THE CHARGE REPEArED.-R Read Read A day or
ago SAWS the New Orleans Bee. Published a state
New Orleans Creole the effect that Gov
Wickhe OF La, had openly declared in the presence
Col Dick Stewart that he approved OF the sentiment
pressed by Mr.. Brcckinge at the Tppecanoe meeting
aud like him, belonged u party that desired the
tension OF slavery. The avowa seemed TO extraor
nary the part OF the Executive OF Louisiana: well
calculated give aid and comfort TO the antavery par
OF the North and produce encouragement and dis
affection amorg the Governors party in the South
that spite OF the high authority OF Col Stewards name
considered that such charge should he made specih
cily and in writing We perceive that the editors of the
Oeta-a journal which, however cold in its support of
Buchanan is very decidedly against Flmorerepeats the
lccu-aon and susnns il by the strong evidence of "a
gentleman Of prominence in the community" who autho
rizcs the publication of his name If necessary. Here is
the srticle from the Delta:
GOV. wiCKLIFFE AND J. c. BRECKENRIDGE.
We have been Informed hy gentleman OF prominence
in the communy-a Southerner OF enthusiasm and tai.
eut-~ho fully authorizes TO publish the name, if
csary, that Gov. Wicklhe has rreyocably committed
himself the position the slavery question assumed
by Mr. Breekinridge in his famous nppaeanoe Grafton
The gentleman EhOm refer pumply asked the Co
vernon lac and the branch OF the party To which he be
onged favor of the extension OF slavery. which
Mr.. Wickle replied by decisive negative The extract
from Mr.. Breckinridges Hppecanoe speech, published IN
the Delta sometime ago in which that very young man
declared that the Democratic party was not opposed TO- or
IN favor Of the extension slavery, then read Mr..
Mickle announced his adhesion TO the principle OF neu
uaty euunciaed by the aspiring Vice Presidential can
ddae Of Kentucky. We have already shown conclusive
that this position OF called neutrality is virtually po
son antagon,s To the South and it is unnecessary Io
| repeat arguments TO that effect.

Is il indeed come this, that here in Louisiana-an

Wickiie gives his exalted official sanction heresa
which Southern Democrats, gnd Southern Americans
Wings should Ike denounce. We call upon the part
which placed the present Executive OF Louisiana ~ hi
office call upon the Buchanan Democrats OF Stat
To ray whether they are disposed remain quiet
iy under the stgma OF cheIisbing sentiment

Of the South? Are the Democrats Of Louisiaiu

extension of siarery; that they do not desTe tie fHrts

and paIder the dominant Freesol sentiment ol th
NORTH and sacrifice ruthlessly the constitutional rights
the South TO- The sordid purpose o assisting Nj b.
cbanan's Freeso cohorts of the soTih. We DO b,
Ieye it. We certain that a vast majority Of th
Democratic shareholders Of Louisiana would e,
perience hundred political defeats than surrender h
very question at ssue between the North and the Souti
We are firmly convinced that the declaration of VI
breckenridge, coupled with the approval and endorse
Of GOV. Wickle, of Louisiana will repo thousand
Of them from supporting any longer party which thu
Detrays aud oft the South.
