Every now and then free tradist Of the
Istraightest sect urges upon his party the duty
of progression. He reminds them Of the
victories yet TO be obtained. He points to
the custom houses to be demolished. The
monopoly enjoyed by the sugar planters to
be abolished and the odious extraction of
money from the peoples pockets without their
knowledge, in the shape of revenue duties to
be done away with 1t has been fully shown
that the United States Treasury is distended
almost % bursting open by the immense in
fux Of money through the custom houses

prosperity under the free trade policy, and
that the sugar planters Of Louisiana call loud

Under these circumstances there should
be no delay. Let us have no half way
measures. Why should we! We have had
little free trade and found it good. If a
little is good more is better. A fellow at a

CROOKED Notwithstanding of the Rio
Grande, writer says: Imagine one ofthe
crookedest things in the world, then imagine
one twice as crooked, and imagine to your
self large river three times as crooked as
all these put together, and you have faint
idea Of the crooked disposition of this crook
ed river. There is no drift wood in it, from
the fact that it is so crooked that timber can
not find its way far down enough to lodge
two sticks together; but few snakes, because
it is not straight enough to swim in; and
the fish are all in whirlpools in the bends,
because they cannot find their way out
Birds frequently attempt to fly across the
river, but alight on the same side they start
from-being deceived by the crook. Indeed
you may be deceived when you think you
see across it; and some of the bhoys say ii
Is so twisting there is but one side to it.

The OUACHIrA.-The river here Las been
falling for the last ten days. The decline as
yet is small, though it has been of considera-
bic relief to some situations. The waters
may now be safely calculated upon as going
rapidly and entirely down, as the fall in
creases BY smart difference each day. The
latest accounts from the upper rivers speak
OF considerable rise in some of them but
they will not reach US in time to effect a
rise. This parish has suffered much, but not
SO great, we believe as to cause an entire loss
OF crops, on any single farm, on moderately
high ground. The other streams of the
parish, we learn, are also falling.
