The Democratic Bl0w-out at Bayou Goula.
We must acknowledge that our private affairs
were too pressing upon us, even if we had the pa
triotism, to permit us to realize the deleetable en-
joyment' of listening to the astounding facts and
chill-creeping eloquence which burst from the lips
of the distinguished speakers who graced the Dem
ocratic platform on this occasion. Messrs. Sigur
and Soule were there in their glory. The latter,
says our informant, spoke in both the French and
English languages. first in the former tongue; but
unfortunately for the distinguished orator, when he
became to utter in English the beautiful words he
can SO well jingle together for effect and applause,
he had entirely forgotten what he said in his first
speech, fer report says it was entirely different, or
inconsistent in fact. and sentiment previously ex-
pressed.
But the most outrageous feature of this Demo
cratic blowout on last Saturday, that we have
heard, (not in,imating that the expositions Of Mr..
SouIe were osardgeous) is the fact, as stated, that
the name Of Taylor and Fillmore sounded in
the air from stentorian voices whenever "C-a-s-s
and Butler came tremblingly out. Our infor-
mant's account appears SO %truthfully portrayed, that

from the sentiment Of the really vast concourse pre-

the benefit of the travelling public, whenever a sim

to the thrilling sloquence Of such men as soulee.

This much for the Bayou GouIa blow -ont. If
we have erred in our statement, it must be attribu-
ted to the fact that we were not present, to give
from personal observation, q more graphic descrip-
tion. The affair ended, we understand, without
any accident, save a tumble or two from a horse,
from The effects Of king Alcohol. And the only in
cident' connected with it, with which we are per-
sonaliy acquainted, is that we heard a mighty noise
on board the steamer when she got opposite this
place, returning with the sovereign locos, and lis
tening with open ear, vi must risk disbelief but
positively assert that amidst the din and confusion
and coumingling Of crys, we heard distinctly but
one solitary voice, as loud as the gushing steam, and
that was sIInrrah for Taylor and Fillmore r
