Mr. VIM. p. Webb next addressed the meeting,
aud suggested that the occasion should be taken
TO lfqeidate all dues against the Association and
conclude their existence as club with clean
sheet, without undeftak king any of the lodges for
raising the wind Of their friends down the street.
They were not In position to make hoporarv
members at s. apiece [Laughtrl He urged
that the club should maintain its orgapizationI
Let them keep and hold occasional IL not weekly
meetings, Let who will be elected, this was the
great party to keep others In order. The balance
Of power was with them, as In the last House OF
Representatives, and their party had grown up In
few months to be the most potent one in the
country. They had had jolly good times in meet
Ing together, and hoped for vet others II some
OF their friends had gone to the wigwam, he
hoped they would get their reward daughter
The fact of their having been for some time in the
Bell ana Everett ranks indicated that there was

Mr. r. Clayton spoke next, urging them not
to give up the and called attention to the ex
ample OF Garibaldi at Capua, as an evidence of
what faith does. Garlbaldi fought there from az
IN the morning till O'Clock In the evening. and
during that time his position was three times
nken, and three times retaken; yet at noon and
when the tide Of battle was apparently agai INST
him, he wrote dispatch, saying he had con.
quered. He had en- intultive mind, and could
foresee victory. Even If they were conquered In
this contest they would be stronger in defeat than
any other party In victory. He believed Lincoln
would lose several Northern States-New York,
Illinois and Wisconsin, and he thought Ohio by
no means certain for him.
Abiding to the Republican Association In this
CITY, be said there were elements In 1t that would
destroy ~ There was the Dutch plank with
Carl Shurtz. And then there were such men IA
Jim Wise and Wood. But Wood don't want
snythIng Of the Association and gave it Cts at the
foreign elements would be In opposition. Oh.
they would have lively times at the Wigwam IL
Abe comes In! Abe was bound to dlsappolnt
them, aud In six months he would be the most
unpopular man In his party. Naturally he would
wish to coDciliate the South -.
In the opinion Of the speaker the water would
continue to run down the Potomac az usual. il
Lincoln was eiectedi but he feared that the mon
eary condition OF the country would be disturbed
II br.ckihridge should get respectable vote In
the event Of secession by the cotton States he
thought it would not be necessary to fire gun to
bring the secedefs to terms All that was needed
was to blockade New Orleans, Charleston, and
Mobile, and let them sweat 1t out Virginia and
the border slave States had no interests I'm the
way OF a~Southern Confederacy, and would not
join In IT,, The importation of negroes by the
opening Of the slave trade would DESTROY the
value OF slave property In the border States &c
/ The meeting adjourned TIL next Tuesday mic BIT
with three tall cheers for Bell and Everett
