ing and prosperity to the State, believing
that the only true Test of Loyalty to the
Union is in actions and not in words.
Resolred, That the President by his
recent veto of the Bill entitled "ths
Civil Rights BILL passed by both
Houses of Congress, has given Us the
strongest assurance of his determination
to stand firmly by the Constitution. and
as far as he can thwart the measures of
those who would otherwise destroy it.
Therefore be it further
Resolrei, That we believe II is the
bounden duty Of every lover of his coun-
try at this particular crisis in our public
affairs, 10 rally around our noble Presi.
dent. and by our support to aid him all
we can in his manly efforts against O
radical Congress that seems disposed to
legislate for tho benefit of the negro
alone, to the total exclusion Of tie white
man, so that by our united support he
may be further encouraged to persevere
in the good work he has already begun.
The large and attentive audience was
addressed by Captain Andrews and Ma.
ior Yellott, of Martinsburg, in eloquent
and forcible speeches, declaring the poll.
cy of the radicals destructive of the
union of the States and opposed-to peace
and harmony.
The course of the radical party in this
State was discussed at some length, and
their policy and acts held up in their
true light before the people, showing
that they were bitterly opposed to the
restoration policy of the President, and
instead of harmonizing the people Of
this State and restoring peace and con-
cord, were laboring with all their might
to prevent peace and to establish gov
ernment by small minority, by passing
unjust and unconstitutional laws.
Rc8olred, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the following
papers, viz: National IRtsHigencer, Balti'
more San, Baltimore Commercial, Netp

Gold exhibits decided weakness.
The price opened at 1917 and fell steadily

vious question on the passage of the bill,

vi0us question on the passage of the bill
notwithstanding the objections Of the
President, in order to bring the HOnst
| to an immediate vote on the bill. -
| Mr. Finck, of Ohio, wished to ask the
chairman Of the Judiciary committee
| whether some discussion on the question
would not be allowed. -.------ =
Mr.. Wilson, of iIowa-It is not my in.
tention to allow any if the House will
| second the previous question. The bill
has been already discussed in the HOuse
long enough. 49, s-- ~-.-- -.-
Mr.. Finck-But events have occurred
since, that warrant at least some discus
sion on SO important a matter as that
trust the House will allow some de
bate.
The Speaker-.fhis wasnot the time
| to settle this question. The gentleman
from Iowa merely gives notice that he
intends to demand the previous question
on the passage of the bill on Monday.
1t will be for the House then TO second
or refuse the demand q
Mr.. Elridridge, of Wisconsin, said ::
1t seems to me that the gentleman from
Iowa ought not to insist upon pnshing
the matter through without discussion
The House has certainly not been very
Industrious for the last two or three
weeks Almost every day il had ad-
journed earlier than it had been in the
habit of doing, and certainly there is no
necessity for pushing a matter of this
important character through under the
previous question. 1t is an absurdity
that it should be so. 1t has not been
done in the Senate full discussion has
been had there. To push it through the
House under the previous question
would be disgrace to the House.
Mr.. Wilson-That will be matter for
the House to determine l shall move
the previous question, and if the House
shall support me, we willitake a vote
Immediately upon the. reading OF the
veto If that bs a disgrace TO the
House, the House Will take the disgrace
upon itself
