The following is the oommuuioutiou in full presented by the Louisiaua delega? tion to the National Democratic Con? vention: As repr?sentatives of tho De? mocracy of tho State of Louisiaua, the solemn duty is imposed upon OH, at this moment, of voting unanimously fur Charles O'Conor as the caudidatu of thu Demooratio pnrty for President, aud for John Quincy Adams for Vice-president. We believe that we represented, so furas individual opinion oan be reproseuted in the aggregate of a political body, the trae principles of u republican govern? ment. It came on us us an inspiration that Charles O'Conor aud John Quincy Adams might save the republic O'Conor h*s refused to be our standard-bearer. History must pass ou his reasons. We believe him to be a citizen eminently pure and devoted to a republican govern? ment, as contemplated by Jefferson und by Jackson, and without ostentation, when occasion required heroism in asser? tion of principles. With profound re? gret, we huve heard epithets applied to him by members of this Contention, sinoe his absolute declination bas been made known, which could only be ap? plied to the basest of men. Hypocrisy and cowardice were attributed to him. We believe that the lust bopo of the republio rested with this Convention. To us it is a mutter of utter indiff?rence whether Grant or Greeley succeed. With sad hearts, we fursee the death of Democratic principles aud a republican government. Let us pray to God that the impending revolution muy be with? out blood. We came here in a spirit of fraternity, nnd in that spirit we part from a majority of you. The Convention, before the deuuueiatious of O'Conor wore uttered, had not, iu our opinion, exhausted ult becoming means of pre? vailing on hun to accept the distinguished honor tendered him. Gentlemen, we leave yon, with the painful conviction that wo eau no longer serve our common country, our State, our principles, by re? maining with you. Signed David Scully, E. C. Kelly aud J. H.

H?B second confession, ? start? ed from him at the end of a rou-, we copy us follows, from the correspondence of the St. Louis Republican: He gave his narnu as ?'anzey, aud said it wus not Coburn, as stated iu his first confession. That his booie was at Mount Ayr, Iowa, where ho bad a wifo and oue child. The parties he had murdered were five in number-a man with his wife and two children, aud another mun who wus unmarried. He said they were traveling in a lumber wagon, uud that they wore returning from Kuusns to their home in Minnesota. He met them first on Thursday, the loth. Having no money and traveling iu the same direc? tion, they kindly asked him to join them, whioh he did. The wagon being large, they all, six iu number, slept iu it. Tho married mau, his wife and two children, slept on a platform raised ou the frout of thu wagon, while the remaining two slept in the bottom of the bed below. Last Sunday uight they camped within half a mile of a house near Burr Oak Grove. At this place the wretch con? ceived the plau of murdering them and making way with their horst's aud wagon, their cu'?'e, (three or four iu number,) and wb&w 7er mouey they might have in their possession. After having murdered them, be intonded to secrete them in the brush on Clear Creek, near by. That Sunday night, little dreaming of the black hearted wretch they had taken under their shelter, uud the awful fut? that uwaited them, they laid down in the wagon for the night, and all nave thc murder.T were sound asleep. Satisfying himsulf that all worn sleep iug, ho took a loaded pistol which lay ir the wagon, und placing it at the head o the mun who was sleeping by his sidi fired. lie iustuutly killed him. Tin married maa beiug aroused by tho re port of the pistol rose up, uud. thinking Tan7.ey had fired at a strango dog whicl had boen annoyiug them during tin night by barking, said "Good! Good!'

