TThose who have read this paper since its
origin, could not fail to perceive that it has dealt
but little if any in personal reflections; but
on the contrary it must have been observed
that we have taken frequent occasion strenu-
ously to condemn such a course. 1t has ever
been, and always will be our wish to conduct
the difficult business that has fallen to our lot
in peace, quietness, and with dignity. We are
fully aware of the duties, obligations, and great
responsibilities of our vocation; and we are
confident that an exhibition Of personal pas
sion or malice is not one of these. To our
mind no business is worth pursuing or possess
ing if it e%ngenders continued acerbities and the
use Of language violent and improper.
In accordance with the above expressed prin~
ciples, and as the Gazette withdraws the harsh
epithets used against us, we likewise act in a
similar manner with regard to anything it may
have conceived harsh on our part.

The Wing Meeting Last Wednesday.-The
Wings have cause to be gratified at the fine at
tendance at the Meeting last Wednesday from
all parts of the parish, There was quite a large
delegation from Crosse Tete, and considering
the distance they had to travel. and the bad
state of the roads, their attendance shows that
a spirit of animation and activity is abroad
among the Wings of this section which will
be practically displayed in figures on the 9th
of this month. The meeting was but few
minutes duration. Judge DEBLIEUx, in a few
pertinent remarks upon accepting the chair,
congratulated the party for the zeal manifested
on The occasion-that it presented bright au-
guries for the prospect before US. Zach can
didate, as proposed, was carried by acclama-
ton, without a dissenting voice. All was har-
mony and unanimity. Let us struggle earnest
ly, but with manliness, that whether triumphant
or defeated, we will deserve neither the re-
proaches of our own consciences nor the male
dictions of our opponents.

his daughter while at the North had regularly

home, and finding that he did not subscribe for
It, Gan omission he himself cannot account for,)
he was requested BY the fair reader at once to
become one on her account, which he accord
ingly did, as a loving father should have done

The Parish Democratic Nominations.-The
Democrats had their Meeting last Saturday to
nominate Senatorial and Representative candi-
dates. Their deliberations were not as harmo-
NOUS as on former occasions; this, we pre-
sumo, will not be denied. After a considera-
bic time wasted in balloting, ct cetera, a ticket
was at length formed which is perhaps the
strongest (both as regards ability and availabi.
lity) that has ever been produced here. Here
is the ticket:
For Senale--A. TALBOT, of lberville VIM.
STEWART, Of West Baton Rouge.
For House of Representatiues-Dr. THos. s.

The Wie.-Believe me, that what a true wo-
man needs most in the object of her affections,
is not comfort herself, but a something for her
to comfort,--not an arm that can surround her
with pleasures, but a name she can honor. and
an eye she can look to, for loving way of its
watching her.
Something to think of, to toll for, to fear for,
to suffer for, something she might proudly die
for-this is what a woman needs more truly
than a servant to attend her, or a luxurious
home to dwell in.--"IHorpe."

The Washington Monument Contribution
By the following from the Natchez Courier,
it appears that up to this time twenty-five pla-
ces have been heard from where boxes were
placed at the polls on the I'd of last month, to
receive the sDime Contribution" to the Wash
ington Monument:
"The suggestion of our old friend Bradburn,
of the PIaquemine Sentinel, has worked to a
charm in many instances. The amount collect
ed on the day of the Presidential election, at
twenty-five places heard from, in aid of the
Washington Monument Fund, amounts to &c.
634 II. If collections had been made in the
same ratio in all parts of the United States,
the aggregate amount would have been sufi-
cient to finish the Monument"
We sincerely trust, that as the practical op-
GRAFTON of our suggestion has proved so emf
nently successful-and without each contribu-
tor scarcely knowing that he was of any assis.
lance in forming the grand aggregate-the
plan will be continued at the approaching cleo
ton in this State, and at other State elections
throughout the Union, till the whole amount,
in this national manner, is obtained, and afford
US at an early day the pleasure of beholding
the noblest and most patriotic structure in the
world.

carriage, for General Pierce, wrote to him to
ascertain what was his family coat of arms,
probably with a view of painting it on the pam

only coat-of-arms which he knew his family
ever possessed, was that of his fathers shirt
sleeves, in which he fought at the battle of
Bunker Hill. The carriage is building at Pitts
