Louisiana Sentiment.

, - ~
Notwithstanding the detection of Soule, whose
vacillating and eccentric course has lost him
the confidence Of the Louisiana Democracy to
such an extent that he received but a single
vote fer United States Senator in the late cleo
ton, we have every reason to believe that
Louisiana will act in concert with Mississippi
at Charleston, in demanding the adoption of q
platform enunciating the doctrines embraced
in the resolutions that fly at our mast head,
and the nomination of candidate for the Pres
idency who is worthy to placed at the head
of party which claims to recognize and to
uphold the constitutional equality of the
States.
The following is brief extract from a
sketch of recent speech of Mr.. Landrum, the
Democratic nominee for Congress in the Caddo
district saS q e, -fs.. E-s
a' The great argument in his speech was made
in opposition to dogma termed squatter
sovereignty. He maintained that it was the
duty of Congress to protect the STAKEHOLDER
when his property was in jeopardy-that it
was a dangerous heresy to advocate absolute
popular sovereignty in the territories. He was
willing to abide by the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Dred Scott case, leaving the peo-
pie of the territories to manage their domes-
tic institutions in their own way, so long as
they respected and protected the slave proper
ty of the Southerner like every other species of
property. He endorsed the first resolution of
the platform of Louisiana, passed. at ourslate
State Convention, and believed that resolution
to embodyl the correct doctrine in reference to
the protection Of property in the territories
He expressed confidence that the sound and
constitutional men, north and South would
still be able to control the destinies of this re-
public, and protect the equal rights of all the
States,

From the GaHatin Miro
Pettus is the Man.

Yes, he is the man for the times, and they
demand far seeing wisdom and incorruptible
integrity. Mr.. Pettus occupies the same po-
sition that he did, during the troublous times
Of 1850 and 1851, firm and decisive. States
Rights and Southern to the core, his speech at
Hazlehnrst last Monday was brimful Of good
advice, bold but quiet determination.
! Disdaining, as was appropriate, to discuss
petty measures of party policy, he addressed
himself to the people on the one absorbing
question African slavery, in its various phases.
The heterodoxy of Mr.. Douglas was truthful
ly represented, each hneament of this foul
abortion portrayed with life like accuracy
He showed the parent Of such monstrous off
spring to be the faithful ally Of the blatant alb
olitionist, the former by preventing the extern
sion Of slave territory, paves the way for the
latter to attack slavery in the states.
What an absurd attempt on the part OF the
Opposition press of Mississippi it was to ere
ate the impression that Mr.. Pettus repudiated
the fourth resolution Of the platform Of the
Democracy Of this State.
His speeches give the Lie direct to the charge.
If he is not entirely on the platform IL is be
cause he leans over on the ultra side, and if
erring at all, it is an error in the right direc
ton. We were glad TO hear his suggestion
made In no boasting spirit and without bra
vado, that the arsenal at jackson should be
well supplied with arms, for purposes Of de-
fense, and if necessary, for attack. This looks
like action. 1t Is the true spirit ayowing it
self unwilling to live longer in state Of hui
initiating acquiescence to tyranny.
With right doughty might did he belaoor
the Southern submissionists and especially
gratified were we to hear him denounce that
crouching traitor, Mr.. II. 8. Foote for express
ing during the struggle Of 1850 and 1851, the
infamous willingness to go to Northern Sena-
tors, and on his knees, beg for justice and tho
recognition of constitutional rights.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-"Occasional," the
Washington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, relates this piece of interesting intelli-
gence
aMy information from the South, authentic
and recent is to the effect that not only has
this traffic been re-opened, but that it is now
vigorously and flagTantly conducted. Some
of the first men of the South are engaged in it,
and il is asserted that number Of vessels
have been chartered ct Savannah, and are now
absent, for the purpose Of landing cargoes be-
fore the beginning Of winter. iorbear giving
the names Of the leaders in the enterprise, not
because they themselves refuse to speak oi
their connection with il, but for other reasons
not necessary TO enumefate. A very strong
sentiment Is growing up against the law pro.
hibiting the tTafic, and am assured that any
attempt to infiict the penalties win be resisted
on the spot"

(FS Some disunion sheet down South start
ed story that Mr. Dennison, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio, had declared
that he would resist the delivering up of a
fugitive slave at the point of the bayonet. Mr.

The st. Augustine [Fla) Examiner, Aug.
