Though the work of the Liberal conven-
ton has been materially delayed in order
to give the conference committee full time
to use its best endeavors to accomplish
the work for which it was created, the de-
lay has not been entirely unaccompanied
with good results. As good fortune would
have it the convention has been addressed
each day by able and prudent speakers,
who have not failed to make most fa7ora-
bic impressions upon all present.
Yesterday, Immediately after the ad-
jounment Of the convention, R. n. Ogden,
Esq, was called upon for speech. He
was tardy in responding but finding he
could not eyade the call, he mounted the
rostrum, and, bowling to the convention
and the vast audience present, delivered
one Of the most stirring and eloquent adj
dresses, Astounding in rich language and
classical illusions, that it has been our
good fortune to hear for many day He
commenced by abiding to the great Lib
eral movement that is now sweep
ing over the land like magic. In
this State he believed, upon the peo-
pie Of the country parishes devolved
the greatest interest, and to them he
looked for the success Of the Liberal
cause. IIr. Ogden pictured Louisiana in
her days Of prosperity and adversely, and
believed that no party in particular is
justly chargeable nth having brought
about her present condition. That, he be-
ieyed, was the result Of events that are
to all nations evidently abiding
to war and its sad consequences. The
speaker then went into history of the
different parties that now divide the people
Of this State and country. He pronounced
the growth Of the Liberal party marvel
GUS. and said the quarrels of the Dem
ocratic and Reform parties had led the
people to look to the Liberal party as
heir means Of salvation. He thought thu
Reform party TO blame for the divisions

Democratic party, but credited both with
