GLORIOUS NEWS FROM rHa NORTHWEST.


We clip the following article ftom the Bastrop
(Moreheuse Parish) Advocate of the 10Th inst,
and we are free to say that we do not know of a
more reliable paper in the interior The news
1t gives is, indeed, soai-eheering, and should
stimulate the Americans in the southern portion
of the state to renewed and vigorous exertion.
1t also couhrms private advices we have from
the north and north west Ia the Third District
Col Pond will beat Davidson badly This is
settled beyond peradventure and nothing re-.

The AMERICAN PARTY IN MADISON. For the
| information of our friends n other parishes, we
can announce to them with certainty that Mad
| ison parish is all right; she will give m.jor-
| ity for the American State ticket Of from eighty
to one hundred votes. This will be doing re-
markably we'll in a parish where six months
ago some of our opponents boldly asserte' that
we could not elect a constable In 1888, when
| the parties we're Whig and Democrat, the aver
| age majority for the Democratic State candi-
dates was about forty votes, while the ajsrity
for Perkins over Pond was eighty four Now
/ Ponds majority over Davidson will not be less
| than eighty Judging from the present signs
| of the times, we think Mr., Davidsons chance
for getting to Congress is rather a bad one.
/ We are informed by o gentleman fro Carroll,
! who is himself an Anti, that the American
ticket will run ahead in that parish, where Per-
4 kins also received majority over Pond in 1858.
/ In the parishes of Iensts, Cohcordia and Cata-
/ hoala, the change in favor of Pond ns compared
i with his vote of 1858 against Perkins, will be
much greater thanin Madison in Tensas alone,
| where Perkins received ma jority, he will beat
Davidson from one hundred and fifty to two hun
