ELEcTioS in LouIs1ASA.--The large MAORI
ty given for MickiitIe, last fall, which amount.
ed To near three thousand, has induced us to
believe all a'eng that it was quite probable
that this State would go for Buchanan. BIT
recent developments indicate most certainly
thai a change has CONT over the spirit of oul
political dream, and that Louisiana will Ger.
talnly vote for Fillmore and Dope,son and
Native Americanism. NewOrleans will give
our party an overwhelming majority, of som,
1000 or 5000 votes, while the majority tor
l,erblgny was only some three hundred and
fifty. We are also assured that the parishes Of
Latourcfe interior, which gave maiori,ies
against the Native American party last fall
will give heavy majorities for the American
ticket.
The voters in these parishes we're humbugeed
into the support of Wicklitle by the ayowed
assertions made by the Sag Nieht d~emagosues
that Anerlcanism designed to persecate and
ostracise Catholicism. Now The fog has cleared
away, they all see clearly how they were tricked
out OF their votes, and are determined not tf
be abused in that manner again. Their first
and only true love is their country and her in.
situations, and they are flockins to her embrace
with a zeal and an earnestness that will tell in
the November election. [Clinton Patriot.

LOW SoFFEE GAME TO BE- UsEp.-It is
somewhat singular to trace the manner in
Which arose the use Of The common beverage
OF coffee, without which few if any half OF
wholly civilized country in the world, nov
make a breakfast. AT the time Columbus dis
covered America, it had never baen known or
used. 1T only grew in Arabia and Upper
Ethiopia. The discovery Of its use as a bev.
erage is ascribed to the superior of a monastery
in Arabia, who DESTROYS of preventing the
monks from sleeping at their nociernal services
made them drink the infusion of coffee upou
the report Of shepherds, who observed Tint
their fiocks were more lively after browsing on
the fruit OF that plant. Its reputation spread
through the adjacent countries, and in about
two hundred years it had reached Paris. a
single plant brought there in l7l4, became the
parent stock of all the French coffee plauta-
tons IN the West Indies. The Dutch Intro
tiNced 1t into Java and the East Indies, and the
French and spanish all over South America
and the West indies. The extent Of the con.
sumption can How hardly be realized. The
United States alone annually consume it Mt the
cost ON its landing Of from fifteen to sixteen
millions OF dollars. That Of tea is a little over
eight millions Of dollars. You may know the
Arabian or Mocha, the best coffee, by its small
bean Of u dark yellow color. The Java aud
East Indian, next in quality, are larger and of
paler yellow. The West Indian and Rio have
a blush OF greenish gray tint.

than whom you seemed to suppose there was
none greater, are supporting Buchanan. Pray,
tell US how and wherefore is it SO !? You used
to think Mr.. Fillmore not only competent to
stand at the helm Of government, but a safe
pilot for the South, for the North, for the
whole country. Have you discovered. any
hitherto unseen b!eniish in his character ?--has
the leopard changed his spots? Did you not
hear him lately, when he returned home from
his European tour, and found scctionalism
rampant, how, with tervid indignation, he de-
nounced the agitators and their reasonable
designs? How is it possible you could find it
III your heart to forsake him when he has taken
so bo'd a stand. forward Of any statesman of so
much prominence, in denunciation Of, and stern
opposition to, the distulbers Of the general
peace in hisfown region? You must admit he
occupies o position in which he appears the
same to the man North and to the man South.
Not so with Buchanan. 4Iad Mr.. Buchanan
uttered the burning, blistering words of rebuke
OF sectiunalism, that Mr.. Fillmore did at Al
bany and Rochester, do you think Martin Van
Buren,, Or his son, Prince John, or any of that

Fillmore for Buchanan? 2"

deserving most the high honor, and If there be
not true conservative men enough to save Mr..

his country faithfully at the bailot-box, who
departed from the strict line of his duty to
