VIC publish this morning, from the New O.leans
Deka, the proceedings Of public meeting in the
parish Of Plaque mines, La, in behalf Of purely
Southern pso-savery party organization tor the
campaign of 1860.
The authorized reporter of this meeting says
that it was composed of : large number Of the
citizens o. both parties" aud the editor of the
Della says that in the proceedings in question,
"polit'cions viii fnd food for profitable re6ec-
'ion. and the friends Of Southern rights ground
for hope and congratolation." The exact prin-
ciples sud platform Of this new Southern rights
ting; but in the interval, from the disclosures
already made, tie purposes in view may be readi-
ly coDjec'ured
From the address presented to this Plaque
mines gathering Of ''ctizens Of both parties" it
appears that Tin the affairs of our nation ut this
time, stands one question prominently corsp-
cuous, and overshadowiDg all others, and that
is, the conflict OF tue South agaiost
Northern aggressions." Next, after re.
capitulation Of these aggressions thus far, and
under the belief that the prescott strength Of the
free soil party Of the North renders its success in
the next Presidential election the next thing to
dead certainty, this PlaqucmIoes address con-
tends, that in order to put the South "in the best
attitude Of defence" sit becomes necessary to
consolidate the strength of the Southern people"
To this end the meeting resolved to ignore the
political differences which have heretofore d.
vided US, and to unite for the special purpose of
maintaining Southern rights against free soil
aggression"
Such, az far as developed, are the principles
and purposes of this incipient Southern organiza-
ton; and we think these Developments are quite
sufficient to establish all that we have said in re-
lation TO the wide spread arrangements existing
for the speedy organization Of Southern ultra
party. This parish of Plaquemines though an
obscure locality, is somewhat known in the pol
teal world on account Of the notorious Plaque
mines frauds Of Mr.. President Folks election. 1t
is not surprising, therefore. that the first public
proceedings to an organization of this projected
Southern sectional and secession party for 1860
should come OF in this parish. We have no
doubt, however, that this meeting was composed
Of honest though misguided men, led astray by
visionary politicians
