have kept up their levees, without
SO much as calling upon the propri.
etors Of the back concessions for as.
sistance, except in case OF a crevasse,
when it became the duty of all in.
terested to help close it. How
ridiculous then to suppose in a case
Of that kind, that we would be com.
pelled to 60 to Crosse Tete for as
sistance2 It is q vile falsehood
to say that you will be taxed to sup
port levees in Wes* Baton Rouge
and the editors of that paper know
and knew when they penned the
abo7e paragraph, that there is no
law in West Baton Rouge that
taxes rear proprietors to keep up
front levees. Why did he then
make the chargea Simply because
he thinks you know nothing of the
laws of our parish, and needs must
be enlightened by him on them.
Your representative, Mr.. BRusLE,
introduced q bill to tax all lands
in your parish to keep up levees.
without (so far as We know) con
sulting you upon the subject. i did
not pass, because your Senator was,
perhaps, little longer-sighted and
more experienced, he, p'udently
advised its eoathdra,1al. 1t was
introduced, nevertheless, and had it
passed, you, people Of Crosse Tete,
would have been compelled to pay
taxes to maintain levees that did
not protect you. We're you con-
suited on the subject, to know
whether you were willing to pay it
or not? We doubt it!
Remain in lberville. and you
have a respectable and flourishing
town in your parish, whose mer-
chants, mechanics, &C., are well &C.
quainted with you, who sympathise
in your prosperity, where you have
credit, and will not be pushed if
you are n@exactly up to time, and
where, in your own parish, it is to
your interest to spend yonr money.
Is not this beautiful insinuation
to cast upon the people Of Crosse
Tete! Does the the Gazette & Sea.-
ti,,ez wish to intimate that yon are
not puctual in paying your debts,
and that you can get more time to
do so by remaining in the parish Of
1berville than by joining ours -
Really, this is a beautiful para
graph to spread before an enlight-
eded community! Since argument
has descended to so low an ebb, we
must be permitted to say that the e
city of Baton Rouge offer far more
facilities for business of all kinds
than the town Of Plaquemine. -
Many on Crosse Tete and Maran-
gouin transact their business in Ba-
ton Rouge, and they find all the
accommodations they require, even
the up to tinae,, which our cotem-
porary so lugubrioustly intimates
will be given you in Plaquemine:
Indeed the merchants Of Baton
Rouge offer everything in their
power to accommodate the people
of Crosse Tete and Marangouin.-
Every and anything they may re
quire is furnished at the lowest
possible price, and are perfectly:
willing, and satisfied, to give you
all the "up to time' you may
require. Can anything be fairera
And, besides, you can order and
receive your goods the same day.
Can you do as much when ordering
goods from T Plaquemine1 We opine
not. :z 5.s"~ =. Il

az People Of Crosse Tete and
Marangouin, til Q greatest-the
strongest argument used against
your voting for West Baton Rouge
is, that your taxes will be increased
should you decide in our favor. In
vain have we called upon those who
use this villainous slander to sub
stantiate it, and show the reason
why. We can do no more than
we have done to make them "show
their hands," and prove this un-
founded calumny. They are silent,
beyond the mere assertion, and that,
if for no other reason, should be sui
fcient to disprove the charge. It
is easy enough to make charge,
but it is not easy to maintain it.

