@HI~GHFuRLur1N'" SPEAKING.-We understand
that quite an oratorical display was exhibited at
Bayou Goula on last Saturday night, or Sunday
morning, on occasion of the BaH-not on account
of the well known beauty and grace Of the fair
ones who give honor and celebrityto Bayou Gou'
la; but, on the contrary, through the Overlooking
Of patriotism or over-heating Of steam. "Do,rn be-
lopp,D the chair was mounted by an eloquent de-
fender of his o,cn and his country's rights but
he was not suffered to Ego It alone" for an oppo-
nent mounted another, and commenced a decided
antagonistical harangue. But before the latter had
got through two consecutive sentences upon the
same subject, another chair was quickly assembled
by one who seemed to think that the smaller fry
should succumb-but before he had raised his
voice to its highest pitch, he succumbed himself, for
| his platform tilted backwards, and down he came,
whites and all, into about three inches of a
mixture of mud, Mississippi water and Monon-
gahela Whiskey; but determined not to submit to
the power of events, up did the gentleman mount
again-when our informant left, amidst a general
hubbub of bar-room eloquence and huzzahs, min
gled with the howlings of ours, the Growing of
cocks, the kissing of steam, and the broken and
discordant notes of "musics last despalrlng
strains"

Isl fine opportunity for those who are in waas of

they are sold cheap; besides, in making their

CUBA.-The account in another column respect
Ing a revolution in Cuba, will be read with deep
interest. The blow, so long anticipated, has at
last been strickland struck as it should be, by
her own native-born citizens. We trust, as all
lovers of liberty should, that they may be success
full. Their appeals for aid, win mo~ not be in
vain and before this paragraph is read, WEI doubt
not that many of our high-spirited and chivalrous
young men are on their way to swell the cry Of
uictory and freedom! To the sugar planters OF
this State, the revolution, if not of very short du-
ration, must benefit them in a pecuniary manner
for all agricultural business must in a great mea-
sure be retarded. Another eventful political era
seems about to make its advent upon this conti-
nent.

ELEcr1oNEERINe.-The Hon. A. G. PENN was
amongst US during the past week; but gave no
public exhibition of his power as an orator, or of
his principles. GEORGE w. WATERsToN will be
here soon, when the people will hear a man who
can give proof in the true old republican style,
that his intellectual faculties are of an orderto cope
with the proudest upon the floor of Congress,
and that his heart, his whole heart, is for the
Union and for nothing else whenever this great
question is matter of debate. Due notice will
be given of his visit to this Parish, for WI want
every person in Iberville to see the man who is
to redeem the Third Congressional DISTINCTION,
from the very moment that we learnt something
ofthe Union sentiments of Mr.. PENN, from that
moment we predict his defeat as inevitable!
Don't talk of State rights, Secession, Disunion,
Revolution and Blood, in this Parish! A mere
breath divides the first of these principles from
the last! .

No TIME FOR IDLENEss.-The following true
and appropriate remarks we copy from the Bee:
Upon our next Legislature will devolve many
important duties. The great question OF a Con-
vention to revise the present ricketty Constitution
-lecrepid even in its infancy-wil engage much
of its attention; while we may not unreasonabiy
presume that the Bank will arouse discussion, and
occupy some portion of the time Of the General
Assembly. The election Of Senator Of the Uni
ted States to succeed Gen. Downs, will, in the
opinion Of many, be a subject of more importance
than both the others. At all events, there Is
quite enough at stake to account for the extraor-
binary activity of the l~ocofocos. Let the wings
see to it, that they be not out-generalled. They
have a wiley foe to deal with-one that requires
constant vigilance. We must meet the opposition
in season. We were in hopes Of a brief and COM
paratively quiet campaign, but the democrats ap-
pear disposedto compel us to take the field at once.
So be it then, and victory will enure to the par
tywhich does its duty most m%anfully in the con-
test.n a4zy
We trust that the Wing candidates and their
influential friends will take warning from the
above. The opposition, it seems, are exerting
themselves tremendously in every other part
of the State, as well as in this Parish. We are
sure that it does not require the language of pro-
phecy to say that aIberville will do her duty
aud carry through triumphantly her whole Wing

No SENATORIAL NOMINATION BY THE DEMO-
cIArs.-We believe that the day selected for the
delegates, passed off without any meeting; and
it is now tacitly admitted that no nomination, as

It'll noso acknowledged BY those who call them
selves the leaders Of that party, or would presume

amiable conclusion, considering that whatever
their preferences, they srst taks Aiss--therefore it
isvery wise indeed to insist that he is their choice

utter fallacy Of opposing him. Yes, he is, too, in
truth q good Democrat in its literal sense, and
saeh Democrat as the Wings ofthis, District de-

be placed upon the Democratic ticket Ia they are
forced to ssoaaoso him) and through this description

Third Congressional District Con-
vention.

