Cou vention, and said he was opposed to electing two from each ward. Mr. George T. Downing remirked that he bad beard thata feeling would be manifested which he would be sorry for. He aoticed the manner im which the meeting—— Mr. Brooks raised the poiat that the gentle. man was not a citizen of the District of Co- lombi: Considerable confusion here prevailed, some claiming that Mr. Downing was a citiven wad should be beard, and others that this was a citizens’ meeting, and non-residents should not participate. A motion was made that Mr. Downing be allowed to proceed, when some objected that the motion was adding insult to injury. The Chair urged that Mr. D. wasa the United States, and might be heard. Mr. Brooks said that he would like to define bis position, that he bad no objection to Mr Downing speaking if this was a general meet- citizen of jug. ‘ir. Downing said that he was earnest in his efiorts to elevate the race. Would they put the padlock to bis lips ! Mr. Brooks said that when he (D.) identified himself with the citizens of the District of Uo- Jumbia he would ve willing to bear him. More commotion ensued. during which the Coasir said that he (Mr. D.) wasa little off the track, but be wanted to hear him. Mr. Ambush to @ point of order, that the discussion should be confined to the reso- lauon. Mr. Hatton asked if Mr. Downing was nota man, and if so why tis trouble | ‘Mr. Downing proceeded to state that. he"was a denizen of the District of Columbia, and entitled to the mghts and protection of such. [A voice—“You are an ad interim.”} [Laugh- ter.) Mr. D. proceeded to state that it had been proposed that there should be nine delegates elected—two from the city of Georgetown. He Bad no individual ends to serve, and would not there to represent the District, bat he would be there as a delegate. Mr. Brooks.—That’s just what bas brought on this trouble. He says that he will not bea delegate from the District, but is going there to represent his State, and he would submit that he bad no business to take part in the dis- cussion. ‘The Obair stated that he was sorry that such an expression had been made, and he thought that Mr. D. should not have made it: but as the meeting had agreed to hear him, he should be allowed to proceed. Considerable contusion again prevailed, some saying that the house bad not given him (D.) the privilege claimed, others that it had, and some saying that the CBair had «chawed his words.” Alderman J. F. Cook urged that the meeting hear Mr. Downing, and intimated aed point of order that Mr. D. mot & citizen was made by a msn who iad not been here as tong as Mr. D. More commotion ensued, when Mr. Brooks demanded the right of re- lying to sn attack made upon bim. Ma? Downing insisted that he (Brooks) could not trample on his (D’s.) rights. After further discussion the question was put as to allowing Mr. Downing to proceed, and it was carried and he went on state the object of the conven. tion and to discuss the resolution, urging thi the delegates be elected to-night. Mr. Clark rose to call Mr. . attention to a remark made by him, when he stated that he had said something which was offensive, aad he desired to take it back. ‘Mr. Joseph Brooks desired to make a per- sonal explanation. He had been attacked. [A Voice.—When you oppose the freedom of speech I oppose ‘Here mach confusion you. | took place, but order was restored and he was roceed. allowed to p |.

Mr. Carter A. Stewart remarked that the res. olution was one of vital importance ; that it ‘was not perfect. ‘Mr. Bell said if any one bad, not comprenen- sion enough to comprehend the resolution, whreh be thought was comprehensive, he musi be very dull, indeed. Mr. Stewart proceeded to urge that the reso- lution was not proper; that this meeting could not properly elect the representatives from the county. Ti were disabilities to be removed here; the colored people should have the privi- leges of the jury box. Mr. Bell warmly adyocated the adoption of the resolution, amd if they thought two trom each ward was too many, he would insert one. Dr. Purvis objected to the resolution becanse it was not full enough, and he proposed to offer a set of resolation= as a substitute, and asked that Mr. Downing read them. Here confusion again occurred, pomts of order, motions to adopt, to hear Ir Purvis’ resolation, to lay on the table, and calls for the previous question follow ing each other so rapidly that fora ume the Chairman (who by the way was very cool,) seemed totally at a loss how to proceed. Finally Mr. Downing arose to read the resolutions. Rev. Anthony Bowen suggested it there were Avy present who could not be managed, they should be Bent to the Seventh Waid, where they could be managed. Some one answered “You bave not managed the canal yet.” Mr. Downing read the resolutions approving the cal for the Convention: that the citizeus Will give the delegates a hearty and generous welcome; that the meeting will appoint 9 dele- that the delegaies be requested to take tion as shall facilitate the adoption of ndment to the constitution making the franchise uniform throughout the | States and not afected by race, coler or reli- gious belief; that in Grant and Colfax they have two honest personages who will exercise their utmost influence, so far as they may consistently, to piace all American citizens. witbout regard to their complexion, on equal political base; that the original aboliti ists bave a large and abiding share of grati:udi | that the Republican party gave the colored people their rights, and no other party can aliepate them from that party except by out- stripping it im consistency and in an houest advocacy of geuuine democratic principles: tentical agencies which have to their present position; payimg a tribute to the memory of the great Commoner, Thaddeus Stevens, and closing as follows: “Whereas, we do not desire the blood of our brother; and whereas. no good would now come from the hau; ‘of Jenerson Davis; and Whereas, “all is well that ends well,” (the country having been relieved of the curse of stavery:) d whereas, we beli that it would be a saving of the public ds; we the colored citizens of this District stood ready to recommend the discontinuance of the farce known as the Jeff.
