Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest mdcheapest protec
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon
ger IA matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec-
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment at
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece
dented," would cordially invite all our citi.

A ball.
A friend at Independence, Iowa, forwards
us Ball Ticket of which tho following is
| copy. II will be seen that the Republicans
of independence have progressed so far to-
wards the political millennium promised us
by Mr.. Seward as to "honor" themselves
by an association with "colored gentle
man" named Malon Shavours, as one Of the
Floor Managers of Grand Wide Awake
Ball." Hon. Mr.. VAxDEvER, our NJ. C., is
one Of the Honorary Members of this select
affair. "All Republicans invited without
distinction Of colof!' ff"
Those who fancy such entertainments will
attend them; but we would smile to see
the Republicans of independence come to
McGREcoE and confer with Captain Naval
on the propricty of getting up Wide
Awake Ball in which his lady, his sister
and the wives and daughters of the men,
bers of his company would be expected to
waltz with 'colorcd" gentleman We
fancy that auburn hair of Homer's would
rise like "quills of fretful porcupine'
would seize his lamp, fire its contents down

tarThe Courier has the following, in
relation to the card of E. w. Robert
son, which we publish above: "Dr.
Deloney, who labors under the halluci-
nation that a lifelong pursuit after the
honors and emoluments Of Office, makes
him out an old J%acksonian Democrat,
comes out in yesterdays Crescent, which
we may consider as the organ of his
grand combination scheme, if, indee, it
has an organ, and gives his account as
to circumstances under which Col. Rob-
ertson signed the document. We have
not space at command for the whole of
the Doctors statement, but in justice
we must find room for this part of it."
Meeting with the Colonel at the Har-
ney House the evening before | left for
New Orleans, | handed him the paper
in question. He read it over carefully,
and said it embraced his views in the
matter proposed, and that it was right
and Democratic il its suggestions. He
then read it a second time more criti-
calIy, and suggested to me to add the
word "Democratic,o before the words
Estate Convention" | informed him
that that was the Convention alluded to,
and had no objection to making it more
explicit by adding that word, and did so
IN his presence. He then observed that
he was willing to sign it, and did so,
adding that it was what he had all along
contended for.

cool and clear as usual when he put his
name to the paper. In reply, I stated
to him substantially and truly the words

his former declarations that they were

~'N>
MEssRs EprToRs: In the n. O. Crescent
of yesterday, | find a call or rccommen-
dation, which bears my signature among
others, 70: the people, irrespective of
former political differences, to meet in
their respective parishes to send dele
gates to the Democratic State Conven-
ton to assemble at this place, for the
purpose of sending delegates to the
Charleston Convention. 1t is not for
me to question the motives of others
who have signed this call. AS for my
self, | do not hesitate to say that | was
in error, and I believe so far from its
having a tendency to unite, the call will
create divisions and DISCRIMINATION in
that party to which I owe allegiance.
From the circumstances attending it's
circulation, for signatures and its publ
cation, I believe it to be a "Trojan
horse" calculated to destroy the very
existence of that organization for which
| have battled Through evil as well as
good report" Permit me here to say
that we have already, in this State, ele-
mcnts Of discord in the party which it
would be better for US to cndeavor first
to heal and to harmonic before calling
i'll our opponents to create further dis
cord.
While fully endorse the sentiment
that the South should be united, in the
coming Presidential contest, irrespoc-
tive of former political differences, in
order successfully to combat the enc
mics of the Constitution and the Unibn,
patriotism alone should dictate the
course to be pursued by those who have
heretofore opposed the Democratic par
ty, without an invitation to that effect.
Besides, the democracy Of each parish
having a right to organize in their own
way, and to send whom they please to
represent them, as was the case in the
last Democratic State Convention, I be-
lieve the action taken in This call to be
unnecessary. have no excuse or apol-
ogy to offer for signing my name to that
document. | took the responsibility Of
signing it deliberately or otherwise, l
nov claim the right to have it erased,
and do not desire it to remain for the
mere sake of consistency.

e@g~At a meeting Of the Democratic
Parish Committee Of the parish Of Or
leans. held in New Orleans on Monday,
February 9th, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted, and ordered
to be published:
Resolved, That tie recent oyerturcs
issued by Nessrs. DeIoney, Gray, Her
ron and others, to the Know Nothing
and other opponents Of the Democratic
party, to come into the Democratic pri-
mary meetings on equal terms with
Democrats, III the selection Of delegates
to the Democratic State Convention at
Baton Rouge, is a proposition for the
dissolution of the Democratic party,
! which we cOndem as faithIess and pre-
sumptuous.
Resolved, That in the opinion Of this
committee, no man can rightfully vote
in the approaching Democratic primary
meetings, who has not heretofore sub
scribed to its principles and voted for
its candidates regularly nominated ac-
cording to the usagcs Of the party; and
that to receive adhering members of an
adverse organization as free to vote III
our meetings, is to put the party, its
principles, and its candidates, at the
mercy of it's enemies.
Resolved, That the effect if not the
design in the city of New Orleans, would
be to throw the control of the election
of delegates to the Democratic State
Convention into the hands of that or
ganization of their adversaries which
has so long ruled the city by secret dis
cipline and intimidation-a result net to
be desired by any Democrat who has
not disappointments to avenge by the
destruction of the party.
Resolved, That this committee ear
nestly recommend to the Democracy of
this parish to be vigilant at the polls on
the day fixed for the selection Of dele
gates to the Baton Rouge Convention,
and to scrutinize carefully the claims Of
all who may present themselves to vote,
and who are not known as members of
our organization.
