Loulriana state Conventlon.


The Wings 81 Louisiana held Conven-
lien in the City Of New Orleans, on the 22d
ulI. and IL order % give our readers some
idea Of the enthusiasm which pervadsd on
the occasion, wsextract the following from
the New Orleans Tropic Extra, Of the Esd
ult.;
THE WING CONVENTION.
The Convention 81 the Whigs Of Louise
ana, which assembled in this city yesterday,
was the most stirring exhibition Of the pow-
or and majesty Of the people, ever witness
sed in the extreme Southwest. Il was
literally Mass Convention, net Of delegates,
hut Of the people themselves. We believe
every parish in the State was fully represents
ed, and certainlY the most sanguine Wing
had abundant cause fer sincere and heartfelt
graduation. We cannot this morning, at
tempt any description Of this magnificent
outpouring Of the sovereignty Of Louisiana,
but We may say that New Orleans. yestef-
day, presented q scene we'll calculated e
gladden. the heart of every patriot, and level
Of his country. The number of persons
present is vari0esly estimated at from six tt
ten thousand, and we think the real number
is somewhere between the two extremes.
The procession, which formed on Cana
street, was over mile in length and, aftsl
marchiBg through several of the Principa
streets, It proceeded to the Place D'Armes
where, at 10 o'clock, NJ, it was organized
by the election Of the venerable and time
honored patriot and soldier, Gen. PHILEMON
THOMAS, as President, aided by seventeen
Vice Presidents.
The opening speech was made by tht
Hon. SEAReENT S. PRENTIss, of Mississippi
and a.speech combining more fthe attributes
of genius, characterized by more elsquence
logic and humor, it has ever been eur gooC
fortune 10 listen TO. The distinguished ora
tor was more than himself, and he swayeC
the immense multitude by which he was sur
rounded with magic power. We canno
now attempt a sketch Of this great speech
il weuld be unjust TO the orator as wen a
as ourselves. We need only say it wa
verify Of s. s. PreHtiss, and that the i'm
press Of its beauty and power will never fad
from the minds Of those who were 90 for
tunate as to hear it.
On the same day the Convention was +
again assemble, and to be addressed by tn
venerable GEORGE PoINDExTER, and ethe
prominent Wings.

COMMERCIAL F.
From the N. o. Tropic. Feb. q.

FROM the Ne " 4IOPICs ESUs "a
COTTON.-In our review Of Wednesday NOR
ming last, we noticed that fair extent Of busi-
ness had been transacted in Cotton, during the
early part ofthe week, at rather high prices, ow-
ing to encouraging accounts from Europe, receive
ed by the tRoscius." The market opened on
Wednesday with only limited demand, which
continued until towards the close of the day,when
more active inquiry was evinced, and the sales
reached 1900 bales, a considerable portion Of
which was taken on the strength of a rumor
which prevailed, that later and very favorable adj
vices had been received from England, by express
from New York. The Northern mail Of Thurs
day confirmed these reports. as the packet ship
Europe had arrived at New York on the lth inst.
bringing advlees from England to the 10Th ult.-
The Liverpool Cotton market, after the arrival Of
the Steamer from Boston Of the LIST of January,
became quito excited, and the sales of the 18th
January amounted to 10000 bales at an advance
of I'd, on the prices current previous to the re-
cept of the steamers adYices.
Thursday being holiday, scarcely any busi-
ness was done, and the sales only comprised 500
bales. Yesterday the demand was extremely
limited, contrary to the expectation OF most par
ties, who anticipated brisk business in conse.
quence Of the favorable intelligence from Europe,
and the sales only amounted 70 1900 bales at for
mer prices. There was some disposition to sell,
and more Cotton Offering than We have noticed
for some time past. The transactions of the past
few days sum up 5000. and those OF the week
1880 bales,

and advancing prices This morning, the market
opened with a very active enquiry. Prices fully
I'D. per ID. was readily paid and in some instance
S-8d. per lb was asked at this advance. About
10000 bales have been sold, $4,000 of them to
spectators; the remainder to the trade, and at
this advance holders seem unwilling to bring out
their stocks. Consumers have been taken by sur
prise, and it yet remains to be seen in what light
they way view it. An advance Of 3-8d. per ID.
has been established the prices ruling last Fri
