business going on yesterday. The eYee continues
to be- greatly crowded Several boats arrived yester
\ day. from the West and Arkansas, Yazoo and Red
rivers 1t will be observed, / some Of them brought
only half loads Of cotton; but that immense load Of
537T bales, from Memphis, by tile ii. R. Hill, was
sufficient To make up any deficiency from other sec

cargoes Of which amount to ,67S bales, have al.

dealers III cotton, if they could ascertain how many
more such loads are to be received here this spring
\ though ne observe q paragraph in q Memphis papel

anything encouraging of the character Of the Allan

market 50 favorable as the published accounts.
we learn sales were effected to some considerable e
tent in onr market yesterday. Western produce
meets with ready sales on the Ieyee. The demand
for Red river Texas and Georgia, does not appear to
fall off from Alabama there is slight decline in the
demand. The packets for Montgomery and We
tnmpka continue to go with full loads. All other
markets say tile Sabine river, Arkansas Apalachicola
and Newport Fa are receiving their full supplies, to
q a much larger extent than in former years. The
times are good in New Orleans, generally speaking.

OHIO SOUND!

For" year past the Black Republi-
cans have been laboring to control, by
the most dobascd means, the American
State Council of Ohio; and they had
even secured President of their kin,
and at the late session endeavored to
'repudlate the nominations of Fillmore
& Donelson. This was too much for
" SAM!' of course. The simon pure
Americans withdrew at once, and sent
a messenger to President Bartlett, of
the National Council stating the facts.
He immediately revoked the charter of
the old Council, and granted new
one to the genuine Americans. 90!
what fall was there my countrymen.
Black Republicanism shorn at one fell
blow of its power to injure in Ohio, and
fioored ingloriously where it had hoped
to Triumph Glorious Ohio--sound,
conservative Ohio! she has laid the
axe at the root of sectionalism, and has
put her foot upon the neck Of the in
glorious Black Republican hobgoblin |!
That's the way to do it. Let us have
no compromise with sectionalism under
our glorious National banner.

ZION. James Duohanan's Opinion Of
... Foreign InRuence.

The following extract is from an ora
ton Of Hon. James Buchanan on the
4th of July, 1915, in the city Of Lam
caster, Pa, and as the sentiment was
good then when foreign immigration
was but a drop in the bucket compared
with its present hundreds Of thousands,
it is none the worse for age. 1t is as
tonishing how anti-American locofoco-
ism can repudiate the sound and gcnu-
inc Democratic doctrines of past years,
and league itself to foreigners, while
it claims the name Of Democracy:
~" Above all we ought to drive from
our shores Foreign influence and cher
ish an American feeling. Foreign in
6ucnce has been in every age the curse
Of Rcpublics---its iaundiced eye has
everything in false colors. The thick
atmosphere Of prejudice by which it is
ever surrounded, excluding from its
sight the light Of reason"

$rownlcw on the Virginia Demo-
cratic Convention,

of the late Virginia Democratic State
Convention in Richmond: .r

Enquirer, "the grand high priest of
the Know-Nothings of Tennessee" and
therefore authority to the brethren
in Virginia." Now, l did report, and
| now repeat the report, that | called
in at the sitting Of the Democratic
State Convention, in the African church
in Richmond, where l remained until
late hour. [ report that of the six
hundred delegates present, not less
than one-thir8 of the number were eli
thor drunk, or under the influence of
ardent spirits--I report that twas the
most rufian-liko and disorderly assem-
bly, ever was in; that the editor of a
Lynchburg Democratic paper put in
nomination Hunter for the Presidency,
and swore by Cd, in public speech,
that he was ready for the contest!-
Something like ono-third of the delcga-
ton Kissed him; whereupon he id
them, and said if they we're accustomed
to wear broad cloth coats, and clean
shirts, and had never been convicted
of penitontiary offences, and would
give him their names, he would settle
with them on the coming day, by the
rules governing honorable mcn!*
Governor Floyd, who made the only
sensible and sober remarks I heard,
stated that gentlemen need not make
light Of the Know Nothing nominees
at Philadelphia; that party had nomi-
mated man both popular and conserv-
atiye, who thousands would delight to
honor, and to beat him, even in the Old
Dominion, the Democracy would have
to work like beavers.

cursed pens and lips, lied away the life
Of both Henry Clay and the Wing
party ?" d. -,
Since the Locofoco press and leaders
have taken upon themselves the task of
praising Henry Clay and the Wings,
we have thought proper to refer back
to our old Locofoco files of 1914, (they
require airing about twice year any
how to see what they said and sung
then. We find, among other equally
obscene publications, the following base
representation Of HENRY CLAY
hung IN cGgy! This product of innate
hocofoco malice appeared originally in
the Illinois State Register, of Aug. IS,
1914, and was copied, endorsed and
widely circulated by the Locofoco press
in every section of the country:

