WHAT We AhE ~ nOhh FOh!
That Pennsylvania will give overwhelming majority
for Mr. Buchanan next TuesdAy-that Mr. Buchanan will

if his life be spared until the 4th Of March-are unqueson
able facts Every person possessing the least intelligence
viii unhesiatingy admit all this be ncontrovertibe
No one viii venture deny except for political effect
keep up the spirits Of responding and ALREADY defeated
party
In view OF all this what is bounden duty Not
OF Us relax unremitting energies single nd
vdual who claims TO be democrat become sluggish
lukewarm Indifferent; member Of glorious party
afford to be idle and say the work il done the victory
il achieved can enjoy period Of repose after my

into modification and humiliation This can never be- |,
must not-it will not Not be spared from the
contest until the polls closed Tuesday night The

Their defeat must be signal crushing that they will

The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1856-03-15

Americans will have to meet the same enc.
my. If they unite upon one set of electors
in each Of the States, nearly, if not quite,
every Northern State, can be carried
against the Democratic party. If, on the
other hand, the Americans and Republic
ans run each an election ticket of their own,
the result may be, and probably will be,
an unparalleled Democratic triumph.
"The great aim we have in the Prcsiden-
tial election is, first, to beat the Democratic
party; and second, to elect a President
whose principles are opposed to the spread
of Slavery into free lands, and who will
give to the country liberal, yet conserva
tive administration of the Government
The first point embraces the second. We
must defeat the Democratic party. Upon
this, the opposition, North and South, Re-
publicans and Americans, agree; and as we
agree upon the essential, it would be
strange if we cannot agree upon things
which are collateral
"As the nominations of Fillmore and
Donaldson were made by the delegates from
the Southern States, we would suggest that
they give to them the best support they
can, and carry as many States for them as
possiblc-the more the better. In the
meantime the opposition in the Northern
States must be permitted to fight the Ad-
ministration forces IN their own way, and
under such leaders as they may please to
select, and upon such platform as they
may think proper to make BY pursuing
such line Of policy as this we could at
least prevent the election Of the Democrat
c candidates by the people, and thus throw
the election into the House. The present
House would have to choose, and, as there
is clear minority Of the States as repre-
sented in this Congress opposed to thu
Democratic party, an opposition candidate
would be elected President.

Mr.. Phillips from the committee on fed
eral relations to whom was referred q joint
resolution in relation to military works OF
defence at or near the mouths of the Missis-
sippi river reported the following substi
tute:
Whereas, from our peculiar relations
with the Government of Great Britain, in.
consequence of her claims and pretcnsions
in Central America, and in consideration
of the important and daily increasing com
MERGE of this country with Central America
with the states of South America, and tho
important interests of our Pacific coast,
prudence and due regard to these impor-
tant interests, demand the most prompt and
efficient action of Congress for their protec-
ton and security; be it therefore.
Resolved by the senate and house Of rep.
resentativcs of the state of Louisiana in
General Assembly convened, That our Scna
tors and Representatives in congress be, and
they are hereby requested, to use their best
effortsito have such laws enacted as may be
necessary for the defence and protection Of
our entire Gulf coast in this state.
On motion Of Mr.. Phillips, the rules were
suspended; it underwent its several read
ings, and the substitute was adopted.
