THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.

| Meeting of the Joint COmmittee-DentE
of General ID w. Administration
of Respect Adopted.
Last evening the three Liberal Repub
lican committees met in joint session, pur
suant to adjournment, at Riley's Hotel, cor
ner of Dryades and Common streets, at half
past seven o'clock.
Ex-Governor P. o. Hebert was called to
the char
Emerson Bentley was chosen secretary
pro TEN.
| On motion of General Thomas Harris, it
was resolved that an executive committee
of nine members be selected, three from
the Greeley and Brown, of the St. Charles
Theatre meeting, three from the Liberal
Republican party, and three from the Ger
man Liberal Republicans, who shall be
empowered to act with plenary powers
relative to the details of the ombined or
ganization of all the elements of the
Greeley and Brown party, and to take such
steps as they may deem necessary for the
furtherance of the interests of the party;
said committee shall report from time to
time to their respective separate organiz-
atiOns.
The following resolutions, offered by Pro-
fessOr Alexander Dimitry, were then unani-
mOusly adopted:
WHEREAS, By visitation, against which
we dare not murmur, yet one which we un-
utterably feel, it has entered the DEGREES of
Providence to call away from US, in the
fullness of his exertiOns for good, our dis
tinguished fellOw-citizen, General Daniel
w. Adams, late chairman of the Indepen-
dent Greeley and Brown Executive Com
mittee; and
Whereas, By so sudden a dispensation,
the dearer and better interests of our i'm
mediate community, as well as those of the
State at large, have, as we believe, lost the
powerful services of a useful, hOnOred and
meritOriOus champion, ever ready at all
times, in every way and under all circum-
stances, truly and fearlessly to vindicate
their rights; therefore be it
ReSOLUed, That in sympathizing with all
of our fellOw-citizens who, bound with us
to the prosperity of the State, lock on those
exemplars of personal worth, civic virtue,
and patriotic devotion, which eminently
marked our deceased friend, as monuments
of social welfare and public liberty, we
deeply, keenly mourn the premature de-
mise of distinguished member of society,
who, in every regard, so fifty and justly
asserted his claims to the respect, affection
and gratitude of sorrOwing fellow-citizens.
ReSOtged, That in so timeless death, the
cause of constitutional liberty, which he
had ever so ably and faithful upheld, and
to which but yesterday, as it were, he had
renewed the service of his brain, heart and
hand, might have acknowled a check, were
it not that we, his late cO-wOrkers and now
survivors, feel that he has left us a work to
be dOne-in which he would have held the
front-a work of duty and of patriotism,
which we are pledged to carry out in CRATE
full remembrance of the illustriOus dead.
ResOloed, That a copy of the preamble
and resolutions be transmitted to the fam
lily of the deceased as evidence at once of
our sympathies in their bereavement and
testimonials of the great esteem and living
regard which were his in life, and which
are now in sOrrOwful tribute rendered and
promised to his memory in death.
On motion it was also resolved that
copies of the resolutions be presented to all
the newspapers of New Orleans for publioa-
ton.
The committees then adjourned subject to
the call of their respective chairmen.
