and Mr.. I. j. Brown acted as secretary.
Before the meeting was called to order
number OF persons who had left Parkers Hall
after the Democratic Association had ad-
iourned sine die came up in front of the hall
and amused themselves by cheering for
Mcclellan, but no act of violence was COM
mitted by them, and after a little while they
left the neighborhood.
The CHAR stated that ssour Democratic
friends had satisfied themselves as to the re-
suit, and had yielded up their hall" APP
plausel
one knew who holds their funds
vOice.-They hadn't any. Laughter
Mr.. Wise stated, in regard to the proposed
Union celebration, that he did not see any rea-
son why torch-l light procession should not be
gotten up. He did not see why every man IN
the District should not help TO celebrate the
election OF Abraham Lincoln. 1t was no use
for Washingtonians to cling TO slavery when
slavery was eead. Those who had drawn the
sword against the Administration must perish
by the sword; for our Saviour says, "Whoso-
ever shall draw the sword must perish by the
sword"
Mr.. Wise was at Rockville on election day,
and saw how things were going on there. The
young men voted for MIR. Lincoln. An old
man voted the Democratic ticket, and his four
sons all voted against hlm-they were tired of
slavery, and he believed the young men every
where were tired Of slavery. He told of
woman there who, the day after the new con-
stitution was adopted, placed her slaves in d
four horse wagon aud sent them to this Dis
tr1ct, as she said, "for Father Abraham to take
care Of" In his opinion she had better have
kept them near her, as she will find IL impos-
sible TO work her farm, which ultimately, she
will have 10 sell out to white farmers He
moved the appointment OF a committee to make
arrangements for a suitable demonstration ON
Monday night next
The Chair stated that arrangements had al.
ready been made for demonstration on Thurs
day night, (to-night) The club will assemble
At ~ o'clock, and proceed 10 the Presidents,
and the members OF all Union clubs were in
'vited TO join. 1t would not however, be a
torch light procession, for ont of quo torches
belonging to the club but 30 could be found.
MIR. Dorsett asked if the club would follow
the example Of the Democrats and adjourn
sine die, or was 1t proposed to keep up the or
Mr.. Plant moved that when the club adjourn
1T be to meet at the call of the president and
executive committee.
MIR. Wise moved that the association meet
once month until after the June election. The
club should help 10 carry the city for the Ad-
ministration and Government, and he urged
that the organization be kept up. He quoted
the scriptural account of casting out devils,
and said that the club should cast out all devils
at the next election.
MIR. a. e.. Richards said it seemed that the
object Of the club had been accomplished in the
election Of Abraham Lincoln. Ii was out of the
question for the club TO attempt to operate in a
municipal election, for nineteen out of twenty
of the citizens of Washington were opposition
men. As for keeping up the meetings. they
devil got NTH the club after the election.
Thequeston was taken on Mr.. Wise's amend
ment; and il was lost
MIR. Plants motion was agreed to.
Mr.. Wise asked how much money was on
hand.
The secretary replied, 81 have s1l, and have
Mr.. Wise, mot having heard the latter part
OF Mr.: Browns remark - Eleven dollars
that all.
MT Brownies, eleven dollars Now YOU
give enc, and that will make twelve. Laugh
Ter
Mr.. Wise addressed the meeting, urging the
mem hers TO give and have faith. ssBy their
works We shall know them"
MIR. Brown here presented q subscription
paper, and asked MIR. w. to show his faith by
his works; and Mr.. W., seeing that the laugh
nrOmOtiy cOmniipd
Mr.. W. continued his speech some time
longer, and most OF the required amount was
raised.
Rev. Mr. Gaylord, Chaplain of Campbell
Hospital, was introduced, and made an elo-
quent congratula.ory address on the result of
tie election.
Mr.. Wise followed Mr. Gaylord, and re-
marked that one reason why the citizens of
Washington were not better friends of the Ad-
ministration was on account of their treatment.
The District had been taxed, and they had
paid their taxes, ana had been called on for
troops and almost filled their quota and the
citizens stood ready to spend the last dollar
and send the last man TO protect the Govern
ment. that the Capitol may stand here and the
Union stand until the last day. In the opinion
OF some, citizen of this District was not en-
titled to common respect, and in one case he
heard OF an assistant secretary (and he was
glad ne was not secretary who stated that
be would not entertain petition from citizen
OF the District And now as the Republicans
were IN power again, he hoped Washington
would get her rights and that the District
might be treated as a territory, at least with
power TO send a representative to Congress
He would work for the next four years for OBJ
tanning this right, and he hoped before they
would pass we may have a representative on
the floors of Congress.
MT Wise closed by asking If the money had
been made up, and being ans wered in the mega
tive, he passed around his hat
Some few election dispatches, confirmatory
of the previous good news, We're read, after
which the meeting adjourned.