Why, now, have the haters and tn:
slandcrers of Clay and the Wings so
widely changed their tune? Because
the old Democratic party--haying a.
bandoncd the policy of Jefferson and
Jackson--is misunderstanding like q
wrecked ship at sea, weighed down in
troubled water by its hungry hordes Of
corrupt Office seekers, to whose guar
dianship the wreck has been left by
the patriotic Of the old party, who arc
standing fast to principle rather than
mere organization with nothing but the
name Democracy to commend it. Re-
duccd in numbers and efficiency to q
mere spoils-sccking organization, the
lcechcs Of anti-Amcrican locofocoism
arc seeking as last resort to caiolo
Wings into the support Of such men as
Frank. Pierce, Of New Hampshire, by
barney such as they use upon the fresh
ly arrived emigrant on election day
Such bascnoss, falsohood, double deal
ing and honey-fuggling is certainly too
low-liycd and transparent, with which
to catch conscientious Union-loving
Wings" and betray them into a party
fold whose rank disunion agitation has
shaken our very Union to its centre.
10 the men of all parties, tired of anti
American locofoco misrulc, misreprc-
sentation and trickery, we commend
the American platform Of principles,
with FILLMORE & DoNELsoN standing
erect thereon as q bond Of Union and
brotherhood in q troublous time, and
as giving that pcrpctuity to American
institutions, and to the Union Of the
States, which was the paramount desire
and constituted the earnest aspirations
Of Washington, Jackson, Jefferson,
Webster and Clay.

Famine among tie Ldians.-Tho
st. Paul Democrat says that there is
much suffering among the Indians of
Minnesota, especially among the. Yank-
tons of the Missouri. Owing to their
proximity to the bclligeront Sioux Of
the Missouri, the Government saw pro-
per to interdict the trade in guns or
ammunition with them last fall as a
consequence they were thrown back
upon the primitive means of procuring
game by the bow and arrow. Buffalo
being scarce near tho Missouri last fall,
they came over to the James River,
hoping to find subsistence for the win
ter, but it appears they were sadly dis
appointed, and the failure of buffalo in
the winter, when travelling was i'm
possible, has subjected them to all the
horrors of famine and exposure to the
inclemency of severe winter weather.

Whereas, The Old Line Wings of NewYork
have in mass meeting duly considered their po-

to the country in the present crisis, and have
candialy examined also the merits of the three
Presidential candidates now before the people,
and the probable consequences of the election
of either therefore,
ReS0lpel, That we can not support Mr.. Blu
chanau, because we believe that an administra-
ton established upon the Cincinnati platform
will ~perpetuate internal agitation and endan-
ger our amicahlc relations with foreign powers.
Rssoirei, That VIC will oppose to the utmost
extent OF our ability the election Of Mr.. Ere
mont, believing that he is not qualified for the
Presidency of this Union. We firmly believe
his election would increase the internal strife.
the party he represents being in spirit sec
tioual, and inevitably tending to disunion.
Rcsolred, That in the election of Willard
Fillmore VIC lind u sure guarantee that domes-
tic agitation will be quelled. harmony between
the States restored, peace with foreign nations
secured, and the interests Of agriculture, COM
mcrce and manufactures promoted, and there
fore we will labor unitedly and earnestly for
his election.

American Meeting.

In compliance with a call previously made,
the members Of the Fillmore Club Of our Par
ish convened at this place last Saturday, for
the election of a Central Executive Committee.
The meeting was called to order by j. w.
Walker, Esq. who proposed that Dir. W. B.
Wood be requested to act as Chairman, which
motion having been seconded, that gentleman
was unanimously chosen as the presiding officer
for the occasion.
Whcreupon, it was moved that the Chair
man appoint a committee of three to retire and
select out OF the whole number of the " Club ~
such persons as they might think fit, to serve
as the permanent "Central Executive Com
mittee Of the Fillmore Club of the Parish of
st. Mary"
Said committee of three in due time reported
the following named persons, whom they re-
commended to the meeting for said Central
Executive Committee, to wit: w. Il. Half
leigh, III. G. Wilson, Jos. V. Fourmy, JOS. Il.
kHawkins. DIR. w. q. Wood, j. W. Walker,
W. T. Palfrey, Jr., j. L. CowaD, j. q. Par
kerson and Watson Mckerall.
NJ The meeting having approved of the selec-
ton made by the Committee. the aforesaid
gentlemen were chosen as the Central EXecu-
tive Committee.
Tho Hon. John +. King being by mere
chance present, the meeting loudly called upon
him for all oifhand speech when that gentle
man came forward and made one Of the most
sensible aud argnmentative stump speeches we
have ever listened to, though he was evidently
unprepared for the discharge Of such u duty
not having had any notice of the demand
that his political friends would make upon him
until an hour or so before the meeting took
place. Mir. King is certainly one Of our best
public speakers, and he may feel well assured
that his speech was well thought of by all who
heard it, and that it will no doubt be long re-
~memhcrcd by them with pleasure. We trust
that we shall have the satisfaction of hearing
this eloquent champion of our cause again be,
fore the close Of the canvass, when there will
be a much larger gathering of our people tc
listen to this able advocate of the principles
and policy Of the American party. Franklin

One vote in the United States Senate nm
nexcd Texas to the United States. Mr.. Han
of Indiana, cast thnt vote. Ono vote
in The Indiana Legislature elected Mr.. Hannc-
gan to his place in the Senate. That vote
was cast by Madison Marsh, of Stanton co.
Mr.. Marsh was chosen to the Legislature of
Indiana by one vote.
The above paragraph is going the rounds,
dispatched on the mission Of demonstrating the
awful Importance Of one rme. Suppose this
one vote, or rather, this string of single votes,
had been given the other way, would it not
have been equally important-cqually suggest
i've? Would any body have thought of say
ing" One vote did MT do this or that?
But suppose this one vote had not been
given at all and suppose Texas had been an
neNcd any how. This latter case is more than
simply supposablc it was Il certainty. Then
we probably should not have seen so absurd Il
paragraph so extensively circulated.
