Mr.. 4. ]. Brown called the assemb,ape to
oraer at eight o'elock, and took occasion to
| briefly explain the objects or the organiza-
| ton, as SET forth in the above platform
| The first business before the meeting was
the adoption of the platform, as reported by
| Mr.. james M. Smith spoke strongly in fa.
| vor of the principles enunciated in the plat.
| form, and moved its adoption.
! Mr.. De Peyster Ogden thought the plat
| form was NOT explicit enough, and that it
| was necessary at the present time to state
| precisely what was contemplated nv the or.
| ganization. In conclusion Mr.. Ogden pro.
! guage OF the platform.
MIR. Clinton Rosevelt supported Mr. Ogden's
| views at some length, and expressed himself
as opposed to the last resolution referring to
the Monroe doctrine. Our government he
/ thought, was not able TO nforce that doc
trine at present, and it was only showing cur
teeth, without being able to bite, to enunci.
/ ate it now.
MT. Hutchins followed in an elaborat.

| in favor of it, and dissec,ing the argum
Of Messrs. Ogden and Roosevelt, which he

the principles of the platform. The question
