BJ-Public meetings have been the order

denounce the conduct Of the disunion'seced.
ers from the Charleston Convention. It
was one Of the largest and most orderly as
semblages Of the kind ever held in the city.
The meeting was ably addressed by several
prominent gentlemen, who handled the Sc
Dceders without gloves. The meeting, which
lasted until a late hour, adjourned with
three cheers for Douglas, three for the
Union, and three for Henry Clay.
7 The meeting in Lafayette Square, says
the New Orleans Delta, was not more TO
our taste or gratifying to our feelings than
was the following resolution, which was
Vociferously adopted:
ResOlrcd, That we, the citizens Of New
Orleans, regardless of the minor differences
of opinion that divide the people Of this
country politically, are one mind and one
heart in support of the Union Of these
States; and that so long as the CoDstitu-
tion Of the Republic, and the laws enacted
| by Congress in accordance Herewith, can
be maintained inviolate, as we confidently
believe can now be done, we shall regard
with adherence and horror the attempt,
wherever made or however originated, 10
destroy the fraternal ligamenis which bind
in links more durable than brass the sOTe-
rign members of this glorious confederation
together; and we here solemnly pledge oar
selves, one to the other, and all to our
countrymen, to oppose all parties Or irae
ments Of parties, and all Ospirants for pub
lie office, irrespective Of partisan disilne-
tions, whose claims to public confidence are
identified with disQFgdnizing or dsunOn
sentiments or designs; and to regard as en-
emies to Republican libetty all who attempt
to produce separation of these States,
while within the Union their equality and
rights under the Constitution are suseePsl-
ble of maintenace without resourse to phys
ical force.
This is declaration which embodes ex-
actly the true sentiment Of Louisiana; II
brief and explicit, and, on the question oil
the Union, conveys to the world the poit-
cul creed of the Democracy Of Louisiana 70
the most catholic sense Of that much-abused
political distinction.
B6S There was large Democratic meet
ing at Baton Rouge on the following even
ing, over which Hon. A. S. Heron presa-
ed. The meeting condemned the secession
of the majority of the Louisiana delegation
from the Charleston Convention, aud pass
ed resolutions in favor Of State ConVen'
ton to send delegates to Baltimore on .no
18th of June, to replace the Withdrawing
delegates.
B4~An immense Democratic meeung
was held at st. Louis on the 9Th inst'
which resolutions were passed endoisps
Douglas, ratifying the Charleston platform
aud denouncing; the action Of these us's
gates to the National Convention VINO
ceded. 1t is pronounced one Of the large.'
