Great Union Barbecue IN Carroll
Parish, La.-We find a call for a bar
becue, to be held the 18th inst, at
Joe's Bayou Bridge, Carroll parish, in
the papers of that vicinity. The COM
mittees of arrangements consist of some
hundred names of the influential men
of the parish.
1t may as well be stated here that q
regular organization OF the different
parties in the State is now effected in
all the parishes, and there is degree
of enthusiasm exhibited that has not
often been witnessed. In this State is
seen most singular change of political
affinity among men who occupied prom
inent positions before the pablic.-
Which party will gain the most by the
new positions of these leading men it is
now almost impossible to determine
| The State will be thoroughly eanvassed
by all parties.
r. b. Flournoy, of Arkansas, is out
in letter in reply to parts of Iancey's
! Memphis speech, personal TO himself
in which he denounces Yancey's state
ments as wholly and naliciously false,'
and says he viii be in Lexington, Ky,
for the next thirty days, and after that
in Arkansas. Mr.. Yancey can call at
his leisure. Mr.. Flournoy was the tenn
porarv chairman of the Charleston Con
vention, and is an ardent Douglasite.
The Yanccyites are concerned about
Douglas speaking, says the Louisville
Democrat, whilst he is candidate for
tho office of President. What is 1T their
business The friends of Douglas de-
sis9 him to speak. The people want to
hear in these times of division what he
has to say. He appeals to the people
against a combination as INSCRIPTIONS
as ever was formed; against Prcsi-
dent who has disgraced the office he
holds by stump speaking to elect his
and who is employing against
him all the power of official patronage.
The old party backs who have ruled at
the public crib are against him, anC
using all the influence that official pat
ronage gives them to crush a man whose
ability they envy and fear. They
don't want such President as he woul6
be: II power coming from the people
that they cannot control. Let Dougla:
speak. The Yunceyites can speak, an6
their candidates if they dare; trot then
all out.
Judge G. w. Paschai, late editor o.
the Austin {Tex.) intelligoncer, pub
fishes a letter in the Victoria Advocate
III which, although he says he Is nero
''looker ON in Vienna" he takes strong
grounds in favor of Douglas. He says
~ Recognize the truth that stephen \
Douglas is as much, and as regularly
and legitimately the nominee Of the or
d gauized Democratic party, as Van
! buren,, Cass, Pierce or Buchauap.".
:. This is the opinion of the New Gorl
Sun of Brockinridge's speech;
Mr.. b. backs down from the plat
form of the party which nominated him
and comedies the whole ground Il
those who advocate Congressional IN
teryention in the Territories. If the
tenor fthe speech be correctly report
ed, Mr.. Breckenridge stands Oh the
Douglas platform, and he may be re.
garded as having virtually retired from
the canvas. The speech will not goir
him a single vote North, while it vii
