A Literal TURN, o.. .MIND.-Me-hear
Of very polite and impressive gentleman,

respectfully. Well, sir" said the gen

There was another boy, who was ac-

go there, then ?" replied the boy.
One day on Lake George, party OF

espied little fellow. with a red SHIRT AND
an old straw hat, dargling line over the
side of boat. "Helo! boy" said one
of thcm,-"what- are you doing ?" '' Fish.

affairs as shall then be presented
to them, the course and methods
Of action proper to be taken on
the mome1tous issues before the
country. The circumstances of the
position are constantly shifting.
The modes of relief, and the d1-
ties of the crisis viii have to be
adapted to exigencies which no
foresight can discern and concern
ing which advice at this time would
be premature, if not presumptu-
GUS. The lines Of defense In which
we are to bear our share, If we be
permitted to do volunteer service
In our own cause, are to be de-
termined elsewhere, by the general
counsels of the Conservatives, and
greatly by the fields of action
which the aggressive policy of our
enemies shall expose TO us. Dis
cord may break them asunder; the
Executive may recover some of his
constitutional functions the mill
tary dictatorship may break down
under the universal Odium; ; or the
Judiciary may be triumphant in the
struggle, and change the whole
moral aspect of The controversy,
and enfOld us once again within
the embrace of the Constitution.
In all these possibilities, as in
the worst conceivable case Of being
constrained to confront the full tide
of revolutionary violence, it is of
the last Importance the people
should be In a condition to com
nunicate Instantly and freely with
each other, and to take counsel for
action with elaboration and unity
which become those who are
marching forward to a struggle in
which to be defeated is fightful
,uin.
We, therefore, implore you to
send up to this Convention your
lblest, most trusted, and patriotic
men. 1t matters nothing by what
political names they may have
been heretofore called, so they
come up accepting as a fnality all |
hat the war decided on the points
which were at issue, and all the |
egitimate consequences Of ts18
abolition of slavery, and are willing
o devote time and mind, and ener-
y, in aid of the great object of the
Democratic organization, the es-
Adjustment of constitutional rule

emit and prosperity throughout the

sGuFnIng the most uuImul regions OF
the earth into morass or tangled
wilderness, where those who once
cultivated it are haunted with the
dread of famine, and employer and
employed lock into each others
face in blaD' ao5pair and subject
ing all there is OF intelligence, and
education, and enterprise and
thrift, to the baFbarous rule of a
.class-which, whatever their fu-
ture capabilities may be, have
nothing and know nothing, and are
VIGOROUSLY mere instruments in
the hands of designing and unscru-
pulous politicians, in game of
ambition. .'.
1t is not, we believe, in the
American nature, that a policy,
leading directly to such results,
can be long supported by the peo-
pie, after its nature is plainly de-
-Veloped, even if it had not exposed
among its accepted instrumental
ties the necessity of overthrowing
their cherished ideas of essential
rights, and exhibited in it's PERM
cious influences ON their material
interests. Much might be expected !
from the calming Of the war pas
sions, under the soothing influence
of time, the returning sense of JUS
tice, and a re-aWakened feeling of
brotherhood but it is no purpose
of reproach in saying, and a great
encouragement to know, that the
wrongs inflicted upon us have come
recognized and felt, as wrongs done
to the whole country; and that, in
the prostration of our rights and
liberties, a blow is struck, which
vibrates through the whole frame
work of American Government,
and startles men everywhere with
alarm for themselves.
Our cause is felt to be the cause
of constitutional liberty. Our es-
cape from the abiect servitude and
desolation to which the policy of
Radicalism would condemn us in
our own land, will be the rescue
from destruction, of all the cher
ished forms and muniments which
our fathers who built up this Gov
for US, thought and meant
to be strong enough to preserve it
for their posterity and mankind.
The work and heat of this great
constitutional struggle is to be
borne at the North. There free
dom of speech, and the rights of 7
lawful suffrage, are not yet arrested ;
by the military dictatorship; and ,
men have yet the privilege of voting +
against the expressions they feel. !
The power is with them-the con- =
of failure, although dis Y

known by different names ano
separated by old strifes, alarmed
for the safety of the country, are
coming together into one Organiza-
ton, which extends to the utmost
limits of the republic. The vital
element of concord among them is
devotion to the one purpose of es-
tablishing, by a grand effort at the
polls, the fundamental truth-with-
Out which American institutions
are but a feeting phantasm- that
written constitutions make a sacred
and inviolable bond; not as the
chiefs Of the misrule hold them to
be, mere ropes of fax, to fall asun-
der at the first touch of the fires of
popular phrenzy, or at the FIRST
grasp of a giant ambition.
The ensign under which this
rally is made is that of the National
Democratic Party of the Union.
There is no other flag afoat among
constitutional men In any part of
the thirty-seven States. ANY at
tempt to raise another would be
the signal of weakness and the
forerunner of disaster. And, let it
be said, frankly, for many among
us who have waged a lifelong con-
fict with that party, when on is
sues infinitely less momentous,
they believed it to be an unsafe
trustee of the conservative powers
of the Constitution, that,the clarion
tone with which it is now summon
ing its hosts to the conflict, and
the alacrity with which the masses
thrOng to the call, the high stand
ard of the old faith which it in
scribes on its banners, and the
strength which it's ancient
and vigorous cam
power brings to the good
task, commend it to their unhesita-
ting approval as the accepted
champion of deliverance.
With these convictions deeply |
felt, a large number of this CITY |
have initiated proceedings for the
purpose of gathering the people of
Louisiana into full connection with |
he Democratic party of the North |
md West. They have formed a |
Provisional Executive Committee, |
and raised the usual working COM |
nittees of a political organization,
or the single purpose of collecting
md concentrating public opinion
n a convention for permanent Or
5anizatiOn to be made by the peo-
de for themselves.
In the general wreck of affairs,
,arty organizations have with us
il gone to pieces. Not remnant
with any show of authori-
y to take lead and, if there had
'een one, the change of issues and
nen would have made it give out
cry uncertain sounds. The neces-
ity of a new organization was APP
aren't. The impulse being given
y which men may learn how to
onfer with, and how to meet each
Their, the functions of this prelimi- I
airy organization will cease. To
his end the Central Committee
ave called a State Convention Of
&c Democrats of Louisiana, to
