Dr. Boyd moved that the association proceed to the election of officers. Dr Purvis asked that the object of the meet- mg be stated, ‘he Chair stated that it was for the purpose of taking initiary proceedings to tne ensuing campaign. Mr. Watson thought that it had been fifteen Months since they had met, amd the meeung ‘Was called without the object being stated.

Mr. Boswell said that the resolutions were in order. Mr. Cook. e to appeal.” Mr. Boswell n appeal.” Several motions were made to adjoura, but lost. Mr. Boswell said that the Board of Polic as- sumed to be a Republican Board, bat was not | one. There were only three of them that you could put your fingers on, and they all, from Murtagh up, had favored Johnson until they feared to lose their power, and then «swung around the circle.” He never expected to de- fend the liquor question. but a whisper had come from the Eastern States that warned him that this question would sink the R=pub lican party. He wanted the people to know that the Kepublican party did not sanction the bigh-banded outrages of the Police Board. They had assumed powers that did not belong to them, snd now went to Congress asa Re- pablican Board to ask for additional power. He wasin po whiskey ring, aud ouly looked tor the xood of tne party. Dr. Parvis said that Mr. Boswell assamad that he embodied and defended the principles of the Kepublican party. He was « good ‘watcher, but he feared that he (B.) was wroag in this case. Mr. Cook (Mr. J. S. Brown in the chair) op- posed the adoption of the resolution in warm ing that th liquor question was not rT. Boswell asked if it had not nearly over- thrown tke party in Massachusetts. Mr. Cook said he would answer m his own time. Mr. Watson wanted to know what in Heav- en's name it was if it was not a political ques- tion. Mr. Cook said he was a Repubiiean and an American citizen,and denied the right of any man tomake him ask or a.swer a question, except in bis own time. Mr. Boswell had thrown this firebrand into the meeting, and said that it was tor the good of the party. If he went to the liquor dealers meeting he would see Democrats and Republicans, and if be ‘went to temperance meetings be met thoee who loved Jeff. Davis, who, if they had their way, would displace Grant and pat Davix in the position; and he also met those who had bared their breasts and raised their arms in defence of their country ana the principles of the Re- publican party. Why not steer clear of Scylia and Charybdis, and leave this question on'! Why endeavor to wreck the party fresh from its voyage to victery and ‘the election of Grant and Colfax? If we steer clear of this question we can tell the liquor men we have some of their men in our party: we can tell the temperance men the same. If we do steer clear, we may be successful in June; if we don’t, we will surely be wrecked. For bis part, if i the futare the party should sink through the introduction of side issues, he ‘would bave it to say that he had done nothing wowsrds it.
