III RIGHT SP{RIT
From the y. @ Coarer.

TIE RIGHT SPIHlT
In u columns, this morning, viii tie
found the resolutions adopted py the
Democratic Committee Of the Parish OF
Orleans. relative to the Herror-tirty-
Delonev scheme for diSintcgratlr- our
forces: and introducing into oar cogn-
ellis, those whose highest desire Is 10
defeat the most cherished objects and
aims of our political organization. Ii
was due to the true and tried Democracy
Of Louisiana, that this t~rcachcrouH
scheme should be unmaSkcd and held NJ
TO public rcprobatiun: and it is therefore
gratifying. that thosc who have been
placed in charge Of the rights and inte-
rests Of the DcmocraCyof Orleans, have
spoken out SO plainly with reference &"
a contemplate plot, by whichit was de
signed to convert an honest and TcNpcc-
table organization, which has always
commanded the respect Of lis oppo-
nentS, into a pie-bald, no-party-SpeculA-
ting combination, ccmented hy no other
tie than the strife fer place, and the d.
vision Of the spoils of office. W. have
before remarked. that it was our belief
that no honorable and heightened man
Of the American party i'll New Orleans,
would think of mtruding himself INTO
the councils Of the Democracy, and thus
endeavor to exercise any control in the
selection of delegates to any OF Il
Conventions. Our respected nclghbor
of the Bee, has confirmed what we ad-
vanced on this point. 1t remains 10 lie
seen, whether any among the vagabond
adventurers who have acted with Il
opponents, will be bold and UEblushiug
enough to rcspond to the shameless
invitation extended to them by the Her
ron-Gray-Delony squad of FaetioniSiS.
Every sincere Democrat should regard
it as his first duty to attend at the time
and places indicated by the Committee
for the election of our delegation t. the
State Convention, and to scrutinizr
closely the claims Of all who are not
known as reliable Democrats. W"
must send, TO meet our country brethren
in council on this important occasion. all
honest, old-fashioned Democratic dele
ton, who will do their utmost TO uphold
party discipline and integrity, and not
lend themselves to the promotion of the
pitiful intrigues Of those whose conduct
clearly shews the attainment of place
and profit, is the only motive which gov
Orns their political action.
The following are the Resolutions alluded
to above by the Courier. We can assert, as
the organ Of the Democracy Of lbeyville, that
they emphatically express the sentiments of
the Democrats of this parish:
Rssozced, That the recent overtures issued
by Messrg Deloney, Gray, Heron and others,
10 the I now Nothings and other opponents Of
the Democratic party, to come Into the Demo-
cratic primary meetings on equal terms with
Democrats, in the selection Oi Delegates to the
Democratic State Convention at Baton Rouge,
is a proposition for the dissolution Of the De
mocratic party, which we condemn as "a thless
and presumptuous.
Resolued, That in the opinion Of this COM
mittee, no man can rightfully vote in the APP
preaching Democratic meeting, who has hot
heretofore subscribed to its principles and yo-
ted for its candidates regularly nominated ac-
cording to the usages Of the party; and that to
receive adhering members Of an adverse or
ganization as free 10 vote in ow meetings, Is
to put the party, its principles, and ito cauii.
dates, at the mercy OF i;s enemies.
Resolued, That the effect If not the design
IN the city Of New Orleans, would be to thI ow
thescontrol OF the election of delegates to the
4 DIsocratic State Convention into the hands
tof that organization Of their adverssries which
has so long ruled the city by secret discipline
and intimidation result not 10 he desired by
any Democrat who has not disappointments 10
avenge by the destruction Of the party.
Resolred, That this committee earnestly re-
commend to the Democracy Of this parish to
be vigilant at the polls on the day fixed for the
selection Of delegates to the Baton Rouge
Convention, and to scrutInize carefully the
claims Of all who NAV present themselves To
vote, and who are not NOVA as members of
our organization.
