The president appointed on committee on

Emerson Bentley.
On motion j. Sclla Martin, of Caddo, ad-
dressed the convention, pending the reDSrt ! a
of the committee on resolutions. He refer }
red u the late issues nf the day, and said T.
that when the right hand of fellowship was =
extended TO the convention mp stairs and =
TepClled with unparalleled discOurtesV, he II
looked upon it rs q calamity. We can =
never arrive at proper political under u
standing until the negro forgets his preiu- u
dices, as the white man has forgotten his. y
AS the Southerner has already forgotten .
the feeling Of the war, so must the COlOTed =
men forget their late tTiumphs and unite. | -
As ! was in advance Of the feelings years -
ago, SO am ! right now, and | am just as -
convinced that ten years will prove me -
right as the last ten years have shown the O.
.riumphs of ab0liGonism when the prospects | q,
looked dark. q
have no doubt but that majority of the | n,
people up stairs believe they are right, and Il
hat they sincerely believe their rights | of
gould be ieOpardized by going with the D;
liberal movement. I think they acted on In
heir sympathies instead of their reason; W
mt they are organized in such cabals it is fo
impossible to reach them with reason. l re
'elieve they are perfectly honest. Those as
men who have got hold of them have used III
heir influence to keep the colored man un- ca
er a system of vassalage within the parey
ines. Are not the principles of the Liberals an
qually Republican with those of the people tn
p staiTsl Had Mr.. Packard had at heart only tn
he success of Republican principles, why is TO
he stiCkled so on certain namesl Why hold su
n TO them and defeat cOmprJm misc. Then. | ri,
aYing failed in compromise, where is their ne
Oasted repubhcanisml They Game here co
nd insisted 30 strongly on their set do
hat they showed they were animated by | in
ersOnal motives. Had they any other
round they would never have rejected the nj,
rains, heart aud body of their whole con tn
9rn, George w. Carter. [Applausel There tn
only one thing they are afraid of, and Co
nat Il Amart men-auy man who knows Bd
lore than they do. There is one thing do m,
OF do, and thar is lay down and die l
i'll not allow them to kick me twice | On

wn seeking. Iii
We will have 30 20 into the parishes and lar
yht. 1t will be said only handful Of ne TO
'Oes went with that side; but it Is better fen
at the colored people should compromise bri
ith the people of the parishes rather than lin
lrrender their rights to the cabals in the col
ty of New Orleans. When the cOlored ant
,Ople get rid of prejudices they can unite for
the same platform with the country and no,
lite in one policy. Lieutenant Governor tiCl
nchback said his people could tell them by
hundred truths or a hundred lies and il | Co
