VERY STRANGE FAcr.-We were yesterday astonshed at

well know the Place dAnes is bounded by the Calaboose
buildings the river St Ann and ST. Peter There
is no portion of the city densey populated than the
borders of ST. Ann and ST. Peter In many of the
houses three families reside and in the space des
mated there must be from five TO seven hundred residents
This vicinity, although almost in the heart of city, du-
ring all seasons seems to be the heathest location During
the last twenty five years but death has taken place in
OF the houses along the sides of the bounding the
square, 1t is passing strange that such should be the case
and yet we know to be fact for are so informed by
one OF our oldest citizens who fer twenty-five wears
has resided in the immediate location of which we speak
and also by OF the chief magistrates of the city Many

A National Convention.


The democracy of the several counties OF this State,
and of the other States north SOUTH east and west speak
out through the press and at public meetings, with
great unanmity in favor of national convention for
nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pres
idency This augurs well for the union, integrity and
future of the party, and for the continued ascend
ency OF democratic in the national adminstra-
ton.
From quarter do we find opposition to this necessa
organization of the party, except from very few this
State who are anxious to lead off in favor Of General
Taylor Some OF these appear to be tired OF democratic
organZaton-not, we presume, because of their long
service in the party, of their love for its
We are pleased to know, however that the democrats

Taylor for the presidency and desire to support him

fairly before the country, and with him vice presden
al candidate of the right stamp The experience of late
years teaches the Importance OF proper selection for the
Vice Presidency well the Presidency and democrats
who have proper regard for the principles of the party
will not overlook it. Vice President Tyler, saved the
country from monster bank-Vice President Dallas
gave TO the country the just and equitable tariff of 4
substitute for the partial and unjust tariff Of 42and
the Vice President to be elected in 1sis may do much
promote the interests of the people, and preserve the
tendency OF democratic measures, ii he be right in his
character as man, and right in his views of national
policy
To abandon convention, would, in all probability in
majority OF cases. take the election from the people, and
corruption would be the order of the day. and the great
measures OF public policy essential to national pros
Perity would be sacrificed TO the personal ambition OF
leading politicians.
