Ratification Meeting.

We are authorized to propose to the people OF
TbeTyille who&re friendly to the American cause
to hold a Meeting in tn town on the 18th April.
for the purpose of ratfying the nominati9aR.o of
FILLMORE and DoNE1soN. A.reguIar call willSbe
made next week or the weeg sfter. 1t is to be
hoped that it will be responded 70 enthusiastically
and that a large meeting will be present of gem
tlemen from all sections of the parish. 1t is per-
fectly futile for one or two or a dozen individuals
10 take an interest in a political election. The
Interest aud excitement must be general, whether
in parish or State, to effect any good. Unless
aided in our exertions, in our peculiar sphere, by
the spirited and concentrated action of the Ame-
rican party of the parish, their paper will be of
very little interest or use. This can be deter
mined by the manner in which the proposed Rat
~iication Meeting will be ATTENDED. If the par
ish is well represented-if the people who are
friendly to the American cause will obey the
call with that seriousness which it deserves to he
considered, and COME here en- masse, determined
to give vent to a bold and vigorous expression of
sentiment-then there may be grounds for a brill
liant if not a successful campaign in old TberviIle.
But if the contrary should appear-if the call
should pas by unnoticed or with Indifference,
then the true and ardet friends of the cause here
had as well keep their silence, and %ourself, to
chang our harp upon the willow But we hope
for better t~hings-and trust that we will have
the pleasure of announcing that the largest and
most enthusiastic ~nolifioaI meeting that was aver
held here occurred on the 18th of April.

The Bayou Sara Packets.

The Laurel Hill and C. D. Jr., are now the
only packets running regularly between New
Orleans and Bayou sara-the first commanded,
we believe, by Capt. Hooper and the last by
Capt, Gotten. We had the pleasure Of seeing
our old friend Capt. Landry a few days since.
and we were glad to hear of the success which
has attended his boats the past season. He at
tributes this mainly to the enterprise of running
the Laurel Hill three times a week-a bold one,
which could have been carried out successfully
by none other than thoroughly energetic men,
who well deserve the reward they have received.
These boats carry the mail, and most faithfully
have they performed their duty, as far as our
knowledge extends. .t

A Paris letter in the independence, of Brus-
sells, states that the municipal authorities of
Paris have already given orders for a magnif-
cent cradle to be got ready for the expected
infant of the Emperor and Empress. 1t will
surpass, it is said, in taste and exquisite work.
m~anship, the famous one presented to the
King of Rome. The following is a brief de-
s%cription of the work in question:
sit will be in the form of a boat, the princi.
pal emblem in the arms of the city of Paris
At the Prov will be a silver eagle with out
spread wings, and the curtains at the head will
be supported by an Imperial crown, also in sill
yer, held up by two children, one wearing a
helmet, and the other bearing ronnd its head
an olive branch, emblematic of peace. The
body of the cradle stands on two columns, one
at the head and the other at the foot, and uni-
ted by a rail beneath. The columns will be of
rosewood, beautifully carved and ornamented
with foliage in silver. The upper edge of the
cradle will have a border of silver flagree work
having on either side, about the middle, small
escutcheons in silver, bearing the initials of
their majesties. From those medallions, gar.
lands of flowers of silver will lead to the foot
and head of the cradle. The curtains will be
of point d'Alencon lace and blue silk embroider~
ed in gold. The composition, direction and
superintendent of this beautiful piece of
workmanship has been confided to n. Ballard,
the architect of the city of Paris"

UWe perceive that Mr.. H. c. S~TANARD, for
merly of the Louisiana Chronicle, has become
sole proprietor and editor of the Franklin Ban
ner, in the parish of st. Mary. The Banner was
formerly a Wing paper, but refused to adhere to
the American organization. We presume this
has had something to do with the change. The
valedictory Of its former proprietor, Mr.. JoHN-,
SON, is feeling aud appropriate. It is evident that
he relinquishes the post he has so long and ably
filled for the purpose of securing that peace of
mind which he finds it impossible to obtain in
the exciting and ihankless career ia which his lot
has hitherto been cast, We wish him every hap
piness in his future which is SO justly the rewart
of an upright and conscientious mind. The pa
per viii hereafter be called the Franklin Journal.
The new editor, in his address to the public, says.
Cherished as the principles of the American
party are by Us. those principles will receive
our unfinehing support, and it is our design to
make the Journal the vehicle for their success
and advancement

