ID. b, Penn Guards ''-SecOnd Ward.
There was a large and spirited meeting
of this club last evening at the wigwam,
corner Of DelOrd and Carondelet streets.
Mr.. Henry A. Buchanan, the active and
enterprising president of the club, is as
sisted by corps of excellent officers, all
equally in earnest in the good work of eBe-
waiting the worthy and distinguished head
of the Liberal ticket, Colonel D. B. Penn,
to the gubernatorial chair, while laboring
of course to push on the whole Liberal
ticket, State and national, to success in
November.
After the regular business of the meet
ing was over, Colonel S. N. J. Smith was
introduced to the club, and made one Of
the best off-hand speeches we have heard
in the canvass, closely analyzing the ac-
ton of the Democratic party in this State
as contrasted with the action of the party
at Baltimore, and demonstrating from the
record that the united State ticket, as put
forth in Louisiana, was palpable fraud
upon the. people of this State, designed 10
gull the voters of New Orleans into the
support of a Democratic ticket for city
officers, and no other object hopefully in
view. He spoke Of the manipulation of
the electoral ticket first put in the field by
the last ditch party as indicating diversion
in favor of Grant under the name Of Gree
ley.
Mr.. Smiths remarks were listened to
with close attention. and elected frequent
applause.
This club now numbers some two hundred
members, and has adopted a parade uni
form of red caps, cape, cuffs and belts, with
white shirts and black pants. Several gen
tIemen have been complimented with an
election as honorary members, who were,
by vote of the club, supplied with a Grim

Penn pin, surmounting a Brown rosette.
