Beggars.-Our town is at present overrun
with this worthless scum of the human race.
Ali good-hearted persons ever feel a pleasure
in contributing to the necessities Of those
whose appearance indicate their existing natu-
raj wants, and their inability to obtain them by
any species of labor within their power. But
when we are called upon by hale, hearty men,
with ready-made certificates of being suffering
exiles (Hungarians now, not Poles as former
ly,) from tyrannical despotism in the Old world
OR by plump, rosy-cheeked girls and mascu-
line looking matrons, their wives and daugh-
tiers p~erhaps-disgust should be the result of
such importunings, and their exit from each
dwelling visited, expedited with ~alacrity. If
all other villages in the State are besieged in
this respect as Plaquemine is at present, there
must be a precious horde of such ~itinerant
scamps in Louisiana. From what we have
read and seen respecting beggars generally, we
believe that those in our vicinity are q portion
of an organized band now i~nfesting the coun-
try. We think that the town authorities, eve
r~ywhere, should make inquiries respecting the
nuisance, and pass an ordinance for their espe-
cial benefit.

Political Movements.-The "Jackson Asso.
citation of New Orleans" through their Presi.
dent and Secretary, have lately published an
address or manifesto, to "the faithful" residing
within the limits of Louisiana. The manifesto
takes strong ground in favor of Senator Dou.
glas, of Illinois, as the next Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency. According to it there
are no men in the Democratic ranks at all COM
parable with Douglas, even if there be in the
Union.
on the other hand, a forcible writer is pub
fishing a series of articles in the Louisiana Con-
r,er. advocating the claims of the Hon. James
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. According to his
logic, Buchanan is the man of men, the intel.
lectual pearl of great price of the Union, and.
altogether, his claims are entirely superior to
those of any other aspirant.
Wo hope our good Democratic friends will
be enabled to come to conclusion, in the course
OF time, as to which of the geniuses they re-
SO warmly, is to be the embodiment
OF Southern Demoeracy.-BuAetin.
