slavery onslaught. The unsound members of
the opposition will affiliate with Abolitionism:
the sound will waive insignificant issues and
enlist in the ranks of Democracy. Indeed,
this process of dissolution and separation is al"
ready begun in Tennessee, where an irrepara~
bic breach is announced between the South~
ern and Northern factions of the "Americau'
party. Etheridge is endorsed and supported,
while ZolIicoffer is set aside for some more
serviceable ally of Black Republieanism. So
will it be in this State and throughout the
whole Sonth-the best and truest spirits of
the opposition will unite with the Democracy,
while the unclean elements will seek shelter
under the wing of Black Republicanism.
We have proceeded far enough upon this
subject. We are satisfied in showing that we
do not stand alone in the opinions expressed
in December Iast-but that we are seconded
or upheld by the highest authority in the Uni-
on. We shall continue to impress upon our
readers the important responsibility that will
weigh upon them at the next Presidential elecA
ton,

The Mayor e

In the election Of our contemporary, it is at
least some acknowledgment of respect for the
press, and the Indebtedness of a party for its
influence or the labors of the editor--and
surely no party of any locality has ever re-
warded its editor in such a princely style as
the Democratic party of this parish has reward
ed its editor--and this last act is the browning
wreath denoting their high satisfaction. Ask
not "what has he done 2" but, "what has he
not done 2" We bow our insignificant head
before services such as he has rendered and
for which he has been 80 honorably rewarded
by his party. For making a good Mayor, he
has several shining qualities. He is unques-
tionably a "fast man" and in case of creyasses
or caves, which sometimes happen here, a fast
man as Mayor would be much needed; he has
also acted in almost every capacity in the mu-
nicipal affairs of the town, and must be well
acquainted with the duties of its chief officer.
With these qualities, then, coupled with the
ease, grace, and democracy Of his manners,
which guarantee the confidential approach Of
the bumblest citizen, and last, though not least
bis thorough knowledge of our town interests,
he will no doubt be a very popular Mayor, and
be allowed to remain in Office for many years
to come. The public will no doubt be glad to
see him make himself prominent in all useful
reforms, such as abolition of drunkenness and
vagabondizing about the streets, night ca rOus-
ings and the like. We trust his new honors
will not rest heavily on his shoulders.

Belle Isle.

This is the name given to a beautiful spot
of land of nearly four hundred acres, which
lies upon the margin Of Atchafalaya bay, near
" opposite to the entrance into Vermillion
bay. and rises to a height of nearly a hundred
feet above the level of the Gulf. This Island
belongs to Dr.. w. BRAsHEAR. who cultivated
it as a sugar plantation for many years. This
gentleman was 10 this town a few days since,
exhibiting a plan which he has conceived for
disposing Of Belle Isle by lottery, for the pur.
pose of making 1t an extensive and fashions

on our coast q more beautiful nor a more suit
able spot. The plan Of the Doctor divides

If 1t is not already publicly known, it will
be in a few days, that Capt. VERBo1s, having
made himself thoroughly acquainted with the
art Of AmbrOtyping, under the tuition of that
celebrated artist, Mr.. CHAs. WILSON, viii COM
mence the practice of his art forthwith on the
opposite. side Of the river. His specimens that
we have seen are in no way inferior to those
of his tutor. and we feel sure that he can give
the highest satisfaction. The Thibodaux Mi.
Nerva thus speaks Of the Captain:
We have concluded to pay our distresses to
Capt. Greenwood, better known to his nume-
Tous friends from New Orleans to Bayou Sas
ra, as R Capa0ine Verbois, the Professors
(Wilson) student and worthy assistant in his
beautiful art. The Captain has now been a
student of the Professor for over four months.

instances, to those of the Professor himself

itancy in believing that the Captain will be as
proficient in picture taking as he is, or has
been, in commanding a steamboat. This Is
our opinion, and we wish it circulated among
his numerous country friends in the river pars
ishes, where ne intends to pursue his calling at
the end Of his present stay in Thihodaux.

The Courssof True Lore.-John Dean, the
celebrated coachman~lover, has gone to Clo-
verick, a pleasant little village on Hudson Ri
yer to get himself rubbed down with The curry
comb Of education. Meanwhile his wife,
whose affection is certainly of the most stable
character, remains at the house of the officer
who was appointed by the Supreme Court 10
rescue her from the hands of her father. Ske
does not care a straw for the opinion of the
world, but is determined to cling to her hus-
band, (who is at once her groom and BRIDE
gFoom,) whether he be at the top or bottom
of fortunes wheel. Is there not more philos-
ophy il this young lady's choice than people
are wont to imagine? We cannot see why it
is not the result of q natural reaction in femi-
nine longings. Why should not the young
ome of New York prefer men with good
muscles, some brains, and no culture, to men-
milliners without either muscles, brains, or
culture? We leave this pregnant question for
our lady readers to discuss.

international Courtesy.

