resolutions were read and adopted:
WHEREAS, The war being over and the
object of the war having been triumph
antly achieved; and whereas, with an
alacTity hardly to have been expected
from the traditional pride and impet-
uosity of the Southern people, they have
returned to their allegiance, in conform
ity at once with the invitation OF the
late President, and their duties as cltl-
Gems; and whereas, the sincerest and the
best efforts of the best men of the Re-
public have ever been given to the
preservation of the Union, their object
now should be it's reunion, on the basis
of our oft.tested and always sufficient
Constitution:
Resolred, That the recent mastery veto
of the President to a bill at once mon
strous in principle and detail commands
our admiration and gives us the crafty
ing assurance that the Chief Executive
of the nation possesses both genius and
courage for any emergency.
Resolred, That, thinking chiefly of his
SPACIOUS and patriotic efforts to unite
in enduring harmony the scattered ele-
ments of the national unity, the people
of Harper's Ferry and this section OF
country give the President their warmest
sympathy and most strenuous support.
After the above resolutions were read
and adopted, E N Andrews, Esq, OF
Martinsburg, was introduced to the
meeting and made a very eloquent
speech, which lasted about an hour, at
ter which Major Yellott was introduced
and spoke for about an hour. Calls were
then made for John O'Connell, who
came forward and addressed the meet
ing in his usual straightforward and ell
oquent manner MIR. 5 A. COX also made
very fine speech, which lasted about
half an hour
Resolutions were then adopted giving
a sincere vote of thanks to the gentle
men who had addressed the meeting,
and il was also resolved that the secre-
tary be requested to transmit minute OF

President Johnson was mentioned.
The speakers were serenaded in the
evening and otherwise entertained I'M
til a late. hour by several friends OF the
President.

The Memorial Association.

We invite attention to the impressive
appeal of Mrs. MCFARLAND, President of
the Richmond Memorial Association, to
the people of the south for aid in prose
cutting the noble purposes Of the Associa-
tion. To preserve the resting places OF
the heroic dead who were killed near this
city or died IN the hospitals here, should be
an object dear to the hearts of all southern
people. The cause in which they persisted
has indeed failed, and their survivors have
accepted the result as a settlement, and
given in their adhesion to the prevailing
Government in all truth and earneStncsS :;
but that neither changes the merit Of self
sacrifice of the dead, nor does it modify
the sentiment of admiration for their deeds,
or of gratitude for their heroic patriotism,
which they sealed with their liic'S blood.
In no part OF the habitablc globe, we i'm
aginc could this noble sentiment he enter
tanned with more ardor than amongst the
people Of the southern States.
There are sleeping in the grave near
this city some twenty thousand Of the late
Southern armicS--reprcScntati from
every State in the south. The people of
this city, especially the ladies, desire not
only To mark their places OF burial, but TO
protect them from dcsccration and dilap-
dation. The number of the dead being so
large, and this city being SO impoverished
by the terrible calamity of the 81 of April,
1853, We have not the means necessary to
this undertaking. This appeal for help in
the grateful and piouS undertaking is con
iidently made to our southern fcllow-citi-
zcnS. We are sure il will be literally re-
spondcd 10. We ask our contemporaries of
the press To- give wide circulation to Mrs.
MAcfARLAND's, address and add to il the
and OF their own generous rccommen
datouS.
