i ould care for all the people of the country.
II people Of this District were not enjoyin Z
Seli-goyernment. as many in the county were
black men, but white men. He believed tn
General Government should give TO every man
in The District the right to WELD political power.
On the great idea Of self-government he de-
manded that right for all. Was it no. firss the
duty of the people to bring to bear upon the
lawn making power their influence, to give to all
IN this District the right to WELD political power?
Ihe best men of the land should be folnd here
at the capital; men of intellectual cultare, mo-
raj men, that their influence might be felt by
every one throughout the country. (Applause.
The District should be made the agent of tie
gjvernment 6 to do ten thousand things which
congress could not do itself. The territory of
the District may belong to Congress, but Con-
gress belongs to the people Of the United States,
and it was the duty OF Congress to give us here q
good government, The men who grow here
ought to be model men of the land.
On constitutional grounds he saw no objection
Z, TINS measure He was well aware tnat the
Constitution provided that Congress should have
exclusive legislation, but that me ant only TO see
that the legislation was i'm harmony with Jaws
of the land. He wanted young colores men to
compete win young white mer, not i'm these
enlarged form of goverrlnent nronos.sd bv this
bill. He wanted the cCiored people here TO favor
this bill. The District should be made a model
for the country. tApplause.l
REMARKS OF CLINTON LLOYD.
MT. LiOyu tnen calieu tne previous on his res
olution. He thought the bill had been perfected
by a competent committee, and there was no
necessity for going into the bill by detail. But
two classes of people had enjoyed exclusive
legislation by Congress; one was the people OF
this District, and the other the savages of the
wilderness. Laughter and applause.l With
the latter some Improvement had been made.
They were being educated; manufactures es-
tablished; resources developed, &c. But with
the former the Washington canal and Centre
Market-hOuse were all the District could boast
of. lLaughterl He was considered the most radi-
cal kind of Republican; but if il was anti
Republican to favor the Territorial measure he
was not a Republican.
The vote being taken the resolution of Mr.
Lloyd was adopted, with one dissenting voice.
Gen. A. Grant urged that meetings be called
in every ward to urge the passage of the bill by
Congress The people understood it now, and
must fight it through.
Mr.. Lloyd explained that this mat ter was be-
fore the Campaign Committee, and would be
attended to. Adjourned.

To THE PoINT.-The point of the following,
which we take from the New York Times of
the 10th ult, must be obvious to tho most
obtuse:
At time when SO many English journals
are crying out for Oppressive measures"
against the Irish, it may be interesting to re-
call the serious outrages which have been
committed in Ireland during the last two years
In lS68 four landlords or their agents were
killed, and three others fired at. There
was in addition the affair known as the s'Bally-
eohey ARRAY" in Tpperary, in which two
persons were shot dead (of whom Mr.. Scully
was onc) and four others wounded. In the
following year (lSj9) eight landlords or their
representatives were fired at and nine farmers
or land agents shot or beaten to death. We
are far from desiring to eXtenuate these crimes,
but can any one pretend that they demonstrate
the necessity of proclaiming martial law in
lreland-which is what people mean when
they talk of repressve measurcsH ? We might
with mnch reason propose to place New
York under martial law, because thirty cases
of murder or attempted murder took place in
the city or vicinity in the month of January
last.
