III Stewards bin, abolishing slavery in the
District u Columbia, was rejected by the Sem
ate--yeas I, nays45.

aSoUsD SEsTIMEars.-The Hon. VIM. Duer,
OF New York, has written a letter to his con-
stituents,~ announcing his determination to with
draw from public life. He says in conclusion,
referring to the passage Of the compromise
Bills
The settlement that has been made bears the
marks Of q genuine settlement. II is not a tri-
umph. Of he North or a triumph Of the South;
a~triun1phh Of Wings over Democrats OF Of Benz
ocrats over Wings. 1t forced itself through by
its intrinsic strength, breaking down party lines
and sectional ties. No party can claim its mer-
it. Yet a. Wings we cannot but regard ii as
fortunate, TINT II happened under the auspices
of a Wing President and received the hearty
welcome of q Wing Administration. It has
disembarrassed the Executive branch Of the
Government, and enabled it to pursue its course
towards a successful prosecution Of public al.
fairs. If now this dead question Of slavery is
to be galvanized. whether for the annoyance of
the President or TO prevent the adoption Of ben
efcial measures Of public policy, l can only say
that the last men who should do this are Wings,
and the last Wigs who should do it are the
Wings, Of the State of New York.

THE PHYSICIAN. We notice in an exchange
some very sensible remarks in reference to the
subject Of gratuitous practice by physicians. It
is suggested that an appropriation OF a few hum
bred dollars be made by the Police Jury, to be
discussed annually to physicians in the parish
in proportion to their regular bills, in all char
liable cases. We feel disposed to approve the
plan, as but simple act Of justice to practition-
ers Of medicine, yet are almost frightened from
the position, when we reflect upon the enor-
nous taxes which the citizens of louisiana
now groan under. Ofcourse an additional and
special tax would have to be levied for this pur-
pose.
There is no question but that physicians
perform, and are under the necessity of per-
forming more charitable labor, than the men,
bers Of any other profession or trade.a The
lawyer can, without the fear of mourning GEN.
sure, refuse to defend the interests of q litigant,
when the prospects Of remuneration are doubt
full; the merchant can refuse to credit an appli-
cant when he deems him "bad pay and so on
through every branch of business, with the SIM
gle exception Of the practice of medicine. Let
. physician refuse to heed the calls of any.
however INDECENT, and however remote the pros
poets Of q fee, and he thereupon gets into bad
order in the community, all arc up in arms
against him, indignant at the idea Of his not at
tending to the wantso of starving Indebtedness,
because, forsooth, he win not receive a recon-
pense in abase lucre." The lot Of the doctor is
truly, IN many cases. 4 hard one. He must Of
tentinies pay f~erriage; pay for the medicine he
administers; for sundry little necessaries in ca
ses OF extreme poverty, and not recover one
dime therefor. Certainly it is a source of graft
feation to him to ameliorate the sufferings Of
his fellow man; yet is this any reason why he
should be called on to do SO more than any
other member Of societys-Caddo Gazette.

Senator Downs.

