tage his enemies might take of his new position,
that the final compromise line with slavery should
be SO deg. 30 minutes south latitude
This sentiment was received with the most
deafening plaudits and Mr.. Thayer took his seat
amid repeated rounds of applause.
When Mr.. Thayer had concluded, Mr.. Aldrich
moved to take from the table his resolutions, and
spoke at some length in support Of them, saying
that they were nothing more than what bad been
endorsed by Republican conventions from the Erst
organization Of the party, and he did not see why
any objection could be raised to their unanimous
passage by this meeting. He thought Congress
had its duty to perform, well the poor set
tiers, in keeping the territories free from slavery
and he did not want any responsibility incum-
bent upon Congress shirked.
In answer to certain interrogations made by
Mr.. Aldrich, Mr. Thayer stated that whenever the
Wilmot Proviso should be introduced, he should
be found voting with the rest of the Republicans
in its favor, although he did not think it would
be of any for the House to pass it, in the face
of the Senate, the President, and the Supreme
Court.
Hon. Dwight Foster said he thought there was
no discrepancy between the sentiments of the re
solves and the speech they had all just listened to
with so much pleasure, and he saw no reason why
dissenting vote against them should be given
by any Republican, embracing as they did
the platform upon which we had always stood.
Col. Fosters remarks were very logical and
sound, and seemed to meet with very general ap-
prevail.
After remarks from several other gentlemen,
and motions made. and voted down, the records
of which would not interest the public, Mr.. Dex-
ter F. Parker offered the following resolution,
and moved its adoption, in connection with the
resolves Of Mr.. Aldrich
Resoiued. That the opp0nents Of the national ad minis
ration in this city have in representative Con
gress from the ninth district able and fearless oppo
nent of hpro slavery party OF this country, and
and stead asst friend OF liberty and freedom Hereby
declare him to be first choice representative for
the next Congress- and we pledge to him our warm
hearts and cordial support in the coming political canvas
and We shall hail with 10Y his nominal on, to be
rumphanty elected.
Hon. George F. Hoar also favored the adop-
tOn of both sets Of resolves, and, in the Of
his remarks passed very eulOgium upon
Ma Thayer, every word and sentiment of whose
speech he endorsed, fully.
The general sentiment of the meeting seemed
to be in favor of adopting the suggestions of the
two last named speakers, and the whole mat
ter would doubtless have been settled at once, in
that way, but it getting late, and it was
deemed best to adjourn without any action upon
either set of resolves, until Wednesday evening,
at the same place, when it was voted to have the
nominating committee above selected to report.
