At a meeting Of the friends Of the Reeu-
lar Opposition Ticket, held at Mechanics In
stitute on Monday evening, the slst ult., at
tention was called 10 publication in the
EUeaing Times, purporting to be q series
Of resolutions adopted at a meeting of the
Independent Party, which are impudently
put forth as the sentiments of that party-a
tub thrown upon the water to catch whales;
an arrogant assumption Of indignation at
acts which were committed in part by some
of the members of the ticket which they
now offer for the suffrages of the members
of our institution-an act which some of
them helped to consummate, and which, in
order to cover up and to escape from, they
have resorted TO the old dodge of raising the
cry "Stop thief" while running off with the
plunder.
The Regular Opposition Ticket was nomi-
mated by q committee, one of the members
of which is the author of the first anti-shell
resolution passed by any meeting of the
members of the Y. NJ. NJ. L. A., and
among whose supporters is the first
member of the Association who raised
his voice, in meeting of the Association,
against the Shells. Yet the Bogus Inde-
pendents claim the Anti-sheH Ticket as
theirs
Be IL therefore Resolved. That the resolu-
tions to which our attention has been called,
which purport to be resolutions of the Inde-
pendent party, can justly be styled, "The
hight of impudence."
Resolved; That the Regular Opposition
Ticket is the true Anti-shell Ticket; that our
| candidates, from President down throughout
the ticket, have been uniformly and consist
emily opposed to this unfortunate purchase
that they have ever regarded the debt, which
| was created in the purchase of these shells
as an incubus and burden upon the Society
and will use every honest and honorable
| effort to retire the bond, not by depreciatine
\ its value in the market but by the exertior
| of every effort in their power to retire thi
bond during the incoming year.
| ResoIUed: That in the candidate for Vice
President, on the Independent Ticket, WI
recognize one who served on the BoarC
| which made this purchase and saddled thi
debt upon the institution that two of tn,
candidates for Directors were on the sam
Board, and if, in consequence of frequent alb
sence from the Board, their votes are not re
corded against this purchase of shells, an,
the sale of the Institution, they gave thei
assent to said purchase and sale, and thei
mouths are, therefore, stopped.
ResolVed: That on the Canvassing Commit
tee, and among the actual supporters of tn
so-called Independent Ticket, we recogniz
a large majority of those who approved tn
purchase Of the shells when made that the
supported the Shell Ticket at the next cleo
ton, and have uniformly sustained til
Board in the purchase up to the presen
hour, when finding it unpopular among th
members of the Association, they have ha
holy horror for she'll and all marine an
mails and with the hope of creating a d,
cision in their favor, pull dewn with mao
dened zeal fabric which they assisted
rearing.
Res0IUed: That we appeal to the candC
and justice of the members of the Y. NJ.
L. A, to treat as it deserves, this attempt
seduce them to the support of a Ticket whic
has to resort to such shallow subterfuges
commend it to the support of the member
JOHN W. HARTWELL, Chairman.
