.Tbs heading of this. earsiole Is an old and
strite quotation, yet it means 3 sxeat deal, and
| possesses peculiar significance ct the present
iuncture Of political affairs in Louisiana. We
have frequently used itzbefore, and shall, no
ldonbt, do so on many future occasions. E
There are two parties in this State, fhe
American and the anti-American. fhe anti
american party alleges that their opponents are
hostile to foreigners, and that they are m
tolerant in their religious feelings SO fer,
tboveyer. as this latter allegation is concerned,
the acfs Of The Amerisans have proved that
nrseselv the contrary was the case, and the
iunfounded charge has recoiled crushingly upon
its authors
The ohargeof hostility to foreigners is equally
fili-Dunded. 1t has 40 real foundation in practi-
cal truth Solar as our knowledge extends and
tho anti American Organs say we are well posted
we know Of Mo hostility to adopted citizens,
emigrants, or unnafuralized residents. On the
contrary Tho riendliest sort Of feeling prevails
The Americans only wish to do, as every civil
lizea nation upon the face of the earth does,
I'd govern their own country. They freely offer
an asylum to the oppressed o.. all countries,

SENATORIAL NOMINATION.

on Monday last the American delegates for
| the parishes of West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee
and West Fe1ioiana, met in the town of Bayou
Sara for the purpose Of nominating candidate
| for the State Senate. Gel. Watson, of Pointe
Coupee, was called to the chair. and Eugene
Rsmondet, Of West Feiciana, appointed .secre-
Etery. The object Of the meeting was appropri-
ately explained by the chairman; after which
the name Of Col, II, W.s.Allen, Of West Baton
Rouge, was put In nomination, and upon count
ing the ballot, it was found he had received the
unanimous vote Of the Convention. g.
We regard the selection of Col. Allen as emf
nently iudicious He is just the man for the
times that are upon US. Popularin his manners,
energetic in his habits, and winning in his
deraeanor, he will bring strength to the ticket
and assist materially in rolling on the triumpha1
car of Americanism. - +.4.-. ,
In addition, Col. Allen will make one of the
| best legislators the State has ever had He
possesses a fine mind, which has been we'll Gull
tivated, and is, in all respects, champion wor-.
thy of the cause. He speaks well and forcibly,
and wherever he speaks he carries strong in
fiuenee with him. His hearers know that he is
honest and sincere in his views, patriotic in his
Intentions, and that he has no demagoguical
intentions of any description whatsoever to pro-
mote Here is the secret Of the powershe wields
wherever he goes.
After his nomination, Col Allen made few
brief remarks, the following synopsis Of which
we take from the Chronicle -g s.Fi'' =
He reviewed very briefly the platform of the American
party of onsana taking IL up section by section. and
good MATERIAL and that Ii WIS sound enough for all

opposition that the Amercanparty prescribed Catholics
He asserted that they prescribed for his religious

spoke Of prospects Of the party throughout the tat
that from all portions glad tidngs reached the in
OF strength The Colonel commented at some
length upon the course which was being pursued by the
opposition speakers who at present eanyassiDg the
State and remarked that their unqualified abuse IF the
American party and the opprobrioue phets which had
been applied to it, was working good to the Mr.
Allen stated that he should make it his duty during thu

We are glad to hear that Col. Allen is deter

POWDER MILL EXPLOSION AT WILMINGTON,
Del, -Philadeiphia, .dtgstst s, 1s55-Three
of dareche's powder mills, near Wilmington,
Delaware, exploded this morning, about s
O'Clock, with most disastrous consequences. six
persons having been killed and five wounded.
WILMINGTON, August 8, 1856. The driving
house of Gareches powder works, at Eden
Park, which exploded this morning, contain.
ed about one and half tons Oh powder, and
the force Of the explosion was tremendous,
The house had been in operation for forty years
without accident, and was considered the safest
house in the works. ALI the men connected
with its operations were killed at once, being
blown to atoms, and found at various distances,
from fifty to two hundred yards from the scene
of the disaster. Three of the killed were French
men, named Eugene Perene, Joseph Dec, Peane,
and Francis Fisher A boy named John Pugh
the drying house caused a mill, situated abeut
three hundred yards distant, also to explode
In this mill six men were dangerously hurt
One Of them, Peter MeGingley, was thrown a
distance of forty feet, and it il feared will not
recover, while Patrick Burk, who was running
.frem the mill, had his skull fractured nv a
piece Of lightning rod, and his recovery is also
doubtful, Thomas Mullen had his collar bone
broken. Mr.. Mitchell, the engineer, ESCAPED
with some slight bruises. There were about
fourteen hundred pounds Of powder in the mill,
which was less than usual The trees around
the drying house were torn up by the roots,
and one or two horses were killed. One other
man is said to, have been killed. but this seems
doubtful, Mr.. Gafeche says the explosion must
have been caused by one Of the Frenchmen,
who was addicted to smoking his pipe, although
he had been forbidden to do so. %,

From all we can learn from the Fourth Dis

party 70 be Of the most brilliant character. In
Tact the election of Mr.. Lewis may be set down
A. 9 fixed thing, SIS well as the general triumph
q the Americans throughout the Red River
country. The camp fires are blazing brightly
everywhere, and the American cause grows
stronger and stronger eaoh succeeding day
