The Convention BiW.--We learn from the
Bulletin that the House of Representatives have
changed the day on which to take the vote OF
the people on the question Of calling a State
Convention, and we make the corrections in
the Act, which we publish to-day. The day for
taking the vote was fixed for the 18th of April,
to count the votes on the 10th of May, to elect
delegates on the l4th of June, and the Con.
vention to meet on the 9th day of July, 1852.
On its final passage in the House, it was carried
by a vote Of rs ayes to 7 noes-fve Demo.
Gratis and two Wings. There is no doubt the
Senate will pass the bill with great unanimity.

parish, growing out of a bill under considera-

that the interests of the whole Parish--the

congratulates the State, in consequence of the
amount of work which has already been got

The Graveyard.---We respectfully invite
those who have not subscribed to improve the
Protestant Graveyard-as well as those who
have subscribed but not yet paid-to pay it a
visit. They cannot fail to be agreeably sur

has been made under the direction of our wor-
thy Mayor, with the small amount Subscribed
in his possession. We trust the improved ap-
pearance of this sacred spot-sacred to all
good hearts. which cherish the memory Of those
that go before them-will induce many to
come forward and give a small sum towards its
future care and adornment.

The Convention Act.

We have a feeling of pride and gratifica''on
to-day, in laying before our readers the ACT iof
a Convention to frame a new Constitution
because, in the first place, we were among those
who advocated such a measure, and secondly.
in consequence Of the good result which will
most certainly grow out of it. The people re-
! ouire q code of laws tending to a due reward
of energy and industry, not those which rest as
an incubus upon individual exertions. and en-
terprises. No one certainly doubts that the
Convention vote will be adopted by a large
majority of the people they wish reforms on
a grand scale, and would rather not risk the
possibility of obtaining them through the slow
process of the present Constitution. Indeed
it would be difficult to say what length of time
it would take, by separate amendments of the
existing Constitution in the manner which / it
provides, if it were in fact practicable, to have
it so remodeled that its flaws would be erased,
and great and beneficial laws, now deemed of
paramount Importance, embraced within it,
And it would be equally as difficult to calcu.
late the expense to the State through such a
course. AS an evidence, the advertising alone
of each single amendment adopted by the Le-
gis'ature,. as the Constitution prescribes,
would cost the people fourteen thousand dol
lars! Very democratic, that. AS far as our
interests are concerned, this is not a very OBJ
,oofio-ohio f,,t,r, hut tho }rrfb p,uSt ha
told, nevertheless.
By calling a Convention at once, TO frame a
new Constitution, all this expense and loss Of
time to get in force wise and legitimate laws,
if they were obtained at all, would be avoided.
We may now calculate, if the people decide
BY their votes to call a Convention-of which
there is no donbt-that by this time next year
we will have in force many useful laws, and
a certainty that many others will be adopted,
which are deemed Indispensable to the future
progress and social and political welfare of
the State-those most prominent being an Elec-
tive Judiciary, a safe and judicious mode of
Banking, a Homestead Exemption bill, a liber-
al system of Internal Improvements, a better
method of Public Education, &c.
We feel now as if, indeed, a new and bright
er era had commenced in the history of Loui-
UnfettereG by laws which cramp in
.ustry and sicken energy, soon will she arise
out of the difficulties by which she has been
and in a short time cope with the
of her sister States in works which
extend commerce, encourage industry, and
tend to the moral, financial and political
of her people.

!, Sugar Iare.--The Bulletin of last Satur-
BENZ. DEBLIEUx, Secretary

: Sugar Iare.--The Bulletin of last Satur-
day, says:
We notice, under our commercial head, a
sale of = crop of Sugar at actual tare. This is
the first transaction of the kind that has been
reported. We learn that it is satisfactory to
both parties, the planter having obtained a
better price for his crop than he could have
realized at the old conventional tare of ten per
cent, and the buyer receiving the full amount
that he pays for. We believe the planters of
81. James are entitled to the credit o fbeing the
first to recommend actual tare as the most
equitable solution of the disagreement between
buyers and sellers on this subject. We hope
to see it generally adopted.

Delegates to the Wing National Convention

Delegates to the Wing National Convention.
We fully concur in the opinion of the Bul-
htin, that the Wing members of the Legisla.
ture would be acting with perfect propriety,
by assembling together, and appointing dele.
gates from the State at large, to attend the
Wing National Convention, to meet, in Balti-
more perhaps, next June. In this way, the
choice of the Wing party of the State would
doubtless be more surely obtained than by a
special convention for that purpose, at which
we might literally calculate that not more than
two-thirds of the parishes in the State would
be represented.

Subscribing for the Parish Paper.-It i
to be lamented, both for the interest of thu
citizen and the publisher, and for the public
at large, that our parish papers, generally, have
not a larger subscription list. Various reasons
we have often heard given for neglect in this
particular by those whose position in society
whose influence, and whose political bias, war
ranted the publisher in claiming him as one o.
the legitimate supporters Of the home press
the parish sheet did not contain the same. guam
tity Of reading as the city papers, or the North
ern papers, and which, too, could be procured
at a much less price; this is the main reason
assigned, and a more short-sighted one could
not well be conceived. With regard 10 the
difference in price of the city and Northern
journals, and the quantity of matter given
| which gives them an advantage over the coun.
try paper, an explanation is quite easy; those
papers are dailys, and in New Orleans, ten to
twelve dollars per year is paid for subscription
at the expiration Of the week, and with an
hours labor, the same matter which composed
these dailys are made up into a ueekly sheet
and sent into the country, for which from three
to FIVE dollars more is charged, making in fact
a price Of twelve to seventeen dollars and
were it not for the daily issue, the publishers
of those splendid sheets which are weekly
mailed for country subscribers, would fail at
thirty dollars per annum for subscription, were
their subscribers as numerous as at present.
A parish paper is the home chronicler of
home events, which cannot elsewhere be re.
corded it is an impartial and truthful summa-
ny of local affairs, from which the records Of
history-of individuals, commerce, agriculture
and politics--are properly obtained. That
there are many parish journals undeserving of
patronage, cannot be denied their gross ina
bility, manifest carelessness and lack of ener-
gy, Indifference to truth, and low and disgust
ing political ribaldry, may give them an ephe-
fame and a transitory existence; but as
,ertain as night follows light, their support will
them, and they sink as they should sink.
INTO the disgusting mire out of which they
'prang. But when a parish paper is to be found
is high-to1ed in its sentiments, consis.
energetic in its advocacy Of town and
'arish interests, regular in its issue, neat in its
ppearance, and its selections made with judg-
lent and taste, and with reference to moral and
rental Improvement, it certainly deserves the
arm and liberal support of acommunity.
