The meeting will be addressed by George
Eustis, Jr., Amerisan candidate for Congress in
the First District, who, we are fully prepared
to endorse land thatis thing we seldom do
will make . powerful and eloquent effort
Should he be elected. Of which there is scarcely
the shadow Of shade Of q doubt, we oonf-
IDENTIFY predict he win prove one Of the most val
liable representatives the First District has ever
had. Col. r. A. Stewart will also address the
people. He is one Of the mest effective stump
speakers We ever listened to, and never fails to
make . favorable impression upon his audience.
Other gentlemen will also deliver addresses;
and, altogether, the affair promises to be- the
most brilliant and enthusiastic of the season.
We understand that the eloquent CAPT. Chas.
D. Dreux has returned to town, after bro.
tracted and brilliant campaign, which has been
fraught with the happiest results. He ought to
be on hand to tell the good news, if nothing else

Claiborne you know has always been the stronghold

at Houma, in the parish Of Terrebonne, on the
18th inst, says the Thibodaux Minerva, 60 some
eighty:odd good and true Americans came for
ward and gave in their adhesion, and now be-
long to SAINTS army, and stand ready in Novem-
Der next to testify their adhesion to the cause
by depositing their votes in favor Of the candi-
dates Of tho American State ticket.s
Now here is something to brag over, If the
Americans ever condescsnded to brag. Here is
an accession of strength which ovsrbalances the
Withdrawals for q month from the American
party, about which the Antics have been shout
ing themselves hoarse. And all accomplished
in one day atthatl
When such results follow the efforts Of our
own speakers, and when Messrs. Wiokliffa and
Noise are making proselytes for us everywhere
they address the people, we certainly may be
permitted to express our satisfaction in regard
to the prospects before US. They are bright in
deed; and with strong, united effort, we will
be enabled to carry the State in November by
majority of thousands.
