no decrease Of the Greeley fever in
the first ward. A vigorous address
was made by Mr.. Felix Reynaud, the
Fusion candidate for the Legislature,
and we are informed that it was re-

audience. The presence of that fine
orator, Gen. Allen Thomas, was ex-
pected, but note received from him
by Mr.. Richardson announced his in
ability to attend on account of a tenn
porary illness. For some time after
the adjournment of the club the air
was resonant with cheers for Greeley
and Brown.

With the exception of q slight
wordy alteration between two lead

Resolutions Adopted by Liberal
Republican, State COnvention,
August 18th, Is52.

WHEREAS, The unifcation Of the Republi-
can party in Louisiana, IN connection with
the Philadelphia movement, upon fair and
honorable terms, has been defeated by the
unjust and treachef0ns action OF the Custom
House faction, in that said faction, through
the Vaccinations of certain federal officials,
Of whom s. B. Packard, United States Mar
shall, is chief, and by the improper and un-
authorized use of federal patronage have at
tempted to force upon the Republ icans of tho
State ticket not nominated by the Repuhli-
can masses, nor acceptable to them; and
whereas, President U. 5. Grant, after being
duly informed relative to the action Of his
subordinates, has refused to either remove
or control them, but permits federal officials
to become the centers of political opinion IN
such way as to defeat the wishes Of the peo-
pie through the use of the public positions,
and thus becomes q party to the offences
and wrongs perpetrated by these recreant
officials; and whereas, in the Liberal Re-
publican platforms, national and State, We
find q full recognition of oar rights, and q
satisfactory assertion of Republican princi
pies; and on the national and State tickets
of said party competent, true and honest
men; therefore,
Resoircd, That we, In behalf of ourselves
and those represented by US, members Of the
Republican party, duly approaching tho ser
vices and patriotism Of those leaders to whom
republicanisIn owes largely its success, and
we our political and civil rights, do hereby
tender to Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley.

Mr.. R. n. Sims made good point
in his speech before the first ward
Greeley and Brown club Thursday
night, when he, showed up couple of
the candidates upon the Grant parish
ticket, in the light of men too Ia
~ to work for an honest living, and
trying to get an Office that they might
draw stipend from out the public
pocket. The men he spoke of would
not profess Republicanism if there
was not Republican majority in the
parislas They have no principle but
self-interest, and would sell their
birthrights for mess of pottage.

We have taken occasion to express
our opinion pretty freely in regard
to the lack of political enthusiasm
displayed by the members of the
fourth ward Greeley and Brown club,
and now we have lecture for the Of
ficers thereof. The Treasurer of the
club requested us to announce in our
last issue that there would be an i'm
portant meeting of the organization
on Thursday evening, and we COM
piled. When Thursday evening ar
rived, neither the Treasurer or any
other officer of the club was on hand
at the Courthouse, and consequently
those who came there to attend the
very important meeting" went away
disappointed. This kind of thing will
not do, if it is intended to keep up a
fight for Greeley and Brown in Ascen-
sion. 1t strikes us that this sort of
mismanagement, instead of drawing
support from the majority, will only
serve. to demoralize the minority.

BASE BALL.-Another interesting
game of bali between the first and

first nine was about up to. its stand
ard. The members of the club are
requested to appear upon the grounds
tomorrow evening at four o'clock
in force. A match game of ball with
a foreign club is anticipated shortly,

boys should make themselves ready
for the occasion by assiduous practice,
in order that they may be qualified to
meet their opponents and achieve a
victory. A challenge from the En-
pire club of Houma is on the taps,
and, if accepted, the game will be
played in the town of Napoleonville.

It is fortunate that the Jewish New
Years Day occurred during this week,
for if Marx Israels's efficient sales
men had not procured some respite
from their labors, it is not unlikely
the health of most of them would
have given way under the arduous
work they are compelled to perform

GREELEY AND BROWN IN THE
FIRST WARD.-It is seldom the lot
of a journalist to chronicle more en-
thnsiastic, pleasant and harmonious
political gathering than was the meet
ing of the first ward Greeley and
Brown club at Richardson's school
house, Thursday evening. Several
speakers and candidates on the Fusion
parish ticket went from Donaldson
vile in carriages, accompanied by
the Ascension Brass Band, to attend
the meeting, and had a jolly time ON
the road there and returning. At the
school-house they found a goodly as
semblage Of people present. The club
was called to order by Mr.. Henry l..
Duffel, and the following speakers
introduced, who delivered stirring
and eloquent addresses, which, with
the music of the Ascension band,
were greeted with rounds of applause
by the audience: Messrs. c. A.
Younger, Josiah Goff, R. N. Sims,
R. Prosper Landry and Henry L. Duff
fel. The effort of Mr.. Sims was es-
pecially fine, and produced consider
able effect on his hearers. After the adj
journment Of the meeting the visitors
from Donaldsonville, who were most
agreeably entertained during their
stay by Mr.. j. G. w. Richardson,
started for home, but stopped twice
on the way: once, by invitation Of c.
Kline, Esq, at Nine. Brands, where
a wedding ball was in progress, in
which many of them took part; and
once at Mr.. Henry l.. Dufel's resi-
dence, where they partook of some
thing in liquid form wllerewith
to. warm the inner man. It was very
late when some of them returned to
their homes, and later still when
others got back.
