The Unconditional Union Men Of the First ward
assembled Wednesday evening, at o'clock in the
dining room Of Mr.. Charles Klotz's restaurant, on

Of Mr.. Charles L. Lawrence as chairman, and Mr..

Temperance Hall, on Friday evening, May the ist.
The second resolution was in substance the same
AS The foregoing, but contained no pledge to sup
port the Administration. A discussion arose as 10
the meaning and order OF precedence of these res

DR.. Magruder insisted that the latter should be
taken as substitute for the former. He was op-
posed to pledgng oneself TO the support Of any

country alone, and was one Of that class who dis

mnndcd by General sickcls, as a sample of the
troops composing the Army Of the Potomac.
The reviewing party consisted of the follow.

summate actor In his delineations OF the whims
and fancies Of Rover-the lightest of all light
comedy characters. 1t was remarked by the ju-
diciouS critics that all the parts were admirably
hlledi and the cast Of the piece and the perform:
ance spoke volumes for the tact and ability Of L.
Grover, Esq, the manager. We are glad to learn
that Mr.. Adams remains another week. Dan
