Buffalo DemocratEditor: Carl de Haas Thursday, September 27
Meeting
Yesterday, Wednesday September 26th, a meeting was held in Dudley Hall by the adopted citizens of Buffalo without regard to nationality, religion or prior political affiliation. At 7 PM the meeting organized itself with the nomination of C.F.[sic] Brunck as President with the following citizens for Vice-President: Patrick Milton, Henry L. Gillett, Phil. J. Heimlich, Franz Händel, Alb. Dellenbach, Jacob Scheu, James Bond, McKay, Geo. Voltz, Robert Hatfield, John Ellicott. Christ. Larbie, John Kelley. The nominations for Secretary were: John W. Murphy, Ald. Weber, Patrick Coffee, Dr. Hauenstein, Thomas Merrigan, Dan. Darcy, Chas. De Haas. F.C. Brunck delineated the purpose for the meeting: He raised the point that the adopted citizens had united due to extraordinary circumstances stemming from the assault of the Know-Nothings and that they had been force to adapt the motto "Help yourself" to their own purposes. A party may have risen up whose purpose is to rob the citizenry of its constituted rights as guaranteed by the State and US constitution and to persecute adopted citizens out of religious intolerance. In each state in which the Know-Nothings are currently in power blood may flow at the voting polls. One may be a Democrat for twenty years and have no intention of giving up his convictions; to even less degree could he ask his opponent to give up his. Each may support the State Ticket which he considers to be the best one, but in regard to the County and City Tickets all opponents of Know-Nothings and Temperance candidates must unite to a man in order to secure victory. The hall was filled to capacity with its audience and the number of those present may have reached 1200. Voting took place and a committee of seven men was appointed. The committee is composed of the following:

After Mr. Hughes was escorted from the meeting the following resolutions were passed by the appointed committee with Geo. Bryan speaking in the English language. He gave a brief but powerful speech in which he stipulated the grounds for the resolutions; the same speech was then delivered in German by J.[F.?] A. Georger. Since we have placed this value on our invaluable freedom, so we declare here our unchanged dependence on the institutions of our adopted fatherland and our firm resolve to oppose every attempt to curtail our constitutional rights. Thus it is |

Tuesday, September 27, 1855: Page 2, column 2 top resolved, that Know-Nothingism runs contrary to the spirit of our republican government, it negates the tenets upon which the Republic is supported and it threatens republican principles especially with regard to domestic and world-wide issues. Resolved, that it is the intention of this assembly, made up of the adopted citizens of Buffalo without regard to religion, nationality or previous political affiliation, to unite and support candidates who are resolutely against Know-Nothingism; unity brings strength and through union of purpose and activity we may prevail over our common foe. Resolved, that we shall take this as an appropriate opportunity to express our opposition to the tenets upon which the Temperance Law is based since it limits personal freedom. Though we view intemperance as a great evil, sound human reason understands that the history of such evil may be better treated by moral means rather than laws of prohibition and we will support only those candidates who are opposed to such laws. Resolved, that unity among ourselves and with all our native citizens, who are in agreement with us on these issues, is the best way to defeat our opponent. We invite those of the two most prevalent political parties who are opposed to the Know-Nothings and the Maine Temperance Law, or any other Temperance laws, to join with us and appoint through their respective political organizations and conventions joint candidates for city and county office, whom we will support on Election Day. Resolved, that the president will appoint a committee of four, of which he shall be the fifth, whose duty it is to call another meeting of the adopted citizens in case one or the other major political parties does not work towards this proposed union. Further attempts were made by the above-mentioned gang to disrupt the meeting but they were thwarted by the acceptance of the resolution by a significant majority. A motion was made to adjourn the meeting.
W. Morphey, Ald. Weber
