Bayou Plaquemine.--We have been shown
by Mr.. G. w. R. BAYLEy, a plan which, as
far as we are able to judge, will prove of great
public benefit. This plan, which we cannot
describe distinctly without an engraving to re-
fer to, does away with the necessity Of closing
Bayou Plaquemiue, while it prevents any great
food of water from rushing in; it likewise
tends to facilitate deposits on either side, there
by preventing land-slides-prevents drift wood
from going down the ~bayou-affords a good
bridge across the bayou, and gives no hin.
drance to navigation. These are certainly
great desideratnms, which must receive the
appreciation of all persons from all sections
Mr.. B. contemplates making a drawing of his
plan for the examination Of the public; and it
will doubtless be submitted to the considera.
ton of the next Legislature.

THE Election ON Monday.

This is a dry subject to us-but tue truth of
history must be chronicled, whoever may dis
like it. We have been victimized, scandalized
and dolarised to death lost the election by
1879 votes. Such a sweeping, Waterloo defeat,
was, perhaps, never before experienced by Ell
ther party in this Parish. The old Plaquemines
trick was not played upon US probably, but a
game equally as successful is spoken OF and
acknowledged by all. How many thousands
Of dollars it cost the Democrats for this victory
is not exactly known, nor is it necessary. Eve
ry stratagem is acknowledged as Legitimate in
war, and the rule has long since been admitted
in elections. 1t is to be seen whether the
Wings will! nor be banded together, and whe-
Their they will determine to 60 the a lengths
as their opponents.
The following is the extraordinary vote:

FOREIGNERS in the United States.

The Report of the Superintendent OF the
| Census gives a classification of our population
by nativity" as we'll as by age and race. Ac-
cording to that Report, the total number OF
immigrants and descendants of immigrants in
| 1920, was 359,OlO; in 1880, 732,847; in 1910,
l,90o,942; in 1850, 4,35O,934. The census
tables, however, show the actual number OF
| foreigners arrived in the United States, from
1890 to l850-60 years-to have been 2,7o6'-
600: of whom it is not at all likely that more
than 1000, 900 survived in June of the latter
wear. In the two years that have since elapsed,
| about 100000 have arrived so, that OF the
whole population now amounting to about 90
OOO,O 0 not more than 100000 are really Of
foreign birth. About one-haf Of the entire
immigration into the United States for the last
! 20 years, has been of Irish people, about one
fourth Germans, and the rest consists OF per-
sons from nearly every nation on the face OF
the earth. 1t may be assumed therefore that
we have l,35O,0O0 Irish and $4,000 Germans
among our population. 1t is thus evident that
the amount of our foreign population not ma
tive to the soil, is very small.
The census from which the above particu-
lars have been gathered, will do much to cor
rect false notions too commonly entertained
by foreigners among US, as well as by Amerl-
cans themselves, about their number and
strength. A German paper in Ohio, it appears,
has recently said that there are over five mil
lions of Germans in this country. Ina late de-
bate in the House of Lords, it was stated that
there were 10000 0 Irishmen in the United
States. Mr.. ROBINSON, himself an freshman
connected with the Tribune newspaper, has
even claimed eight or ten millions. The GEN.
sus tables, even supposing them to be only an
approximation to the truth, show that our en-
tire foreign population, with their descendants,
amounts to little more than four millions, while
those of foreign birth are only about two and
a half millions. The emigration to this coun-
try is increasing still more largely every year,
and we are glad to learn from various sources
that those who have reached our shores for u
long time past, are of 4 class which constitute
the true wealth and greatness of the nations
which gave them birth.

whie National Convention.
From the Picayune.

tEe -
Ba1T1woRE. June l5.-An immense crowd
of visitors fill the city. Thousands are daily
arriving.
The Wing platform is already prepared for ,1
the action of the convention. 1t embraces all
the leading Wing principles, and insists upon,
the finality of the compromise measures and
the maintenance of the fugitive slave law. This
outline meets pretty general appreciation from
the Northern delegates.
This platform will be presented to the con-
~vention for its adoption before a nomination for
a candidate is made, and the Southern delega-
ton, it is generally believed and stated, will in
sist upon this course and the adoption of the
platform in this shape.
In the chances fora nomination Fillmore here
ranks first; Webster is rising rapidly and Scott
stock is dropping.

UThe New York Post pproyes the

UThe New York Post approves the nomi-
nation of Gen. Franklin Pierce for the Presi-
dency, but rejects the platform of principles"
erected by the Convention. 1t says:
Whether the resolutions are good or bad we
regard as a matter of very little moment. Thew
undoubtedly speak the sense of the committee
who framed them, but in no respect can they be
considered as speaking the sense of the Con-
%vention. The resolutions were not adopted bv
those who nominated the candidate. Thew
were not put till a large number of the mem.
bers had witharwn; they were not debated, not
considered, not even heard; a considerable mum.
Der OF the members present voted against them,
and those who sid aaye," did not know to what
they were giving their applause. The pretence
of passing resolutions, of adopting a plat
form of political belief, under such cireumstan-
ces, is the merest farce in the world-a pro.
as destitute of moral force, as if the
resolutions had been adoptedb by a dozen chance
travellers on board a steamboat.

Ehe Mormons.

After all allowances for exaggerated state
ments about the wretched state of affairs in
the Norman territory, no one can reasonably
doubt that the evils existing there are outrages
upon all sound freedom and decency. Indeed
the accounts from the Great Salt Lake confirm
all that has been previously reported of the
Mormons, and render ~exaggeration impossible.
Brigham Young, the Governor, exercises Il pow
er as absolute, if not more SO, than the So
called President of France. Letters from
Salt Lake up to Feb. %, have been received,
from which it appears that the Legislature con-
tinued in session, although the term allowed
by law expired some time since. The mem-
bers Of the Legislature are mere creatures of
Young, nominated by him and voted for as a
matter of course. 1t appears that al who
feel an interest in the proceedings, whether
members or not, are allowed to take part in the
discussions. When the Governor makes known
his will, his word is law. That this statement
is no fabrication appears from a debate which
was had in the Legislature, upon the question,
"What should be done with the per diem of
the members?" The members were much d.
yided. At last the Governor rose, to put a
stop, as he said, to the debate, and settle the
matter for them. In the course Of his remarks
he lngged in the General Government, Judge
Brocchus and Secretary Harris, and in his
chaste and elegant style, said that "Judge
Brocchus and Secretary Harris anne here the
representatives of a poor, contemplate rotten
Government, and that they, poor, drunken cur.
ses, thought to lead the Government of Utah
by the nose" His speech throughout abound
ed in similar abuse. Upon another occasion,
it is credibly stated, that while addressing a
large collection of his people, men and women,
he seemed much displeased with some of the
latter for appearing or affecting to show a little
modesty. He rebuked them with the most in
decent expressions, which it would not be
seemly either to write or print. All that has
been said about the Mormons having a plurality
of wives, &c, is confirmed, and details of a
most revolving character could be given were it
necessary. Hostility to our Government pre-
walls among them. 1t is even said that secret
preparations are being extensively made to re-
sist it, and for that purpose alliances are formed
with the Indians.
1t will not surprise US in the least if we
should have a war with these Mormons in the
course of a few years and if we have, we
feel assured that, considering how they have
violated all the rules Of d%ecency, the bad mo-
rails which exist among them, how they have
trampled our flag under foot and abused the
General Government, there will be a strong
disposition to wage q wal of entire extermi- |
nation.

hear the news; but just as he reached the sur
