The secession principles of the South was

listen to nothing that had the most distant BEAR
ing against the perpetuity of the Onlon'-
Throughout, the speech of Col. Stewart was
vehemently applauded, creating occasionally
considerable laughter, when he would come
down upon his particular friends with some Oh
his truthful but terrible sallies.
Mr. NARc1ssE LEBLANC, after the conclusion
If the above. offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED. That we recognize in K. A. UPTON,
To- a nerson whose thorough devotion to the
Wing cause, and whose untlrlng efforts Tor the ao-
vancement of its interests and welfare, emlnently
entitle him to the gratitude aud respect othis party;
and we heartily recommend him to the other "a
rishes as a suitable candidate to represent this Dis
trict in the next Congress.
Mr.. UPTON then being called upon, he ad-
dressed the meeting briefly but brilliantly. He
thanked his friends for the honor they confer
red upon him, and assured them that hencefor-
ward, as previously, his entire political energies
would ever be exerted in the cause OF Wing
principles-for the interests and happiness OF
his country. Should he be a candidate in this
District for Congress through the choice OF the
Parishes, he pledged himself to leave nothing
unaone to ensure success. Another great po-
litical line was being drawn throughout the
South-Union and anti Union-and he laid
down his sentiments u~ndisguisedly and unmis-
takably. He was strongly in favor ofthe Com
promise measures-H was for the Union un-
der all and every circumstance! The speaker
was loudly cheered throughout, and concluded
with the sublime apostrophe of DANIEL WEE
srER to the Union, which was exceedingly ap-
propriate, and loudly cheered. He was vehe-
ment, truthful and bitter upon the course Of
Pierre Soulee,-and again thanking his friends
for the honor conferred upon him, he closed,
and the meeting adjourned, sine die, enthusiastic
callv and tremendously.

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DIsTR1cr.-f we are
to have a candidate to dispute the contest with
MI. PENN, land we have no doubt of it, we trust
that immediate measures will be taken to start
one in the field. Mr.. T.. B. THORPE has been spo-
ken of in East Baton Rouge, as a prominent gen.
tleman; and r. A. UrroN, Esq, as will be per-
ceived by the proceedings in another column, has
been recommended by this Parish, and he will
accept if nominated by the Convention. Will the
Baton Rouge Gazette, the West Feliciana Chronicle,
the Clinton East Feliciana) Wing, and any 9TH
er Wing papers in the District who may see this
paragraph, join with US in suggesting the first
Saturday in September, as an appropriate day for
holding the convention. We have no doubt that
all the other Parishes not present will concur in
the proceedings of whatever delegation may at
tend at that time.

ORANGE KEY, BAHAMA BANKS, J

August !, 1851.
The small steamboats,, from New Orleans,
with from 1000 to 1900 men on board, anchor
ed in Los Mimbros Roads last evening, and af-
ter stopping about two hours, passed this place,
steering E. S. E. 1t is we'll known here that
the Cnbans have purchased these steamers, and
that those on board formed the auxiliary force
expected by the Patriots from the United
States. 1t is impossible to conjecture the cause
of so.many small craft, with such able bodied
crews, assembling along the Rect and among
the innumerable islands, unless that which ex-
cites the public mind in regard to the political
movements now transpiring in Cuba.
The destination of the steamers and the fotil-
la in this Archipelago, is unquestionably the Bay
of Neuvitas, which is the entrance to Puerto
Principe, the river emptying into the Bay run.
ming into the interior OF the town of Principe.
The approach to the Bay Of Neuvitas by troops,
must.be made by sea from Havana, and not an
oyster boat can now move in these waters un-
known to the invaders. At Puerto Principe, OF
on the opposite side Of the island, and equi dis
tant, are the town and river of St. Cruz, which is
acceptable to small vessels of war, and, to a
certainty, at one of those two points will the
men from the Reef and frnm the steamers effect
a landing.
The white population of Cuba does not reach
100000, and the free colored and slave as many
The creole whites are 100000, and the colored
10000, equal to 10000, all Of whom are ca
pable of bearing arms and favorable, it is said
to the revolution. Opposed to this force are

GIVES IT rp.-The Montgomery .Adue'tiser and
Gazette Democratic acknowledges "the corn af-
ter this fashion. In its issue of the 18th the editor
says:
We have received sufficient returns to satisfy
us that the Congressional elections in this State
have resulted disastrously for Southern Rights.
But two Southern Rights men, Bragg and Harris,
have been elected, while the Fillmore federal con-
solicitations have elected five. This shows bad for
the cause of the South in Alabama. The stars
and stripes" is an infallible argument, and was used
in the late contest without stint.

The ~SEMlNARY.-The usual exercises in this in
s~titution will commence on the first Of next month.
We are happy to acknowledge that since this in
s~titution has been under the guidance of Mrs. VAN
NoorEN it has really given high proofs of its be-
ing in fact, a Seminary, where the young ladies of
our parish, and elsewhere, can be educated and ac-
complished in a manner equal to any other acade-
my in the country. The building and the grounds,
too, give some evidence oftaste and industry-and
no one can doubt that its standing is now in a more
healthy condition than it has ever been.

North ALABAMA.-The Secessionists of Ala
bama met with no encouragement in the great
northern counties of the State, where the, chief
strength Of the Democratic party was. The North
Albanian says that not a single individual who
openly avowed his belief in the abstract right of
secession, or was even suspected of entertaining
such heretical views has been elected either to
the State Legislature or 70 Congress in that section
of the State.

