Something About the Recent Meeting of the
Association.

Association.
N. y. Times Democrat, Sept.3
Gen. Jastremski, editor of the Louisiana
REVIEW and president of the Louisiana Press
Association, returned from Detroit, Mich,
yesterday morning, where he had been in at
tendance at the recent meeting of the Ma
tlonal Editorial Association. John Dymond,
editor OF the Louisiana Planter, Mr.. James b.
Adams, o%Sae Hammond Leader also of the
delegation from this State, returned with him.
In regard to the trip Gen. Jastremski said
1.-The meeting was the largest ever held by
The association which was organized in New
Orleans about the close of the Cotton Ceuten-
NAL Exposition. 1t held meetings at Cincin
natl, Denver, San Antonio, and Detroit Next
year the meeting will be held at Boston and
| trust that the delegation to the Louisiana
Press Association will be commissioned by
the City Council, the commercial exchanges,
etc, to invite the National Editorial Ass0eia-
tion to meet i'll New Orleans in the fall of
1871 1t is a vast and growing organization,
which, in my opinion is destined to exercise
powerful influence in creating unity of
sentiment upon questions affecting the~yener-
al welfare of the country aud in breaking
down sectional prcjudiCes. The editors from
the various States are brought in direct con
tact with each other at these meetings. They
discuss the questions at issue. They have oc-
casion TO do the same thing with the pee lie
| of the localities where the meetings are held
and TO observe the resources, thpS industries
