If vigilance and activity on the part
Of our citizens will save us from inunda-
ton, certainly our parish is safe. This
week has been a trying one with our
planters. The .lcyecs have bccn. literally
lined by laborcrs, repairing and strength
ening tlem.. Our largest leyce, the
Grand Levce, through the energy Of
that veteran of many o%ycrtlows, Mar
cissc Carmouche, ST., is well secured,
and there is no apprehension of it's Civ
ing away, though we have seer pSTaded
III several newspapers a communication
apprehcnding doubts as to its security.
From our sister parishes above, we
hear Of nothing but destruction caused
by new breaches in the %leyees. Pointc
Coupec stands SUI oeaeris; it fears nc
danger from the oyerfows caused by
The negligence Of its neighbors. Il is
in the power Of its citizens to protect
Themselves, and THAT, we feel assured,
will be done at any-cost.

The Levee Bill.

Mn. Error: ! have read the Lcvce
Bill as published in your paper after its
passage, and also the late commuGca-
ton signed ga Planter / believe the
writer is mistaken when he says that all
the levees are at the charge of the par
isli. From a careful perusal of that law,
| cannot find a single clause or.eypres-
sion that bears the most distant idea to it.
Will you, yourself, Mr. Editor, or some
of your able contributors, give us your
opinion on that subject? Should I be
correct in my Interpretation Of the law,
there is no room for qnibbling, as 1t
would change only the machinery, and
not the substance Of our old Levee Law.
. BY the by, is not the title of that law
contrary to the Art. lis Of the Constitn-
Remembering two subject matters in
its title? Yours, &c. LEX.

Democratic Ward Meetings.

Before our next issue can reach oul
subscribers, the Democratic voters will
have met in their respective Wards, OIL
Saturday next, for the purpose of choos.
ing delegates to the Parish Convention
The mission of those delegates is OF
great Importance to the welfare, union,
and harmony Of the Democratic party.
Upon the Parish Convention is incumb-
cnt the duty of choosing the delegates
who have to make the nomination OF
the candidates for State Offices, etc. The
principal question, however, for the
Parish Convention to decide, IS to de-
termine UPON the mode and time Of max
ing our parish nomination of candidates
for members of the State Legislature and
parish officers.
It was judiciously left, by the Central
Committee, to the voters themselves to
decide whether they shall make those
nominations themselves, at primary e-
cctions. or whether they shall delegate
their power to do so to others. AS for
ourselves, VIC do not wish to interfere
in this matter, although our opinion has
been formed on that subject, and
rom which we see no cause to deviatc.
Let every Democratic voter be at his
post on Saturday, and give full express
zion Of his will on all those important
questions.
