The Parish Convention.

| 1t is important that the Democrats of Rapides
should be fully represented in the Parish Conven-
ton which is to assemble here on the goth. This
is not merely our individual opinion but it is the
opinion which is emphaticay expressed by those
Democrats with whom we have conyersed. The
harmony and well-being of the party and the suc-
cess of our State ticket here aud elsewhere will be
promoted by a full Convention, such one as will
represent the whole party. The personal attend
anee Of every delegate who shall be chosen on the
18th, ishishly desirable.
We want a local ticket that shall be fitting sup
p!ement to our unsurpassed State and Congressional
nominations, a ticket composed OF the best men in
Rapdes. In order to form strong ticketit is nee
essay that all portions of the Parish should be rep
resented iii person by men who know the wishes
and prelerences4of the precincts which send them
as delegates. BY such means the Convention will
be prepared to make the lest possible nominations
such as, when put forth, shall be declared by
strongest that could be made" This the copven-
ton can do by a fell attendance aud by deliberate
action. The nominations will be received with &C.
quesence in any event, for Democrats like the Old
Guard Of Rapides, whatever their private nclina-
tons may have been, are not accustomed to grum,
BILE; but we want something more than mere &C.
quescence and support for our nominees; we want
ticket that the opposition can't find flaw in nor
carp at; we want candidates who will call out the
largest Democratic vote ever polled in our Parish.
In this hot weather it is not pleasant thing for
delegates to ride forty miles some of them will be
obliged to in attending the Convention, but the 1
good ofDemocracy demands and the sacrifice will

tants ola territory have right to declare by law
what shall, and what shall not constitute and be
protected as property therin.
Resofred, That the people Of a Territory possess
no other legislative, executive or judicial powers
oyer it than such as the Federal Government may
give to them by lew; that The powers granted can
never exceed those Of the Government granting
them; and that, where Congress has given to the
people or Legislature OF a Territory the power to
protect the property and rights of the Inhabitants,
and they fail or refuse to afford such protection,
that power reverts to the Federal Government
whose duty it thus becomes TO exercise it.

| oHere she goes and there she goes" As Ipre~
dicted, the Odd Fellows Iallmeeting has turned out
fzzle. After drumming up for the last tive months
for material out Of which to form an opposition
ticket, imploring in vain Alexander Decouet, Esq,
to permit his name to be used as raHying point
around which die disaffeeed might assemble in
battle array, the whole affair terminated in polit
ical Cub, where weekly meetings were held fort
purpose Of discussing measures, arranging plans
and fixing the triggers for ahe defeat Of the Old
Guard. But lit has looked all the time to some Of
the more discreet of the Purifiers, as an uphill busi
ness, and they had determined on the first fair
chance to give soule :" notice that they intended
to yamoose the ranch. When man wishes to
quarrel with you, or anempIoyee to leave your SER
vice, they never have long to wait for an opportu-
nifty, for ii it does not comesoon enough they can
make the chance. Therefore, simply becspss hr.,,
