/ LOUISIANA. ne. SS
The seceiers from this State avoided trial
bsfore a regular convention OF fhe Democratic
pal ty, but called upot, the delegates by whom
they bad been chosen--deltgptcs whose duty
and Office had expired-to re-asscmble at Baton
Rouge and represent The Democracy In 'citcun-
stances not contemplated at the time of their
appointment. A mere "rump" of those dele
gates did re-assembe, without authority from
the people, and re-appGinted the seceders az
delegates to the Democratic National Conven-
ton ut Baltimore, aud also appointed them as
delegates to the Convention al Richmond.
Meanwhile, In pursuance Of q call from sew
eral Democratic associasions in New Orleans,
sanctioned by the representative of Louisiana
In the National Democratic Committee, the De-
mocracy OF the State assembled in Convention
at DonAldsonvile, fy delegates Immediately
chosen from the people, and repudiating the
secedcrs as unfaithful, appointed new delcga-
ton, accredited solely to tho Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Baltimore.
.s-- ALABAMA. =
In this State the committee appointed at
Montgomery In January, 1860, for the purpose
of carrying into efFec, the scheme Of secession
then mcditated, and afterwards accomplished
NJ Charleston, assembled a convention in pur-
suancc Of the original design, or, US they de-
cared to cossider what acts lest to be done Where
upon, the Democracy OF Alabama, sensible that
the Montgomery convention had abused its
trust In assuming an attitude of hostility to-
ward the Democratic party Of other States, de-
nounc'd that committee a. an integral pnrt of
the scheme 80 meditaled and accomplished, and
taereupon declined to be governed BY Its adj
vice. On the contrary, in accordance NTH the
usage Of that State the Democracy Of the sereral
counties called on euch Other, BY county meetings., to
appoint delegates to Democratic State Conve.tion,
ut Montgomery, to fill the vacancies from Ala
bama in The National Convention, caused by
the secession ut Charleston. The Convention Of
Tie Democracy Of Alabama ,ras regularly assembled.
and appointed full delegation. accredited 10
Baltimore only, s.,.-.-. &
The other convention proceeded, neverihe-
lcss, to appoint another delegation, Cncluding
the most prominent srccders.) accredited equal
ly to Richmond and Baltimore.
1t ~ very strange that the committee should
be so anxious to convince the people that the
Alabama Convention was regularly called, when
| Louisiana is passed with the mere allusion to
Democratic associations. They do not mention
regularity or g in accordance ,riM The usage" of the
Democracy Of This State. 1t was the object Of
! that committee to represent everything in the
best light, and their silence on the regularity
of the Donaldsonville Convention, must be con-
strued against thcm--for it will not be doubted
hut what Miles Taylor knows the usoges Of hs
Democracy Of Louisiana. The hogusness r. The
Convention was admitted In propou..dinr Inter
rogatorics to B. B. SHINES, ara little did W,
dream that the committee empowered 10 nd

second acknowledgement. That is six more
votes iron; Mr.. Douglass; We wonder If the,
will still have the presumption to say that HI
! got two-thirds of the Convention if they do
! then we verify believe TINT they would clair
thirds if they had only got one hundred
and one votes. We would like to know thci
method Of computation--for surely "they cur
