The proceedings Of the democratic
convention for the nomination of officers
for Brown county, will be found in anoth-
column. Although this was delegate
convention of five from each township,
yet SO great is the interest taken by the

hundreds gathered from all parts Of the
county to be present on this occasion.
Tho greatest degree of harmony was man

good men and true, and we'll qualified TO

STATE ELECTIONS.

IffAbuisiana the democrats have one
majority in the Senate. TIE wings claim
four majority in the lower house. The
first congressional district has elected a
whig, the I'd democrat; IN the Sd there
was close vote, but eur latest accounts
do not give the result. The wings have
heretofore carried the State elections in
this State; but it gave Mr.. Van Buren a
small majority in 1885.
From the Mobile Register.
In the Senate, parties stand nine DEM
ocrats, eight Whigs--last year nine
Wings, eight Democrats--showing again
Of one and majority of one for the Ad-
ministration,
In the House, Il is expected that the
Wing majority will be two or three. So
far the Democrats have gained six Rep
Tesentatives and lost one. In the parish
ofRapides, two opposing candidates were
a tie; when the casting vote was given by
the presiding officer to the Wing.
The State elections in Kentucky, In-
diana and Missouri, and for members Of
the legislature in Illinois, take place this
week. By our next publication, we may
be able to give the result in Kentucky
and Indiana.

GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES.

WIN PHACFICE AGAINST WHlG PROFESSIONs'
On the 10th July, while federal whig orators
throughout the country were declaiming against
the " extravagant expenditures of government" !"
a proposition was made in Congress to reduce the
expondiuees, or to authorize the President to
postpone certain expenditures, if there should b
deficiency OF money in the treasury. This
proposition was strenuously opposed by the whig
members, who preferred that money should be bor-
rowed, ratAsr than that the appropriation should
be reduced, as the following extracts from the
proceedings will show.
The army appropriation Dill bong before the
House, the following amendment ~ the Senate

HARRfsoN,s DEMoCRACY.

The federal party are taking infinite pains 10
make the public believe thai Gen Harrison has
ever beeh JehbrsOniun republican. Ifthls had
beer the fact is II not little strange, 20 say the
least, that Mr.. Jefferson never spoke ofhm in
terms Of cemmendation? Gen. Harrison however
sets this matter at rsst--when charged by John
Randolph with being a warm supporter of the
black cockade administration Of old John Ad-
ANS, he ffaukIy acknowledged that no certainly
was favorable TO that administration The fol-
lowing extract from the journals of the Senate Of
the United States, during the federal 'SDign OF
Terror" when alien and sedition laws were the
order Of the day, will show William H. Harrison
to have been particular friend and especial fa-
vorite of old John Adams

IL is|not strange that the federal party
whose only hope Of success, is by misrepresents-
ton, should resort to such palpabIs lalsshoods,
as the assertion that Gen. Harrison is an origin
al Jefferson democrat. How Is the name Of tha,

has also bssn made to represent Gen. Harrison
as JaaksOn democrat. The federal state con-
ventiOn Of the 22nd February, by inviting Gen.
Jackson to visit tlis State and unite with them
in eslsbrnting the 4.hSfJuly, set aAoat this dan-
der apon the name of Gen. jackson: and Gen.
Harrison, while at Columbus, by speaking of ''his
friend, Gen. Jackson" evinesd desire to give
aid 70 this kind Of deception. But Gen. jackson,
psrceiving the object of this profssssd friendship
by those who have always been his worst political
opponents, gave them such rsbuke, as they will
not soon forget, and one similar to what we nigh
have expected, from Jefferson, had he been still
living.
Every voter knows what kind Of "densoerGt''
old John Adams was, and it will readily be con-
cluded, after reading the following extracts,
WHISTLER Gen. Harrison is Jefferson democrat
or a blacksockade fsderalist.
From the Ohio Statesman.
We have given the testimony of Gen. jackson,
that Harrison has always acted with the federal
party and there could not be batter testimony,
But we give now the aged'and veteran, the Hon.
John Fowler, of Lexington Ky. Captain Fow-
Ter served in Congress in the days that tried mems
souls; republican Of the good eli stamp-a dem
ocrat indeed. Hear him, democrats, and act ac-
cordingly. We copy from the Lexington Gazstte,
which speaks in the highest terms of eulogy Of
this friendpof freedom and equality of rights:
LEXINGTON, June 81, 1910. :
stSir--Ths position you took in Congress, on
the side Of the democratic party in the years 1899
and 1900, and the severe struggle which ensued
between that party and the federaiss, is an event
which have no doubt is fresh in your memory.
The contest now going on for the Presidency is
one Of the same character, and partakes ofall its
malignaty and denunciation. The Democratic
party then, as now was abused and slandered BY
a moneyod aristocracy, which was insidiSusly
rushing to change this government, in its infancy
to a monarchy.
The Spirit Of the Revolution rose, and the fed
eral party was crushed by the election Of Mr..
JeferSOn. 1t is believed as you were member
of Congress at that period, with Gen. VIM. II.
Harrison. now candidate for the Presidency,
you know on which side Of the question he took
his stand--was he Federalist, and did be hoist
the Black CSckade, and did he in speech which
he made in Congress oppose the reduction of Ad-
ans standing army? Your response TO this let
ter will undeceive thousands of your fellow citi-
zens, who are cropping their way in darkness.
