From the Parish OF Plauueminss.
Ccnsspondenos Of the Cssrssut.
P0fNrR.A-LA-HAcH., Got. 81, 1851.
The Empire Parish, Mr.. Crescent, is fairly under
way in the business Of sugar making, and, from
present indications. will yield a very handsome
crop have just seen some Of the finest specimens
Of sugar, made on Myrlle Grove PLANTATION. that
are 10 Be found any where. BY the middle Of next
week, imagine, the larger portion of the planters
will be actively engaged.
The all absorbing topic at present, however, il
the political aspect Of affairs. From the numerous
candidates in the field, it is conjectured that Pla
quemines WILL at the approaching election, give an
unusually heavy vote. There arc, for instance,
six candidates for the Office Of Coroner, and the
friends Of each are very jealous and active in
drumming up recruits. You are aware, probably.
that after the great political campaign Of 1874, this
part of the State was visited by an awful mortality,
during the prevalence of which some five hundred
voters were mysteriously cut off, But time has, in
a measure, repaired the effects of this sad havoc,
as, we trust, the result of the next election will
show. The candidates for the House, Messrs
Moise and Ronqulle it is believed, will be elected
by a handsome majority, there being no organized
opposition, that we have heard Of, to either.
The chief interest," however, attaches to the Con.
gressiona election, and guesses and reckonings are
freely made as to what prop oron of votes will be
received by the respective candidates Mr.. St.
Martin has, as we learn, traversed the larger Dor.
ton of the Parish; but where is Mr.. Hagan at
this times His friends are active and sanguine,
but does he to leave the business of election
eering entirely to them! Voters are some times
very coy, and require as much aattery and coaxinR
as the most tickle fair one. know nothing Of this
from experience, being neither politician nor a
lover, but so have been told by those who are
both.
An election is glorious thing, friend Crescent,
and does certainly have the effect of elevating a
man, provided he has a vote, far above the dull
routine of ordinary existence. The very lowliest
of ms are exalted biennialy, at least into beings Of
importance. Never upon any other occasion do we
meet with such affectionate greetings. Oh, happy
state of things if it could last But fear politics
are like wine, and may leave an awful state Of
lassitude and exhaustion, when the temporary ex.
citement has gone by. 1t is not wise, however, TO
anticipate evils which can not be prevented. So
here's long life, and health, and happiness, and
plenty of votes to them all. Yours, CIyIs,
