Unlol has every reason for noble congrat

in the wake Of this glorious aud memorable

Of States and Of patriots, Georgia, North
Cnrolinn, and in fact the whole south,
without distinction Of old party lines, and

common foe, and exhibit a determination
which must lead TO victory.
Already Stephens, Toomls, Ros,,
Kerr, men eminent for their high abili-
ties and political position in the whig ranks,
have raised their. eloquent voices against
the traiterous machination and new tangled
theories Of political frnatics. Already
have they taken the stump in behalf Of our
party---thc only party that has ever with
stood the onslough Of the enemies of this
country and expressed their resolution Of
doing service under our banners. If we
east our eyes elsewhere, We behold on eve
ry side most cheering evidences Of salu-
tary reaction. In the State of Mississippi
every democrat who was so imprudent as
to join the dark-larntern order is leaving in
sueh haste that in many counties n member
is regarded us rara aris in tevris. In
Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky, de-
Ilcciiohs are matters of everyday occur
renee, aud the tide which swells the demo-
cratic ranks is still onward. In our own
State, we. are willing TO stake our rcputa-
ton as prophet that many parishes which
have iuvafiaJly given large whig majorties
will go nearly to one man for our State
ticket in November. 1t will he shown, ut
that time, that Louisiana is wide awake to
her true interests that she will never as.
cent in any manner, either direct or indi-
r =
rect, to the propagation Of false principles,
and that she has ever been true TO herself
and to her noble sons. Those who may
be tempted to believe that we speak III a
tone of vain braegadocia for the purpose
of making political capital, will learn, at
their cost, that they are like the men sro-
ken of in the Scriptures, who have ears
and hear not, who have eyes and sec NOT. ,
We repeat it, the idcs Of November will
dispcl tie delusion."
SPIRITUAL MEDIUM HUMBuGs.A Spiritual
mediums are turning their marvellous pow
erS to practical purposes. A Mrs. Spaul-
ding at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was rapidly
sinking from some secret malady that baf-
fed the sagacity of the physician. A me
dium was spiritually sent to her, through
whom a long deceased Indian doctor in-
formed the invalid that the cause of her ill.,
ness was pin that she had swallowed,
which he would bring up at a certain hour
Of subsequent day, If his directions were
followed. The lady obeyed directions, and
at the precise time mentioned, threw up a
large brass pin, much corroded, and was at
once relieved Another spiritual miracle,
recorded in the spiritual papers, Is the cure
Of bolts in the greymarc of H. A. Billings,