BATON ROUGE, July 21st, 1851.
At 70 o'clock NJ. the Delegates present of the
Third Congressional District, assembled in the
City Hall.
On motion of J. NJ. ELAN, Esq, of East Baton
Rouge, Col. S. M. D. CLARK, of West Baton
Rouge, was called to the Chair; and there being
no objection to the nominations, R. A. UrroN, T.
B. THORPE, H. A. SK1pwlrH, and WI Brad
BURN, acted as Secretaries.
R, A. UrroN, Esq, then read, by request, the
list of the Parishes of the Third Congressional
District, when Delegates answered only from the
Parishes of East and West Baton Rouge, East
Feliciana and Iberville.
Mr.. ELAN moved that the Parishes from which
there were no delegates be represented by proxy !;
but which being objected to by Mr.. SkIpw1rH,
of East Feliciana, the motion was withdrawn.
R. A. UproN, Esq, of Iberville, then proposed
the name of G. W. WArERsroS, as the Wing Can
didate for the Third Congressional District, which
was carried by reclamation.
1t was then moved that a committee Of three
be appointed to inform Mr.. WArERsroN of his
nomination; whereupon the Chair appointed R.
A. UpToN, I'll THORPE and H. A. SkIpw1rH, as
said committee.
Mr.. THORPE, of East Baton Rouge, then rose
and offered the following resolutions, which were
adopted by reclamation:
Resolred, That the National Administration, I'M
der the guidance of our Wing President, Millard
Fillmore, has the unbounded confidence of the
Wings of Louisiana that in our domestic policy,
its manly protection Of home industry, the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors, the reduction of
postage, and the strict accountability and economy
of public officers, and its energetic, republican,
truthful, and dignifed management of our foreign
affairs, have secured for it the gratitude OF this
and the respect of other nations.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the Wings
ofthis Convention that it is the desire of the Wings
of Louisiana that Willard Fillmore should be the
candidate of the Wing party for President of the
United States, at the election of A. D. 1852, and
that we cordially recommend him to the Wings
of the Union as the candidate for that office.
A motion was then carried that the papers of the
Third Congressional District be requested to pub
fish the above proceedings, when
On motion of Col. R. A. STEWART, the eonven-
ton adjourned sine die.

REMEMBER IT, PEOPLE OF InKRvILLE!-We
understand from UNREASONABLE authority, that
the Hon. A. G. Penn, remarked in Plaquemine,
a few days since, that under certain contingencies,
he twas for Secession Now, these contingent
cies were, what are not likely to occur-repeal of
the Fugitive Slave Law, &c. But, ~recollect this,
citizens, when apublic mar goes SO far, in these
dangerous times, to say, for certain reasons, he
for one would raise the cry Of revolution and
blood to oppose the laws Of Congress, then, # IS
time for you, as patriots and Union men, to u.
quire-is it safe to send such a man to Congressf
What would you think of a public mar who
would come here in your midst, and say, that for
eetais ssasons, he would oppose the right Of aa-
'peya And yet, these are parallel sentiments.

PIERRE SouLE IN TENNEssEE.-The Republican
Banner, published in Nashville, Tennessee, in ma
king some remarks upon a speech of HopkIss L.
TuRNEY, candidate for the Legislature, does honor
to our Senator in the following sentence:
aMr. Turney is ~uiolently opposed to the compro,-
mise measures-voted against them along with
the abolitionists and disunionists-and scattered
broadcast the speeches Of Soule, and other disu-
~nionists, throughout Tennessee, whilst remaining
at Washingtonw
This paragraph must be Jfattering to the feelings
of Louisianians, considering the detestation which
they, as a mass, hold the disuaion sentiments of
SouLE and his confede-ates in the adjoining South
ern States.
Such notices as the above, we fervently trust,
will stimulate every Wing in the State to extra
ordinary e~xertions during the present canvass,
that in the next Legislature We may hold the
power largely in our own hands, and thus prevent
the election of a U. s. Senator, who, from be-
ing professedly a Democrat, may adhere to the Sc
ditious and destructive principles of the alien lin
heart at least) whose. name heads this article.
