REPUBLICANS OF THE SEVENTH WARD -Pur-
suant to adjournment, the straight out Republi-
cans Of the seventh Ward assembled at Potomac
Hall last night. and were called to order by Mr..
J f. Elva1s, chairman Of fhe previous meeting
Mr.. Elvsns had some dinidence in taking the
chair this evening; a meeting of men, protesting
20 be unconditional Union men, had assembled
here on Thursday evening last, and Il might be
come the duty OF this meeting to look into the
proceedings at that meeting, and see bow far
they were unconditional Union men. That as
sembly had resolved to do away with and ignore
the senate Of the United States, by giving all
IN theyx wi fly tn 10
away with the House Of Representatives next;
and we must also consider whether we can athl-
late with party who at every opportunity and
on all occasions, bring In the everlasting aiggsr
Mr. Garrett regretted that this meeting was not
90 large the previous one; he had not seen IL
announced In the Rspxb!ieoH, and be therefore
moved an adjournment for two weeks. and that
the meeting be announced In the Republican and
Star two days previous.
Mr.. BOYD asked MIR. Garrett to withdraw his
motion for a moment; be wanted to have the reso-
buttons OF the previous meeting read and endorsed
by this meeting. The democratic call was gotten
up In peculiar way, and II was very necessary
that the people should understand the principles
OF the republican party The country had been
blinded with the learned dust which the demo-
cr5tic party had thrown into It's eyes. That party
had ruined the country, and they were set OF
thieves and robbers when they were in power.
The great men, tie leaGers Of that (the democrat
ic) party were Of the worst kind. The call Of
last Thursday asked the attendance of all opposed
TO republicans, but when they met they said that
was accidental, and said they wished tn ignore
party. That was an old and hackneyed cry. The
democrats had had the power 30 lcng that they
were very 10th TO give II up now. We must take
notice Of all these things and frown upon them,
and therefore he wished the resolutions Of the
previous republican meeting endorsed at this one
When these creatures who call themselves I'M
Conditional Union men want to get power thew
carry Union on their backs and front while all
the time they are helping secession. He did not,
however, wish TO charge the gentlemen who met
ThuPal3V NIGHT M
was time the republicans took position. Unless
they Were active tire democrats would again be
successful. We must bestir ourselves for the
election
Mr.. Evans said he had the pleasure or mistor-
tune to attend Thursdays meeting, and he did
not think the resolutions then adopted would
agree with Mr.. Lloyd's professions They looked
toe much TO Cancellation. That union Of Union
lists for the sake Of the Union, sounded queer to
him; when II was conditional, he wanted a con-
ciliation for the salvation Of the Union His idea
Of unconditional Unionism was, not TO stop at any
conditions. As Republican he was perfectly
satisfied with what the President had dom; and
being fully satisfied that nothing detrimental to
the counirY's interests would be done in future,
he was willing to endorse everything. We must
determine how far we will sustain the platform
and nominations Of Thursday; and we must also
determine whether we will endorse theig resolu-
ton In reference TO education, and thus virtually
attempt 70 do away with the United States Senate.
The Republican resolutions had been once adopt
ed, and he thought IL improper to reendofse
them.
Mr. Boyd begged leave to differ First meet
ings are sometimes mere committee; but as n
appeared to be the wish of the meeting, he would
withdraw bis resolution.
MIR. Bacon thong ht IL would be entirely out Of
place to endorse the resolutions at this meeting.
Mr.. CARROTS motion prevailed, and the meeting
adjourned for two weeks.
The resolu ton referred to by Mr. Elvans, al
attempting TO do away with the U. s. Senate IL as
follows:
RssOlvsd, That in lieu OF the Senate bill pro.
viding for schools for the negro children Of this
city, this meeting recommends that the councils
In passing the tar bill for the ensuing year re-
duce the taxes on the property Of negroes, 10
omit part OF the tax now set apart for school
purPOses."l
as precisely the same number 1877 attended the
meeting Last night as on the previous one II
would seem that the 4" straight outsn Of the
Seventh Ward may be set down ct that figure.
