Some days ago, by special request, we pub
lished the proceedings of Reform meet
ing held at Milton, Wayne county, Ind,
among which were some of the most ridicu-
lous declarations and opinions, it has ever
been our luck to encounter.-JOU71al.
The aforesaid meeting was an auxiliary
meeting of the Black Republican party, and
was presided over BY the notorious MATTHEW
Il. HULL, who headed Know Nothing mob
in this city about year since, which preyen-
ted an opponent of the Maine Law from ad-
dressing the people, and for which act he re-
csived the plaudits of the Journal Thi.
same HULL was appointed at the Black Re-
publican Convention of the 18th Of july
1854, to serve upon 4 Committee to prepare
business.
Furthermore the newly elected Black Re
publican member of Congress from the Burnt
District, DAVID p. HOLLOWAY, was pres
ent at the Milton meeting, and in the Ian.
guage of the official proceedings "and being
invited to address the meeting, proceeded t.
review the Temperance Law of Indiana; th'
relation of the Supreme Court of the State
&C., denunciation of the assumption of th
political Roman Catholic Church, as subver
sive to Republicanism and the Protestant re
ligion; and laudatory of the American party.
The following resolutions, among other
were adopted, which may be considered as
part of the Black Republican creed.
Resolved, That we protest against the pro
scription of the black man at the North a
well as the South-for the spirit that dcnie
him equal rights at the North, enslaves hin
at the South.
Resolved That man has no business t
mark for woman her sphere, for he Away
botches the job when he attempts to men
what God has done. That whatsoever
right to lie Observation-Disclosures man Q
woman has ability and desire to do-that h
or she has equally the right, whatsoever.
ResolUed, That if the advocates of the B
bic knew it 70 be free from error, they woul
not fear any amount of investigation an
discussion, and any such fears, hesitation
or reluctance to investigate, is manifest evi
dence that they knew ii to be mixed wit
, error, falsehood and delusion.

who favor it are infide 20 the teaching c
Christ

|, Resoired, ThatthOse wolves in sleeps clio
thing who profess to be in favor of Temper
ance and yet furnish the distiler with corr
wood, and other material, do efiectually ex
pose the length, breadth, and depth of thei
inconsistency and than these, there are N
greater obstacles in the way Of the Temper
anee reform.
Resoluel, That the consumption of swine
flesh by the people does much to sustain tn
diStiller, while it degr.ldes the consumer an,
keeps him from rising to the dignity Of tru
manhood.
