above Plaquemine-making the distance be-
tween this town and Crosse Tete some four
teen or fifteen miles, rendering the route about
ten miles shorter than the present road, which
is half the year under water.
We trust that the facts and advantages thus
briefly glanced at, which will accrue to our Par
ish by the building of this road and its connec-
ton with our town at a favorable point, will

PUBLIC MEETING.

At n meeting of the citizens of Bayous
Crosse TGte and Marangouin, on Wednesday
the 2lst inst, for the purpose of taking into
| consideration the Importance OF opening a di-
rect and immediate communication with the
Mississippi River: On motion of DIR. Camp
| bell |. ERWIN, Esq, was called to the chair and
J. l.. MATTHEWS appointed Secretary. Up ta-
king the chair, the President briefly stated the
| object of the meeting to- be that of ascertanlng
| the sentiments and feelings ofasthe p~eoplenpon
! the various; projects now under consideration,
of opening a more direct and practicable
route, thereby facilitating the expectation of the
crops to market at any and all seasons of the
| year, and obviating the injurious consequences
which often attend the planting interest by
being compelled to await the rise of the Missis-
sippi River.
On motion Of DR.. Campbell, a committee,
consisting of Messrs. Slack, Brady, Camp
bell, Brooks, Ivy and Jackson, was appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting.
On returning, they reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The Inconvenience and perplexity
arising from our isolated position should prompt
us to unanimity of action in the selection of
such mode Of communication with the Missis-
sippi River as will come within the scope of our
resources, therefore be it
Resolred, That in the opinion of this meet
ing a Plank Road, from a central point on
Crosse Tete, intersecting the river at such a
place as may be deemed most expedient, is the
best and the most practicable.
I'd. Resolred, That the following gentlemen,
Messrs. Slack, Campbell, Brady, Brooks, Ivy,
Jackson, Garrett, Erwin and Matthews, be ap-
pointed a committee to confer with the inhabi-
tants of Baton Rouge, as well as those of the
vicinity, for the purpose ofdetermining the most
eligible terminus, on the river, and solicit their
cooperation.
Sd. Rcsolred, That this meeting adjourn, to
meet again at this place, on the 2lst. day of
May next, for the purpose of acertaining what
progress has been made in procuring subscrip-
tons for stock, and other deliberations connec-
ted with the undertaking.
On motion of A. E. Brady, Resolved, that
the Secretary furnish a copy of the proceed
ings of this meeting to the Baton Rouge Ga
zeHe and Plaquemine Sentinel for publication.

edifce is all theirs,-from the rotten sill to the
|]eaky roof-uis all theirs. They were the ar
c%ihitects, the workmen, the eulogists-would
we could say they alone paid the expenses, But
we cannot. The whole people of the State
have alike suffered, and from that suffering has
arisen an. universal reputation of their work,
such as political or State history affords no par
allel.
Is it wise, is it right, is it prudent, that the
people should again entrust into the hands OF
those who modelled the present organic law, or
of the party which elected them, the creation of
a new one? We think not. And if the voters
of Louisiana Judge ofhefuure by The past, (the
only safe criterion to 60 by) they will at least
elect delegates from the party which has not
proved its incompetency in so signal and de.
plorable n manner, as has the one to which
we have referred. s Z
We shall not at this time I'D jrrre the Wings
not to be "eaught mapping" But we do most
earnestly entreat the people Of Louisiana not to
be "caught mapping" at the approaching cleo
ton on the l4th of June. And we will say,
that an elective judiciary, homestead exemption,
and many other wise and progressive doctrines,
embodied in the Wing Platform of last Novem-
Der, may depend upon their selection, and that
it is always best to profit by the experience of
the past, when providing for the future.

The "Washington Monument Bor."-We
have been requested by the Mayor, DR.. HORNS
BY--who has just returned home from the Vi
cinity of the monumental structure-to state,
that the first boa placed at the polls, in accor-
dance with the suggestion introduced by the
Sentinel, will be at the election for Mayor and
Selectmen on Monday next. It will be known
by the inscription upon it-"W Washington Mo-
numem Bon ;" and its purpose more pointedly
indicated by the heart-appealing line beneath
"Ome Dime to the Memory Of Washington" -
This is the full amount asked from all, of what
ever condition, to be deposited in the box at
the same time. that they poll their votes-that
glorious right which the wisdom and valor of
WASHINGTON mainly achieved and surely there
are none so poor in patriotism and in purse,
who would refuse this small mite to testify a
nations gratitude and evince a nations pride.

