AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF 40 EN-
TENARY COLLEG H."

NATcuEz, Miss, june 1886.
In 1915, the State of Louisiana, by nn act
of sale, conveyed to Trustees acting for the
Methodist Church. the entire property--con-
sisting of Buildings, Lands, Library, Appara-
tus, &C., of Louisiana College, located at Jack
son, La, for educational purposes. "Conte
nary College of Louisiana" was carried into
successful operation at once, and has gradually
gained upon the patronage and confidence OF
the public. The object of the Board OF Trus
tees is to furnish the means OF cdncatIon.--
Their rules of government are strict and eqult-
able, and the course Of study thorough. The
Faculty is composed of men Of high moral
worth and literary traning--ncn fully approy-
ed 10y us--and to whose guidance students may
be committed with the utmost confidence
We intend to deserve the patronage of the
public, and although the Institution is under
the immediate government Of the Methodist
Church. no means shall be used to thrust its
peculiarties Of doctrine or government upon
the Student. BY rule of the College, all
Students are required to attend some place of
worship on the Sabbath, but every Student
may enjoy his own preference.
In lS49, one of the two College buildings
intended as wings to the centre building now
occupied by Students, was destroyed by fire.
1t has been repaired at cost of $4,000 and
now the two wings afford accommodations for
about one hundred Students, several OF the
rooms being occupied as Recitation Rooms,
Society Halls, Libraries, &c.

DEMOcRATIC MEETING IN NEW ORIEASs.-The New
Orleans papers represent the Democratic NEE ting
held at Lafayette square, on Tuesday evening last,
as Of the largest political gathering that hats la
ken place in that city for several years. The Hon
YIN. Dunbar presided. On taking the cEair he adj
dressed the meeting in an able and eloquent man
ner and followed BY the Hon, Pierre soule, Mr..
Nlleri, the Democratic Eector for the first district
and Mr. I3lnlore.
The following resolutions were enthusiastically
adopted
Resoircd, That the Democracy of New Or
leans unanimously endorse the platform estab
lished by the Cincinnati Convention. They
regard the full recognition of the principles
therein set forth rs The only means by which
harmony can be restored between the States
Of this Union; and hail it as auspicious that
those principles were adopted with one heart
and one voice by the representatives of the
Democracy of every State, North and South.
Rewlued, That the Democratic party, by
discarding all sectional issues, by defining and
unfolding the rights OF the separate States,
and by asserting and supporting that which
the honor and safety of the whole demand in
its foreign relations, has entitled itself to be
called the only NATIONAL, CONSTITUTIONAL
PARTY.
Resolred, That the nomination OF James
Buchanan and John G. Breckenridge meets
with our hearty appreciation. That we have
full confidence in their pledges to maintain The
principles declared by tha pecty, and that we

What docs 1t Meant
Arc buchanan ~ Breckenridge elected

The daily Advocate, in its two last is
sues, contains no prospectus for Campaign
.Adpocate; Nor does this venerable guide of
the faithful any longer publish the late De-
mocrstic platform. What does this mean
II Is cardinal principle Of the Demo
cratic faith that; $ the constitution does
not confer upon the General Government
the power to commence and carry on a
general system Of internal provementg; p
and in obedience to this high behest, Frank
lin Fierce, vetoed the bill making appro-
priations for Improvements at the mouth
Of the Mississippi, and st. Mary's Rivers,
and at the st. Clair flats!
The Cincinnati platform commends the
exercise Of the veto power, and Congress
passes the bill over the vetol
Again, the Kansas Nebraska bill is the
chief feature the Cincinnati PLATFORM
Its Eureka of liberty is" Squater Severe
INDEPENDENTLY the" Wilmat provisoo
In the platform this principle is declared
to be the only sound solution of the slavery
question; while the Senate has ignored
Squatter Sovereignty.
Are these the reasons why the Daily Ad-
vocate is shorn of its glory? or are we to
attribute, to some other cause, this sad eff
fecte Perhaps Buchanan and Breckenridge
are already elected Or perhaps the Ad-
vocate intends repeating to them the war
