THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS MEETING OF
PARTY LEADERS.

PARTY LEADERS.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug 15.-Prominent men,
bers of the Democratic and Republican parties
in Louisiana held an important meeting in
Gov. Warmouth's Office, in this citv, last night.
All conceded that the danger of a collision was
imminent. The Democratic gentlemen ex-
pressed the opinion that the best and only way
to secure peace was TO stop the system of ag-
gressive and offensive legislation now in pro.
gress. That the democratic AMI conservative
elements of the country expected to accom-
plish nothing except in a legal and constita-
tional way, but that it was unwise and impro-
per for the State Government to defy the wish
es of the people; that if the Governor would
throw himself upon the people they would
sustain him, aid no resort to force would be
necessary for the preservation of peace.
Gov. Yarmouth stated he was authorized to
say, on behalf OF the Republicans, that there
was nothing that the Republicans can do or
concede that will not be done to secure har-
mony. He promised that measures of party
policy that are obnoxious to citizens should be
modified, and said they were in earnest in
their desire to secure the welfare of the people
and to restore peace and order.
Another meeting will be held in few days,
when it is believed some practical illustrations
of the mutual desire for harmony will be pre-
sented.
