NoS-NTERvENTIoN IN FEDERAL Politics.


Mr.. ii. N. Ogden said, on being intro
duced; derive great comfort from the fact
that the weather is too hot for exhaustive
arguments. ] feel that the presence of such
an audience.as this is a sufficient refutatiOn
| of the charge of the weakness of the ticket.
/ consider the late meeting in Lafayette
square, with its motives of ratification as a
Liberal party, as an absurdity so bald and
patent that anyone may see it; for, If Gree
ley and Brown are TO- be President and
Vice President of the United States, how,
in the name of sense, can they accomplish
this result without the aid of the Democratic
party as a national organization l intend
to stand upon the policy of n0n-intervention
in federal politics throughout the campaign,
no matter what the results may be. You
have seen, in the last four years, your prop
ertY despoiled; you have lost everything
except honor, but with all that you
have lineage still glorious. / beg of

spotless before the people. [Applause.l We
are told We have no right to run in LOuisi-

You withstand upon principle. They are
telling you TO have a coalition with man
who, for the last four years, has put his foot
upon all the interests of the people. The
devil is never without specious arguments,
and | am surprised at the few he has to
offer on this. occasion. IF you have the
manhness to stand up for the vindicatien of

to you. making by it what little reputation
he can, and you viii put your ticket in
the field without the slightest trouble.


NDoRsEG GREELEY AND BROWN.


Mr. B. F. Jonas said, in substance, the
dead have come to life and the tenants of
the last ditch have risen in force. may
have lived in the ditch until the people
spoke. They have spoken; ;thaVe nominated
Greeley and Brown, and the people have
assembled by acres to ratify those nomina-
tiOns. Though idle to say they are our first
choice, such as would be in the days of
place and power, they are liberal. They
were not with us during the war, but when
that war closed, they sought to raise the
heavy hand that had been placed upon us.
Seeing that the Republican party had lent
itself to persecution aud oppression, Horace
Greeley, through the most influential paper
in the party, turned his energies to the dis
placement of the man he was instrumental
In placing in his seat, denounced his nepOt-





renouncing his allegiance, cut loose
from the party, and in all honesty and
manliness assailed the President with all
his force. Gratz Brown, seeing the con-
dition of Missouri under the Repub-
hcan party, threw all his force to overturn
its power, although he succeeded in giving
over the State to the Democracy for all
time. 1t is our duty to give all the honor
to these men. In other States they have no
honor to sacrifice in combination with other
parties. In the State of Illinois a gentle
man who gait the Republican party, when
honest men were departing from it, was
I'D at the head of the opposition. Who

was no division in the Republican party;

p. THOSE RESOLUTIONS.


The president mildly asked the crowd in
the house to form in procession after the
meeting was over, bat seeing them begin to
stampede, told them to wait few minutes
until they heard the resolutions.


Mr.. Lewis then stepped forward and read
resolutions which ratified the united State
ticket, and went it strong on the ratifica-
ton, but drew it mild on the ratification of
Greeley and Brown. They read as follows:


WHEREAS, The Democratic party of the
United States, and of the State of Louisiana,
through proper representatives, have nomi-
mated the following ticket; and


Whereas, The National Democratic con-
ventiOn at Baltimore has adopted as plat
form the resolutions proposed at Cincinnati;


Res0lUed, That we, the Democracy of the
parish of Orleans, in mass meeting assem-
bled, do cordially indorse and ratify the
above nominations and platform.


-ResolUed, That we pledge our best energies
and heartiest endeayors to the success of
the foregoing nominees, recognizing in them
men whose character is the best guarantee
for the return Of the State and federal gov
ernments to a pure, honest and cOnstitu-'
tional administration.

The president failed to put the resolutions
to the house. and then an adjournment took
