Many years ago there was in the sastern1
part Of Massachusetts,, q worthy old DID. I
and although he was an eminently benevo-
lent man and good christian, yet il mus,
be confessed that he loved a. Joke much bet
ter than the most invetera;e jokers.. IL
was before church organs we're much in use,
it so happened that the choir of the
church had recently purchased double bass
violin. Not far from the church was a
large pasture, and in II huge town bull.--
One hot Sabbath morning in the summer
he got out Of the pasture, and came below
ing up the street. About the church there
was plenty Of untrodden grass, green and
good, and Mr.. Bull stopped 10 try the quail
ity, perchaLce to ascertain ii its location
had improved its flavor, at any rate the
reverend doctor was in the midst Of his ser.
mon, when
"Boo WOO woo," went the bull,
The doctor paused, looked at the singing
seats, and with grave face, said:
"l would thank the musicians not to tune
thsir instruments during service time; it an.
noys me very much" .....
The people stared, and the minister
went on.

he passed another green spot.
The parson paused again, and addressed
the choir: ...'
a. really wish the singers would not tune
their instruments while am preaching, as
| remarked before, for it annOys me very
much"
The people Uttered, for they knew as
well as any one, what the real state of The
case was. The minister went on again
with his discourse, but he had not proceed.
ed far before another "Boo-woO-woo,'
came from Mr.. Bull. .......
The parson paused once more, and again
exclaimed:

Memphis Convention, such resolutions
as the following, ofieredby Mr. Teresh.
err Of New Orleans, which would dis.
grace the drunken orgies ola party Of
Eucaneers:
Whereas, Ten thousand American
SHIPS lsdeu with products of the South
ern and Southwestern States and their
returns to the valne of $500, 006,000,
pass annually through the narrow
strait between Cuba and Florida, and
as this commerce must evidently In
crease with the increasing population
of the great valley o. the West and
the opening Of the Isthmus routes to
Pacific Ocean, and
Whereas, The Island of Cuba by
its northern ports, which lie immedi-
ately upon this sole highway ofthe com
merce of nations, commands its ingress
and eagress, while within circle of
1000 miles diameter there is no port,
except in Cuba and the adjacent isles,
which can serve as naval station, and
our entire Southern coast from Norfolk

the whole Gulf of Mexico is without
a first class American port;

D1spu7ED TEREE1pRY, Tame 3.
Mr.. Comet lis the organ Of the
@Plank Road Company" I feel it my
duty to inform you, that the good
people Of Iberville have at last opened
their hearts, and propose to open their
purses, and build road, from the
Crosse Tete country to Blaquenine.
We are glad Of tIis, for every road
built, is service Of the public, bet
have not our Ibarville friends COM
lnenced toolate The appropriation
of $4,000 BY thePolice Jury to. be-
gin the road, puts Hberyille parish far
ther in debtthanis West Baton Rouge,
50 the objection is removed against
connecting Crosse Tete country to w.
Baton Rouge, because that parish was
more in debt than 1beryille. But will
the people of Ibetyille stand the pro-
posed tax, which must. reach to $780,
900 before the road is completed
Now | hold it to beright and proper
to tax the East side of Iberville, and
the Bayou Goula country, for the ben
eft of this end of the parish, and for
the business advantage Of Plaquemine,
if it were necessary to do so, to afford
the people of this end Of the parish the
facilities of getting to the. river, but
when it is considered that the Plank
Road now nearly completed, affords
with the coast road, as near way to
Plaquemine as would the proposed
Crosse Tete and Indian village road,
what is the use of SO much expense?
If the people of Crosse Tete, can go
to Plaquemine vin the Plank Road,
and the coast road, and be better ac-
commodated, than they can be by the
proposed new read. caa Indian Village,
why tax the whols people Of Iberville.
merely to accommodate a small local
ity, for it must be remembered, that
from the center of the Crosse Tete
country, Plaquemine is just as far,
whittier you 90 by the way of the
Plank Road and down the coast, or
by the proposed new Road, via Indian
Villiage-.just twenty one miles,
Now we do not believe, that any trav-
eler, or planter will 60 over avery bad
and muddy road, if he is travelling to
Piaquemiife, taking the chances Of
being detained BY miserable con
Quoted ferry at Indian Village, when
he could go more than half the way
over plank road, and the remainder
of the way down the coast, having no
fear ola badly kept ferry before their
eyes. Such are our speculations, and
we leave their value to be judged by
the citizens of Ibersille. We are will
ling to see both roads completed, and
the tax payers Of this part Of lberville
will pay their amount with pleasure,
but feel at the same time that the
Plank Road route to Plaquemine is
all they desire, and the only road chat
good sence dictates them tosuse.

III. Editor.-I see suggested by
an anonymous writer in the Baton
Rouge Gazette, the propriety of the
Wings making nominations for MEM
bers to our next Legislature. As | am
great stickler for the SOVEREIGNTY of
the People, and looking to the fire.
qency Of popular elections,I have
plan to propose to both the Wings
and Democrats, to save time, expense,
and trouble ; and it is this: Let each
party appoint three able bodied men,
with just brains enough to make a
stump speech when required, and who
can swear and drink AM libitum whose
duty shall consist, in pointing out, to
the party, who are the available men
in their respective ranks, to be run for
Office Let it be understood, there shall
be no appeal from the decision of these
men, in poluicalmatteys. To satisfy
any reasonable man, the above plan
would achieve all the purpose for which
party organization exists at present, l
will only state few facts. 1t is,no-
torious, two or three individuals at
most in our Parish originate what are
called party nominations. In order
even to be once thought Of, as suita-
bic candidate, it is necessary to curry
favor with these leaders, who though
not great men themselves, are the
cause of greatness in others, and. in
many respects resemble the dung hill,
upon which the cock struts and crows.
Besides it is or ought to be an object
with the people, particularly planters,
| to save time, trouble, and expense and
even if these agents were paid for.their
patriotism. in bringing out candidates,
the public would be the gainer-we
all know it is one expensive thing,
even for the candidate himself to cleo
tioneer, but when this duty devolves
on his friends, it is a burthen hardly
to be borne and yet it must be done,
| in this virtuous and pious age OF our
glorious RepubIic, 1t is clearly
proven if a man expects to be elected,
he must work for it-yes and as a
friend at my elbow, hints, and pay
for 1T too. 1t is sheer folly, now-a-
days to put forth a mans virtues or
even his talents, unless the latter are
of the most brilliant stamp, as any re-
commentator, for Office. Any man
can be virtuous, and great fool or
stupid fellow besides. but the People
want smart men, to serve them-that
is to say alittle Of the rascal achem
occasion requires-othersoise. they
cery reasonably conclude, they are
not tairlyrepresented. In conc!us-'
ion Mr.. Editor, I fatter myself, | have
proved the plan proposed, is the wis
est one for the interest Of all parties.
