A Great Cry and Little Wool.

From the day on which, in the month of
April last meeting was called ut Odd Fell
lows Hall in this city, by one hundred and one
individuals styling themselves Democrats until
that on which our late general election was
held the people of this Parish, aud of the State
at large, have been amused with the antics of
an Insignificant handful ofpolitical atlventurers
composed Of one or two disappointed aspirans,
and q tail Of ungratcful Office holders who have
for years past been growing fat on office OBJ
tained at the hands Of the Democratic party Of
Louisiana, and whom much prosperity has driv
ell to the hallucnation that they had the dcsi-
ny Of their bcnctuctors in their hands. and
could shape the action of great and powerful
political organization to their capriccs or their
pccuniary interests That assemblage, while
clamoring against the ancient and well known
usagcs Of the Democratic party in this city, and
denouncing in ribald aud shamcfully false
terms, the wise and patriotic Administration Of
Mr.. Buchanan, also announced Il policy--if SO
pitiful squad could be supposed to have u
policy-with regard to the legislative powers
existing in the inhabitants of the organized ter.
ritorcs of the United States, which brings its
propoundcrs so near the Black Republican par
ty that practically there is no difference be-
tween them, so far us tue equal rights Of The
slavcholding States in the common property of
the Federal Union is concerned.
Nevertheless, the concocters Of this scheme of
detection and disorganization, trusting either
to tn c forbearancc of the real Democracy or to
the liberal credulity Of our population, had the
boldness to proclaim themselves the States
Rights Democracy Of Louisiana, and to enter
| into contest with the friends Of tho Admins
tration on the issue which they had framed
against it. Their first essay was to elect a del
cgation to the State Democratic Convention,
| held at Baton Rouge on the fourth Monday in
May /; their delegates were refused seats in its
deliberations and their leader, denied the gym
pathy of any portion Of the country Democracy,
quilted Baton Rouge in dudgeon and disgust,
and returned home, to use homcly old express.

the Reputation Of his policy by those to whom

or moderation for he next proceeded to the
establishment Of club, which, in order to en-
trap the unwary, was called "thc States Rights
Democratic Club" which, it is to be supposed,
he harangucd in his most eloquent manner, in
order to prepare and discipline 1t in his darling
project Of killing of party whose only olfense
as regarded himself was, that be was dcnied that
measure Of honors and influence in its councils

A Tribute to Washington Irvins.

Tho following graceful tribute to tho Ia
mcntcd Irving appears in the Boston Courier,
aud is probably from the pen or Mr.. George $.
llillard
Irving has long been the most popular Of our
American authors and on this account there
Is less need Of dwelling at length upon the
peculiar characteristics Of his exquisite genius.
We eau hardly iattcr ourselves that these words
Of ours will be read by my ono not familiar
with his delightful writings. We should be but
telling u thrice-told tale ii we should attempt
to do justice TO The magic grace of Ills style.
his easy ind flowing narrative, his delicious
humor, aud his tenderness and sweetness 6f
sentiment, Besides these peculiar literary
merits there is MI indchuable charm In his
writings, infused from his own personal chu-
rncter. With him the style was indeed the man
His works ure penetrated with that kindIiness.
gcnhcness md cordiaity which were recognized
in bis manners and bearing by NIL who had tho
privilege Of approach to bis person. There was
no gall in his ink, because theye WAS none in his
blood. Envy. malice nIld hatred never knock
cd at the door Of his heart. He never lost 4
friend, or made IN nnemy. His nature was
genial, sympathetic md sweet :: eoured by no
disappointmcnts, wasted by no stormy passions
And esteem and respect followed him no less
than love.
Few men of letters had ever led moro homer.
able and reputable lives than he. In bis career
there was nothing for II friend to suppress, nor
an cncmy-had he had one 10 proclaim. lls
Ind none of the irregular impulses by which
men OF genius nrc 40 often led astray, and no.
thing OF TINT weakness of character which NOT
unlrequently accompanies the most brilliant
endowmcnts Heir to all the graceful genius
and delicate humor Of Addison and Goldsmith.
he escaped the GOODNESS Of the former, and still
more the moral obiquitlcs Of llih latter And;
bis life, now that II has been brought to close,
may be pronounced to have been emnantlv
hnppy. Fame was his, ahd'loye and honor In
Ills latter years, exalted into reverence. How
serene and beautiful were his declining years
now graccd and digni0ed with every thing that

with that natural sorrow which is the just tri.