NAILS IN THE SToMAcHs OF CATTLE.-The
following curious fact is published in The
Homestead, by Samuel w. Bartlett, of East
Windsor, Connecticut:
"In the fall of 1854 | saw a stock of cattle,
about twenty-five in number, on the farm of
Mr.. Hezekian Bissell, of this town, which were
in fine condition, and every animal a grade
Durham. About mid winter following, | saw
the same in a very low condition, looking rus
ty, not"Iike The same animals, although. they
had been kept in the usual manner, having
been bred on the farm. In the latter part of
the winter two Of them that had been fed for
beef slaughtered, and the canse of their
non.thrift. was very apparent; their s'omachs
were found TO contain nearly a pint of rusty
Shing1e nails! The truth flashed upon the
minds Of all kn"wing the facts. q
s"Mr. BisseIl had re-shingled his barns after
they weresflled with hay; the old nails, falling
through thgkroof into the hay, passed, with the
bay, into thesstomachs Of the cattle, and they
have not yet recovered their former condition.
ut may be we'll for all to be somewhat eau
tious in such matters, knowing the above facts"

rWe have received a long and tolerably
well written letter from an anonymous cores
pondent in New Orleans, who signs himself "Ib-
erville ~Junius," but We are forced TO decline pub
fishing it for several reasons. 1st. The writer
says at the bottom "Confdential"--which gives
us to understand that he would wish his letter to
be kept from all eyes ~exceptour own. I'd. The
name of the writer is not given. Sd. It is too
lengthy 18th. 1t moralizes too much a cores
pondent should stick to facts, and comment as
little as possible. If "IberviIle Junius' will make
the above corrections, we will always be glad to
hear from him.

Treasurer Gifsn-The city of New Or
leans, says the Bulletin, has good reasons to
fIicitate itself upon the election of this gentle
man as its Treasurer. He is not only abunda
antIy capable to discharge the duties of the
Office, but be maintains an unimpeachable repu-
tation as a true and honest man. We heard a
high compliment paid to his integrity and capa-
city yesterday, by a gentleman of opposite
politics, and who deservedly stands high in the
estimation of. his party. He told us he would
use his influence to have the salary of Treasurer
raised no four thousand dollars, and exercise
Tch4influence further with his party, to secure
the election Of Mr.. G1FFEN as permanssant
Treasurer. This is..a merited tribute to the
of an unoytentatious citizen who has
won the,public esteem and confidence by his
uprighkcourse of life; and the ability and fidelity
with which he has discharged his duties as a
member of Council.

Poetry Soldering Down.-I'm thinking of
the time, Kate, when sitting by thy side, and
Smelling beans l gazed on thee, andfe a won
drous pride. In silence leaned we DER the pan
and neither spoke a word, but the rafting of
the beans, Kate, was all the sound we heard.
Thy auburn curls hung down, Kate, and kissed
thy lilly cheeks, thy azure eyes half filled with
tears, bespoke a spirit meek. To be charmed
as | was then, ne'er before occurred, when the
rafting of the beans, Kate, was all the sound |
heard. thought it was not wrong, Kate, so
leaning DER the dish, as you snatched up a lot
of beans, | snached a nectared kiss. And a
sudden shower made my eyes blind, | neither
saw nor stirred, but the rattIing of the beans,
Kate; was all the sound ! heard.

A pleasant exception to this disagreeable ne

in so doing we in no wise lend ourselves to de-

indisputable proof that his words are strictly
true, with abundant reasons to believe that his

The Greaf Question in ls56.-fbe great
question in the coming contest, says the New

man wilFbe elected President; not whether the
Democrats, the Niger W~orshippers, or the
Know~Notbings will succeed but it Isl wider
and more important question than either of
these 1t is what party, movement or series
Of measures will best preserve the constitution
and the Union; and advance the solid interests
of the country. That party which will develop
the resources Of the country, give Us a sound
and strong foreign policy, and administer the
government in accordance with the ideas ofits
founders. is the only true American party.

The NAN ana the HORSE.

Our city was visited last week by a gentle
man who processes to learn one how to stalk
Horse'-a language he insists that was lost at
the destruction Of the Tower of Babel. AS
to distinguish his profession we presume, he
wears on the lappel Of his coat the daguerreo-
type Of a horse rampant. When be reached
here, he sprang from the boat with drum
around his neck, and forthwith marched to a
Livery Stable to the tune of "Soap Suds Over
the Fence" Here he procured a horse, and
having whispered to him a few words Of the
destroyed language allnded to, which he alone
understands as he says, he started off, the horse
following the man to the tap Of the drum, and
turning as he turned, apparently at the word
of command. Several horses were made to
perform the same ceremony. But the stories
of what be could make a horse do, if he wants
ed to, are wonderful. He's an odd genius, TO
say the least, but we fear be cannot be appre-
eiated properly among enmmon sense people.
