SUGAR CROP IN LoUisiANA.-The New Or
leans Price Current, well informed journal, con-
tsins the following correction ofa very erroneous
statement now in circulation from the Patent Office
repor. In the statement alluded to under the head
of sugar, the amount produced in Louisiana in
ls4s is put down at a7,l7s,5so pounds. These
figures are altogether erroneous:
"The crop of this State in ls43 was estimated by
us in annual statement fist September last at
l35 900 hhds, but il was afterwards ascertaned 10
have been fully 900 hhds. according to the in
vestigations of Mr.. Degelos, who published mi
mute statement of the product Of each plantation.
The average estimate for each hhd is 900 pounds;
consequently, the whole product was 100000, 900
of pounds instead of s7l7s $780, or trifng differ
ence of about 1903 900 900 pounds"

up processing and believing in the prin-
ciples OF democracy. But in 1910, |
was induced by the boldness with which
the basest charges were made against
the democratic party, and somewhat
affected by the tremendous excitement
got up by the federalist during that
campaign, and from hopes that the great
promises daily made Of future prosper
ity, of "two dollars day and roast
beef,'' might be true to go for "rippe-
canoe and Tyler too." have since

who make them to redeem them. In

OUT FROM THE FOUL PARTY.
"The cry is still they Come" We
cut the following from the Marshall
Expounder:
Messrs. Editors:--I see the States
man is good deal troubled because one
of my anvils flashed the night of the
Democratic gloriication. NowI want
to explain the reason OF it. In 1910 |
used to FIRE thess same two anvils,
(swivels) for "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too" but since then, like good many
others that know, have seen the true
character ofmodern whiggery, and now
| 60 for "Young Hickory" and true
Democracy. But one of the anvils
got so used to wing Jubilee, in 1910
that now and then it goes off with a his
sing noise like cider fizzling out round
a bung that dosn't fit well. 1t flashed
so twice the other night-once for Clay
and once for Frelinghuysen.
