She pinches our feet with tight shoes,

She invadcs our pleasure, and interrupts

She compels the people TO dress gaily,

She ruins the heal and produces sick

your Delegates to go to Baton Rouge without
a Banner? Then, iffot, be 50 kind as 70 go to

THE RIGHT sPIRIT.

The meeting at Grand Coteau last Saturday,
was Of the right sort. The spirit Of 40 was
rekindled, and the Wings of this point determin-
ed to give their entire energies to the cause.
from hence till the election. An auxiliary Clay
Club was f5Fplel, d which forty subscribers
were obtained. The gathering, though but lit
tie notice had been given, was large, and every
Wing Of The Parish could well take lessons from
our neighbors.
In conncxion with this meeting, it win be
seen that our C6teau friends have determined
to give the opening Barbecue for the campaign.
From the hasty preparations gotten up On Sa-
%turday, we are well convinced that this Barbe4
cue will be hard e beat. Many prominent and
tried Wings will be invited, who will, no doubt,
render the meeting one of the most cheering
and instructive in the whole campaign. We
have heard that the Ladies will honor the Bar.
becue with their presence. This is right. We
lore the ladies-(we are married, so we here
take the privilege, ladies)-and we ike to see
them present onsa all good occasions. Now, gen
.temen, if you don't beat every thing at this
Barbecue, ~why--the ladies have the privilege
to beat you! Soaas you are sure you're right,
eeoo ahe4d.''

ence and its objea3 and tendency are TO give

people as d mass, and in detail, employment Of
their oas,, resources Of their oun, strength at
their olfR, and happiness ct their oun which
caniaotb be injurionsly affected in war or peace,
through stratagen or design, by any other peo-
pie. Such are its cardinal characteristics
Ofthis Free Trade doctrine of pseudo Demo-
craclgs in a speech which he made in the SAM
year, Mr.. Dallas said.
at. is true, astie Senator from South Carolina
has said, thatthe political economy Of free trade,
however captivating in theory, is, indeed, a dis
cosery of modern times. 1t has no existence but
in books. It never has been tested, and it new
ser can be tested, without the Utopian resort to
a Congress Of ilations-a resort recommended
by some pamphaleteer, whose treatise, laid upon
our table within q few weeks past, seems to
come maid Of tlds new discovery Of modern
times. Z
Enough saidl We think Mr.. Dallas was
about right in 1882; and had he the same sound
principles now that he advocated then, We should
not hesitate 70 vote for him for Vice, President
But he has sadly changed In 1882 he went
