The members of the Democratic party Of
the Parish of St. Landry are respectfully re-
quested to attend meeting to be held at the
Court House of said Parish, on Monday, the
llth June, inst, at 10 clock, A. NJ, to adopt
resolutions and instructions for the Delegates
to be then chosen to represent St. Landry in
the Democratic Convention, to be held at Ba-
ton Rouge, on the 3rd Monday of June inst.
for the purpose of selecting candidates for all
of the State officers.
A full meeting is respectfully solicited.
1t is to be hoped that gentlemen belonging
to the new secret order, commonly known az
Know Nothing, and styling themselves Native
Americans, who formerly belonged to the De-
mocratic party, will have sufficient respect for
themselves not to attempt to partici pate in
the deliberations of said meeting.

The Weather is intensively warm, and no

Gentlemen Ii could have entertained
the Brightest apprehension that the Constitu-

that the general government might even be

against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and
every species of religious persecution. For
