lution on the table.
Ar. Holmes moved that IL b. referred 10 the
executive committee.
MIR. G. w. White (white) hoped the resoIu-
tlon would be rejected. He was IL favor OF
inviting all unconditional Union men TO Faeat
with the club and make the nominations, bat
he was opposed TO lodging the whole assocla-
alton in the hands of a committee.
Mr. j. =. Martin (white) said he liked the
resolution, but he did not want the Iocofoco
party and their aids and allies te particip.te
in that meeting. He thought all Republican
voters should b. inyited-men who supported
the Thirty ninth Congress.
Mr.. Beron thought the resolution as plain
as language could make IL. He thought there
was great responsibility on the people or this
city. The liberties OF the people OF the whole
globe depended on the foundation which would
be laid by the Republicans IN June. He
wanted the members OF the ASSOCIATION 10
understand that the first Monday OF June was
the birthday OF freedom. The club should not
be hasty In making their nominations, as their
defeat on the first Monday of June would be a
stigma which would rest upon them for ali
time.

licans would vote Republican ticket, club or
no club. He had always been a Republican.

10 him by looking towards HIM.
MT Semmes said he did not.
Mr.. Holmes thought the resolution was In
tended for a few men who were OF too thin
kin 10 participate with the club, and were
ashamed 10 he seen with colored men.
Mr.. ]. ;. Martin called the gentleman 20 or
der. He had often heard him make use of such
language, and IL iHjured the association. He
had denounced Gen. Tompkins as a copper
head, when il was well known that Gen. 7.
was good Union man.
Mr.. Holmes said he did not say Gen. Tomp-
kins was copperhead, but that he heal So
and he would not let a colored man come out
TO register.
The vose being taken the resolutions were
laid on the table.
Mr.. Beron said by rejecting this resolution
you have virtually declared -
Mr.. Hslmes arose 10 point OF order. There
W as nothing before the meeting and the gentle-
man was out of order.
Mr.. Beron to Mr.. Holmes.-The re Gentleman is
always in order