A Locgoco's Opinion Of a Village Newspa-

lie printing, we make the following extract, Ia
ken from the New York Tribune of the follow

MIR. CIingman concluded his remarks by say
ing that it the contract system cannot be car

Office. He deprecated the connection of pub.
lie printing with a partizan press.
Mr.. Jones (Tenn., Loco) stated the reasons
which would influence him in voting to lay the
whole matter on the table, and incidentally he
opposed a Printing Bureau and alluded to the
fact that every district represented in Congress
has a newspaper, except the Accomac, in Vir.

Purchasers at SheriGf's Sals-The Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania has decided that
the purchaser ofproperty at Sheriff's sale, who
acts by an agent, is not bound by the bid ofhis
agent, if it exceeds the amount to which the
principal authorized the agent to go in bidding.
The case in which this doctrine was laid down,
was one in which the Sheriff claimed te recover
the difference between the bid of the agent and
the price for which the property was subse-
quently sold, on a second sale, after the princi-
pal had refused to take the property at the price
bid by his agent at the first sale. The Court
decided that the principal was not liable for any
act of his agent, which was done by the latter
in violation or excess of the authority delega-

nus on the Mississippi. The names of gentle
men prominent in those proceedings, give sure.
ty that earnestness, determination and results
are embraced in this movement. They advo-
cate the building of a Plank Road by a stock
company; and it's necessity to that wealthy and
rapidly growing district, now in a comparatively
isolated position, must be apparent to all. Now,
we would ask, have the people Of this town and
this parish no interest whatever in this Road!
We would inquire iftbey cannot see at a glance
the evils resulting by the terminus of the road
being opposite Baton Rouge, and the great ad-
vantage to us here of its joining the Mississippi
at a point nearer Plaquemine?- We can thus
have it FIVE wish, but it requires the manifes-
tation of a liberal spirit among our citizens; we
consider too, that it would be very judicious
for the Parish to take a handsome amount of
the stock. II has a large revenue from Crosse
Tete, which is annually and rapidly increasing.
Let US state a few facts in proof of this:
In l843 only 43 hhds. of sugar and about
200 bales of cotton were raised on Crosse Tete:
last year the staple products had grown to over
5000 hhds. of sugar and $500 bales of cotton;
and in all probability 1000 hhds and nearly
5000 bales will be the aggregate this year!
There are over 80 miles front on Crosse Tete
and the M~arangouin, of land free from inunda.
ton, which will soon be put into the cultivation
OF sugar. There are also other bayous tribu-
tary to the Crosse T&te, which are being loca-
ted with small charlottesville last three years
of high water having proved that these lands are
also safe from overflow.
These simple facts, proving the growth and
increasing wealth Of this favored region. are
sufficient inducement, if it regards its w inter-
est, for the parish to take a large amount of
stock, most particularly when it is considered
hat the road will pay a handsome dividend.
The distance from Crosse Tete to the Mis-.
at the nearest point, is about 10 miles.
nd comes out upon the river about two miles

The New Arctic Expedition.

We copy from the New York Journal Of
Commerce an abstract Of DR.. kANE's lecture
on the Polar regions, and the scheme he pro-
puses for the new expedition about to be I'M
dertaken in search of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN.
The Secretary Of the Navy, in his recent re
port, expressed his approval of the plan, and
his readiness to aid it to the extent of his abl-
ity; commencing to the favorable consideration
Of Congress any application that may be made
for more efficiently fulfilling the scientific OBJ
jecls of the expedition. Mr.. II. GRINNELL
has placed the shp advance" at the disposal
Of Dr. KANE, whose services in connexion with
the previous expedition prove his eminent fit
ness for the duties entrusted to him. 1t is
hoped that the scientific societies Of the coun-
try will sustain the private gentlemen who
have already stepped forward to promote an
enterprise 80 worthily begun, and 50 fraugh,
with interest to science and humanity.
