ANOTHER CHAMPION.

A new Republican orator has made his debut, and one of unusual promise. At the meeting of the Crescent City Republican Club, on Wednesday evening, Mr. Lionel Adams, son of Col. Lucien Adams was called to the rostrum, and in eloquent and forcible terms defended Gov. Warmoth and the Republican administration of Louisiana.

We regret not having space for the speech entire - a synopsis would be unfair to the orator. We make room, however, for one paragraph.

After comparing the present prosperous condition of Louisiana with the distress and ruin which seemed almost universal when the Republican party assumed the reins of Government and ascribing a due meed of praise for the happy change to the Chief Executive, the speaker said:

Such has been the conduct of Gov. Warmoth from the commencement of his administration until the present time; such has been the irreproachable character of a policy we have supported and defended in the past. And, if it has been so moderate and so propitious; if it has been accompanied by noble daring, heroic valor and philanthropic self-sacrifice; if it has restored Louisiana to her former position among the States of the Union, let us gather around him who has transformed our condition from gloom and distress to brightness and prosperity; let us thank him for his labors in the past; let us extend to him our sanction, our encouragement and our support in the days to come.

Mr. Lionel Adams is a graduate of the High School of this city, and studied rhetoric and oratory under John F. Deane, Esq., who has just reason for pride in his pupil. He is at present preparing for admission to the bar, and we predict for him a brilliant career.

The young gentleman received a unanimous vote of thanks from the meeting.
