DR.. Lauenstein, Rev. Simon Hecht
and G. F. Bolle. Esq we're appointed
a Committee on Resolutions.
During the absence of the commit

Maier, that gentleman came forward
and said that it was not the province
OF this meeting to investigate the
causes of this war. but to give our
brothers moral support and enccur-
agement.
Mr.. Maier spoke at some length,
expressing an ardent desire and hope
that the time would come when all
Germans, South and North, would be
united under one grand German
Union. (Applause.)
Mr.. Tomhemelt had said that
there we're Germans who sympathize
with France but he had IS yet found
none, but he doubted not that there

sion to his feelings and knew of no
way of doing so except to take part in
the conflict which be wished he could
do. [Applause.1

that like Mr.. Maier, he could rot ex-

deep, hence his words would be short.

enemy, France, taught them in times
past, that his encroachments must be
promptly checked.