TO THE People OF CROSSE-TETE

TO THE PEOPLE OF CRossE-TETE.
We would not again intrude up
on the indulgence of the people Of
Crosse Tete and Marangouin, after
having issued one "Extra, did not
certain m;statem ents, in regard to
this controversy, appear in an i" Ex-
ira" of the Iberville Gazette &
Sentinel, Of this morning, require
immediate refutation. With this
brief declaration, we hope we may
be pardoned for our trespass.
The issue of the Sugar Planter
of the 23d inst, seems to have
worked the Gazette & Sentinel up
to fever pitch Of excitement, and
it has made appeals to you which
are not based upon truth or reason.
| As we said before, it is the design
Of that journal to mislead you by
distorting facts-for what reason
you, people Of Crosse Tcte and Ma
rangouin, must be the judges. That
paper tells you to
Remain in Iberville, and you will
not be hemmed in, unable to leave
the bayou, when the Railroad be-
comes overtlowed, which no one
can say will not be the case during
the present extraordinary rise Of
the MississiI pi.
Can you, people Of Crosse Tete,
be worse off than you are now9
Would you not be "hemlned in"
if the railroad did not give you an
outlet? Admitting the overflow Of
the railroad by a crevasse, would
not communication be kept up by
boats2 Have you not been "bem
med in'' for thirty years, which
generous lberville did not, and
would not appreciate, until she saw
the chance Of losing youa Have
you not been deprived of an outlet
by your generous mother, even to
the losing on one or more occasions
ofyour crops. When your wall went
up at your losses, did your generous
mother offer to mitigate them by
a provisional, or other appro-
priation! Whence emanates this
generous, noble, and ill-timed char
ity ?-and for what purp@se?
Remain in 1bervil]e, and you
will not be burdened by the tax of
sixteen or twenty thousand dollars
whichW est Baton Rouge has prom
ised to subscribe to the railroad in
case she gets Crosse Tete.
Can anything be more ridiculous
and foolish Does that paper think
you are so ignorant and stupid that
you can be thus insulted2 If you
remain in Iberville will you not be
taxed to help pay the $4,000 pro-
vi;sioma1 appropriation for your
benefit, and the fifteen hundred
dollars for the Crosse Tete and Mar
angouin road? These two sums
amount to $26,500, to meet which
you must contribute your share
The sum proposed by our Police
Jury to subscribe to the Baton
Rouge, Crosse Tete 8 0pelousass.
Railroad, in event Of your deciding
to join us, amounts to but $4,000,
showing a difference OF $1,000. It
is not necessary then totell you that
the balance is considerably in our
favor. The editors Of that paper
would attempt to make you believe
that the $26, 500 would be contrib
uted without calling upon you for q
cent of that amount. Treat such
frivolities a. they deserve, people of
Crosse Tete
Remain in 1beryille, and you
will not be taxed to keep up levees

you think proper at any time to

a,:vances an argument so palpably
absurd, for your remaining in Iber-

by all manner of means have told

should you vote to remain in 1ber-

Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, declined TO yiel.ff

that it was impossible to organize in th I

might as well be talking as voting. The. :

among them who could be elected Spenke !
His position this House was of n pecn

policy of the Democratic party was to CT
loose at once from Mr. Buchanan and b; +
Administration, which the people ever /"
where loathed and condemned. He w;
returned to this House in spite of the AZ !
.ministration, which hc compared to
dead mems bones. He also differed frol ,
many of his Democratic friends in regar :
TO a dissolution of the Union, and believe
they could not strike the doctrine of pop
ular sovereignty from tho Dcmocrati
creed and leave any vitality in it. He r. {
ferred to the Presidents message, Z.
which his peculiar Territorial policy W: :
again thrust before the country. He WI.
amazed Mt this enormous bid of Mr.. BIT s
chNnan for the Presidential nomination Z
Charleston, in repeating his thrice-tol
tale that the Constitution carries SLAYER .
with it wherever it goes. He had been IL !

that he might give the weight of his yoic
against popular liberty. He was glad til

that slave property in the Territories

ously from the Observation-Disclosures act in
regard to the admission of Kansas MS n

the gentleman from Tennessee (Alr. Nell

Farnsworth of Illinois on the .Irre4
presslble ConGIct.n
[From thO cOngres.lonal olobe.

The burden of the Democratic song was
about Sewurd's Rochester speech of 1853,
aud the "irrcprcSsible conflict" sentiment
which it contained. Seward was not the
author of that opinion. 1t was put forth
more than two years before, i'll the Rich
mond EHquirer-April G, 1S56-whcn Rog-
or Pryor, now member on this floor, was
editor. The doctrine of an "rreprcssiblc
conflict" between the free and slave labor
systems was boldly advanced in that arti-
Gle in the organ of Virginia Democracy
That paper had declared that "thc war be-
tween the two systems RACES everywhere,
and will continue to rage until the one OF
the other is cXterminated." That seemed
to him rather strong ''irrcprcssiblc con-
hict" doctrine to be printed in paper
universally recognized and quoted from by
Southern Democrats us their leading or
gan.
Mr.. Pryor, of Virginia, said he was one
of the editors of the paper at the time,
and would not disavow the article.
Mr.. Farnsworth said Seward never ut
tered '.irrepressiblc conflict language half
rs strong as that. he read from the
Enquirer of July 81, 1857, another article
which set forth that free labor was fail
IRE and must give way to slave labor
Why was Seward denounced so fiercclv for
expressing in mild terms what the great
Democratic cxpounder of the South laid
down as an axiom i'll American politics
years before?
