We like to see the Plaquemines Re
gister take up the refrain Of the Ma
tional Republican and represent the
meeting held in Lafayette Square,
New Orleans, on Monday, the 18th
instant, as a grand success for the
Custom-House crowd, when the fact
is the assemblage was composed
mostly of the town rabble, who hooted
down the speakers one after another
and made the grand mass-meeting "
a ridiculous farce. We say we like to
see the Register misrepresent the facts
of the case, because it assures us that
its editor knows there is such a glo-
rious institution as " liberty of the
press" and uses, or rather abuses it.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONTENTION.

This body, which met i'll New Or
leans on the 18th inst. and adjourned
on the goth, was far from harmonious
in its proceedings. The fact OF the
matter is that the delegation from the
city of New Orleans endeavored to
ride over the country members rough
shod, but the latter proved rather too
much for the city men, defeating sew
eral of their pet schemes. One of these
schemes was the expulsion OF Hon.
Thos. Green Davidson from the body
because he was friendly to Governor
Warmoth; another was the nomina-
ton of candidates for State offices
whose selection had been cut and
dried affair for the occasion. These
were both defeated, and the Conyen-
ton adjourned to the Both of June
without making nominations. A res
olution denouncing Grant was passed
almost unanimously, and one denounc-
ing Gov. Warmoth referred to COM
mittee to be reported upon when the
Convention meets again.
