The AMERICAN PATRloT.--We had the plea
sure yesterday of visit from our friend j. B.
Harris, editor Of the American Putriot. This
journal is published at Clinton, East Felicana,
and enjoys large circulation in that and the
surrounding parishes. The Patriot is paper
of decided merit, and is conducted by Mr.. Har-
ris, with an energy and ability rarely to be
found in the country press. 1t is, as its name
imports, a firm and undertaking advocate of
American principles.-Bee. -4' W.

is dead, but We are hard of belief If it is the

was elected Mayor by majority of 165 votes

Reformation" knows no limit. This city and
Georgetown have alike suffered from the inter-
ference Of the administration, through its
menials, in our local elections and both have
signally rcbuked such interference.
/ If tho administration cannot here, where it
commands money men, and rules with dcs-
potic sway, coerce the people to sustain it,
what can it expect to accomplish throughout
the country, where the people are at liberty to
think and act for themselves?
1t must also be recollected that Georgetown
is the stronghold of Jesutism 1t is .fapored
with two Jesuit institutions, college and a
nunnery; the head of the "Society of Jusus"
resides there; yet, strange as it may appear,
the "Americans' have dared to assert thei.
right to rule.
