on this love Of our ftllow-heings a system Of
mental energy and purity far removed from the
operations Of sense, and pregnant with high
hopes and aspirations. Irving was born in the
city Of New York, Oh the third Of April, 1888
His first essays were series of letters, under
the signature of Jonathan Oldstyle, Cent?

In 1896, after his return from European tour
he joined Mrs Paulding in writing "Salma-

the gold medals of fifty guineas in value, prv
vided by George the Fourth, for emiucnce in

Our schools.

In spite of repeated failures, we are now full
ly persuaded that we have here permanent
institution for the instruction Of boys, which
will increase with the growth of the town and
extend its blessings far into the future. An
elegant academy--one worthy Of Monroe-has
recently sprung up before the talislnantic
touch of the vital principle of united will

heroes of the world and win the trophies of
victory in battle strife, or in the noble arena Of

require to render our MALE SclIoor. permanent,
is a determination and consert of action.
F. Prof Page informs us, that the prospect of
rending the Academy entirely permanent is no
longer matter Of doubt. He was il,augurated
as principal, on the 18th of October, and at
this time lie has on his roll the names of over
forty students, with aattering prospects of
numerous additions.
Prof Page is a ripe scholar, on accomplished
gentleman and fine teacher, which should be
u sufficient inducement for our citizens to vie
with him in building up and establishing q
fourishing Institution of learning in this place.
Our FEMALE ACADEMY, under the guidance
of Col. +. A. Hall, is also in most
prosperous and Aourishng condition and bids
fair, speedily, to rank among the first Of FE-
MALE institutions in Louisiana. The space al

educational wealth which constitutes true and
genuine greatness? Unless VIC can erect schools
among us with all the appliances for

The Next Presidential Election,

The late elections in the Northern States
have inspired the Black Republicans with a
degree OF confidence they have never felt be-
fore, and strongly admonisll the Democrats, of
every section, to beware Of those personal
feu1s, which only weaken us and make our enc
mics strong. 1t is not the Democratic party
we have to defend, hut onr country There is
not man North or South of Mason and Dixon's
line who has not deep personal interest in
the next Presidential election. As the Union
has been source Of blessing to the people, it
is the interest of every citizen to preserve it.
Ii Democratic President shall be elected
there is not man, North or South, who docs
not know that the Union will be safe, and that
we will, as nation, go on in the same onward
march OF honor, prosperity and happiness we
have heretofore followed.
Will it be so if q Black Republican shall be
elected? The most confident heart must have
misgivings on this subject. Even a Black Re-
publican, if he inquire within himself what
shall become of our country if Seward, or any
other man like him, should be elected Prcsi-
dent, could not fail to be filed with gloomy
forebo1ings. We are told by God, himself
that "atami7y diridea against asey must fsM"-
So with nation; and the men who proclaim
the "irrepressable conflict" between the South
and the North proclaim nothing less than the
destruction and dcsolation of the country.
The people of the North, we believe, are not
willing to enter into any such disastrous CRU
sadie against their Southern brethren. If there
be such thing as political religion, we be
licve that the political religion of the people of
every section of our country, is devotion to
the Union, under which we have lived so han
PLY, and become SO great nation.
If the national party of this country there
is only one national party now, the Democrat,
ic party) fail in the next election, it will ba
the results of the wicked discussions of their
leading men--men who give up patriotism and
forget their country, to crafty personal maley-
oienee or ambition. If the politicians could
only agree for little while, to discard their
own selfish ambition and vanity, and labor for
their country's welfare, the sentinels on tho
watch towers could cry "All IS Well" Will
they do it, If the people only knew the
perllous times we have before us, they would
force them to do it-Et.