Thu following grotesquely horrible story is translated from tho Paris Figaro: This day eight days a wedding woe ceiebruted ut A-. A merchant's clerk named Marius Crumpin married a young girl of eighteen, culled Auna lt-. Auna U-wus au orphan from childhood, and hud been educated by au old priest dead six mouths ago. Though sho was vory attractive and had a dowry of 50,1)00 fraucs-i respectable sum for u Bingle clerk-Crampiu was far from jubilunt when be left tho church. Some of his friends, in fact, on hearing of bis murringo, hud sneered at tho mat? ter in rather u singular manner, without offering ?ny explanations, und bad de? clined to be present at tho wedding. Besides, when the sacrifice was consum? mated, Crampiu felt tormented by sus? picions which before marriage be re? pelled with contempt. lu order to dis? pel them, he drank deep, and toward mid night he was pretty mellow. It was now time to retire to rest. The bride weut first and extinguished the taper. Five minutes afterwards, Crampiu iu turn arrived. "Hallo!" bu exclaimed, stumbling, "my wife pretends to be asleep. We must light the caudle again." But just us hu was about to strike u light with a match, he heard a rustling of cur tuius, aud a mau appeared-a mun of grout height, wrapped iu a white shroud that was spotted over with blood, aud without a hoad. He carried a red lan? tern. Crampiu uttered a still.-d excla? mation, the bride rosa hastily, und the two remaiued spell-bound by terror at tho frightful spectacle before their eyes. For, from the corners of the room, emerged other three headless persons, ail clothed io white but blood-bespat? tered winding sheets, each with a red lautere in the oue hand, nud bis bead in the other. They stationed themselves in front of the fire-place and saluted the young couple ic u ceremonious manner. Then, strange to tell, they spoke. Crampiu, in bis terror, knew not whe? ther the voice issued from the budy or from the head. "Good-day to you, Citizeu Crumpin," said oue of the head leas beings; "I am Joseph GrigoiB, a client of my wife's great-greatgraud futhtr." "Give mo thy baud, Crampin," said the other, sneeringly; "Madame knows me too. I lost my bead in 1838, at tho hands of her grand-father." By this time, Crampiu was down on his knees, uud his bride was moaning iu a state of distraction from fear. But they were alone in the house, which was situ? ated at the gates of the town, und no? body came near them. The third phau toui then advauced. "Little one," he said, in au amiablo tone, "thou cam-t buust of having hud a grand-father who did his work admirably. I, too, passed through his bauds!" "Good God!" groaueil Crampiu, in despair, "the man without o head speaks through his nose!" "Step out, children," called out tho fourth spectre, "the nuptial ball is about to begin. Forward both!" xVnd the fonr guillotined persons tukiug their plaoes, bioko iuto a dauce-a supernatu? ral can-cau that frozo the blood in the venn of the young couple. They leaped up and down, backwards and forwards, spread wido their winding sheets like great white wings, and played like jug? glers with their heads. It was frightful, uud ull the more when suddenly they burst out in chorus und sang some staves of u horribly grotesque song. Then, all ut once, opeuing tho door, they disap? peared in the dark lobby, ufter having deposited the four heads ou the knees of tho bride. "Merciful heavens!" gasped the latter, with horror, "the clients of my family 1" "What family, madame?" yelled Crumpin, horrified, in the midst of his terror, by the exclamation. "For? give me," supplicated the bride, throw? ing herself on her knees before him; "Grand-papa was au executioner." The wretched Crampiu sprang to his feet und then fell senseless. As soon as he re? turned to himself, without taking time to pack his trunk, be precipitately left the town, and has not been again seeu. The investigation of tho polico into the mysterious affair resulted in tho disco? very that the four gnillotiued persons were none others than the friends of Crampiu, who had learned, one knows not bow, of . tho unfortunate connection of the bride. Their four heads were four melons. GREELEY A NEOIIO TRADER.-Napo? leon, Arkansas, ul way s was a lively pluce.

Seven years have elapsed since the Inst hostile shot was fired in the American civil war, and tho shadow of the bayonet still lingers over the South. It is the bayonet upholding in power the carpet? bag regime which hus robbed tho im? poverished people of over 8200,000,000. The re-election of Graut means the per? petuation of these cruel outrages. It means poverty, despair and death to a third of the Union. It means loss of trade, derangement of business, and eventual bankruptcy to tho North. Tho South cannot be plundered and ber in? dustries paralyzed without corresponding sufferings at the North. \Neto York News.

Row AT PriiOBTU CHURCH.-On San day, the 25th ul ii mo, Pilgrim Church, on the Western side of the County, wt s the scene of a riot and tumult disgrace? ful to the congregation, and exceedingly annoying to the surrounding country. This is au African church, presided over und ministered unto by Rev. Sauoho Sanders, ono of the Hubie legislutors of the State. Ou this occasion, as we aro informed, one Raymond Wright, co? lored, presented himself at tho altar, asking to be taken into membership with tho church. In putting him thiough the preliminary examination as to hiB fitness for a seat umong the faithful, it leaked out that he had always voted the D?mo? cratie ticket, und that he had not re? pented of this sin. The order was given ut once for him to ho cast out as an un? clean thing, and in pursuauce thereof, he was marched out of the church and out of the yard. Somehow or other, a collision then occurred between the po? lice, detailed by the Rev. Sancho, and a portion of the congregation, and soon the fight became general; men, women and children participated, and continued the riot during the greater portion of the day. Sancho is a burning und a shining light in the pulpit and in the halls of legislation, and keeping, as he does, both the religious ?nd politicul con? science of his race, will, uo doubt, be returned again to the House of Repre? sentatives this fall.-Chester Reoorter. A COLORED CHDRCH IN AN UPROAR. The oolored Baptists in this oity have, we understand, a pastor who preaches religiou and not Radical politics on Sun? days. Saturday night, loose who knew his Conservative sentiments, without consulting him or informing him of the mutter, elected him third Vice-President of the Greeley and Brown Club. Well, ho went to church, without having seen tho paper, and prepared to preach. He was met by an angry Radical ignorant oro nd, composed of snob bullet-headed durkies as frequent Radical meetings. Tbey told him he could not preach, and some even threatened to turn him ont of the church, erase his name from the roll, aud u motion was made to that effect. All this was because they thought hu dared to think for himself and have principles of his own. His assevera? tions of innocence finally quieted them. Ho had to swear on the Bible that he knew nothing about the meeting, before they would let him go into the pulpit. Why do not the United States marshals Hrrest such disturbers of the peace?
