The Van Bureniles in this State are at their old
game of brsg-a system OF political Inanoeuyering
which sorely frightened US last July. but which the
result proved TO have beon mere crOysing. They talk
of carrying the State. There is not the slightest
ground ofaPprehension. The Wings ara thoroughly
aroused IN every parish. Our only fear. that Of apathy
on the part Of the opposition. is entirely ~dispelled. and
we shall send tho Von Buten party ia November so
far up Salt River. that To use Mr.. Tsllmage's express
SION. It will take u voyage Of discovery under auother
Columbus. 10 find out their whereabouL More ofthis
anon.
The Baton Rouge Convention will he q glorious
affair. We shall have fully 5000 delegates in aiten-
dance. which will be enormous ior a State that polls
only thrice that number of votes.
The weaIheris extremely unsettled, and We sh all
probably have the squinocIal gale between this and
October.
