The resolutions OF Mr. Bacon, offered at the
previous meeting, Were taken up. The reso-
lutions declare that the refusal of the right of
suffrage TO large class of native born Amer
leans IN the past has been at war with the
letter and spirit of the Declaration of Inde-
.pendence; that Mayor Richard Wallach is a
true representative of majority of the white
men of this city, and that the indecent haste
In which he called the special election by a
portion only of the citizens of this District, to
ascertain W neither they were willing to accord
TO all men the rights they claimed for them
selves evinced the ineffable meanness which
the system Of slavery mad impressed upoa b i'm
and his cOad jutOrs; that under the benign in
fuence of the legislation OF a loyal and patrl-
Otto Congress, they lock forward with hope
and confidence 10 the day when the Harpies of
this city, who have so leng preyed upon the
weak and defenseless, (mindfHl only of their
own ease and agrandizemeut,) shall have
ucket-Ot-Ieave and the places that now know
them shall know them no more forever.
VIM. p. Jones (colored) said that the COL
OTed people had been in helpless condition,
and they were glad that the white Repub-
Leans bad come TO their aid but IL did not
become them yet to be personal, and sug-
gested that the name of Mr.. Wallaeh be
stricken out and the word .'authorities'' used
George H. Newman (colored) said he did
not wish TO go behind the door. but would
stick up for principle. If MIR. Wallacn is
found W anung he will have to suffer, and he
would tell man to his teeth if he has trans
crossed.
Mr.. Il. Bacon explained that the resolution.
were not personal bar were founded entirely
on principle. II did not mean 10 say that Mr.
MalIaeh was worse than other men. The sys
tenn OF slavery had imposed the course he pur-
sued on him.
The resolution was Withdrawn.
Dr. Boyd rose to privilege question, and
called the attention of the meeting TO the fact
that he had been style in the Sunday Herald "a
street peddler." II the association considered
~ 10 ax-
tary they could elect another The Herald had
attacked HIM personally several times, and be
had been several times advised to sue the edI-
tor, but be had not come 10 a conclusion to do
so. Bat If thar con temptible sneak and coward
attempted II again he would take him before
the Courts or claim the privilege of dressing
him down with an oaken towel. He wouId
hereafter, hold him to a strict accountability
The Chair suggested that if the association
were satisfied with a peddIer tor secretary, IL
was nobody's business but their own.
Mr.. Barnes said a peddler secretary of
the association was as good a tailor for
President of the United States.
Remarks were made by Mr. Jos williams
OF Fredericksburg, - Harold, colored, DR.
Boyd, and the Chair, the latter giving the
colOred people some advice, telling them to
give every man as wide a scope as possible,
but not TO get OF the pavement and to be law
abiding.
The meeting Adjourned to next Thursday.
