IMMENSE SOUTHERN MEETING.

We have before us the proceedings of an
immense meeting of the citizens of all par
ties and every hue of political sentiment in
New Orleans, on Friday evening last, to give
expression to the sentiment of hostility to
Black Republican domination which the North
ern States have manifested their determination
to inaugurate. The meeting was an over
whelmfng demonstration. twas an outburst
of long pent-up popular feeling, showing that
IN the grand movement now progressing for
Southern protection and safety, and Southern
political and commercial independence, the
great city of New Orleans will not play the
laggard, but will lift herself up to the position
which her importance and the results which
will accrue to her, entifle her to occupy. The
Crescent (Bell paper) says that 'the first men
of the city. old, young and middle-aged, rep
resenting all interests and members of all the
late parties, were there in array such as has
never before been seen in this city. The seats
were not only filed to the extreme foot of the
Hall, but the sides and aisles were filled with
men standing, and many went away, not being
able to find place to sit or stand. In the
gallery we noticed handsome attendance of
ladies'"
Hon. D. W. Adams, formerly of this city
and Senator from Kinds county in the Mis-
sissippi Legislature, was called to preside over
the meeting. HIS remarks, which were pecu-
liariy appropriate, and in the right spirit, are
thus sketched:
SPEECH OF Mr.. ADAMS 10
After explaining that the object of the meet
ing was to take action on the Constitution pre-
pared by the committee appointed at the Ar
mory Hall meeting, and that this meetingw was
the offspring of that, Mr.. Adams said !: What
we say we will say firmly, and when said we
will stick to it to the death. Great applause
This is no time to look back; the time is past;
we are nov called upon to act in defence Of
our rights. The speaker proceeded to picture
in strong terms the aggreSsions of the North
ern party, their outrages, their violations of
the Constitution and the Federal laws, and the
times which had at last come upon the people
through these aggressive actions. The Black
Republican party is responsible for all this

arms; but, thank God, these men are few.

speakers parallel between the growing ag-
gressions Of the North and the long forbear-
ance of the South was eloquent and fiery
Now IS the time for ACTION. The time for
argument and appeal to the North has passed
away. We must assert our rights, and after
asserting them we must do like our revolu-
tionary forefathers, MAINTAIN thernI Our
remedy is in withdrawal. Thunders of ap-
plause. Never let it be said that our fore
fathers left this glorious inheritance to degen-
crate sons. Now is the time and now is the
hour. Let us unite as one party, as one man,
with one heart and one spirit. We will be
aided by other States; but if | knew we
would not be so aided, pledge you my word
my principle would still be the same. We
must have concert of action; and when we
act, the God of justice and of battles will aid
u.s. Applause.
Mr.. Adams concluded with q glowing Dor
trayal of the importance and high position of
New Orleans. She should be first to act in
the momentous matter before her; she would
be ungratefnl indeed, did she not respond to |
he Southern Rights appeal of the surround t
ng country, whose grand center and mart she
s. Let us say to the world, through the
Convention which is soon to assemble, that
Louisiana is ready, willing and able to protect
herself and her honor. The speaker retired I
mid the most immense cheering. .
At the conclusion of Mr.. Adams speech, t
ther speeches followed in succession: among S
'thers who participated we notice the name of d
ur eloquent contemporary of the Delta, Judge r
Walker. t
