The Louisville Convention.


ocrats at Louisville has. in one feature at
least, been like unto the national demo-
cratic convention at Baltimore-that il
has got through with its business in two
days. 1t has placed in nomination Charles
O'Conor, Esq, Of New York. for Prcsi-
dent. and John Quincy Adams. Esq. Of
Massachusetts,. for Vice. President Of the
United States.
Mr.. O'Conor is very distinguished
lawyer Of New York. He has always
been known as democrat, and has acted

ny frauds.
Mr.. Adams, though young man, has
already national reputation lie also is
persistent democra, in politics. Various
publications by Mr.. Adams, within the
past two or three years, on political sub.
jects, have elected attention for their
soundness of view aud distinctness Of ut
ternnce, particularly in matters affecting
the relations of the South TO the Union,
and while asserting cmphaiically the rights
OF all the States, he has explicitly pointed
out the necessity Of the South accepting
the practical results Of the war. Mr.. Ad-
ans is thus unlike all the other members
of his distinguished family Who have &c.
urcd in the politics Of the country. The
letter Of Mr.. Adams. read to the conven.

Tho New York Times in commenting
upon the letter Of Mr.. O'Conor, rsmsrks
that while the opinions expressed do not
touch very closely the issues before the as

the heads Of the average politicians, they
are at least valuable AZ docirinal studies:
