albany. Feb 12.-rhe Independent Republicans,
who held the Neat meeting IN IweddIe
Hall last night, to protest against the
holding Of the primaries for the Utica
Convention, after only six hours notice, refuse
to accept the compromise proiercd by the kepuolI-
can General Committee. The result of their acton
leaves without doubt, therefore. the complexion o1
the Albany delegation at the Convention. 1t was
for General Grant for President, and will continue
10 be for him alone.
To-day Committee Of Thirteen, appointed at the
meeting last night issued an address to the
Republican voters of Albany, in which they
severely criticisc the committee and assert the
unfaitncss Of their compromise.
In his speech last evening, George Dawson, the
chairman, said

The committee of thirteen appointed at tho Re
publican Indignation meeting held IN Iweddle Hall
last evening. met tonight. In view oi the refusal
Of the Republican General Committee to order new
primaries in all paris Of the county, II was
proposed by some that primaries should be
held outside Of the party organization and
'contestng delegation be sent to the Utica Con
ycnton. THIS proposition was considered unwise,
however, by % majority of the committee, AMI
resolution was finally passed that the committee
should appear in a body before the Utica Conven-
ton, make n statement showing the inadequate
amount Of time given between the announcement
aud the holding of the primaries, and also describe
the condition of the party organization IN TINS
county. with view to the convention taxing some
steps for its reform alton.
