JacksOn's Farewell address.

On retiring from the Presidency, at the
close cf hs second term, followed in his
withdrawal from palblic life, BY the blessing
of the whole confederacy, General jack
son issued his celebrated udiress to the
American people. This document, aitho'
NOT so generally read and appreciated as
Washipgton's Farewell address, is remark
able for Ifs high and patriotic sentiments,
and shoald be familiar TO every American
citizen.

spleudid success, the dangers Of which be
warned US are becamine every day more
! evident, and the signs Of evilare sufhcicnt-
ly apparent to awaken the deepest anxiety
in the boson of every patriot. We behold
systematic efforts publicly made to SOW the
seeds of discord between different parts Of
the United States, and TO place party dis
sentions directly upon geographical distinc-
,ions, to excite tie South against the North
and the North against the South, and to
force iBto the controversy the most delicate
aud exciting topics upon which ii is impos-
sible that a large portion of tie ULion can
speak without strong emotions. Appeals
too, are constantly made to sectional inter
esis in order to influence the election Of
Chief Magistrate. as if it were desired he
should favor a particular quarter Of the
country instead of fulfilling the duties of
his station with impartial justice to all; aud
the possible dissolution of the Union has at
at length become an ordinary and familiar

ANOTHER SWINDLE.

The Locofocos are a: the old game of
false pretenco again. In 1911 Mr. Polk
was better tariff man than Mr.. Clay. In
80 Pierce was the Union candidate, aud
now we see the country on the very brink Of
dlsunion, at least 50 far as such traitors as
Pierce, Douglas & Co., could DIVE it. The
new dodge is that Mr. Buchanan is opposed
to slavery. The Lccotoeo orators, wherever
it can be ayowed with safety, proclaim this
black lie. Read the Cincinnati Platform
which be not only endorsed but swallow ed,
and if he is not pledged to Atkinson and
the Border Rufians VIC viii say then, like
Talleyrand, that Language S used to con-
eeai our intentions" Some OF our Loco
foco orators in la IRIS burg have been tyying
to humbug the honest citizens of this
county by such assertions shich they k now
to he false. We dare Col. Forney TO say in
his address. to the people that Mr.. Isuchan-
au is opposed to slavery If he does VIC viii
agree to put the Buehaaan flag up and work
all ne can. fer llsa. The South wenld dep.
him like hot coal, and 'alas poor Yorick,'
where could he look for his support? The
swinlle is too barefaced aud outra gecus to
be successful, and we arc surprised to find
respectable men willing to disgrace them
selves by dealing in such bogus coin. We
trust this will be sufficient warning for the
people against another Locofoco swim die.
FRIENDS OF CLAY,--EEMEMBEK 1911.
-THE BLoopT llANp.-Who of you that

of 1914, thnt 10 not remember that when
Dir. Clay was candidate for the Presiden-
ey in 1914, James Buchanan and Gov Big
Ter stu,nped the State Of Pennsylvania in
company making Democratic speeches -
Whatever they spoke, Bigler repeated the
stale and oft rcfuted slander which Mr.. Bu-
chanan had stated against Mr. Clay and Bu-
chanan heard it and was silent. They both
stood under a hammer with bloody hand
painted upon it. Upon this banner we're
inscribed the words: ''lIenry Clay, the muir
derer of the lamented Cilly'' Aud the
Democratic party have now the unblushing
impudence and are constantly guilty OF the
unpardoGable efftontery of appealing to cid
Clay Wings TO support james Bachanan--

ST.. CHARLES TnEATER.-Last evening Mr.. Collins,
the Irish comedian and vocalist, had benefit at the
st. Charles Theater, when the Irish drama entitled
" King O'NeiI,' the comedy of the Irish Genius"
and the musical farce of the Swiss Cottage were per-
formed. The house was well filed in every part and
the actor and acting both received much applause.
The pieces played consisted of the drama entitled
King O'Neil'' in which Mr.. Collins, the hero, sus-
tanned the part of Captain O'NeH. The story is a
brief one: Captain ONeil, Irshnan, with all the
traits of his countrymen, including whisky drinking in
high perfection joins the French army In one of
his tpsy moods he is, at the Kings order, mised to
believe that he is indeed the monarch. In that char
acter he conducts himself right royalty honors true
merit, and gives lustre to the position. When
shown that his nobility is fiction, he leaves it with
high and noble manner-royal even in his plumbers
and folles by virtue of his royal ntents and noble
heart
The subsidiary incidents that work to the denoue-
ment well contrived and some of the characters
are admirably and artistcaly drawn. Such is Louis
Fifteenth played by Mr.. Study and very eminently
SO is General Count Dillon, supported by Mr.. Mark
Smith.
Following the drama, new comedy, called g Irish
| Genius" was performed, in which Mr.. Collins APP
peared as PheLim Fita Rocket with Wright as
44dolphus IVarinkles, poet and Mrs. Booth, as a
Widow. The story embraces great deal of the ,Ter-
envy Didder philosophy, and is, taken as a whole,
very funny and amusing Mr. Collins as Phcline Fits
Rocket genuine genius in his special sphere and
won the applause of the audience.
The amusements closed with the musical farce called
the " Swiss Cottage with Miss Mccarthy as Liectte
Bowers as Nats Teit and Dufiield as Corporal Mar.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Collins appears again
this evening.

New Orleans and Baton Rouge Railroad.

We understand q bill will lie brought before the
Senate during the early portion of next week, to III
corporate the g New Orleans and Baton Rouge Rail
road, and to provide for subscription, On the part
of the State to oncfth of the capital stock estimated
to be necessary for its construction This subscrip-
ton will be similar, in all respects, to the subscrp
ton by the State to the New Orleans and Great
Northern, Opelorsas and Great Western, and ycks-
burg and Shreveport roads. Consequently, no new
principle is involved and the proposed aid would
only be carrying out the noble system of internal inn
provements auspciously inaugurated several years
since The ewralroad project is besides as worthy

fore received it,

would take scventy-five or one hundred thousand
