vile adjourned on Wednesday night, after
adopting an address declaring, among other
things, that they do not ask for any more

questions of labor and education, espec ially
in the South, need "recasting;" deprecate
the distinction made In the regular army
and the navy between white and colored
men; and express sympathy for the efforts
Of the Irish people to obtain their rights.
