BY reference. to our columns, it will be seen
that the Wings Of Louisiana are invited to as
semble in Mass Convention, at Baton Rouge, on
Monday, the nh day Of October neat. 1t is be-
lieved, and we have no reason to doubt, that this
will be the largest gathering ever held in this
State, and we are convinced it must be, if or"
friends but do their duty. The Wings of the
whole country are aroused, and deeply feel the
necessity for concert of action. The proposed
Convention will furnish ample occasion to de.
monstrate that Louisiana is ready andwillingt to
do her part in the great struggle. OurConven-
ton follows Immediately after the Democratic
Convention called at the same place, and we
must at once determine that re shall at least
double their numbers, if not tribe them. We
have but to will it so, and it is done. Let us
catch the fire of our Tennessee friends, and &C
to our work, resolved to carry out every recon-
mendation of the Clay Club Convention.
We learn that the talented Prentiss will be OF
the spot, and that it is probable Kentucky's mex
best son, John J. Crittenden, will also be pre-
sent, besides hosts of others, whose talents viii
give character and distinction to the whole pro.
ceedings. The ladies, too, never surpassed in
patriotism and love of law and order, will grace
the Convention with their presence. Let US

to say, that the fire that burned down the modern
Depocracy Of 40, is again rekindled, and now
burns with redoubled yigor. The rubbish Of
TElerisr has been entirely consumed, and
pseudo democracy is now writing under its
intense heat. We verify believe, that this same
fire, before the END Of November next, will have
purified at least twenty States in the Union; and
had it a few more months to travel in, would al
most cleanse the entire country This is no
vain boast. just as sure as the lamented Har.
