wIswAM LAST NIsHr.-A large audience was

Dacey were received az members.
Other routine business followed; after which,
Mr.. A. C. Richards offered two resolutions, the
FIRST thanking Col Cassus NJ CLAW for his able
address before the association at Odd Fellows
Hall, last Saturday night, and the second as fol-
lows: -
Rssolrsd, That while we would not presume to
advise the President elect as to whom he should
call into bis Cabinet councils yet we would hail
with delightthe selection Of Col. Cassius M Clay
for the office Of Secretary Of War, and we believe
said appointment would meet with the most cor
dial approval, not only OF all republicans in the
southern States but Of intelligent men Of all par
ties, whether Of tie North or South.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Mr.. balance, OF Illinois, being present. was
favttsd to address the meeting.
Mr.. took the stand, and ex pressed his pleasure
al seeing what the people in his section of the
country would think strange sight-arepublican
audience in a slave COUNTRY He had two obiec-
lions to addressing the audience; one was that he
did not like to undertake what had been designed
for another to perform, and the other, he did not
like to address republican audiences When he
spoke, he wanted to hammer away at those whose
minds are yet In the fog with reference to the doc
trine Of republicanism He presumed that all
present Were already enl Q htened
The speaker expressed his qualification at the
stand the republicans of this city had taken ;
alluded to the troubles now impendip NO over the
country, and hoped that the great God of heaven
would grant that the day might never come when
he might not be able to address this audience as
ffellow-citizens.
Abiding TO the sectional differences NJ more
length, Mr. B. said that IL the demagogues on
both sides could but be kept out of the way. our
course as a nation would be onwarQand prospe-
iOus, Ihat the people are having no voice la this
matters that the demagogues are ruling us and
misrepres enting the real views and wishes of the
people. Let the people themselves take this oues-
.on IN nand, anu our country would be united
IN the North we have demagogues who don't
speak the voice of the people; in the South they
nave oeinagogues who never speak the voice OF
selves sf A' 'Neiii-
Mr. B. went on to speak Of the obnoxious per
sondI II perry oiils, which he claimed ought to be
repealed; but while saying so, he wonld state

MT b. said the republican party was ready and
willing to enter into such COMPROMISES as would
be entirely satisfactory to the Border Slave states
ne alluded TO the pains that are taken to spread
ali over The South the speeches Of few crazy
abolitiOnsts, and held that the conservative re-
publicans are never heard, and that they are the

efn brethren will have little patience they will
