I'D. Csesesns-A few days ago visited Nor
gangs for the purpose of hearing the views Of the
Breckenridge eleator, Mr.. Simms, the great
question now before the people. On my arrival
there [ ascertained that he was indisposed and
consequently could not fulfil his appointment. In
vain did the Breckenridge party seek for orator.
After finding no one to address them, they in
vted Mi. Fuqua, the Bell and Everett elector, to
make d few remarks. Mr.. F., always ready to
face the music, arose and thanked them for their
kind invitation but, gentlemen,n said he, it
would be unconrteous for me to address yon in
a1lz 10 ri uapt Mr.
present II would afford me much pleasure to adj
dress goa. hope before the canvass is over to
meet Mr. Smisis here and discuss the question be-
Hi. WI Cooley, Douglas man, was then called
on; but he declined speaking.
The Bell and Everett Club of Bayou Sara were
there in all their glo,y. They assured me that
West Felicana would be all right in November
Although Pointe Coupee ii 4 strong Democratic
parish, yet in N oyenber next we will show that
the Bell and Everett men have done the work
