As we expected. the Baton Rouge Con-
vention fulfilled Its important duties in
a patriotic manner and with commend
able prudence and sound judgment. The
ticket presented to the voters Of the
State, In point Of peculiar fitness for the
different Offices and its great popularity
and strength as whole and in oil its
parts, Is entirely satisfactory and could
not have been better. It'll not surprising
that these nominations have produced
universal and hearty enthusiasm and
have inspired the strongest hope OF an
early redemption Of the State.
Such platform as ours and the
OF Gen. Nichols, will insure
our ticket q glorious victory. The col
ored people can vote this ticket with
every assurance that all their rights will
be sacredly protected Gen. Nichols is
their true friend and never will forfeit
his word or betray them.-[ Lafayette
