believe the question of annexation, as now pre-
sented, to be mere party question, brought for
ward expressly TO operate upon the Presidential
election, and that it ought not to have the slightest
influence upon the course Or action Of any member
of the Wing party. Indeed the ground taken upon
it in this quarter, that those who support Mr.. Clay
are unfavorable to the Southern institutions and
opposed to Southern interests, is as insulting as il
is false, and should arouse an honest Indignation
in the breast of every true Wing.

JUDGE RAWLINGS AND The Dis

We give below an extract from the Senate
Journal Of 1s42, at page $50, showing the vote
Of our Senator, Judge Rawlings, on this oll'--
Although a good friend to the District SYSTEM
he voted, as the Journal shows, to postpone
the bill to district the State for the election OF
members 10 Congress, to the 4th Of July. was
the Judge really poking fun at the bill, or did no
really think the Legislature would sit I'LL that
timer 1t did sit from the 2lst Of November TO
the 29th Of February, more than three months.
long enough the Lord knows, and literally did
nothing but mischief-and yet each member
pocketed about $500 Of the Peoples money

Rawlings and G. F. Jackson, want to go back

that John V. L. Mcmahon distinguished Wing
OF Maryland, has joined their ranks. Such is no,
the case. The Same may be said of ninety mine
in every hundred who are reported to have left the
Wings. 1t is part of system adopted by the
Locos to keep their party from going over to the
Wings en- masse. Quit such man as Clay to 10

TRIUMPH OF THE WIGS IN LOUISIANA.
VICTORY!! VICTOR

We received last evening, via Albany, from our
friends Of the New York Tribune, New Orleans
papers Of the 9TH which give most gratifying in
telligence of the result Of the late election in that
State. Damon G. Thbodaux, (Whig,) has beaten
the murderer, Alcee Labranche, the present Loco
Foco incumbent, in the Second Congressional Dis
trict, 600 votes-net Wing gain $50. We give the
following extracts from the Tropic and Bee.-[B os
ton Atlas.
TUE REsULr.-The returns from the different
sections OF the State came in rather slowly, but
they are OF the most cheering character So far as
we are enabled to Judge, the Wings have trumphed
in all quarters. We are satisfied that we have car
RED majority Of branches OF the Legislature, and
that the Wings and Conservatives united, have e.
lected a large majority of the State Convention
That we have also gained two members of Com
gress, is beyond controversy. So far we have
heard, we have gained one member of the Senate,
and most gratifying gain it is, too. Gen David
Edwards, Wing good and true, has been elected
from the ST. Tamnauy district by majority of one
hundred and f.rty votes over InOInas Green Da-
wilson, one of the most radical, noisy and red
mouthed Locofocos in the State. The signal de-
feat of Davidson is a matter of cordial congratuIa.
ton to all our citizens. We are not without hopes
that Mr. L. Sauve has been returned to the Senate
from Jefferson, which will make another gain. 1t
Is tolerably certain that that staunch Wing, Tru-
hah HSIPsS vi OdldHOulu, from lne ma
pdes district-still another gain. There can be
but little doubt, we imagine, that the Wing SUI
preniacy is restored TO the highest branch of our
Assembly-itsef bright political triumph.
For the House, we have already heard Of the
gain of one member-Mr Van Wrinkle, Of Point
Coupee. In the Of the day we confidently
expect TO learn that two Wings have been elected
in the Concordia district in the place of Selby and
Coffee, Locofocos, and that two Wings have been
elected in East Baton Rouge, in place Of Newport
and Morgan, Locofocos. We also rely upon a gain
of two in Rapides. Our majority in the House will
vary from ten to twenty votes.
Second Congressional District Redeemed AS we
have all along predicted, Bannon G. ThbodauS
has been elected to Congress from this district, by
IN overwhelming majority and Mr. Alcee Labranche
has received the decided verdict of the people up.
on the abors he has performed in Congress during
the last session. The success of Mr. Thibodaux is
very gratifying to all true Wings, in more respects
than one. He is gentleman OF good abilities and
fine accomplishment, and will reflect honor in Con
gress upon his constituents. As Wing, he has nc
superiors-he is firm and unyiedng, and his broth
rem will always know where to find him. Below
we give returns they have reached MS. Though
not official, they may be relied on as tolerably accu
| rate.

East Berlin, June 90, 1914.

Some writer in the North American Review for
July, boiling over with patriotic Indignation at
very bitter article in the Foreign Quarterly Re-
view for January, upon the Poets and Poetry of
America, has given vent to his bile in { scorching
article upon the morals, manners and Poetry of
England. We cannot, however, admire the spirit
in which our mother country is done up, and the
natural inference u.s. that the writer is one of the
abused poets and that he wrote under the influence
of the singing attacks of the Quarterly upon his
poetic fame. The tone Of it is utterly unworthy
of the North American. If the English choose to
degrade their Reviews 10 be the mere conduits OF
malignant spleen and national hate and envy, it is
no reason why we should initiate their example.

Wool "AGAIS."-A demagogue attempt has been
made principally in this State, to manufacture political
capital of the against Mr. McKays bill by the
Wings in Congress That bill, it is well known, fixed
the duty on wool at Is per cent 10 per cent
higher than by the existing tariff
There are three very good why the Wings
opposed this BILL and this additional duty First-woo
of that quality is not and cannot Polk himself
urged) be produced here, and hence it needs pro-
lection. The present triing duty is for revenue, and
brings but few thousand dollars annually into the Ma
tional Treasury Besides the additional duty would
only operate indirect upon blankets and similar
indispensable articles the poor, which produced
from this wool Secondly-the duty fine wool is
lowered about 10 Is per by this bill thereby
taking away ONE THIRD of the protection domestic
wool now enjoys, and which has greatly increased
its price, Thirdly-the bill offered by Mr. Mckay pro-
posed surrender the mercies of European pauper
labor again. almost every important New England man
ufacturing nerest--cottons, woolens, plated ware,
boots ard Shoes glass; cutlery, paper &c. &c 1t re-
taned and we believed increased only the high duties
sugar and moasses and varieties of hard ware,
to gain votes in Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Now we
beg these wiseacres to tell whether sensible man
would tear down his whole dwelling to repair
leak in the piazza, consent to that repair, admitting
it was needed if half the roof and one side were be
destroyed
1t will be by the above that take it for grant
ed that the Locoocos really in favor of the ncreas
ed duty referred But glance at mast head this
week will show that Polk himself declares that l.
WOOL SHOULD DUTY FREE. Thus goes the last
prop of this despicabe machine for pulling cool over
the eyes of the people.
