THE .CoM1NG MAN" FOR CANADA.-The fol-
lowing appears inthe French republican journal,
LIE Moniteur. 1t is a description ofthc coming
man-that individual to whom is to be entrusted
the reorganization of Canada: ....
Prophecu.-Canada will become free, and will
be annexed to the United States in five years.
Upper Canada will form one State, Lower
Canada a second, and New Brunswick a third
independence of the country will be obtained
by means of petitions addressed to the parent
country, signed by men of all parties, and
among others by 10000 French Canadians
Lord Elgin will never go back to England. The
first Governor of the State of Lower Canada
will be a man of middle age, who just now is
living very retired, equally unknown to all
parties. He is a Canadian in heart and feeling
His mother is a Canadian, but his father is of
English origin, although born in Canada. 1t
is this double character, meeting in him, which
will cause him to be advanced to the Presi-
dency by the almost unanimous voice Of the
people. Louis Joseph Papineau will not be one
of the first to declare himself in favor of the
annexation, although he longs for it with all
his heart. His name will be glorious in the
future, (dans p~auenir.) All the Canadians will
unite to send him as their representative to the
Senate in Congress. Believe this, or believe it
not, as it suits you; it will turn out the same in
the end.

HAn hands !"

The Democratic organ grinders Of New Or
leans are beginning to sound the alarm in ear
nest. They are down like a thunderstorm with
their weapons of personal ribaldry and malice
upon the Wing Congressional candidate for
this District. The Gubernatorial candidates
are thrown entirely in the shade, while all hands
are piped away by the boatswain and his mate,
(the Courier and Campaign Standard,) to save
the Democratic barque from bilging in this dis
trict. They see by every breeze from this quar-
ter that Harmanson is plunging and foaming at
a rate that must prove his utter destruction be-
fore November, and they, the pipe-layers and
whistle-blowers of the city are sounding the
alarm in earnest.
The more terrible the denunciations that en-
anate from the coarse and equity columns Of
the Courier upon the head of Col. Stewart
the more powerful the point and pathos of ex-
carnations and ~interrogations of the Campaign
Standard (whose next change will be the shades
of oblivion,) the greater reason have the wings
to rejoice. for it is sufficient evidence that the
enemy is aware of his danger, and of the dis
astcr which its ranks will inevitably sustain in
this District.

The Third District.

The nomination of Col. Richard A. Stewart,
says the Bee, is gall and NORWOOD to the op-
posite party. Col. Stewart is not only a man
of decided abilities, but one of the most active,
persevering and indomitable political stump
speakers we have ever known. He has gone
into the canvass with a determination to leave
no honorable means untried to secure a victory.
He is trayersing the district in all directions, ad-
dressing the people on every convenient occa-
sion, meeting his antagonist, and face to face,
outarguing and outtalking him. He gives Mr..
Harmanson an immense degree of trouble, and
has alarmed that gentleman very seriously
We learn from several we'll informed persons
in the district that Col. Stewart will poll a very
heavy vote. One of them writes to us in this
strain: "Do not look for 4 victory in this pow
erful democratic district. 1t is almost too much
to hope for; but of this be assured, that if the
thing be feasible, it will be accomplished. Stew
art worsts Harmanson in every encounter
For the first time the latter has found an adver-
sary whom he can neither outwit, nor silence.
The fighting Parson keeps as cool as a cucum-
Der, while Harmanson fumes, frets and gets an
gry-a sure sign that he is being used up
We shall give an excellent account of ourselves
in November; and if we do not give the loco
foco candidate leave to stay at home, we shall
at all events shake his supremacy in the Dis
trict. Declouet and Kenner will receive every
wing vote in this diggins. Set that down as
certain"

A BAL RULE THAT WON'T WORK BOTH WAYS.

