Resolved. That we arraign H. C. Warmoth for
violation of his solemn obligations, both as Re-

his refusal even BY bayonets to permit the honest
representatives of the people to compass reforms,
and for his repeated defiance of the public will
QppOiDtees are Democrats, and that he
viii combat the republican viii Of the nation when
expressed in the denomination of President Grant
are candid admissions that he is inimicsl to the
Republican party, while his shameless malversion

to human kind We rejoice, therefore, that on the
ninth of August last the Republican party Of Louis
ana cast him forth from its midst and that the
reverence for the executive trust, shall be sum-

Mr.. j. Harralson, OF Alabama, after an
nouncing that he was a member OF the con-
ventiou said he, at first, did not intend to
have anything to say on local politics; but
he went on to speak of the Legislature,
where fifty-one members turned out forty
FIVE. The speaker then dropped into the
war question, after he had said Grant would
be the next President, and. according to
hin, the greatest result achieved by the
war was the emancipation proclamation.
Then he spoke to the ladies, some Of whom
he saw in the audience. He knew of some
colored men in the audience who would sell
their brethren for mess of pOttage. The
illusions Of the speaker to the proper con-
duct of the ladies, who should not kick at
him with the tongue, but kick him with
your foot.
Speaking of the Democratic party and
their policy, he told story of q boy in war
times, who was making tor fowl, was met
NV ctran xphn ad q VI
going to catch that bird! else obleeged to
catch him; Use out O. meat" In this way
the Democrats were making for 1.-THE mig
GER" They were obliged to catch hiNt
they were out OF meat. But, said he. doL' / any
O. you niggers put any faith in 'em; they'll
go back on you. They'll make you pay tor
all this. He didn't believe there was De-
mocratic niger in the crowd; if there was,
he was ashamed to own it. Don't you let
'em get into power; if you do they'll put
the saddle on you Tor the next twenty
years. In Alabama they had shut off The
schools from the colored' children. All that
the new superintendent has done is to
write circulars saying what the former man
did not do, and what he is going to do.
You let 'em get into power and they'll say,
We've got this thing now-shut up, SAM
Harralson's speech was full of homely allu-
sions and remarks, which were directed
his color not to give way to the blandish-
ments. of the Democratic party. A great
many colored men say, "Well, I've BIN
votin' all the time, an l amt got nOthin
yet" The Democrats have stopped saying
about the forty acres of land and a mule
the story began with them, and when they
got it up knew it was not 80. The speaker
kept the crowd in good humor the entire
length of his speech, which was mingled
with aDoodOfaa and uSofuI SaviRDS we'll an.
piled TO the subject.
THE~NORTH SIDE STAND.
The meeting at this stand was organized
in the selection Of Charles w. Lowell as
president, and a long list of vice presidents.
Mr.. Lowell, on taking the chair, began a
speech set in the same phrases one might
expect, but was subject to interruption
from the crowd, who, as the speaker went
on, manifested great unwiihnyness to let
him proceed. Having finished, Mr.. Har
ralson, of Alabama, was introduced, but
the interruptions continued, gathering more
force and intensity, until it was impossible
to hear word unless it was mingled with
the epithets and other cries that came from
the front. MIR. Harralson grew confused,
and finally yielded to the opportunities of
the discOrdant thrOng.
Mr. j. r. G.. Pitkin also attempted to make
a speech, but upon him was vented the
greater part of the clsmor and roar which
had assaulted the other speakers. Not a
word could be heard from any of the nu.
merous men who attempted to speak. Mr..
J. Henri Burch replied to the roar of the
throng, abiding to them as coming from
whisky dens and warehouses. Messrs. w.
S. Mudgett, William II. Toy and DR.. Wor-
rail- attempted speech making, but as in the
other cases, were not allowed to proceed,
or if they persisted, were met by such
loud calls and cries they were obliged
to desist. While DR.. Worrall was
platform by the Singing of the crowd, and
announcing himself from Virginia, began a
speech from the confederate standpoint and
he was listened to "till the last bugle
sounded" and the lights were put out. The
cries were of this description:
shut up
"Go home and 60 to bed.''
What have you got to say about it -
You're a liar ~
To DR.. Worrall:
'How much did you s+eal!'
"YOu rat!'
1t is impossible to reproduce any portion
of the epithets used, as they are such as
should not appear in the reports OF decent
journal. All taken together made the
meeting at the north stand a decided fail
ure, so far as hearing the speeches or making
a continuous report are concerned. The
meeting, after the lights were put out, re-
paired to the south stand, in the midst of
violent yells and shrieks, whence it soon
after adjourned, and the crowd dispersed.
