THE MEETING ON List MONDAY.

The reader will find in our columns tbi
week the resolutions adopted by n respectable
meeting of the democracy of this parish Oh
last Monday, convoked for the purpose of up
pointing delegates to attend q District Con
%ventlon to be held in Baton Rouge on the Hi
Inst, for the purpose of nominating q suitable
candidate to succeed the Hon. Corpeliu.
VOORHEES, on the Supreme bench, whose tern
OF service expires in April next.
The action taken by this meeting, in repro
batting the incorporation of party politics will
o canvass for the election of Associate Justic,
Is N direct antagonism 10 the action Of an,
similar meeting which we have noticed in thu
district, convoked for the same purpose.
we cordially endorse the spirit and bearing
OF The first resolution in the series, as CARRYING
out the policy intended by the trainers of the
Constitution Of ls52,-by separating the iu.
diclal elections in the Slate from Other cleo
tons, for the direct and ostensibie purpose Of
Kidding them of the party Juror and excitement
incident to partisan contests.
We regret 10 know however that this policy
is beginning. to be too much neglected by pc.
ltical aspirants for office, and demagogues who
only look to their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, aud
not to the promotion of the public veal. In
this wild scramble for Office, and this ignoring
OF the policy inaugurated by the Constitution
OF 1897, we are ,grati6ed to chronicle the fact,
that The parish Of ST. Landry has signifed her
adhearance to the sanctions of the Copstitu-
ton by adopting the resolution under con-
slderatlon and instructing her delegates to the
Baton Rouge Convention to use their best
efforts to prevent a strict party nomination for
the judicial Office in question. Should the
delegates from this parish be overpowered in
the Convention in not sustaining the principle
secured by the Constitution OF 1852, then as the
first choice of the democracy of this parish, they
are instructed to cast their votes in favor of
the Hon. Albert VOORHEES, nomination by the
Convention. Should they be foiled in e%fIecting
his nomination, by IA majority of delegates ia
v"rlng the professions of some other gentle,
man in the district. considered more available.
then the delegates from st. Landry we suppose
Will have either to take up the party traces
and support the nominee of the Convention.
or secede from its action and cast their votes
for an independent candidate.

CoNGRFss.-Ihis body has been in session
one month, and the proceedings down TO .ths
29lh nlt., present no details of an exciting OF
interesting character.
The Senate has been principally occupied in
a discussion of the resolutions offered by Mr.
Clingman in regard to the Clayton Bplwe,
Treaty and the Pacific Railroad bill.
Senators Gwin, Davis and Brown have
made able and interesting speeches upon these
two topics, but it is highly probable that
nothing decisive will be done during the
present short session of Congress.
A number of Senators nre in favor Of the
immediate nbrogation of the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty, which may now be considered virtually
superseded by the action of the British gov.
eminent in declaring a protectorate over
Nicaragua.
The Senate has approved the treaties with
japan and China.
The House has disposed Of the impeachment
case of Judge Wabrous, by the adoption of an
amendment to the original resolution declaring
that there is not snfici, Mt testimony before the
House TO impeach the Judge.
After the return Of the members from their
homes to enjoy the Christmas holidays we
may cx.sect some interesting discussions on a
few of the prominent questions presented for
their consideration in the annual message of
President Buchanan.

demonstrations Of rejoicing by all of her
citizens.
W have not heard Of any preparations

Of high patriotic duty is hardly tolerable or

shows . great want Of State pride and respec,
for the day which to US, is scarcely less i'm
portant than the Nations birthday. While
this apathy and Indifference will be manifested
in some parts Of the interior, we know that
the citizens Of New Orleans will not let the
occasion pass without suitable demonstrations
Of patriotic commemoration. There the va
rions military companies will be out in all

laundering cannon will speak out the patriot.

with enthusiasm the virtues and deeds of the

Another Arctic Expedition.

DIR. Hayes, n fellow-voyager with DR.. Kane
in his exploration of the Arctic regions, de
liyerrd u lecture before the Geographical So
ciety of NewYork on the evening Of the 10th
inst in which he expressed his unshakcn con.
tidenee in the idea Of all open polar sea, aud
addaeed many lacts in confirmation. He pro
posed another expedition, to start in 1860
with a vessel OF one hundred tons and twelve
sailors, and asked aid for the project:

about latitude 81 9 a distance of six hundred
mics from The pole. The hummock ice which

he could reach that point, and that their Jour