A BAD RULE THAT WON'T WoRK BOTH WAYS.
The Democratic papers are very boisterous
about Gen. Declouet having once been opposed
to an Elective Judiciary, and SO forth; but,
since that period times have changed, and be-
cause the mind of Gen. D., in keeping with the
progress of the age, now advocates what he
once thought injudicious, he is called a chang
ling, a man politically dishonest, and unfit for
the suffrages of his fellow-citizens. This silly
charge has been frequently thrown into the
teeth Of the free voters of this Parish. Now,
if there is a voter in Iberville and West Baton
Rouge who thinks the above sufficient ground
to prevent him from voting for Gen. Declouet,
we would ask him how he could reconcile it
to his conscience to vote for Col. P. O. Hebert
for the Senate, who, when State Eengineer,
gave 9 very elaborate report, upon scientific
principles, in favor Of re-opening Bayou Man.
chac. But now he is opposed to it. Why is he
opposed to it? Is it because those scientific
principles" have changed as time has advanced,
orr is it a clap-trap to catch votes on the other
side of the river! If the first gentleman must
be condemned for a mere change of opinion,
how much more severely does the latter merit
condemnation, who says that his past report to
the Legislature upon philosophical grounds,
scientific research and erudition, was all a hum
bug? We opine that the people about here are
rather too smart to be hu~m,buggedin this man.

The ABDUCTION CAsE.-The trial of the
Spanish Consul and his accomplices in the abb
dnction of Juan Francisco Garcia or Rev ter
minated, yesterday, in the prompt and unhesi-
tating committal of the accused. Carlos de
Espana, Consul of Spain, was sent before the
United States District Court; and the others,
Llorente, Marie, Eagle, and Captain Mcconnell,
were committed for trial by the First District
Court of New Orleans. This is the Judgment
Of a Court eminently entitled to the respect and
confidence of the public; a Court composed of
amaggistrate who has discharged the duties of
justice Of the Peace for twenty years, in this
community, to the satisfaction Of the people:
and of a distinguished member of the Bar, who
has filled, for a long time, the office of Com
missioner Of the United Sates-so says the
Delta.

Negro Stealing i'm Texas.

The following extract of a letter which we
received by the last mail, dated La Grange, July
20, gives rather a doleful picture of affairs on
the Colorado:

five weeks, from your State, in Caddo, DE 80

and in bringing him home safe. What caused
me to 90 in pursuit of him, was the fact that a
man was caught in the act Of stealing negroes,
when he made a full confession, duplicating
many of our most respectable citizens. We
are in a state of great excitement, and what is
to be the end of it God only knows; but tell
you there will be serious work here, for we are
determined to rid the country of all such clans
and we have made a very good start ne have
hung seren or eight already, and expect to hang
a great many more. "Lynch Law" is our mot
to, for it is useless to trouble the law with them,
for nothing could be proved. 1t is another

of our citizens stole and sold him, and has since

Life

1t will be seen by an advertisement in ano-
Their part of our paper, that an institution of the
above description has been established in New
Orleans. A Life Insurance Company has long
ben wanted here; for any one who has any
idea of its nature-which is truly a moral and
a charitable one-must be highly pleased that
such a Company has at length been established
in our vicinity. 1t particularly recommends it
self to the poor, the hard working mechanic,
or to those of ordinary means. 1t is certainly
the aim, and the ambition we may say of every
man Of family, however humble his position, to
leave sufficient means to those dependent on
him, to prevent them, with care, from future
want. This is his principal motive for industry,
diligence and energy through life? But not
withstanding a mans Jealous and untiring eff
forts, his economy, and the correctness of his
habits, how often have we seen it the case, that
by the various fluctuations of the world, he
finds himself on his death bed, bereft of all pc
cuniary means, and those who are dear to him
left to struggle (they know not how y for the
necessaries of life. With such q knowledge,
how painful must be the last moments of the
honest and warm-hssrted husband? To pre-
vent an end so deplorable, the Life Insurance
Company comes in as the true and undertaking
friend. By paying a comparatively small sum
yearly, which few would miss, we are saved
in q measure from the cares and forebodings
that beset us; for we have a surety, that how
ever we may be treated by fortune while living,
ae shall zeare enough behind us chen we die for
those to enjoy whom we lore dearer than life.
To the planter, this Company likewise par
ticularly recommends itself, for he is enabled,
through its instrumentality, to suffer nothing
by the loss of his slaves. We have a Circular
of the Company in our possession, giving all
the details of Life Insurance, which is at the
of any one who will call at our office.

The President.

