Judge Mason, in taking the chair, said that
at the adjournment of the last meeting il was
not expected to meet again under such fayora-
bic circumstances, but he was glad to see so
many familiar faces. He understood that this
meeting was called for the transaction of bust
ness and to take steps for the further action of
the association. ~
Mr. Florence thought it was source of great
qualification that so many could meet here to-
gether TO endorse a man who stood upon the
broad fundamental principles of our present

tomorrow lto-day,) and there were two agents
here from Pennsylvania who endorsed the SEN
tIments of that eminent man. Andrew Johnson
and they wished to get the cooperation of this
society In securing the votes of the Democratic
soldiers. As far ascertained the soldiers
were Democrats sustaining the humane policy
OF the President in his efforts to restore the
Union, and there was not a Democrat who had
not feelings of gratitude towards Andrew John
son for the policy he was pursuing. When the
association last met to pass resolutions ex-
pressiye of their feelings at the assassination of
President Lincoln they had asconfdence in the
man who was TO succeed him that has not been
disappointed. He moved the appointment of a
committee TO draft resolutions expressive of
the views of the association in the course pur-
sued by the President and a committee to OBJ
tain hall for future meetings.

Mr.. A Noble, Commissioner from PennsyI.

these polls are to be opened, his opposition

want many assistants, he believed there
would be fair poll, as his opponents assured
him there should be.
number of gentlemen here came forward
and volunteered to assist the agents in getting
the votes of the Democratic soldiers.
Mr.. r. A. Aiken, in a few remarks intro
adopted. They declare that the Constitution
leaves the question OF the elective franchise to
the several States: that the attempt of the Re-
publican party TO overthrow this constitu-
uOnal proyiso rs revolutionary, disloyal and
reasonable; that the doctrine of the Republic
can party which holds that the seeding States
have been actually out of the Union, and that
they should be treated as conquered provinces,
&c Is utterly al variance with the Constitu-
ton: recognizing the President as statesman
able TO rise above the trammels of party dicta-
ton, and that his administration Of public AFT
fairs entities him TO cordial support; and con-
graduating the Connecticut Democrats upon
their recent triumph over the Republican par
