An excellent address was delivered by
DR.. Gibbons, of Columbia, in elucdation
Of the principals of the Order; poem
was also delivered, partaking of the spirit
Of Americanism, and urging the order to
redoubling of their diligence The Of
ficers elect, are worthy men, and will
honor any Office in which they may be
placed. Mr.. Bradbury was one of our
late Supervisors, and Mr.. Ramsey, is
known as the popular proprietor of the

emily in prosperous condition, and is
constantly receiving accessions to its

Hon. Miles Taylor,

1t is subject for serious contemplation among the
constituency of representative to find him opposed
to that which is necessary to their very existence
This charge we lay at the political door Of the Hon
Miles Taylor, the present Democratic candidate for
Congress in this District and have fastened it upon
him so clearly, in communication in today's paper,
that those who run may read.
1t will never do for the Hon. Mr. Taylor TO say that
he made speech in favor of sugar-and it was all
his political principles would permit on his part
when his speech accomplished no other effect on his
hearers than hasten the reduction of the duty from
30 to "A per cent Had he, however, voted as be had
spoken, all might have been well enough but, un.
fortunately for the sugar planters he voted to reduce
the duty and his votes happened to prove vastly
lucky than his borrowed speech Here is presented
a representative who is a auis :
Now, we would seriously ask OF the sugar planter ::
do you wish the duty on foreign sugars to be taken
off by the general government? If SO, Mr.. Taylor is
the person to cause it to be DONE Has the culture of
the cane become secure in Louisiana that, like cot
ton, can safely submit to a nominal duty, or
none at all ? II answered in the Affirmative you
hazard none of your interests by re-electing Mr..
Taylor to Congress for he will most certainly if he
ever gets another shot at the Revenue bill through
another speech and another vote, knock the bulls
eye out of the tariff and sugar will be free!
The Hon. Miles Taylor will please observe that these
communications of "Americus are not what is gener-
ally styled Last Cards made on the eve of the cleo
ton, too late to be corrected No, not at all They
made fully two months before, with ample time to
be denied by him, If not true. 1t wont do for his
friends to go about and deny them. 0 no, he must
come out himself and face the music. All we want is
the truth-and the truth we will have. If he has
served his constituents faithfully, want them to
Know 1T if not resolved to expose the reverse.
Come, then, Mr.. Taylor. Come up to the Captains
ONCE ana settle Ii not, we shall continue to follow
you up, and exhibit your political deformities. We
SNOW you we'll aud shall not finch to perform our
duty well and truly to your constituency. But rest
assured that we will not suffer you to blow hot and
cold in the same breath and thereby endeayor to keen
on the strong side [TAibodauX Minerva, 29th ult

Free Negro Suffrage In Louisiana.

We need hardly direct the attention of our readers
to the the sworn proofs given elsewhere convieting
| Robert A. Hunter, Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer of aiding, abettng, protecting and defend
| ing the pernicious and dangerous practice of free
negro voting in the parish of his
taken from the Alexandria American of the Goth ut
The evidence is as conclusive as any white man
could desire, that Hunter is and has been the actual
defender and champion of disreputable cause-that
of placing the descendants of Africans upon par
with white native and adopted citizens And this,
too, in an extreme southwestern slave State-n
section of country, the people of which are as con-
tinually justly complaining of the Freeso aggres
sons of the North while allowing the practice of the
worst of Freesoiism among themselves IT, in future
this practice of free negro voting is not /" crushed
out and if its champion is not politically annihilated
in November, the less any of us have to say against
Greeley Seward any other of the greater or lesser
lights of Abolitionsm, the better for our own sense
of proprety, or even of decency. They will be per-
ecty excusable as long remain recrean to the
paramount doctrine on which Southern institutions,
rights, honor and safety rest.
Although the evidence to which we aude IS over
whelming, the editor Of the Alexandria American
very significantly gays: We will furnish more
proof next week in regard to the illegality of the
Ten-Mie vote, and Ten.Nile Bobs connection there
with" If there is more proof let it be forthcoming
as speedily as possible, in order that the people may
have an early opportunity of making up their minds
Although the subject is prolific one, yet we are
constrained to close owing, to the press upon our
columns. Still, one Or two more observations Sup
pose the champion of free negro suffrage in Louisiana
is elected State Treasurer and that next winter Sena
tor Seward should approach Senator Sdel with that
courty grace peculiar to him and say, "WeL Mr..
Slidel, your constituents have done precisely what
have been laboring in vain to accomplish for years.
and have put the negro an elective equality with
the white man y what reply could Senator make?
And suppose Mr.. Giddings should address each of
our Representatives in the same terms what reply
could they make?
We ask the people at large to ponder this matter
WELL and then ask themselves whittier they are drift
ing if they do not put down free negro suffrage and
its champion in this State.

who was almost immediately afterwards arrested by
the officers. But no sooner was the arrest made
than quick as thought, he put his hand in his pocket
and drew out a kniie, with which he cut his throat
from ear to ear in the most horrible manner. Of
course, he died instantly. We did not learn the

ACTION FOR MALPRAcTIcE-A New York court,
IN an action for malpractice on the part of medical
man, where the defendants counsel urged the objec
ton that an error Of judgment is not malpractice,
holds this point TO be good law when applied to man
Skilled IN anatomy, surgery physics, but not in
the case in action the defendant knowing nothing
OF those departments and therefore having no iudg.
ment IN the matter The court ruled that an error in
Judgment OF man skilled in particular calling is
not malpractice, unless it is gross error but error
in Judgment OF man unskilled in that science-if
such thing can be-s malpractice. In other words
person attempting to practice in physc or surgery,
without first having obtained a knowledge of such
science, is liable for all the damage resulting from
his practice.

THE ISLAND OF MADEIRA.-We learn from a letter
in the Boston Traveller that there is not grape on
the Island, and all hopes Of overcoming the blight
are given up. No one comprehends the disease, and
no remedy can be found. The grapes, when two
months old, collect mould on the shady side, as
large as pins head, which bursts and shoots out
the seed-in a few days they are dead. Mr.. March
has introduced the Catawba. which he thinks will
flourish, and produce in few years much wine as
the Island has ever done.