A mournful spectacle of political depravity
will be observed by any one who will review
the course of the opposition press since the 4th
of last March. Every act Of President Taylor
has been construed into the blacklist perfidy-
as proving himself ~recreant to former dcclara-
tons, and sweepingth the scythe of persecution re-
lentlessly throughout the land. Abuse, SANDER
and vituperation, having been commenced at
the seat of Government by that political dotard
whose life is ebbing out with v%irulence against
the party he commenced it with, every congo
MI. spirit throughout the country, who sways
an editorial pen, is re-spreading his lwhires and
imbecile inyectives.
The great secret of the extreme violence
of the Democratic prints against the President
IS the fact that he has caused some of them to
be removed from Office: we say some of them,
for the Republic tells us that there are yet ten
democrats to one wing in Office. And what
is seen as the effect Of many of these remo-
walls! Why, that large amounts of public mo-
ney have been embezzled by those democrats
who have held office SO long they now set up
a claim to them us a personal right, and the
money they handle their own personal proper
ty. If this is the way the President is injuring
the people, it is to be hoped he will continue
the good work, and sweep from office every
vestige of locofoco power. But we are happy
to perceive that the Chief Magistrates nerves
are not yet shattered-"he has been tested in
fire and come out steel"-and it is not likely
that any thing his enemies can say will deter
him from doing what his Judgment dictates.
The country wants purging of the crime and
corruption which a quarter of a century has en-
tailed upon it, throughout the various ramifica-
tons of its management, and every good and
honest man must rejoice, whatever his political
partialities, that there is at last at the head of
Government, a man who knows of no other
principle to guide him in his appointments of
honor and trust but that of Honesty, Capacity
and Fidelity"

For fear our readers will ~criticise rather Sc

our paper, we will make a few remarks respect
ing it. The design we now present was not ex-
ecuted as we anticipated; and after having it
cast in metal, we ordered it to be re-engraved-
but we are not yet in receipt of it. In our po-
litical course, and in the advocacy Of men for

rying from the motto of "Honesty, Capacity
and Fidelity" as uttered by the illustrious Tay-
lor, which the eagle proudly and fearlcssly
holds in his beak. The gun carriage, on which
is mounted that powerful instrument of civil
zation-the pen-indicates not only the man.
ner which ue wish the world to be governed,
but it portrays the principles likewise of the
victorious chieftain whose sword is now re-
turned to its scabbard, and the poaccr he now
yields for the good of his country, under the
all-secing eye Of Heaven. The figure on the
right was intended for the hero Of Buena Wis.,
to himself; but the engrayer insisted that he
wished to represent him as he appeared on the
night of the storming of Fort Harrison, with
his cap turaed up, pecring through the darkness
at the savages, greedy for his destruction. And
the sentinel on the left represents.'one, of the
millions of this free land, who are ready at the

THE WEEKLY CREscENT.-On our fourth
page will be found a prospectus of the "Week-
ly Crescent"-a sheet of mammoth dimensions,
and issued in a style Of beauty unsurpassed by
any other weekly Of this country. 1t is pecu-
liarly valuable to those who wish to preserve
an unprejudiced history of the times. Its CO.
lumns are free from antipatbies, free from local
influences, and free from the faint of political
feeling, and shun that tide of popular excite
ment which so often leads journals, as well as
men, from the path of reason and truth. In
saying this we are not saying too much, which
any one will discover by perusing it daily as
we have done. We would be glad to see it
circulated literally in our community. 1t would
be a welcome visitor when once received. Call
at our Office and examine it.

Western Military Institute.
GEORGETOWN, KY.

We would recommend particularly to pa
rents and guardians the advertisement in ano-
Their column headed as above. An institution
of the above description is, of all others, in our
estimation, best suited to the principles of this
Government, and to the habits, disposition and
interests of the rising generation. Besides be-
ing versed in all the arts and accomplishments
of a soldier, a student at this Institute can like
wise graduate in all the branches of literature
and science taught in other institutions. The
late war with Mexico has proved the importance
of a military education to the youth of our
country: it has demonstrated that such a course,
in connection with other branches, is equally
calculated to lead to honor and distinction, as
any other pursuit Of the scholar. Girl Engi-
neering is likewise a branch particularly atten-
ded to in the above Institute, the importance of
which to a young man just setting out in life,
at the present era of progress and discovery in
this country, is too paramount for argument.
We have a Certificate Of Scholarship in the
above Institute, which entities the possessor to
four years tuition in all the branches taught,
which we would dispose of on very moderate
terms. Copies of the Catalogue, containing re-
gulations, course of studies, &c, may be had
by applying at this office.
The FEMALE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE, like
wise established in Georgetown, KY, offers
high inducements to parents and guardians; to
the brother and sister, whose education it is
contemplated to finish abroad, what could be
happier than both to be reared up in the above
institutions, where The former could ever be
near the tender flower nature intended him to
protect as it ripened into the bloom Of woman
hood and beauty.
