can Republican Party Hast evening.

IL IL IiipoeslDlt 10 utScIlOt the enthusiasm Una
prevailed at the meeting of the American Party Of
the Third Ward, which took place last evening
AT the appointed hour, the room was literally
damned. In the absence of Mr.. Sammons, Presi
dent of the Third Ward Association, F. H. Way
Esq, one of the Vice Presidents, took the chan
until the arrival of Mr. S. The proceedings of the
last meeting and the resolutions there adopted
were read and approved.
Mr. SAMMoNs, having arrived, rose, and stated
that the object of the present meeting the or
ganization of the Association; but the Consiu
ton and Bye-Laws had been prepared in a very
hasty manner, he suggested that they be laid over
to future meeting he would, however read
them, and take the action of the Association in the
matter The whole were adopted read. re-
solution was then carried to receive signatures "a
the Constitution and Bye-Laws of the Association
and 1t was caution to see how the folks stepped
up to the captains Office to settle Mr. Broas having
resigned his Office of Treasurer, Mr. Cornelius AL
lison appointed in his stead. Edward b. CO.
zens, Joseph Mills, and James l.. Hewett, were
appointed to compose the Finance Committee.
| The President then moved that b. :. Whitney
ESQ. of the Ninth ward, address the meeting, which
he did at some length. His remarks were received
with unbounded applause, and we regret that the
want OF time and space prevents us from doing HIM
justice on the present occasion. Mr.. De La Rec
being loudly called for, appeared and favored his
friends with few OF his sweet and patriotic songs.
Mr.. Fem next addressed the meeting, and was
succeeded by the President, STEPHEN SAMMoNs,
