term applied to the Southern Rights
party. But the results of the Charles

ton saddle plump on the back of the
Douglas horse. There were Demo
Gratis in the Convention, as we learn
from the speech of Mr. Avery, of North
Carolina, representing 127 electoral
votes demanding and conceding pro-
lection in the Territories. The Doug
las Delegatesmostly epresentedStates
which cannot be claimed for the De
mocracy-nearly all of them being
irredeemably abolitionized. Yetthest
abolition States made an abortiye at
tempt to thrust Douglas, with his SCAT
ter sovereignty, ''unfriendly legisla
tion," and all, down the throats o
Southern Democrats. And SO attempt
ing they become "Disorganizers," al
every man must acknowledge. They
represented but small portion of thu
Democracy, and even that cannot b
made available atany election. Thes'
things being so, it is plainly seen a
whose door the charge of disorganiza
ton rests. Let the party, and NOR
especially the South, be purged of al
such impure associations.-StaUe Hot

cumstances in which it is now placed
and recognizing the propriety of hay

mocracy in the Baltimore convention
Resolved, That this meeting appoint
five delegates to represent the Democ-
racy of this parish in the State conven-
| ton which we suppose has been OF will
| be called by the Central Committee, anC
it is expected by the Democracy Of
Bossier that delegates will be sent to
Baltimore who shall abide, as we are
willing to do, the action of said Ma
| tional convention.
Mr.. A. A. Abney then offered fur
Their resolution in relation to the plat
form adopted by the Charleston con

Convention at Sparta which was TO ap-
point delegates TO Patton Rouge busted
up, calling another convention on Sat
urday Goth inst. The reasons pf these
unhaFmonious proceedings were on &C

luton expressing the favor of The Com
vention towards Douglas. We could
not expect anything better Of Henry
Gray, who has been doing NIL in hit

is, Of whom caused so much trouble be

!" In another column viii be found
the proceedings of the Democratic
meeting held at this place on Wednes-
day last. 1t seems that it was not the
intention of the Convention to disap-
prove ofthe action of our late delegates,
but merely TO nominate new ones in
time, in case there should be need for
them-as is general anticipated. The
Hon. John NJ Sandidge, made few
snnsible and very appropriate remarks
on the occasion, expressing his devotion
to the Union and desire to remain in it
as long as our Constitutional rights
were respected. These sentiments we
are certain met the appreciation of the
entire assembly, for there are none SC
reckless as to desire a dissolution a:
long as we can receive justice and righl
at the hands of our Northern brethren
But verify, our chances for right and
equality seem to be slim indeed; MOI
do we consientiously believe that the
times are changing the least for ouI
good. It is now time for every true
hearted Southerner 10 stand up for hi:
rights like man of nerve and honor
or if be doesn't do this, let him quietly
submit, and forever afterwards hold hi;
peace. Weakness invites aggression
and it now behooves the South, for be-
own honor, to present a united ant
unbroken front. 8 We ask for moth

has been a singular coincidence attend
ing the statues of Messrs. Calhoun,
Webster and Clay. Mr., Calhoun's sta
tue, ordered for Charleston, was lost in
shipwreck off Fire Island, but finally
recovered with an arm broken, which
was subsequently replaced by Mr.. Pow
ers, the sculptor. The bronze statue Of
Mr.. Webster was lost at sea, and never
recovered; but second was cast from
the same model, and is now in the State
House yard at Boston. The first model
for the statue Of Mr. Clay was lost al
sea. The coincidence is certainly re.

favor the action of the seeding dele
gates. 1t is perfectly natural thatit
should do SO, and we think perfectly
right. We can lay no blame at the
hands of those of our delegates that
seeded when they saw that our rights
were not to be respected. No doubt
but that they done exactly right under
surrounding circumstances. We sent
them there to elect Democrat with
Southern sentiments, and to defeat, and
show nc favor to the Illinois Traitor,
and to the best of their ability did they
do so. Rather than submit to his odious
doctrine Of slavery in the territories,
they withdrew from the convention,
