ST. CHARLES HOTEL, July 10, 1865
| At meeting of the National Democratic State
Executive Committee, held this evening, the fol
| lowing report was received from the sub-com-
mittee appointed at their last meeting
REPoRTI
The subcommittee appointed to suggest the
names of suitable delegates to the National Union
| Convention beg leave respectfully to report :
That previous to coming to any definite concu
sion on the subject the committee had read in the
newspapers of the 8th inst an address signed by
.. R0selius president of the National Union AS
sociation of Louisiana. Your committee, though
Ignorant of the existence of such an organization,
were so much pleased with the tone, temper and
sentiments of this address that they determined,
before proceeding further, to wait on Mr. Rose
Illus and inform him of the cordial Endorsement
by the Democratic party of Louisiana, of the call
for National Union Convention to be held in
Philadelphia the 14th of August next, signed
by A. ". Randall, president, and to request him
l1Es AO6tbuSj anu HIS dSSOGidIOu 10 JOIN WIN
the National Democratic party in making such
selection of delegates as would be acceptable to
The peopleof the State, who approve of the call
for the Philadelphia convention and the principles
enumerated in the CALL regardless of previous party
affiliations. After the delay of one day. to enable
| Mr. Roselius to consult the members Of his asso.
eiation we regret to say that Mr.. ROselius in be-
half of his association, declined to cooperate with
us in the selection of delegates. Frst-On the
ground that the governor of the State intended to
| appoint delegates. Your committee knowing that
the call emanating from MessTs. Randall, Brown
ing, Doohttle, Cowan, ETC., Endorsed by the Demo-
eratlcmembers of Congress expressly provides that
the delegates shall be chosen by the electors of the
several States, were at a loss to know whence the
governor obtained his authority to act, and the
only answer from Mr.. Roselius was that he did
not know. Second That delegates SO chosen
would have the appearance of a party novel,
Your committee are at a loss to know how a pro-
position from the Democratic party to unite with
all other parties or associations standing on the
common platform Of principles enuneiated in Mr..
Randalls CALL could be construed as party move
or disposition to build up any other party than
one to carry out the principles of the Randall
address.
For the two reasons assigned above, Mr.. Rose.
lus declined to cooperate with us i'll making the
selection, and your committee have consequently
proceeded to discharge the duty assigned them,
and beg leave to present the following names, to
be submitted to the State electors holding the
principles of the proposed National Union C0nven-
ton and desiring to take part in their appoint
ment.
