The Uenoeratic, Suits Central Committee
Of Louisiana met yesterday IN New Orleans, to
adopt such measures is the recent events at
Charleston may demand
Itis believed tiat sle course of the Louis
lana delegates will 81 approved, and that they
will Be instructed to resume their seats in the
charieston- Baltimore Convenfion, if such
course is believed advisable by q majority of
those who adhere to the Majority Plat
form, with Instructions teanafntain the posi-
ton they have hitherto occupied. This
will prevent the State being represented by
set Of bogus delegates in the interest OF the
enemies of the South The regular delegates
will also, We hope, be accredited to the Rich
mond Conventisn when the sonnd sDem1Dcia-
81. 4 they 10 not make nomination, will con-,
eentrate Their forces and prepare for the de-.
cisive struggle on the 18th. :.
twill be borne in mind that the question
ofthe platform was re-opened after the with
drawal OF nine States, on the demand Of yr-
ginla and the other remaining Southern States.
We have but little hope that the differences
can be reconciled ip any future meeting of the
Convention, but it is important that Southern
| sentiment should not be misrepresented by
bogus delegations, and that no representative
ofthe Squatter Sovereignty heresy should be
permitted to obtain the prestige and moral in
finanee of even the semblance ola nomination
by such means. Let the Southern Democra-
cy adhere unwayeringly to the principles
which they have already proclaimed them
act resolutely and firmly, but at the same
time, wisely. $50
1 After the foregoing was put in type we en-
Ejoyed the pleasure Of reading the proceedings
OF very large and enthusiastic meeting which
was held in New Orleans on Saturday even
ing last, to express apDrobation of the course
1 parsusd by the A-s1.Sdksana delegates ,.ai
Charleston. Gen. W. R. Miles presided over
the meeting. and in taking the chair delivered
an address admirably adapted to the occasion
both in matter and style. He was followed
by Col D. c. Glenn (whose eloquent speed
was loudly applauded,) Hon. T. J. Semms
? Mr.. Hyams, and Mr.. R. A. Hunter delegate
to Charleston)
The following, among other Resolutions
were adopted. It will be seen that the las
named indicates the identical line of polio,
which We have suggested above - -
4. That the delegates from Louisiana to tn
late Charleston Convention, are regarded b,
us as faithful defenders of the constitutions
rights Of the slayeholding States and deserv
our commentator for their manly refusal +
accept temporary success at the price Of prin
eiples involving the very existence Of our in
situations. se st.ssf s 80 eaazs sc
5, That the fearless and independent avow
al of the doctrines embraced in the precedin
declarations constitutes the only effectua
barrier to the inroads of fanaticism. and al
fords the surest safeguard against the .'irrs
pressible conflict threatened by the leader
of the Black Republican party. - $50
6. That in view of the prospect of an ad
. justment of the differences which occurred a
Charleston and considering that harmohiou
> action will strengthen the bond of union, it
expedient and proper to re-assemble the lat
State Convention, which met at Baton Roug
in March last, for the purpose of determinin
the course to be pursued by the State in r.
: ference to the Presidency. --;e-gs9s
