The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-09-25

Illuminated in honor of the occasion; tne roy-
dras Asylum was brilliantly III up from .oP ~
bottom, and its inmates, assembled IN 'front.', saNs
cheers as loud ss they could Tor seymour sr
Blair the voices, coming 10 us through the solt
air, seeming like the musical ripple OF mountain
brook. -.
But we must close this chronicle OF an event
which In every way was worthy OF mucn better
description than this which our poor pen ma sren
il. Il was q success from beginning 10 emo, Inc
muddy condition Of the streets was tne only draw
hack and that was rendered less by the deter
mipation of the men In the PROCESSION. The mud
pecessitated slight change In the hne OF march,
but this was q minor point.
Qratulatjons TO sister city, who though labor
ing like MS under the terrible weight of Radical
misrule, vet finds the spirit TO conceive and the
power to execute demonstration in our glorious
cause like the one of last night. While such
spirit still exists we shall never lose hope and
faith in Jefferson City.
The Fuller Guards of Algiers.
Tuesday evening last the Steedman Guards OF
Algiers were presented with very fine flag at
the dwelling OF Col. j. A. Grow, in the First Dis
trict. Shortly afterwards the Steedman and Fuller
Guards, together with other clubs, proceeded to
the St. Charles Hotel and serenaded Hon. Perry
Fuller, the new collector Of the port. Mr.. Fuller
made bis appearance on the portico, from whence
be was introduced TO the crowd on the street

and eloquent remarks, presented acopy OF the

applause.
To the Fuller Guards Of Algiers, La:
Ge7Aeme7a--I fully appreciate the compliment
you pay me by this call. Although q native OF
the North, and O stranger in your midst, feel
lively interest in the great questions now at issue
before the people.
/ have come here, gentlemen, to advance the
commercial interests of your city to the best OF
my ability. shall do all in my power to facilitate
the transit of goods into the interior counties
like care and attention will be given 70 the expor-
tation of the productions OF this country. But
not alone to aid your commercial relations will l
eDdeavor, but also to discharge the duties OF my
office so as to promote the welfare of the Demo-
cratic party.
The people in the North know but little of the
internal machinery of your State, and although
they deeply sympsthze with you as party, o
not realize the true state of affairs here and all
you are compelled to submit to for the sake OF
peace and quiet.
The president of the United States has done
everything for you that is in his power 20 do.
Look back for the last few months upon the trials
and anxieties Of his position. Think of all he has
had to contend with, and of the heroic courage
he has displayed in defense Of the constitutonand
laws. No man has ever been honored by the
American people with the position he holds who
has more faithfully guarded his trust, than Andrew
Johnson. To him you owe all the political privil'
eyes you now enjoy, for he is firm and true
friend to aliovers of constitutional liberty and
peoples rights.
Learning, through one of my friends, that you
honored me by naming your club for me, desire
TO state that Mrs. Fuller will be pleased to pre-.
sent you with banner within few days, through
our friend Col. Folke, as q token of appreciation
Of the compliment, and the generous Kindness re-
eeived from your people.
In conclusion, would urge upon you patience
and foIbearsnce. Your rights as American
citizens you can claim at all times under the
Constitution, and the true course is always
marked by frmness and moderation. 10 that am
willing most cordially to join you.
Again thanking you, gentlemen, for the beauti-
full compliment, bid you good night.
PERRY FULLER, Collector OF Port.

On account of the excitement which imme-
diatey prevailed, the copies OF resolutions aud re-
l. ply were unfor tunately misaid, which prevented

| Club.
Under the leadership of its gallant president,
| Gen. j. B. Steedman, and it7 energetic secretary,
Jas L. McBeth, Esq.,, this club is daily gaining IN
strength. the roll already numbering about huu-
bred names. The formation Of this club has de-
| yeloped the presence 10 New Orleans of q goodly
| number of those Eho, during the late war, were
| in active sympathy with the United States gov
ernment and who are nevertheless now unwilling
| that a PROSTATE enemy should be trampled upon
| or that the government should longer remain IN
possession OF party prostituting their power to
the qualification of political vindictiveness TO pur
poses of selfish gain, or the perpetuatlon OF theiE
| own existence.
TIE club will hold its regular weekly meeting
tomorrow evening at the rooms Of the Hancock
| Club, No. 1879 Canal street, at which time and
place the roll will be opened for signatures.
Dedication OF Abe Sixth Ward wigw
The old historical ground on the northeast cor
per of Condo, now Charities street and Barracks
has been moderniZed by the erection Of an ele
giant and spacious wigwam the interior Of which
especially does credit to the Sixth Ward Rough
Captain s. w. Scott.
AZ the invitation Of the club, we repaired to tn,
building last evening, and were treated to excel
lent addresses by DR.. Knapp, Judge. Gastinel D
| u
The utmost enthusiasm existed, and the cere
monies we're enlivened by the appearance Of I
fine body Of men bearing the name of Wake
Guards who were invited to seats on the foo
an6 seemed to greatlyenjoy the occasion.
Certainly the inauguration ceremonies of TIL
Sixth Ward Wigwam deserves more extende'
and comprehensive notice than is given to-day
but we prefer taking practical view OF the sue
cess of the club, and advise the citizens of tn
ward that as 1t is their central rendezvous the!
should Immediately obey the orders Of the csntra
committee and register their names as voters Of
the books OF the club, in order that at the comnl
election for delegates TO the State convention
which is TO meet on the 30th instant the old Sixt
Ward, that has generally voted right, may be rep
resented by representative men. FROM 10 ?
NJ. daily the secretary of the club will be presen
to register voters, and they must be registered j
order 70 vote.