We cannot imagine any thing that could De
more grateful to the feelings of a public man,
than a hearty welcome by his fellow citizens
when he returns home from the scene of his
public duties. If this welcome proceeds from
his own immediate constituents, or from among
those of his ~neishbors who know him best, or
from the party even to which he belongs, it
must send a thrill Of delight into the bosom of
the representative. But, when this feeling or
this welcome takes a wider range-extends
throughout every locality of his State, and is
equally shared with his political friends and
opponents, and a manifestation is gotten up to
express clearly and distinctly tue depth of this
welcome, and admiration, it reaches, in our
mind, the cream and achma of political reward,
and should be in the breasts of public men, the
quintescence Of political ambition.
These remarks are occasioned by a recon-
mendation which we observed in the True DEL
Ia, coming from the Wings, recommending a
public demonstration in New Orleans, on the
arrival of Senator Downs, to exhibit in 4 proper
light the high estimation which the people of
that city entertain for him as 4 man. and as
Senator, irrespective of party, for the noble
manner in which he has stood by the Union
throughout the present boisterous session; for
his able efforts to quell the spirit of discord,
trample upon ultraism, and crush fanaticism.
The Bulletin, which stands foremost among the
strong wing papers of the State, Immediately
sanctioned tA11 display of feeling as recon-
mended in the True Delta, and since then the
Crescent has come out, warmly recommending
the design and We have no doubt that the
wishes of the people in this section of the
State are equally fervent in favor Of demon
~stration which carries upon its face SO much Of
true patriotism and f~raternal feeling:
Gen. Downs, of the Democratic party, and
Mr.. Conrad, of the Wing party, from the LOU
isiana delegation, were alone in their advocacy
of Union and conciliatory measures-and as
the latter gentleman gave up his representative
duties at u period previous to voting upon the
great questions that have lately passed, the no.
nor of saving Louisiana from the entire dis
grace Of being leagued with agitators and dis
unionis,s, rests alone upon the shoulders of the
former gentleman. He has m~anfully done his
duty. He has. proved himself to be a patriot,
a representative and a statesman-and Wings
know how to appreciate such men, even though
they be found in the ranks of their enemies.

THE GRINDING SEAsoN.-We believe that
a majority Of our planters will commence grind
ing about the middle of next month. From
what we learn with regard to several planta-
lions, which, it is said, will yield much larger
crops than last year, we may predict at least as
good a crop for this parish, if not a better one
than that Of last season. Rain is much want

sEMEAMSA,
PLAQUEMINE:
sATURDAY Y, SEPTEMBER 81,
The Storm has Passed.

Congress has agTeedto adjourn on the 30th
of this month. Although laboring through a
protractcd and violent session, all national diff
%ticulties have at last been adjusted, and the
ship of state is again upon her course, with a
free helm and studding-sails flying. May she
ever be saved in future from struggles that
threaten her destruction. From all parts of
the Union we perceive accounts of rejoicings.
from both parties, in consequence of the great
result embodied in the passage of the Califor-
MIA bill, the Utah bill, the Texas and New Mex
leo bill, and last though not least, the Fugitive
Slave bill. The ultras have bowed their heads
in tame submission to the will of the majority,
while many of them, hearing the national hal
lalujah that rings about their ears, cannot with
stand the promptings Of impulsive patriotism,
but forgetting the sting of defeat, join in the
shout of that civil victory which gives us re-
newed strength and confidence, and a spirit of
yisor and fearlessness that will have a lasting
and benign influence upon our future progress
and prosperity. There is little doubt that the
lalc tIstto III Jul tiO WV
voice OF Dismemberment among our represent
tatives-causing the monarchists Of the old
world to burnish up their heraldry, and raising
a ray of hope in their minds, while were made
to bleed the hearts of patriots in our own land,
far from being an injury to our national char
acter, or injurious to our strength, have had a
beneficial effect that will be felt the stronger as
time advances, and our greatness and power
become more CO nsolidated and realized.
Thus, as the political feature of our country
now appears, Mt this day, we may congratulate
ourselves that the clouds arose and the tempest
swept over the land. Those who were unskil-
led in the management Of our State barque
have learnt 4 lesson in the handling Of the
ropes that will make them useful and cautious
hereafter, while the old cruisers, the pilots that
only bring out their strength in turbulent
weather, may well repose upon the laurels
which their sagacity and vigilance have won.
While We would be very far from detracting
from the merits of those of our Democratic
bretfren-al praise to t,em-who lent willing
and sturdy hearts to quiet the storm and bring
peace to our proud and happy country, we, at
the same time, rejoice with heartfelt ~satisfac-
ton that it was under a Wing Administration
that this great moral victory was achieved. We
rejoice that Webster and Clay, the great Wing
spirits Of the nation, were in the front ranks of
confuering minds and we rejoice that a Wing
Presidents name was signed with alssrity to
those momentous bills which have shed over
the land 50 much Of JOY and hope. There is
nothing now to contend for, but the best means
of applying our eShaustless treasury to further
the progress Of our Government in all matters
that tend to the advancement Of morality, of
education, Of wealth, grandeur and power.
