MARp1 GRAs,--This institution was in
defatigably celebrated in Red Stick. An
individual whose perseverance and powers OF
muscle are worthyof unbounded admiration,
1sF.ng obtained a FIVE cent mask, a low-pri-
ced. second or third hand calico frock, and q
snare drum, marched the streets, and pound
I'd upon" the last named article with such
*vigor and seriousness as became an lntividu-
81 who seemed to appreciate the fact that
the city allowed the whole weight of the
celebration to rest upon his shoulders. A
lame niger who is curious in statistical facts.
-andzwho constituted the pyocessionioliowing
the drum, most of the time. gives it as his
qonfdent opinion that the labors of the indi-
srldual upon the dunn, did not cease. il, the
aggregate more than thirteen minutes during
nine hours. The interchangeable drummer
marched past some points eight or ten differ
ent times, seemingly perfectly Indifferent
whether any one was following him or not.
He looked neither to the right nor the left.
but pressed forward with the air OF a mar
who knew he had the celebration to "do,H
and was bound to 'do'' it.

The FsEE NEGROES OF Lor.s1A<A.-W We
are glad to note that the Free Negro subject
has at last been brought to the attention of
the Legislature in a practical manner, and
We earnestly hope it may receive the com
sideFation and action, its Importance 10 the
general welfare demands. 4 good move
ment was made by the last Legislature in
Stopping emancipation with the privilege to
remain in the State, and we trust the work
SO well begun, will be consumated by the
Assembly now in session, by the passage Of
the bill which has been introduced into the
House bv Mr.. Gray. The measure was con-
st,ucted under the supervision of the Attor-
ney General, and its provisions are at once
stringent. and susceptible of being carried
into the fullest effect. 1t attacks none of the
rights OF the free colored population who
Were born in the State, or have otherwise
acquired the privilege of remaing here, but
IS leseied at that class of tree black k who
are IN the State in contravention of law
whose Influence upon our slaves is most in
]urlously felt, and who form a dangerous ele-
ment in our midst. The bill warns all such
to depart from. the territory of Louisiana
gives them ample time to do so (until Janu-
airy LIST, 1850 and provides that those found
in the State after that date, shall be proceed
ed against in regular form, and on conviction
under the law, shall be sold into perpetna,
slavery. Exceptions are made in cases where
free negroes arrive on vessels coming from
ports without the jurisdiction of the State,
and on board which they are regularly en-
ployed.
We believe that this bull will meet the
approval Of nine tenths Of the population of
Louisiana, and we are pleased to learn that
the general sentiment Of the Legislature
seems to be in favor OF a law Of the kind
These circumstances encourage the opinion
that Mr.. Gray's bill, Or some one similar to
it, will speedily be made a law Of the State.
When the Legislatures Of free States, whose
inhabitants croak about the social and po'iti-
cal equality Of the negro with the white man,
begin to shovs signs of great un~essiness and
much disgust, at the increase Of a worse than

Williamson, the refractory witness. who re-
fused to testify before the Congressional
Committee to investigate the frauds for the
modification of the tariff last winter, has
purged himself of his conte mpt, and on the
5th answered all the questions put to him.
He stated to the Committee that he knew
nothing about the money paid last winter
tor the modification of the tariff, but that. if
the Committee would go back to transactions
of IS42 and 1916, he would show tiem where
$4,000 Of British gold and 10000 French
francs were expended to carry the tariffs
then passed by the Democratic Congresses,
The Committee said they did not want any
such Internationally. O. Bulletin.
Oh the pure, sanctified and holy Democ1a-
ry! The considerate and temperate Deuoc-
raey who did not want the acts Of their pred
ecessors inquired into! Probably as Mr..
Clay was a champion Of a protective tariff,
British gold was used to defeat him for the
Presidency. Such a rumor was in circulation
atthe time he was defeated for that Office;
Williamson should have revealed everything
whether a Democratic committee wanted to
hear it or not. 1t strikes us that a want of
honesty was plainly shown in that commit
tee, refusing to hear of the acts Of a preceding
Democratic Congress. AS patriots and lovers
of their country, it was their duty to do so,
but as I Democratic committee who didn't
want to hear of any raseality Of their party
it was their duty not to DO So -.

THE EXEMPTIONS BILL poNE FoR.-Mr.
Claiborne's bill exemptiDg one slave from
seizure and sale under execution Or attach
ment, which was before the House three diff
erent days last week, and elected the most
interesting discussion, of the session, was fin
ally strangulated by a majority which plainly
showed that the measure had no possible
chance Of success from the beginning. AL
though laboring under severe indisposition,
Mr.. Claiborne opened the debate on the day
the bill! first cane up, and he made a most
eloquent appeal in its behalf. He demonste.
ted clearly and powerfully the great necessi-
ty for fostering the institution of slavery, and
encouraging the increase Of slave holders
among our popul ation. The old argument
that the passage of such a law would raise
up an inyidious and detrimental distinction
between the stakeholder and non-slaveholder.
was thoroughly reiuted by Mr.. C., but so
strongly has that argument, and its conse-
quent prejudices become rooted in the minds
Of a ma jority Of the present Legislature, (the
same as the LAST that no reasoning, however
powerful. could produce a change Of opinion.
MIR. ClaiboHne's continued bad health prevent
ed him, from doing battle Tor his bantIing on
the last day OF the debate, but the opposition
was fixed, and the result could not have been
changed.
