Coming Events.

From indications now before us, il
may be safely inferred that the next
legislature to assemble here in January
will be Wing. The Parish OF East
Baton Rouge, always Democratic, has
given Mr.. Pond-candidate for Con-
gress majority. And this election
may be safely taken as an indication Of
the true position Of parties in this par
ish. We attribute this change to the
miserable impotency Of the last self
STYLED Democratic legislature, and look
upon it % a well merited rcprooi from
The people. This change is not there
fore change Of the peoples but one
Of the party. The last legislature
vas not democratic, in anything else
than name for this truth one has
only to look into their volume of acts
and discover in every page Of the book,
some well established principle of the
party, dated. The excuse offered is
that it devo!ved upon that Legislature
to carry into effect wing constitution
But this is no apology for an il'-ad-
yised, and uncaIled for Free Banking
system and the unconditional manner
in viii Oh the faith Of the State has
been pledged, aud her bonds issued
for Internal Improvements. The part
izans OF that body seem to have entire
ly forgotten, the old issues between
the two political parties-thus they
have driven the Wings from their
great platform, and now we must look
Cor the Wings to take up tie strong
holds abandoned by the democrat
party, if for no other reason than be-
cause it viii not do, to let the parties
meet on The same ground and become
confoGnded.
IF the Wings Of the next legislature
assume position directly antagonis-
teal to the so called Democratic party
as it now stands, they will return to
the position their forefathers occupied
in the Revolutionary time-then we
will be wiling to shake hands with
them, as belonging to the great Repub-
lean party, il our neighbor in Lafay-
cite street has no objection; and will
not charge us with being Wing. of
this fact our readers may be satietied.
We will "show up" the next General
Assembly not only as it seems to be,
out us u IS.

Der Of persons in this city became
members thereof; and although no
prize was drawn by tho members
of the Union hero, still it was the ine-
dunn through Which many supurb en-
cravings, and other works of art, were
introduced, aud has awakened q taste.
TINT must per force grow, until the
Capital of the State will assume po-
sition in the Union, for her apprecia-
ton Of the elegant productions Of &C.
nous. II is needless waste o. time,
to eudeavour to awaken In the mass of
this people, love for the Fine Arts;
yet there are we'll educated aud intel
hgent citizens among us, with whom
it should be pride, to foster and en-
courage the dormant taste that has
been awakened.
1t is needless at this day to urge the
absolute necessity, Of the exis'en,e Of
good taste, and eorrec. appreciation of
the Fine Arts. A taste for the Ora.
ma. for Painting, Sculpture and Mu-
sic, is the legitimate offspring of intel
ligcrce, without which, no Republican
form of Government can exist
This is safe conclusion-based
upon fxed facts in the past history Of
mankind Such being the case IL is
the duty of every citizens to encour-
age the Fine Arts, if not for for tn
pleasure derived to themselves for the
welfare and stability Of the Republic.
Any effort to encourage taste for the
Fine Arts, should meet with encour-
agemcpt; because the whole pleasure
and happiness Of rifional eSissonse,
is connected-pot with dollars Of every
day drugery but with the aspiration
Of genius, for the boautisul--sle po-
eify of life, aud very saul Of exist
ence.
The mawkish morality Of The New
York laws--that cannot be made to
put a stop to bcastly prize fight. and
disg~aceful riots; give a death blow
to the American Art Union, because
the distribution of prizes by lot, cons
hicted with the Puritanieal '1otteiy
laws" Of at'trHcendentally mora
State. Shame upon all, say we, con-
nected with the effort that brought the
only institution that ever reared Oh
this Continent, to fo3ter aud encourage
art and Artists. to the ground, That
blow has sent chill to the new born
genius of Amcrica,e that will take
years to remove.
In reference to the Capital Of Lou
isiana--our own interesting town we
have again to say that We congratulate
our citizens on the newly awakened
taste for the Fine Arts. The Messrs
Walters, We conceive, first awakened
the new era and the fue oil paintings
brought out by W. d. Phillips, and
j. q. Lanouc, have encouraged it.

cravings, seem to be DESTROYS of asccr-
