whigs, be Active

We trust that the Wings of this Parish, at
the ensuing election, will show the material Of
| which they are composed. We must allow no.
| thing to deter or seduce US from union and en-.
ergetic cooperation for the success of the en-
tire ticket. We call upon all to protest against
any erasures, or any compromises with our op'
ponents. The Swapping game cannot in any
manner be to our ad~vantage--but on the con-
trary it tends to our destruction. The Demo.
cratic candidates, who are now circulating ex.
tensiyely throughout the parish, will exert ev.
cry nerve and practice every scheme to ensure
their success. In the name of the party, then,
| we call upon the talented and influential Wings
of this town, Bayou Goula, the Island, Rich
ards Store, on the other side of the Bayou,
at Indian Village, on Grand River and Crosse
Tete, to allow no business or circumstance to
deter them from turning out when the Demo-
cratic candidates arrive among them, and place
the Wing party and its platform--of an Elec-
tive Judiciary, Free Banking, &c. &c.-in its
true and proper light. A Constitution is to be
altered which a Democratic majority, in its wis
dom, concocted for the people. Is it polite,
right, just, that another majority of the DEM
ocrats should rule in the ensusing Convention,
as it ruled in the Convention of 1916? Do
the people wish a second edition of the Con-
s~titution which is a disgrace to the State, and
should be death of the party which framed it?
This is the true light in which the present
contest should be viewed. The Locofoco can
didates are setting many traps and schemes
one is in drilling their best takers in making
popular interrogations, and vociferating against
renewed taxation, embarrassing the State in
its pecuniary affairs, ct c~etera, ct cetera thus
endeavoring to press upon the minds of the
unwary, that the gigantic evils they are crying
against with such alcoholic lungs, were, in fact,
what the Wings are aiming to accomplish but
these are weak inventions, and the mind must
be very weak which is entrapped with them.
On the other side of the river a desperate
game will be attempted. We call upon our
able leaders on that side to roll up their sleeves
and 60 to work when the bright stars of De.
mocracy, its nominees, make their appearance
them indeed, we know that the soft
and plant speech of these kid-gloved
and democratic gentlemen, will be met by that
but eloquent and unpretending common
sense, which is powerful ~leveller to Locofoco
Domnosity and nrida

Medical Beneuolence.-We observe that thu
New York Academy of Medicine, at a recen'
meeting, took action upon a subject Of Interest
to the community generally. It was resolved
that no member Of the Academy "shalI BIZ
countenanced in making exclusive pretensions
to beneyolence, by public advertisements, OF
private cards, circulars or any other device, pub
licly offering advice, medicine or operations to
the poor gratis, either in his individual capacity
Or in virtue of any Office or position he may
hold, in any clinique, school, college or public
institution" This resolution, adopted by a
body SO able and respectable, necessarily i'm.
plies that the rendering of medical and surgi-
cal services to the poor and destitute is a duty
Of universal and perpetual obligation upon ev.
cry member of the profession. Exclusive pre-.
tensions Of the kind set forth in this resolu.
ton must be quite common or they would not
have required the notice of the Academy. We
are glad to see that it is not disposed to allow
to any one a monopoly of medical benevolence.
The amount of gratuitous services given to the
poor and destitute by the profession must be,
in the aggregate, immense, and it is all the
more commendable that it is done in a private
and quiet manner. The consciousness of ha.
wing relieved the bodily infirmities of suffering
humanity and of adding to the sum of human
happiness to those positively unable to pay,
should merit the universal appreciation of every
community where such acts are performed.

Washington National Monument-Progress
Of our Sugggestion.-In another column will be
found an appeal from the Washington Monu'
ment Association to the people of the United
States, to enlist their active sympathies, that
funds be collected to complete without delay
the great structure which is now under pro-
gress at Washington. The friends of the Sen
tinez will perceive with pleasure that our sug-
gestion-calculated, if carried out successfully,
to reflect such honor both upon our own and
our humble journal-has been approved by
the Association, and that it has Gin connection
with another excellent plan) been recommend
ed to the people of the United States. Now
that this mode which we suggested for raising
the necessary funds to complete the Monument
has received the high sanction of the Associa-
ton, we trust that our contemporaries through
out this State, in particular, will call attention
to the subject.
The first money collected by having a
" Washington Monument Boz" at the polls.
with this simple though heart-stirring appeal
beneath, "One Dime to the Memory of Wash
was at the municipal election in this
place, where nineteen dollars were thus collect |
ed, although there were but eighty.tuo votes
polled. Many who had no right to vote in said
declared their right (tantamount in.
deed to the oath of allegiance on the part of
the emigrant) to deposit their dimes! All felt
proud to have it in their power thus easily and
periodically to contribute to raise to its apex
grand and glorious No nument to our be-
loved WASHINGTON. We earnestly hope that
the appeal we to day publish will be generally
circulated throughout the Union.

The "Resolution' Party-The Locofocos
avow they have no platform, it is unnecessary
everybody knows it, too-they are in favo'
of all popular measures--and those are theil
particular favorites which the Wings give orr
gin to, and which are calculated to be of great
benefit to the people. Such measures are no,
only their favorites, but they 60 farther, and
claim them as their legitimate offspring! But,
if they have no platform, they are death on Re-
solutions. Last week we gave a set of them
in rhyme; the following, in prose, we find
floating about among our exchanges:
RESOLVED, That we are opposed to the cleo
ton of military cheftains TO the Presidency,
except when they are Of our own party and are
the most available men.
Resolved, That we have abiding confidence
in the intelligence and integrity Of the people,
except when the opposite party run a military
candidate, and then the people are invariably
humbugged, and 60 astray.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor of an econo-
mical administration of the federal government,
except when our party is in power either in
Congress or the Executive.
Resolved, That we are opposed to a general
system of internal improvements by the fede-
raj government, but 60 for large appropriations
of land and moneys for rivers, harbors and rail-
roads, in particular states, where the population
is large and the vote close.
Resozred, That we are opposed to the pro.
lection of any branch of Industry to the injury
of another, but think it would be beneficial to
all to be taxed for the protection of the iron,
coal, cotton and wool manufacturing interests,
as they belong chiefly to larger States of un.
certain politics.
RESOLVED, That this is a great country, but
WI don't think it affords enough business for
Congress to attend to, so we are in favor of
their supervising the affairs of other people,
and enforcing the faithful execution of the
laws Of nations.
