Instant, the following preamble and resolution
were unanimously adopted, and ordered to
| be Published:

for the removal Of competent and efficient
| Democratic public officers, and for the appoint
mept In their stead of men protesting to be
| Democrats, are now being actively circulated
by, and have received large number of the
| signatures of, members of the Know Nothing
organization; and whereas we regard such
means of bolst.ring up the applications of pre-.
tended Democrats for Executive favor as con-
ducing to false expression Of Democratic
sentiment, as disreputable to the parties con-
cerned, as insulting to the appointing Iower,
| and as meriting tho strongest condemnation !:
| Therefore
| ResoLred, ANONYMOUSLY, That the members
of the jackson Democratic Association of the
Sixth Ward deem this fit occasion, and a
proper time, for the expression of the senti.
ment that they are opposed to the removal of
such faithful officers as have, in every trial
and emergency, proved true to the Democratic
party but they are earnestly in favor OF,
and think the urgency Of the times require,
the prompt dismissal of those men who, mold.
| ing positions of patronage under Democratic
administration, have prostItuted their trusts
tn promote the ends of Know Nothingism and
| Black Republicanism.
