To he Republican, of Louisiana:
1t is known to va that your State Con.
vention, which met in this city in the month
of Nav, was the largest and most narmOni,
Gus ever assembled in Louisiana. In the
discharge of its legitimate duty it appointed
a State Central Committee consisting Of ten
members from the parish Of Orleans, and
two from each other parish, one half OF
whom arc white, and ODc-half cOlOred citi'
2ens. The State Central Committee met and
elected the Hon. S. B. Packard, Of Orleans,
President, and the Hon, William Vigers,
of New Orleans, Secretary. By virtue
of a resolution Of the State Convention the
State Central Committee elected from its
own members an Executive Committee Of
ten members, two from each congressional
district, with power TO act for the Central
Committee between its sessions, and this
Executive Committee now has the honor Of
addressing you.
It is our agreeable duty to congratulate
you on the suspicious result Of our State
election. We have ratified a constitution
which guarantees to all life and liberty and
equality before the law, and we have elect
ed State officers and members of the Legis
lature who will faithfully see the constitu
ton carried into practice. We congratulate
you on the moral certainty that the civil
law will soon be enforced by loyal mel
throughout Louisiana our State be admit
led into the Union Of States, and our Pee
pie become peaceable, prosperous, an'
happy.
We also congratulate you on the nomina
ton by the National Republican Convention
of General U. S. Grant and Schuyler Cola,
for President and Vice-President of tn
United States. The hero who led our a
mics to victory and the patriot who led on
statesmen in council will now lead the RI
publican party to a complete and gloTiou
triumph. We have the satisfaction to re
member that your delegates participated i
their nomination, and that your State Ger
trail Committee now forms a part Of th
organization OF the great Republican party
and has its representative in the Nations
Republican Executive Committee.
We also congratulate you on the unit
and harmony which now prevail in tn
Republican party OF Louisiana. It is inev
table that there should be in all partit
disappointed aspirants for Office or ofiicis
position, who are dissatisfied with every
thing which is not to their personal az
vantage, and there are deserters from 8
armies and all parties. But these are {
few in numbers here that they can do on
good to our organization by inspiring wit
renewed zeal all good and true men. v
confidently predict that at the comir
election in November the Republican part
win carry this State for Grant and Cola
and the whole Republican ticket, by at lea
twenty-five thousand majority.

fhe Hon. S. B. Packard is president, and a
