the parish Of Plaquemine win far exceed the
crop Of last season. The trees are 90 much
loaded that branches are often broken under
the weight Of the precious fruit. Farmers
generally ask from eighteen to twenty five
dollars per thousand for their crop.

EXCUSES ron THE ADMINISTRATION.
1t is quite amusing to notice the dsvises to
protect the administration from the crushing
denunciation Of its policy towards the New
York "Softs." We are referred to the let
ter Of the immaculate Caleb, protesting
against coalition Of the Democrats, and
Free Sellers in Massachusetts, and TO the APP
pointment Of 40 anti Free Soiler as Bronson's
successor. DO these facts atone for Gu
thrie' 8 letter sactioned, as be says its poll
cy was. by the President? Nobody alleges
that oply Free Sellers are appointed. OF
course Democrats ID the North sound upon
the Southern question, receive appointments.
The policy is to harmonize the party by re-
cognizing all sections, but the South feels that
harmony, if it could be secured even, to be
dearly purchased BY any eountenance or en-
couragement to Free Seilism.
The President pats them on the back 10
New York, while his Secretary Gushing ere
ates diversion Oh bis own hook, and with.
out authority in Massachusetts,, to relieve the
administration if possible from the odium Of
its publicly declared, and officially announced
policy in the Guthrie letter.
And we are told that the success Of the
Wings in New York. viii place Seward in the
Senate. We have no evidence Of this--but
il SO, while we should deeply lament it. we
could scarcely forget the coalition Of Demo
Gratis and Aboliiioaists in Massachusetts,
which sent the notorious Sumner to the Sem
ate, gho mored to repedlMe Fagitire Slaoe
Lap Similar recent coalitions in Massachu-
SETS and that corrupt bargain and sale. which
gave Free Soil Speaker, for Democratic
Governor 10 the Wing State Of Vermont, will
not soon pass from the memories of Southern
men While there are "Softs" among the
Democrats at the North, there are those
equally unsound anorg the Wings. The
faint is sufficiently strong in both parties,-
All alike deserve uutnitisated condemnation,
who associate with, or pander to the Free
Soil faction
This however, is not the question 1t is
idle to attempt to ovade the real issue, by
any enquiry as to the relative amount Of alb
olitiouism in the Wing or Democratic parties
of the North The question shall an ad.

clares its policy TO be, 10 recognize the
"Sutts" 1cith the Free Soil sentiments lhich
they entertain, and 1rhich it is absurd to

f" ENTITLED TO OFFICIAL STATION" The
"Hards," in New York have given one as
founding response to this question in the
heavy plurality obtained by them over the
"Softs," in the election which has recently
taken place there. Supposed to be compare
lively weak and perhaps submissive, they
have spoken in thunder tones to the admin
istra:ion that sought to sublue them-tones
that will be re echoed along the Southern
plains. and waters, until the wrong shall be
avenged and the violated rights Of the South
acknowledged

this connection, we would suggest to the Committee

(befoTe they report on the resolution respecting
Mayor Kinpslands portrait for the Governor

permission to see the beautiful portrait II question

The Religious Test In Now Hampshire.
rr.a,,a a. ro.ooul Do<..% -

On Tuesday, in the Senate, Mr.. Whittem0re intro
duced the following joint resolution, which was unan-
mously adopted by that body, and sent down to the
House for concurrence -
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
in General Court convened That the provision Of our
State Constitution commonly called the Religious Test"
which makes the profession OF certain religious faith
essential qualification for certain Offices is unjust anti
republican, contrary to the spirit OF the present and
proper time arrives for again calling convention to revise
the constitution. will spare efforts to induce the
people to assent to the calling Of such convention and to
the abrogaton Of principle which should find place
in the constitution Of free State
When this resolution was read in the House, Mr..
Preston, Of New Ipswich, moved that it be laid on
the table, giving as his reason that 1t was desirable
to have il acted upon by full House. The motion
was agreed to without objection; but we hope onr
friends will not allow this day to close without calling
it up and passing it.
As persons abroad may inquire why we do not pro.
pose now to submit the people the question Of calling
properto remark that is considered doubtful wheth
or we have constitutional authority to do Our
sttnon provides that this question shall be submitted
Eat the expiration Of every seven years." 1t has al
ways been held by the democrats that the asure
could submit the question often as they pleased.
until convention was called; but after convention
has been held, many good lawyers and others hold
that the question cannot again be submitted until
expiration OF years from the calling or holding
of such convention. This may or may not be the
true construction OF the rather blind provisions Oh the
constitution upon this subec but whether it is 80 or
not difference Of opinion In regard to it would rem
der futile any efforts to get convention called now.
a convention was held in 1850, and in this view OF
the question another cannot be held until 1867,
This supposed constitutional difficulty has deferred
and many earnest advocates of the abrogation OF
the religious test from urging the calling of another
convention at this time. But it is due to the charac
ter OF State that the Legislature should pass the
above resolution, and we hope our friends in the
House will zee that it is done.

DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY IN FAYETTE COUNTY,
INDIASA-WHITE WATER CANAL-The Connersvls
Times, OF the 3st ult gives the following account
Of the destruction of property in that region and of
the damage done to the White Water Canal, by the
freshet:--
On Thursday morning Of last week, about
o'clock it commenced raining, and rained inccssant
y all day, until some time in the next night. White
Water began to rise some time in the day. and con-
tinucd to rise rapidly until within few inches Of its
greatest height in the great flood in January lsi7
carrying all before it. The White Water Canal is
literally ruined; locks and culverts torn down; en-
bankments leyelled with the surface; the feeder
dams washed away, and in many places not vestigs
left to show that there had ever been canal. The
farms on the bottom lands are stripped Of their
fencing great deal Of stock were either drowned
or strayed away; fields of carried away by the
flood, or buried in the sand. Some 200 barrels OF
lard besides meat and other articles were oated of
from the penthouse of Conwell Il Sons, much q
which can never be recovered. Any attempt to esti
mate the amount Of property lost and destroyed,
would be mere conjecture. 1t is thought, by those
most capable of Judging that the loss 10 this county,
on White Water and its tributaries, cannot be less
than from 100000 to $500, 000 And the rain on
Monday and Monday night last, raised the river Ia
within two feet of the first rise, doubt and greatly
augmented the loss.
The Times adds that gloom and dependency per.
vades the Canal Company, and, indeed, the whole
community; and It j. prophecied that the canal viii
never be reconstructed"
