fifty, which says; at becomes our duty to
state that the address adopted at the mass
meeting held on the eighth instant, at Cen
trial Church in this city, and signed by T.
Morris, Chester and others, does not ex-
press or represent the opinions of the COM
mittee of fifty appointed at the same meeting,
for the reason that we are not yet prepared
to repudiate Republicans nor join the oppo-
nents. We pledge ourselves to support
Republican principles as represented by the
national party as long as it continues to
support and vindieate the equality of all
men. If the present State administration

just, we fursherpledge ourselves to give
it our legal and cordial support.
