constitution, and stated the name of the associ-
alton was the jackson Democratic Association.
MI X, ). Davis said there were some portions
OF the address he could not indorse. They all
knew that nothing was made by calling people
haTd names, and he thought the people of tue
country would laugh at the association when
they read the address. Ii did not seem proper
to him for the association to call people ''carDst
baggers," &c, when We have had the same kiHd
OF government or worse here. The address TO
him read more like the opinion Of Chas. O'COl-
ner, Re yerdy johnson, or Judge Black on the
louisiana affairs. Mr.. NoTris.-"Eery high
authOrity."1 What viii the people say when
they read the address and CONSIDER how the Dis
trIct has been robbed by the same class of car
pet-bsggers as had operated in the South
They will say "D-n such people, they had
better look to themselves" They should call
the attention of the country 20 the manner in
which we have been ruled by people from other
places, how the taxes have been heapei up on
us and property ruined.
WHAT HAS THE PROPHECY
Of Isaiah or the prophecy of Daniel Webster to
90 WITH the people when something better can
be found within three squares to 90 before the
country With. Within that distance thew will
hrd widows property on the verge of cOnffca-
ton by reason of general and special taxes i'm
poted o. the rings. 1t had been been shown that
men were able TO give S91 900 for a contract,
al he would cay strike out all such stale utter
erces as "Tbe price of liberty is eternal vlgi-
lance" and insert
TIRE PRICE OF A CONTRACT IA S9T. OOov

It was this and it was shere nonsense TO use such
terms IS leagues OF plundereTs" as To other
The Ohairman.-"what is your motion, Mr..
Dayis?"
Dir. Davis continuing: Ny motion will be to
refer the address to a committee for revision,
ard with instructions 20 embOdy the grievances
of the District. He wished it to 90 out that the
PEOPLE Of the District are worse ground down
to-day than the people of ST. Petersburg or
COnstanunople. The whole address resds to
him like an extract from one OF Prof. Kenue-
dy's lectures before the Law School.
MIR. q. p. Culver said the motion WAS suusr-
huOus, as the tax PAYERS association, to ghor
the subject OF the grievances of the District be-
loDged, was considering that subject.
Judge MoOre.-I would Ike to inGui il IL
Isaiah or Webster's prophecy the gentleman
does not like?
Mr.: Dayis.-G would leave it TO the court
Judge MOoTe.-NOthing can be more apropos
Ii an lsaish's words: "The valleys Sd all blossom
as the rose" sc. He was sure
ISAIAH WAS A GOOD MAN
both were good men.
MI. H. 5. Davis said that at the preliminary
meeting the question came up as to the griev-
aIces OF the District and it was decided that it
WAS not proper subject for the association. He
hoped the address would be adopted, with the
Quotations of Isaiah and Webster.
The motion of Mr.. h. s. Davis was lost. and
the resolution of Mr.. Moore, adopting the ad-
dfess, was carried unanimously.
Judge Moore offered a resolution directing
IN Chairman to appoint a standing committee
II. 5. Davis.-That will take all the democ.
Tacy out or the members; they are able 10 Judge
to- themselves.
The resolution was Withdrawn.
Judge Moore offered resolutions declaring that
the general government possesses no powers not
Delegated by the states; that all powers not del
egated belong to the states or people, and dep-
recating "the radical doctrine of centraliza.
tlon" as dangerous to the liberties of the caun
iOurned.
