W. J. Walker (colored) asked what advan-

DIR. Boyd answered that he did not tn nix il

Mr. G. s Hepburn moved to lay the subject
on the table; lost.
Mr.. Hepburn said he moved to Law on the
table because the subject was too big an ele-
plant to take by the horns and the association
Mr.. Reuben Bacon remarked that he could
not see any good TO be ACCOMPLISHED by the
passage of the resolutions, although he liked
the spirit.
= Harold (colored) urged that the col.
ored men bad right TO express their opinion.
W. j. Walker (eolored) remarked that with
his friend be thought the elephant was rather
large for the association TO grapple He had
no objection TO the sentiments expressed. but
as the eolored people now stand he doubted
the expedIency of adopting them. They mad

Dr. BOyd sain 1t might be true that the
elephant was large, but he was not afraid OF
II he had handled elephants, and elephants
bad handled hum, and ne would own il was
dangerous, but he had generally come out
head foremost. Andrew johnson had been ON
the back track ever since the noble Linc0ln's
death, and he believed that he was now con

the States, and II some steps were not taken
for the organization of loya militia, some day

making threars OF rising, and said they intend
to commence by hanging Thad Stevens, Sum

mat they mad commenced organizing their
militia ten months ago, and they were organ
lZIng cavalry as well as infantry.
Mr. L. a. Boswell (Mr. John son, colored In
the Chair,) said he was opposed TO the passage
OF the resolutions on the ground OF policy. He
did not beIieve that we would have an other re-
bellion, and secret militia was PLAYED out As
for military organization in Mary land he be-
heyed thai tn y could organize as they pleased
and that the eoIored men with the loyal whites
could whip them out. The association had
nothing TO do with the question OF impeach
ment, IL mad been organized for the purpose OF
reotemlng Inc city from the stigma which has
been resting upon II for years, and IL they
could get control of the city il would be the
best kind OF impeachment They had not got
control yet, and II may be years before they OBJ
tanned II. They had a right 10 petition as cit.
zens for impeachment, but TO adopt such reso-
inuons was preposterous. The, had much to
dc yet and they could do much towards gain

see the necessity OF Impeachment when we
