Mr. Crane said he desired to have it distinctly understood that what he said on this occasion Was his own sentiments, and if any gent'emen Were desirous of coming out with ears rep .- diating sentiments such as he uttered, they were welcome to do so. He had no purpose w plicating othere with him in this rebelliow against tyranny. Had it pot been tor that thunder storm when they met beiore, they would have had a large attendance. Theve had been a studied effort oa the part of capitalists to keep the colored people away from this meeting to-night, which was successful, charg- jogupon its friends that it was an attempt to sell out to the democratic party. ‘This wresting ot the liberty from the people by the Gon tree and President’ is a gross outrage. If toi be abuse of the President or or Congress, let them make the most of it. Hon. Charles H. Van Wyck, of New York, who had arrived while Mr. Crane was speaking, Was called for, and said he begged to differ somewhat from the last speaker as to where the tauit rested for the enactment of this bill. Con- gress is all to blame and not the President, whose only duty was to see the laws execated. Congress bad shifted the responsibility made binding upon it by the Constitution, in dele- ating the control of the District of Columbia jo the President. There had been a powerful Ying formed in this city which had the control over Congress. This was true, and no one can deny it. ‘hen he saw Senators and members of Congress come here poor men av] yo away Tich it was fair to presume there was some way besides their salaries iu which to become $0 suddenly wealthy, and it can only be ac- counted for through the drippings of uncleau legislation. . Watson then took the floor, and, after a few remarks, submitted a resolution, that as the so-called Territorial bill is detective in con- struction, is manifestly anti-republican in prin ciple, denying the right of the people togovern, and hastily passed at the end of an excited ses- sion, without full consideration, and having Deen changed at the last moment in the interes of a clique, for these reasons we request the passage of @ resolution by Co: Suspending the operation of the act until the next regular session, when perbaps the bill can be #o amended as to be satisfactory to the people. Dr. Clayton was called upon by Mr. Watson to address the oasag. which be did, denoun- cing the bill as anti-! | ake and anti-Ameri- can, a crucitying of liberty, and # disgrace tc the Americai Congress. G. W. Hatton next addressed the meeting, vilifying the President, Congress and the yre-s. ‘The resolution was passed. Mr. Jno. H. Crane offered a resolution, which, alter some discussion, was adopted, “that the following committee be appointed to wait Congress and urge the amendment of the providing a new goverument for the Distr: Bowen, F.
