Where killing cares are seldom found.
Where peace aud plenty most abound,
And friends are ne'sr forgot.

But rost and sweet content

Lie down in ahates.or feed in droves,
Conscious that God ia there

The Opelousas patriot. [volume] (Opelousas, Parish of St. Landry, La.) 1855-1863, 1856-02-16

Nv there the provisions Of the law, and the only
law upon The subject iof elections, that now
theslaw 81 1865, are strictly pursued,
Inv no possibility can any question arise, er
parte testimony. For the reason, hat the wit
-resses. and documents relating to the subject,
are to be brought before the House in which
the contestation arises, and there examined.
This is too plain for controversy, except Where
party ends and purposes are to be subserVed,
and then, from the short experience we nave
had during this session, no restraints Oh CONSUL
tuition or law will be regarded.
Mr.. Duperier spoke after Mr.. Semmes, ana
as we are in hopes we may be enabled to re-
port his speech we will not attempt even q
synopsis.
Mr.. CAN'T, Of the Parish Of st. Landry, hay
ing become, by this time considerably r'tea,
rose in his place and commenced an harangne.
In the course Of that gentleman's remarks ne
stated that he had been o Wing. We felt III
dignant, for if there is one thing more than
another that we cherish with pride, it is the
memory of the Old Wing Party. And when
the gentleman announced the fact, that he had
been d member Of that noble and patriotic
party, we felt as if he had spoken disrespect-
fully of one of our parents. But after some
little reflection, we reconciled ourselves to this
most unexpected announcement by thinking
the gentleman had only mistaken his position,
and that if he ever was a Wing, it was through
mistake. He is, beyond a doubt, now in his
right place.
The gentleman became very considerably ex-
cited, and he would nLnc at time brandish his
clenched fist, as if he were striking at something
shadowy before him. Certain it is he had
nothing substantial to go upon. Not knowing
precisely what to say, he would anon cry out
" blood and murder" and as all wild beasts are
greatly excited at the sight and smell Of blood,
he would roar then like a Bengal tiger. He
talked about men coming upon that floor NTH
blood stained feet.
Col. Lumsden rose to know if he made any
%allusion to him-O, No! Mr.. Locoul was IN
stantly upon his feet, then you mean us.
o, No? DR.. Dnperier is on his feet-"had he
any ~allusion to him" o, No! and it turned
out that really the gentleman did rot allude to
any one-unless indeed he made the mental
reservation of the carpet, and in contemplating
his phiz we were quickly impressed that in all
his transactions, the gentleman is eminently
addicted TO mental reservations.
Col. Lumsden rose and spoke in a courteous
and digniied manner, in reference to, his own
seat.
Mr.. Alexander followed-this young gentle
mans star Of promise has risen above the hori-
zon with steady beam. Hisremarks were forci-
bic, eloquent, logical and irresistible. He was
listened to with marked attention. AS we will
endeavor to report it, we will, at present, say
no more. The public will be able to Judge d
its worth when they read it. Baton Rouge
Gazette. February 2.
