When Dick Oelesby, in st. Louis, a week ago

he says.
The same paper says:
A dying Bridgeport woman wanted to be

What picture Of anxious love defending its
object against siege of opportunities is brought
before the mind by the following advertisement
from Western paper:

From this time henceforth and forever-until
Miss Anna Gould becomes a widow-all young

WarmOth,
| What is in a name, is a question often
! asked. There is much in it. Say war
moth" to one Of the "incorrigible Last
Ditehers," and his gorge rises and rises
and he sputters out with guTgling sound
| as if it would choke him-Wa-r-m :. So
have l seen a william goat rise on his hind
| legs and but at an imaginary foe. Now,
| fellOw-citizens, |, an old time 'Dimmy-
| crat, as most of US used to call the name,
| find my platform of principles modified to
suit the changed condition of the country,
adopted at Cincinnati by party whilom
called Republican. My party meet in con-
ventiOn in Baltimore a short time after and
adopt that same platform, and agree to the
nominations made at Cincinnati for Presi-
dent and Vice President That action at
the Baltimore convention merged the Dim
mycratic" party into the Liberal Republi-
can party, preserving, however, all its prin-
ciples intact, with only change of name.
But ye gods! the "Dimmycrats" of this
blessed old Bourbon city can't see it; and
led on by that old scOld, the Picaya0e (ride
its daily shreWish articles, not forgetting
its sharp scolding Of Beauregard, Long
street, Hebert and others, they want to die
in the last ditch rather than give up
name.
But my object is to urge the convention
now in session 20 nominate for Governor
H. c. Warmoth as the most available man,
and to-day the most popular young states
man in the State. His availability consists
in his power to bring order out OF confu-
sion, and in the large number Of his adhe-
rents, both of white and colored citizens,
who have full confidence in his desire to do
all he can for the State of Louisiana and
its welfare. His enemies are few, but, ye
heavens! how bitter and loud.mOuthed
they are; how they butt and rear up, as at
piece of red flannel Haunted in their faces.
They make more noise than so many bulls
of the improved breed confined in a pasture
in fly time.
This noise must not impose on the coun-
try members of the convention. Governor
Warmoth has had his character torn to tat
tiers, but to-day he stands higher in the es-
timation OF the people than the writer ever
supposed one SO roundly abused could ever
reach. A young man, WhOse star is in the
ascendant, and who Is yet destined to
reach the highest position in the gift
of the people, let Louisiana, in its
present convention Of the people, nominate
him for reelection, and success will crown
the ticket,
This is the say of an old time ''Dimmy-
crat," but one who is progressive enough to
read the signs Of the times. A. r.

THE LAST D1TCHBRs IN THB STREET
Queer Attempt at Torch. Lighting

Yesterday evening a TumOr prevailed on
the street that the Last Ditchers were going
to have a display at night which would
knock the grand demonstration OF Saturday
night into a cooked hat. Little attention
was paid to it, and it was supposed to be
onlya bit of boasting. But about eight
o'clock there suddenly appeared, on
Camp street, the aUaut .c0ur'ierS of the
procession-some ten or twelve boys
carrying torches and transparencies.

ton Campaign 1872" preceded about
one hundred yards by an imperial-purpIed
and red clad procession called the "Wide
Awakes." With red torches, red banners,
red cloaks and red hats, this small multi
tude passed along the street. They
numbered, perhaps, a hundred and fifty
men, but, as if ashamed of their principles
and purposes, they marched in silence. Ar
irving opposite the REPUBLICAN office, the
club were evidently inclined to serenade
us, and halted for that purpose, but the
leaders wouldn't hear to it, They stormed
and sWOre we were on the "other side"
and very reluctantly the club marched on,
the band only succeeding in giving the first
few notes of Hail to the chief, who in tri-
umPh advances" evidently meaning there
by to indicate the REPUBLICAN.

failed to reach the train Sunday morning.

the road Twenty-Five cents was freely
offered for a New Orleans daily, but there
were none to be had, and disappointment
was depicted on hundreds of faces. The
Importance of the daily trains on the No

do without the daily news.
