Railroad Meeting.

1t will be borne in mind that the Railroad
meeting to take into consideration the cxpedi
cncy of building branch road connecting our
town with the New Orleans and Jackson road
will be held in Clinton on next Saturday the
18th inst Those who fell an interest in this
enterprise land all should) and the public
generally are invited to attend on that day
Books will be opened for taking stock, and all
the preliminaries gone through with that
that the work may be commenced in good car
nest
This enterprise is one which should address
itself very seriously TO the attention of our
citizens. The value of real estate in our par
ish, should this road be built will be increased
fouriold, and the multiplied advantages which
would otherwise result from its completion
are incalculable. In fact it is the only
means left by which this section of country
can successfully be built up. Then come UP
to cur town on Saturday next and we will
have talk about it and see what can be done
in thu premises.

Is it a Whig Tricka

Below we publish the call of some hundred
and forty Wings of Lafourche Interior, calling
on their brethren to assemble at meeting to
be held in their parish soon, for the purpose OF
organizing themselves into more perfect oppo-
sition to the Native American party.
The cry has long been that the new Order
is nothing more than Whig trick, gotten up
expressly to doon the Democracy; but now
the tune is changed, and the most violent of
the Anti American journals are found boasting
that we have the Wings to battle against as
well as the Democrats. We see the remnant
of both the old parties rallying and uniting to-
gether to present one solid phalanx against the
young giant
There never was and perhaps never will be,
in the history of our country, party whose
course has been so torturous and winding as
that of the Anti-American within the last six
months. Not position has been taken but
that has been abandoned-not an argument
have the members used against Native Ameri-
canism but that they have refuted themselves
by their subsequent acts. They have pursued
bee line in only one respect, and that is in
regard to the villification and abuse which they
have heaped upon their opponents.
Now tacking in this direction and now that,
they have tried every expedient, every misera-
BILE subterfuge which they could trump up
and their consistency has been in their ancon-
sistencies The charge that the new party was
a mere Wing trick, was perhaps the most vul-
nerable point upon which the Democrats who
had enlisted under Sam could be attacked.
But of their own accord the old fogy leaders
have flung this appeal to the four winds, and
boastingly point us to the fact that the Wings
are arrayed against us. Roll on-the ball is
in motion, and Sans powerful arm will keep
it moving:
The WHIGs OF LAFouRcHE.-From present
appearances Know Nothingism will receive but
lukewarm support from the greet Wing
stronghold of the State They are indignant
at being numbered with the hordes of the X.
Ms; indignant that candidates should be
thrust upon them without their consent or adj
vice, and especially and deeply indignant at
the attempt to force upon them set Of prin-
ciples and platforms revolving to their sense Of
right and their liberality.
The following call is signed by one hundred
and forty, all Wings with the exception Of five
or six. They are among the most influential
and respectable men in the South. The mean
ing of this movement requires no interpreta
| ton
The citizens of the parish of Lafourche, op
posed to Know Nothingism, are respectfully
invited to meet in Convention at the Cour
House, in the town Of Thibodaux, on Satur
day, the 18th of August 1855, at IL O'Clock
A. NJ, to organize and take such steps as may
be deemed necessary to render etfectual theil
opposition.

EAST IELIclANA, LOUISIANA,
August lst, 1865.
To the Grand High Priest, Officers and Hem
bers Of tie Secret, Dark Lantern Purity,
common1g ca17ed Know Nothings, sand tie
rest Of Nankind," and all others to rhom
these presents mag come, Greeting:
Know We, that after due deiberation, and a
great deal Of consideration, have concluded
to withdraw from your secret, dalk-lantern,
oath-bound Order, for the following reasons,
good and sufficient grounds for doing so.
1st. Because it is an open violation of the
Constitution of the United States. That sa-
cred instrument gives foreigners the right to
hold Office, consequently we have no right to
say that we prefer an American to a foreigner
for any position. AS long as the Constitution
says they may hold office, we are constitution
ally bound to give them preference over Ame-
ricans If you do not believe this, ask any of
the ant-Know-Not and they will tell you
am correct in views.
End. Because DR.. Bard-yes, DR.. Bard-no,
may be it is the Rev. NJ Bard-at all events,
it's the man the Old Fogies have on the track
as a candidate for Superintendent of Public
Education in this State, and the same one that
made speech here the other day. says that
they are nearly all aboltionists-th the great
Democratic party is the only party now worth
ad IN, (or something like that)-that no one
can belong to the masonic and Know Nothing
Order at the same time, consequently l con-
clude they are both political organizations,
Notwithstanding some Of the more iterate
amongst the masons say that such is not the
fact | have more confidence, however, in
the Dr. or the Rev. Bard than any of them.
Sd. Because whenever the Know Nothings
run good national man for Office, the Old Fo-
gies give up their own party and go over tc
: the Abolitionists. Look how they did in New
: York. Ullman was the Know Nothing candi
date for Governor, and good Southern man.
the Democrats all left their party and voted fol
Clark, the Abolitonist, or nearly all, for Bron
son only got about 5000 votes out of 50o
, ooo-and if they call Seymour their candidate
he only got, asncar as l recoect, about so, Oo(
and all of this is the result of the Know
Nothing Order-they say as soon as we draw
out from the Know Nothings they will draw
1 out from the Abolitionists
Hence, believing it "unequal and oppressiy,
in its operations" 81 therefore and hereb,
4 withdraw myseif from all further connectio,
