"UNcoNDITIOsAL UNION" MEETING IN THE
SECOND WARD.-A meeting was held last even
ing at the German Hall, on Eleventh street, for
the purpose Of organizing the Second Ward I'M
conditional Union Club Mr. G. H. Plant called
the meeting to order, and Mr.. A. G Hall was
made Chairman, and Mr.. w. F. Given, Secre-
tary.
After the Chairman had announced the objects
MI. Lewis Clephan. stated that he understood
the intention to be the organization Of Uncondi-
who should elect delegates to q general conven-
ton to nominate candidates for the principal
odces; the clubs to nominate candidates for ward
ofncers in their respective wards. He did not
regard the movement a strictly party matter,
but rather as a movement in which all who were
for the prompt and firm maintenance Of the Gov
eminent under all circumstances could take part.
IL was a well known fact that there were many
still holding places OF trust AID onsib ilty,

for the overthrow Of the Government, would now

whose loyalty there should not be shadow Of
doubt
Mr. C. then presented constitution, which be
stated was similar to one adopted by the Third
Ward; which was read for the Information OF the
meeting.
Mr.. G. hoped that toe further consideration Of

wards
Mr. H. Richards desired the preamble read.
He regarded that as being Of the utmost impOr-
lance. At the last election, In tome OF the wards,
persons had been elected TO the City Councils as
unconditional Union men who had shown but
little sympathy with the Government In Its efforts
TO suppress the rebellion In the coming election
men should be put In nomination who are not
only strongly in favor Of putting down the rebel
lion but also men who are willing that Congress
should use Its own judgment In legislatng for the
Interests of the people Of this District. Efforts had
been made 70 influence the National Legislature
IN the discharge Of its duty in this respect, but
all such efforts should be promptly frowned down
by every lsw-abidiBg and Union-loving citizen
Congress had made this city what Ii was, and II
became our duty to cheerfuily obey its lawful au-
thority.
The constitution and by laws were then taken
up and adopted by sections.
Mr.. Clephene then moved TO postpone the cleo
tiou Of officers TO the next meeting, and that the
oath OF allegiance TO the Government be then ad-
ministered to all the members; which was agreed

Mr.. COombs called the attention OF the m eting

suk'age 10 siX-mOnths residents. He had not
himself examined the subject, bat thought IL one
which the club should consider; and If in their
opinion the dill would be beneficial 10 the inter.
ests Of the loyal citizens, they should take some
measures to secure Its passage, and II otherwise
then they should endeavor to defeat II. IL such a
bill were passed, In bls opinion u woull allow
thousands OF persons here vote, which would
be cast for the candidates OF the Union clubs
Mr.. Richards suggested that some measure
should be taken tn prevent tie voting Of disloyal
persons. He had not heard that among the
various measures suggested to Congress that this
was urged at all Every dislOyal vote should be
ruled out, and none but MON men who would
take the oath OF allegiance should take part in the
election.
Mr. Shepherd stated that be was opposed TO Mr..
Coombs' suggestion as TO the six months resi-
dence. He thought the measure would be unjust
