AMUSING DISCUSSION

1
The people up in North Louisiana are enjoying the
blessings which flow out Of political discussions. Mr.
John M. Landrnm, candidate for Congress in the
Fourth District, and Mr.. Thomas J. Semmes, cand
date for Attorney General stirring mp the sover
egns In that goody section Of fertile and lovely
commonwealth. Not long ago they spoke at a
Barbecue gotten up in Franklin parish. Here is the
Winnsboro' Suns description Of it.:
Gen. r. A. r. Harper 0iciaed as President OF the
day. When the hour arrived for the speaking tn
commence, he called the assembly to order and intro
duced Mir. Landrum the first speaker. He made a
speech reasonable length and confined himself to
one topic-the importance of party organizations
The sum OF his discourse therefore be summed up
IN a Few words. IT Wis owing to party organization
that Jefferson, jackson, Polk and Buchanan were
elected. Hence he maintained, the country is indebted
for all their leading measures, viz the acquisition
Louisiana, the destruction Of the U. s. Bank, the
annexation Of Texas, aud the rise in cotton from
it15 cents, which it brought ten years ago to its
present high figure, to party organizations. Mr..
able man rs SandIdge Mr.. Semnes followed Mr.
Il. on the questions OF the day he is an interesting
speaker.
Landrums argument should be unanswerabe to
the Democracy. But, it to US, he did not run
his parallels far enough. Jefferson, were he alive,
would be more odious to his party than Douglas. An
U. S. Bank is obsolete idea" and has been such
for fifth OF century. The people of Texas have
recently elected Sam Houston Governor by an over.
wheIming majority end the regulars have said,
on innumerabe occasions, that be was traitor to
the South. IF cotton has risen in price, so have
niggers and all things else, making the proportion
about equal. Consequently, there are no tremendous
grounds for jubilation.
And, as the government Of the country will, in all
human probability, be in the hands Of the Frecsoers
in year or two, we see no good reason why Mr..
Landrum should mention the name Of old Buchanan
Internationally the most wretched specimen of
Chief Magistrate any country was ever afflicted with

MY Mother, o MY Mother.
By FINLEY JOHNSON.

Once more turn my wayward feet
Down yonder rural lane,
While memories Of the happy past
Come back to me again.
l see through branches of the trees
The house where was born
Where first felt the bliss Of life
In youths uncloud morn.
Once moro stand beside the hearth
Where once my mother smiled,
And though kind voices greet me now,
She welcomes not her child;
! fall within the outstretched arms
or my poor orphan brother,
oh ! would to God I'd died for thee
My mother, o my mother1
o mother, 'tis selfish thought
To wish thee back again;
To call thee from thy home Of bliss
To wear earth's weary chain:
Yet could call thee but one hour,
How would pour to thee
Ny hearts full weight of surfing,
Ny love and misery;
And thou shouldst kiss away my tears
And smile away my pain;
And whisper words of untold joy
When we shall meet again:
oh We should have a heaven on earth,
And live but for each other
But ah the angels ca alled thee home,
My mother, o my motherl
Mother-l knelt not by thy side,
Nor caught thy heeting breath,
When thou vert folded in the arms
OF the destroy er-Death;
did not see the peaceful smile
That lit thy gentle brow;.
But thy last blessing on thy boy
Il with me ever now;
And can calm my chastened heart,
With holy thoughts Of bliss;
That thou hast gone to brighter scenes
Than in q world like this
And true Religions magic power
Shall help my grief to smother;
And whisper: "Thou in paradise
Shall meet thy sainted mother"

| Members of Congress are beginning to ar
rive at Washington. The correspondent Of
New York Posi- saws, that candid Democrats
pretty generally admit that the Republicans
will organize the next House. 1t would
seem, when so rabid pro-slavery journal as
the Richmond Wing advises its friends to
vote for a Republican Speaker rather than a
Democrat, that all doubt upon the subject
must vanish.
Mr. Douglas has lost his only South Caro-
lima organ. The Edgefe'd Adrertiser, which
has hitherto advocated mis- nomination, says
his article in Harper's Magazine renders it
impossible for the South to support him.
The Louisville Journal says that the Nor
mons are all in favor of Douglas for the Pre-
sidency They are emphahcally 6quatter
sovereignty mon. They want no outside
powers or influences interfering with their
pol7gamy, or any other of their institutions
Some days since, after Senator JohE P.
Hale had addressed rousing Republican
meetingat st. Paul, Minnesota, a lot of
Douglas Democrats. who had listened to the
speech, were determined that the Hon. Tom
Marshall, of Kentucky, who was at the
hotel in front of which Mr.. Hale spoke,
should reply. Mr.. Marshall seriously objected
to speaking, but was finally urged upon the
stand Contrary to all expectation, he
commenced furious attack upon Senator |
Douglas, comparing his repeal of the Miss
ouri Compromise to the incendiary who des- |
troyed the temple of Diana at Ephesus-that
the only way ''little giants could perpetu-
ate their names was BY destroying the work
that big giants had performed He spoke
Mvorably of the big giants who had formed
that compromise, who he lamented were all
dead Adams was gone and Calhoun, and
Clay. and Webster-all gone-and he wished |
the Almighty, when he took to himself
those great giants, had also seen fit. for the
good of this country, to have removed from
US certain ''little giants" who
afflicted US The assembled Democrats
found it difficult to decide where the laugh
or the applause came in.
The San Francisco correspondent of the
St Louis Democrat says of the California
election
"To Republicans abroad the result must not be dis
hearteung The state Of parties peculiar,
and the Anti-Lecomp ptonites were sure that they
r,rII thrash the Administration that thCy refused
az st to coalesce. The Republicans after ex-
haustinE all means for a full compromise, con-

L. :. DISTRICT COURT

The Session Of the United States Council
and District Courts, Judge Sm1lley Presid
ing commenced at Rutlaua on Oct. 4th,
and closed Thursday The chic. case Of in
teres. was that Of the United States rs. Reu-
ben D. Waters. Waters was indicted by
the grand jury a, special session Of the
Court, held at Windsor in July, 1858,
charged with transmitting false and forged
papers to the pension Office department, in
support Of claims for Bounty Land Warrants,
under the acts Of 1856 So Only limited
number Of the many counts of the indct-
ment were selected, upon which to put the
respondent on trial. The respondent plead
ed noc guilty, and Hon. Robert Pierpont
and Hon. j. S. Robinson, were appointed
bv the Court to aid him in making his de-
fence These gentlemen, upon an examina-
ton of the case, advised him to plead guilty
which he finally did before the trial had pro-
gressed far.
His Honor, Judge Smalley, in giving him
his Sentence, remarked that his extreme age
would induce the court to be lenient in
awarding punishment. He was sentenced
to States prison for one year. The Rutland
Courier. from which we get the facts, says:
THE respondent is "A years of age has led
an eccentric life, and for several years past
has been attempting to get Bounty Land
Warrants for individuals said to have served
at the invasion of Plattsburgh, and in rur-
suit of this object the most glaring forgeries
were committed. Rolls of different compan-
panies were forged, and sent to the Depart
ment as record evidence in support of claims
fo7 bounty land for each man whose name
was forged upon the rolls, though never in
the Plattsburgh service.
The respondent has lived in Calais, this
State, for 40 years, and has highly respected
in Massachusetts,.
