OPPOSITION STATE TICKET.

The Opposition State Ticket appears to meet with
considerable favor in the country. Yesterday we
published articles from three influential country
journals, giving it their hearty and unqualified sup
port. To-day we present the following from the
Marksville (Avoyelles Parish) Organ of the 18th.
For some time (two or three years we believe) the
Organ has been recognized as powerful exponent
Of Southern Rights Democracy But to the article Of
the Organ referred to-
The SELECTION OF CANDIDATES BY THE REPRE-
sENTATIyEs OF THE PEopLE.-Just before going to
press we have received the proceedings of the meet
ing lately held in New Orleans by the delegates of
portion of the citizens of the State, who have de.
termned at last to be sers no longer to kinplv rule
pride and arrogance, but to meet boldly together in
connc in defiance Of threats and intmidatjons. and
take council together bow the reins of Government
may be restored into their own hands,
The men selected as candidates for the high Offices
enumerated are possessed of superior talent worth
and intelligence, and as they are mostly natives of
the State will doubtless prove peculiarly agreeable
to them as candidates. We hear the selection COM
mended universally and hailed with delight as most
admirable one
We here give in brief space the proceedings and
results, awaiting future opportunity to discuss the
merits OF the candidates. q The proceedings of the
Opposition Convention follow, which we omit, they
having been published several times iu these columns
The Organ places right under its editorial head the
Opposition State ticket, and will undoubtedly work
for it with energy and zeal until the close of the
canvass.

SuBAoUEoUs ExPLo1T.-On the afternoon of the
18th man named Wilson, clothed in suiTof ma
rne armor, successfully crossed from the eastern to
the western bank of the Schuylkill, Philadelphia,
short distance below the wire BRIDGE and returned to
the spot from whence he started. A small rope was
tied around his body, one end Of which was held by
an assistant in canal boat, by means Of which the
submerged man WAS to give signal in case of acci.
dent Another rope was also suspenped under water
from one side Of the river to the other, as guide,
which he held on to while passing over The pine
for the supply of fresh air not being long enough to
reach across the river, boat, with the pumps and
machinery, accompanied him over and returning.
He reached the western side in twenty-five minutes
from the time of entering the water The trim back
was made in twenty minutes.
