Our young friend Drayton Il. Hayes,
Esq, the chief spokesman in the Ho-
mcr Liberal meeting, has signaliscd
his advent into politics With 4 kind of
off-hand desperation not very cretlita-
bic to his good Judgment. Thus, he
moved the selection of the President of
the meeting; had six vice presidents
appointctl; explained the object of the
meeting, and then made the speech Of
the occasion, in which we find some
very Incorporate language, even for a
man advanced in years. The delibera-
lions Of the June Convention are char
acterized as "angry clamorings and
silly debatcs.' Tho ticket is compared
to a corpse; and it is charged that the
Convention was run in the interest OF
New Orleans. And then follows this
exhibition Of Incorporate zeal:
The late Democratic Convention
seems to have been controlled by such
men as theSe-such old hacks and fOS-
sis as Cotton, the Hunt family, Wick
| life, lIyams and 4 whole school of
| pestiferous little asses who occupied the
time of the Convention to the cXclu-
sion of vital interests Of the State.
The names given by Mr.. Hayes are
the names Of old men and honored
men. Whatever may be said Of their
sagacity, they are far more honest than
ninc-tcntfls of the men in the Liberal
Republican faction, with whom our
friend seems determined to make an
alliance, whether or no; and it will be
they do not have the good of the State
at heart. They have all been high in
the councils.of the State, and no blcm-
ish rests upon their records. 1t is not
so with the men Mr.. Hayes and ourscI1
fought so industriously in 1868 and
1870. Neither can the people tc in.

ton than either of the mcli our young

all the ''rcstifcrous little nsscs' com.
binra to confuse the Convention up tt
the time Of making nominations. We
commend this particular fact to on,
/ young friends serious attention.
1t is :, mistake also to say that New
Orleans rum the Convcntior, or that il
was run in her interest. The !ruth is
New Orleans was badly split up. She
had four candidates for Governor. and
could not agree, Gil either of them, and
hence supported Coz. McTTncry, who
was expecting only ii fraction of her
vote. And ut any time during the
Convention, the country could have
controlled the Convention, or made its
own nominations. We really believe
that the only Office New Orleans was
united in soliciting, was thai of Lieu
tenant Governor FOR Mr.. Jonas. and ne
! better man could have been found
