ALTOGETHER
An adjourned meeting of the National
.OPIDOcTdLlcy ASSOSldLlOn' Was lPI1 last night
in Parker's Hall. and was called to order a
little after eight o'clock by the pres ident, Chas.
Mason, eX-Commissioner of Patents. In the
absence of the regular secretaries, Mr.. VIM.

900. Some IS new members signed the consti-
tuition, among whom were Thomas Thornley,,
John J. MulloT, VIM. NJ. Morgan, Randolph
lnuIa m RI harIaS II
and other well. known citizens.
After the new members had signed the Con
stitution, MIR. Thomas b. Florence said he
noticed in the hall one of the greatest cham
pions OF Constitutional liberty in the Senate of
the United States. man who did not fear
upon all occasions TO express his sentiments.
TAppIause.l He referred to the honorable
Senator from Delaware, MIR. Salisbury.
Loud cheers were given for Mr.. Salisbury,
ana after the applause had subsidized he took
the stand, and started out by saying that he
could not address the assembly as his ssfellow-
Citizens TOR this is a day when white man
has no rights in this DIstrict-all is reserved
would be implying the niger was such also.
But he could address them as .'gentlemen-f a
title Whic this Administration could not take
away from them. Applause
The speaker then proceeded to quote from
Millions "Paradse Lost" and said, unlike one
of that authors heroes, his (Saulsbury's) voice
was not for war. [Applause.J 1t is for peace
Renewed applause.l The speaker then begged
pardon for what he was about To say; but he
could not help referring to the time when he at
his mothers knee learned the prayer, "Our
Father who art in Heaven and the next thing
he learned was the hymn commencng"'T
midnight on Judea's Plain and from them he
learned that there should be I" Peace on Earth
good will 10 man" That is what the Demo.
Gratis OF the present day believe, and their cry
Is peace, peace; and they appeal for the cessa-
ton of strife which is striking down brethren
in the Land. Applause This platform is
metropolitan here, where the corrupt Admins
tration has full sway, Applause nor in New
York where shoddy and contracts rule. The
speaker had but one platform, and that was an
immediate and unconditional cessation OF this
most ungodly war. loud applause He
talked thus plainly because he talked TO men
who had deep interest in this country, and
lie would have them know his true sentiments.
IApplause.l The Democratic party never was,
and never can be anything but Union party,
and because 1t is Union party 1t is peace
party.
The speaker then proceeded to tell how the
country had been built up, and claimed all the
honor for the democracy, which he said had
s.raised the torchlight of liberty upon every
mountain top" and kept il brightly burning.
But IN an evil hour, after our country had
grown mighty, the public brain became craZed
: certain politicians desired power and their
T1inions desired contracts; and corrupt party
came into power, fapplause, and the cOnse-
quence is brother has raised his hand ainst
brother: and now, when LOCO of our brethren
are dying or being killed daily, man sits jo-
king at the other end OF the avenue, and rules
this mighty natiOn-a man who never had the
first instinct of statesInanship. Loud ap-
plausel
The speaker said he had opposed secession
and disunion because ii would bring ruin and
desolation upon this happy land, and would
bring mourning to otherwise happy homes.
But when il was said let US go TO fighting to
Keep this Union together, he was opposed to it.
IApplause.1 The Union cannot be restored,
ard the Constitution cannot be preserved by
wa. IApplause.l Let the Democracy of the
country therefore now raise the standard OF
opposiiion and cry aloud peace ~ "Peacer'

one thought the Constitution could be pre-
served by vigorous war, that one had read
The Constitution and understood il in differ
eat manner than the speaker did. He did not
believe any such thing could be accomplished
and therefore he counselled peace. Renewed
spplause.l
Mr Thos b. Florence then took the floor
and said the meeting had been called for the
purpose manly OF considering the expectancy
OF sending delegates to Chicago. 1t was now
