Eve thousand dollars damages for the.
breaking 8 t q leveeo q dyke onland ad-
jjoiiniinglhiim, which, le eonfenas,itwas
the duty Of the parish authorities to bulbs
and keep inzorder:
It appears that the }evee b ~
same place laslesyear, and the current OF
water washed Q deep channel II the
bank, and that the owners Of the soil, Of
whom AZ. Lindsay was one, preferred
abandoning the land rather han rebuild
Tie dyke.
The parish accepted the transfer OF
the land, but failed to have the levee
completed in time, that all that=Was
done has been washed away and sub:
merged, and the whole country aggaif
~overaowed.
THIS suit viii BE prosecuted witllyigoF'

7s55L:e IPeo2,zze Of tie Fgsih Of Toise G5apas:
T have heard with surprise thatssonn
Of our eltIzensWho live ID tMie@intterior
part off.th1e parish, are disposed to cen
sure ne fur#tie passage OF the act
changing the leyee system.
I will very briefly state thefacts, and.
leave it to the candor and good sense Of.
every man-who reads Them to say@iff.tllIea
slightest " alne S should attach K. me.
The Board Of Police, representing
every ward ia tie parish, is presumed
to understand the wishes, the opinions
and interests Of al parts Of the parish.
This Board, by solemn resolution, re
uuested their representatives to pass
this law. Here is the resolution:
~aResolved, That our representatives
in the State Legislature be requested
10 use their besJ eNdlearG1s 70 procure the.
passage Of a law authorizing the Police.
Jurysof Pointe Coupeeto leuv g iGns Of.
50 much per acre upon nN 1ands ia the.
parish . the purpose Of building and.
repairing levees, &c, &c.
m= opeaience Of this resolution u pre-,
pared the bill, introduced iton#II1e
second day Of the session, as~IgdzIoIIlave
ii printed, and Informed the House that
would take h Q action Of it until my
constituents should readit and have
ample time to confferWiaf1hiNEtfhleir Senators
and Representatives on its details.
The bill was published approving1y
ii The Democrat and Echo, and widely
3ciirceslr1lIated5through the parish. Isent
copiies.offthe DilIbo many of.my fellow
citizens and requested each Of them to
advise me Of public sentiment-to sug-
zgest alterations and amendments, and
my object to be, to make the
bill as, acceptable as possible the
people. I received many letters from
all parts Of the parish approving the.
bill, and after waiting forty days tohears
any objections that might be enter
tanned. against the bill, and not hearing
word il opposition to its passage,
and neither Of MY colleagues having
heard Of any objection to the bill, pro-
ceeded to cary out the instructions Of
the Board Of Police
This IS q plain statement Of facts, and
Isubmit it to my constituents with full
confidence tllat noneWiH attach censure
to me.
Asian a candidate for reelection, it
will not be out of place toI add that if
tile Apportionnent bill had not taken
up tWo-thirdso Of the time Of the Legis-
@latlre, and If the minds Of members lad
not been 50 much excited l||y the same
cause, I would most probably have
passed an act forming a District Of the
parishes Of Pointe Gonpee, West Baton
Rougge and Iberville, and induced the
interior parishes to aid US Il building

from present appearances we look u

Of the Democraties party Of this

great firmaess Of p1rpose, always being
at misHpost readySto assume any
responsibility which his vote might sub

challenge acomparison with any other
man in the State for superior qualities
to him in this respect Tie isa ma of

E1eans in the year 1855. lis valuable
services then in leading the House Of
Representatives to eorrectdecisions, and
placing the legality thereofproperly be-
