Dlck Rlehardson spoke nrat. In his usual
style. Ho laid all the blamo Of the war upon
tic Administration andthe Republican party.
Ho wns In fayor Of every constitutional means

Mertick WAS followed by Marshall, who did
not 60 1t quite so strong, perhaps because llc
had not the gift Of the CAB to that degree that
"My Maryland Dick'' has. Marshall said tho
war was entirely owing to the obstinacy Of
cause Lincoln would not abdIcatc to allow
JEFF. Davis to step into the chair. Marshall
appears TO be the most solid man Of the lot
in point Of intellect, but is not man to make
+ striking impression upon the masses.
Marshall was followed By Goudy, who
'took the socks" off the others: He was in
favor Of bringing pressure upon Lincoln-a
sort Of morul suasion, suppose. # this
failed he was in favor Of the last resort, viz:
revolution.
After Goudy had got through, Hon. I. N. Nor
ris introduced the following resolution. TWAS
the only resolution offered by the Committee.
There were others under consideration, which
would come up at m adjourned meeting. As
well Us could gather from that which Morris
said, it appears the resolutions under consid-
esation contemplate some action, and the
Committee were divided rs to tho propricty
Of taking that action now or at some future
/ period. Query; Is that action revolutionary.
