Tothe President and Members Of the Liberal Parish
Convention:
GENTLEMEN-You committee on resolu-
tiOn6 beg leave TO submit the following reso-
lutiOns:
WHEREAS, The safety of the parish of Or
leans and State of Louisiana, depends upon
all the disCordant elements of the parties in
this State, and Concurring in the spirited
appeal made to us by the Democratic and
Liberal State Central Committees, to cob
iterate" all differences and join in the com
mon and glorious cause of Eedeeming our
State; therefore be it
ReSolred, That it is the paramount duty
of every member of the conference com
mittee, while demanding only what is right
and submitting n uyTO nh a tbnV Sb oil
ignore oil desperate and ruinous struggles
for power and insatiate lust for Office, and,
iii the language of Horace Greeley, agree
upon and select men for Office from among
the best and wisest Of our eminently quail
tied fellow citizens, regardless alike of the
shrieks and suggestions of a selfish policy"
ReSOlUeR That in view of the common
dange t, threatening and importing the State
at this time, the alternative is presented
whether the liberties, rights and prosperity
of the people shall be sacrificed by us in one
common ruin by our suicidal acts of reck-
less ambition; OF whether, by profound de-
liberation and reflection, guided by true
wisdom and understanding, we shall make
one manly, noble, selfsacrifcing and heroic
effort, by uniting in one solid rank to defeat
the enemy and gain a glorious victory.
-ReS0ired, That to obtain this common end,
and in the spirit of magnanimity and com
promise, we appeal to the manhood, virtue
and patriotism of the convention, now IN
session, to eXpunge all local jealousies and
rivalry of factions, and meet us and clasp
hands in the solemn resolve and determined
will to save ourselves and our children from
intamy and disgrace.
E. ?. RARESHIDE, Chairman.

lowing:

reports back to this convention, without ac-
tiun, the resolution offered by Mr.. Lemairie

House Of Representatives to support Gov
ernOr II. c. Warmoth for the United States
Senate, and recommends the adoption Of
the following resolution;
RcSoircd That our nominees for the Sea-
ate and House Of Representatives shall re-
main free to act as they may think Just and
proper in the matter of the selection of
successor to Hon. w P. Kellogg to the
United States Senate.

VCnti0n for members OF the Legislature to

mr Lemarie. Of the committee on CON
ference stated that no final report could be
made, and he would ask for further time.
That the committee had been hard at work |
for fOTty-cight hours, but no conclusion had |
yet been arrived at. The matters presented |
for consideration involved the vital interests |
IF the convention, and they could not feel |
justified IN determining a result without a |
-ull and proper deliDeration.

,eiycd from the Democrats their ultimatum, |