A hundred and ninety-one of Lockridge'a
men left in adestitute condition at AspinwaIl
who had been brought there from Greytown,
were taken by the commander of the British
war steamer Tartar, Capt. Dunlap, from As
pinwaH to the mouth of the Mississippi river
without charge, in order to restore them to their
home, as there was no vessel at the time at
AsPinwall to take them TO the States. As the
Tartar draws too much water, she could not
cross the bar. In this emergency, a towboat
coming along, its commander offered to take
the men up to the city for The sum of $500.
Capt. Dunlap, who already had acted with SO
much benevolence towards the destitute vol.
u%nteers, after some reflection, undertook 10 be
responsible for the payment of this sum, and
the commander of the towboat, on this prom
Use, took the men up to the city, where they mr.
rived on yesterday, and now wander through
our streets in a most destitute condition.
This conduct of Capt. Dunlap deserves the
highest encomiums, and will be gratefully re-.
mem5ered by the American people as an act
of international courtesy. But we do not
think 1T fright that the generous commander of
the Tartar, should, besides bringing the q men
back to their native country, pay the sum
guaranteed for their passage up to this city
We take it for granted that our merchants and
other citizens will take this matter in hand,
pay the amount, and present the gallant British
tar with an appropriate testimonial for his
meritonous deed.-Picdyune.

The Daily Times. Such is the title of a
new daily paper which has just made its ap-
pearance in New Orleans under the editorial
management of JOSEPH Brennan and WALTER
HOPKINS, who were recently the principal edi,
tors of the Delta. The paper presents a tastes
ful and beautiful typographical appearance and
is we'll filed with reading matter. Its editori-
al and other departments show unusual ability.
The style of Mr.. BRENNAN is of that racy, pi-
quaint, off-hand character that is much relished-
ed, and which added greetly to the popularity
of the Delta. The Times is independent in
politics. We wish it success, which we feel
sure it will attain.

The Ice EmRarnrize.

We understand that Messrs. VEssrR g.
DUBucLEr, Jr., as a matter of accommodation
have made arrangements TO receive fish from
New Orleans regularly twice a week. Plan>
ters and others, then, who have been in the
habit Of getting their fish from the city by
having it enclosed in their ice, need but give
the same order to the above firm, and they will
have it filed equally as cheap. Hitch up an
old mule cart and send in for the Injuries.

Bracelets on the Ankles.-Tbe following will
prove good news to the Juveniles. 1t is said
that the Countess of Castiglione made a SEM
sation at one of the Emperor Nnpoleon'a re-
cent levees, by appearing with her robe looped
up at the side 50 as TO expose her symmetri-
cal limbs, almost to the knees, and displaying
the neatly turned ankles, which were clasped
with magnificent bracelets. The robe and cor
sage were of cloth and silver, the latter per-
fectly tight and inconsiderably deco!iene, with
extremely short sleeves, and no ornament or
trimming whatever, but a large diamond heart;
the former displaying an underskirt topped up
at one side On the head, FIVE diamond hearts
were held together BY an arrow piercing them,
and a flowing veil completed the costume. It
seems as though the free and easy days Of the
old Napoleonic dynasty were returning.

The Tberville Gazette, denies, that Mr. Sim
mons wrote the article in the Sentinel, recom-
mendiug himself (Simmons) as a suitable per-
son, to represent Iberville in the next Legisla-
ture. No doubt as "Jennings" says: "Sim-
mons is a democrat" but the people of Iber.
vile we opine, will not willingly part with the
valuable services of Downes, in the Lower
House. Downes is democrat too. Any one
who has the efrontry to deny titles. W.

to express our indignation, for any one who
dare question our yeracity on this subject
After Jennings, there is 10 man in the State
who knows better "what is a democrat" than
ourself.
The Gazette and Comet, from which we take
the above, is got the matter a little twisted
We wrote what was written about Mr.. SIM.
MONS and the Legislature, as requested of US
by a Democratic friend of his. MIR. s. is moi
inclined, we are sure, to push himself forward
for a Legislative or any other Office, but viii
serve his party and the people to the best o.
his ability whenever called upon. The advo
cacy of Judge DowNEs' democracy, which oul
contemporary branches of to-, seems quite SUI
perfuous. We never heard that his democrGe,
was questioned--so don't get so savage about
it. Our contemporary speaks knowingly, how
ever.

that man is made of dust. He saws that

ter into their composition, being the ashes
