The following is the communication in
full which was presented by the Louisiana
delegation to the National Democratic Con
venti0n:
AS representatives of the Democracy of
the State of Louisiana, the solemn duty is
imposed upon us at this moment of voting
unanimously Y for Charles O'Conor as the
candidate of the Democratic party for
President, and for John Quincy Adams for
Vice President.
We believe that we represent, so far as
individual opinion can represent in the
aggregate CT a political body, the true
principles of. republican government.
1t came on us as an inspiration that
Charles OConor and John Quincy Adams
might cave the Republic.
O'ConOr has refused to be our standard
bearer. History must record his reasons.
We believe him to be citizen emnentIy
pure and devoted to the republican form
of government as contemplated by Jefer-
son and by jackson, and without ostcn5a-
ton when occasion required heroism in the
maintenance Of those principles.
1t is with profound regret that we have
heard epithets applied to him by members
of this convention, since his absolute de-
clination has been made known, which could
only be applied to the basest of men. Hy-
poorisy and cOwardico were attributed to
him
We believe that the last hope Of the re-
public rested with this convention. To us,
it is matter Of utter Indifference whether
Grant or Greeley succeeds.
