EDITOR REPUBLICAN,
According to previous announcement, the
Republicans of Lafourche held two mass
meetings last Saturday.
The roads being in splendid condition and
the day fine, we promised ourselves a rare
treat, as several of our friends from the city
were expected to be with US; but as all are
subject at times to disappointment, and
therefore should be prepared to meet it, so
we were made the subjects OF dlsappOint.
ment, and instead of being prepared TO meet
it were entirely unprepared, having instead
thereof gone to the depot for the purpose OF
meeting our expected visitors.
1t was with regret we learned that our
candidate for governor was ill. Our wishes
are for his speedy recovery, with the hope
alse that on next Saturday we will enjoy the
| pleasure of seeing him.
The meeting nc Lockpert was very enthu
siastic. Mr.. Nelson Taylor presided, aud
Thomes NcWilliams, Esq. was chosen secre.
| tary. The Rev. Marcus Field offered a very
| appropriate prayer for the OCCASION, after
| which the Rev. Henry Grimes was intro
| duced to the audience.
He said he did not come among them to
| fOment discord, to array the black man
| against the white man, but to speak to the
| people of Lafourche, without regard to race
or color, of matters which concerned them
all.
As you may not have room for even an
| abstract from Mr.. Grimes great speech,
give its conclusion. He said times have
| undergone a mighty change; Babylon the
Great has fallen. The power has beer
wrested from her and placed where it right
fully belOngs-in the hands Of the people
and they with one accord should vote fol
the ratification of the constitution, for mer
of the people, men who have the interests
of the poor at heart, and will insure then
tul and complete justice at all times, anc
under al circumstances.
If the constitution is ratified our agricul
tural and commercial interests will prosper
our lands will be protected irOm overflow
our children will be educated our people
will again be happy and prosperous anC
Louisiana will yet become the garden spO
of the world.
The speaker was frequently interrupted
by the approving shouts Of his audience
and when he closed his remarks threi
cheers were given him in good earnest,
The Hon. d. H. Reese was next intro
duCed, and in a few brief remarks gave tht
people to understand what their duty was
and what part each would be- expected t.
take at the coming election. He then reat
the following resolution, which was unani
mously adopted:
Res0iued, That we heartily indorse AM
will earnestly support the state tlcke
headed by the Hons. II. c, Warmoth AM
0. j. Dunn, and denounce the spuriOu
ticket of the New Orleans Tribune, and vii
at the coming election declare AZ the ballot
box our fixed determination by voting TO
the constitution and the state and parisI
ticket nominated by our regularly electe
delegates. THlBODAUN.