"Something whispers in my ear"

Since the Wing meeting Of last Saturday, there
seems to be quite a depression in the political
market, or at least in one side of it, and we will al
low the people themselves TOR it is easily perceiv-
e1 to Judge among ,ohom detection seems most evil
dent. We r~ecollect an old song about Sadness"
in vogue some sixteen years ago, asserting that
this feeling prevailed in every vocation or pur-
suit; but politics were forgotten in the song, and
this p0ss was omitted:
"Tbere,s Sadness in p~oltes-poignsnt sadness is there-
when ones done all that he could to no p~urpose.-sias:
Sullen, silent and detected, he looses his BRASS!
And feels most acutely "iike that hanimai the HAss!"
I'll our impression that a man must feel most
painfully detected, when he finds that all the ropes
he has laid for success, he himself has been en-
tangled in them, leaving him no hope of ever be-
ing released. Indeed, we must say, that we rather
approve Of the Baton Rouge Aduocats's sugges'
tons, in amount, that silence is the wisest basis Of
success; fol, if we are defeated-(and the tables
turn so quickly nowadays, that Wings nor De-
mocrats can't tell which is u%ppermost) our
Chickens don't! come home to roost'-and there
is no one to jibe us for our ~exertions and sanguine
protestations. h2 a-
Apart from this jocose style: we trust in sobel
earnest, that the evident lull in political natter
will continue from this out to the day of election
If we must talk or act with industry, let it b
done with freedom from passion, and with no re-
Election calculated to wound private feelings o.
throw into social circles that icy chillness which
dampens and destroys the best Of feelings, ant
causes society to be a curse instead of a blessing.

The Assassination at Newark. NJ r
THE INJURED wnmAv

WOMAN.
The Newark Advertiser says that every etfor.
was made on Wednesday morning to ascertain
the whereabouts Of the girl Marpsret Cor,;,,.
who killed Drum, her former lover, On Mond.v
night while walking with his newly. uarr;ed
wife, but withoutthe slightest success, and =
Is to be apprehended that she has executed hs,
threat of self-destruction. There is every.
where a strong popular feeling in her favor,
But 1t Is evident that, for the good order an1
peace Of society, individual wrong must bs
submitted to, unless redressed by law. A

sion Of the fatal act. She was a pretty BRIGHT
eyed, %sprightly girl, her face bearing the i'm.
press of amiability, rather than Of any dispose
ton to be a principal in a scene of death.
Margaret had been the bethrothed of the de-
deceased for two years past. During all this
time she had looked forward to her union with
one who had won her affections and who had
been reared up with her on the other side of
the Atlantic-the companion of her childhood.
She had permitted herself to become ten
ciente" by him, thus committing to his honor
those interests which the sequel may show she
regarded dearer than life. The wedding day
was fixed for last Sabbath-her clothing were
prepared-she had everywhere given notice Of
her intention to be married, and she knew that
if the union was not contaminated, the story
of her shame would soon be evident. And be-
it here again recorded, that to the honor of the
Irish people, that virtue is held in high estima-
ton by them, and comparatively few cases oc-
cur ofits loss. At this j%uncture she learned that
the affections of her bethrothed were given to
another, and came frantic with disappointment,
shame and the disgrace that stared her in the
face, she sought and met him last "Wednesday
and charged him with inidelity. He
confessed it. She called up her love for HIM
the protestations of affection which she had
rece;ved-slle told him of her condition. He
replied that he would never marry her.
Growing desperate, she urged her pleas the
more vehemently. She told him of the decIa-
of her parents and brothers-that they
would never see her face again unless his wife
the good character that he knew she had uni
formly borne-the disgrace that must now
come upon her. She now asked Il smaller
boon-she no longer asked for love, but only
he would marry her and relieve her from
disgrace, and Legitimate her offspring; she would
then consent to eternal separation. This he
answered by cruel mo,king. She now said
that she mouM die-the last forlorn refuge of
oppressed woman-that she would drown
herself; he said that he cared not how soon she
did It,. She now awoke to the full impression
that her former lover hated her, and how terri
bly, was her love scorned. From the moment
Of receiving that last answer, she determined
not to go to eternity alone.

Thousands are said to be focking to the STAN

it is stated that Judicial officers shall be created
by appointment; but now, Colonel Robertson
says that an Elective Judiciary is a Democratic
measure, when in fact it is directly antagonist
cal to the Constitution they formed! But this
was in union with most Of the principles OF
their platform, if they had any. The Colonel
was excited at the idea of the gentleman men.
toned, in claiming the Elective Judiciary as a
Democratic measure. He was enthusiastic in
declaring that he himself was the father of it in
Mississippi, and he had been a Wing since he
first breathed the air of Heaven. The leaders
said he, of the Democracy were very sly, first
to find out what the people liked, and then We.
hemently to adopt it as Democratic faith. This
principle was made more open and manifest by
their late views upon Banking: they are non.
committal upon that subject now, because the
people-since they have been destroyed in this
S~tate-arc beginning to see the necessity o.
Banks. The speaker reverted with emphasis
to the injury and injustice which the suspension
Of the Citizens Bank created. He used strong
and powerful argument for it's resuscitation
He exposed simply and plainly the wrong
which had been done to its stockholders. The
bill for its revival had passed the Legislature
1.-The Governor refuses to sign It; the State
had endorsed for the Bank to the amount o.
