THE sTRAIGHT-oUT PARISH CON-
VENTI0N.

vention held it's first session in Lyceum
| Hall yesterday. 1t was called to order at
| half past twelve O'clock by I. A. Bartlette,
| who nominated George w. White as tempo
rary president, and NJ. A. Livaudais as tenn
| porary secretary.
The roll was called, when it was found
! that all the wards were represented with
| the exception of one.
| Mr. Bartlette said he had a cOmmunica-
| ton from Mr. D. Scuuy, the representative
! Of Louisiana at the Louisville convention,
which he read, and which is as follows:
! NEW ORLEANS, October "a, 1872.
| To the President and members of the Democratic
Parish Conventions
| Fellow-citizens-As the representative of
| the Democratic party of Louisiana IN the
| National Executive Committee, as soon as
| Mr. O'COnor signified his acceptance of the
nomination bY the Louisville convention for
| the Presidency, it became my duty TO invite
| a consultation Of those who have withst0od
| that vicious hurrah at Cincinnati, which,
unfortunately, was echoed at Baltimore.
| That we should preserve a distinct organ
| ization as the only party in the country pos
! sessed OF beneticent principles OF govern
ment was regarded by them as a paramount
| duty.
You are assembled to maintain the doc
| trHnes which were so grandly illustrated by
| Jefferson and by Jackson. Our office IS at
this moment specially an office OF concllla-
| ton. Let us 60 out OF our camp, and let us
! beseech our wandering brethren to come
| back to US. In this behalf voices more
| potent than the voice of the humble indivi-
| dual who is addressing you will be heard.
| We are not numerous. To Justify what we
! are doing we must present the gravest rea-
| sons. and our action must be guided by the
| MODEST wisdom. Our reasons are abundant.
| Action IS with YOU. God bless yOu, gentle
| SCl,rS in apYrGppatic faith
