FoRrY THorsAND.-Few seem to know
the reason Of the adoption of Governor
Wicklife's ridiculous resolution by the
Squatters, who had sworn that they
would take no platform save the Cincin-
natl platform, pure and simple. without
the dotting Of an ] or the crossing of a
t.. Some objections were made to it at
first, bus rs. soon as Bob Wickliffe stated
that its adoption would be worth forty
thousand votes, there was a universal
clamor for it, and it was passed unani-
mously, votes being the very thing they
wanted. If some one had suggested
that the incorporation Of Mormonissa in
die. platform would bring a few votes, to.
the ticket, we have no doubt that poIyg>
amy would. befbre- this, have become a
principle of tie SqAa3ter Sever

| Editor Democrat:
The work goes bravely on insthis
quarter. Although the weather is ex-
cessively hot, meetings. r daily Or
nightly held in this place Or its vicinity.
Last week a meeting was held at the
Greenwell Springs, which was addressed
by Hon. T. G. Davidson and P. D. Hardy,
Secretary Of State, on the one side, and
Heron and Stuart ON the other. From
the we'll known mental calibre of the
parties engaged, and the nature of the
cause espoused, you will easily perceive
that it must have been a one-sided af-
fair. AS the dogma of Squatter Sover-
eighty becomes better understood by
the people, they perceive the necessity
of throwing aside that detestable spawn
of Abo!itionism, and its equally despica-
Bile generators, and of uniting upon the
safe and patriotic principles of the Ma
tional Democracy and their standard
bearers, Breckenridge and Lane. On
Friday a mass meeting was held at
Clinton; the attendance was large and
enthusiastic; it was also addressed by
Messrs Davidson and Hardy. The ma
jority of citizens in East Feliciana were
always good Southern State Rights, and
will continue to be go.

as~Of all the papers ADVOCATING the

DrOf all the papers advocating the
claims of Mr.. Douglas, the New Orleans
Bee, though avowedly a Bell and Everett
organ, goes the farthest in m'srepre-
senting the views, principles and posi-
tion of Messrs. Breckenridge and Lane.
Though serving two masters, where 1t
strikes one blow for Bell and Everett, it
deals ten for the Little Giant. \ person
who would confne his reading to the Bee,
would be led to the conclusion, tina
Douglas IS the only serious opponent OF
Bell andsLincoln, even in the Southern
States.
Now, this course of conduct is so dis
ingenious and disloyal, particularly in
a paper heretofore noted for sobr'ety OF
assertion, and widely circulated even in
this parish, among a confiding and re,
spectable class of readers, that we have
deemed it our duty to warn our parish
toner's againstthe present understandable
and u~naccountable course of the Bee:
and advise them to consult other %oracles,
if they wish for information, as to the
men, conduct and questions OF the pres
ent campaign. We are not becoming
alarmed, as the Bee will, without doubt,
say of us, if it dcigns to notice GU
! modest article; for we do not believe
there are fifty Douglas men in this par
ish. Bell and Everett men there may
be; though we doubt it, as we know
that most of the influential Old Line
Wings have declared their intention tt
support Breckenridge and Lane.
And as it in this parish, sc it is, will
three or four exceptions, in all the Other
parishes of the State. And this the Bee
knows full well, for we cannot ignore
the light of MONDAY. Yet, in the DIES
perate hope of deluding some of its I'm
sophisticated readers into voting agains
their interests and against the South, j
has not ceased, since the nominations a
Baltimore, to dccry our candidates ant
misstate our views, principles and aspi
%ratiOnS.

BREeK1SR1DGE RATIFICATION MEETING IN

astic meeting took place at the Court
House of West Feliciana on Monday
last. The Hon. 7. G.sDavidson, Gen.
Posey, of Woodville, md Hon. B. B.
SHINES, Elector, addressed the meeting.
The old War-Horse made one of his mas
terly speeches. His address, was argu-
m~e'ntative and logical, void of appeal to
the passions, and to hear him was, in
fact, a feast of reason. :
The. State Elector, although be occu-
pied the attention Of the audience not

were received with great applause.

mcnt to protect, when necessary, the rights OF
persons and property on the high seas. in the
Territories, or swherever else its constitutional

On Saturday a meeting was held at

On Saturday a meeting was held at
Bruslc Landing, in West Baton Rouge,
to ratify the nomination of Breckenridge
and Lane. Among the speakers were
+. W. Robertson and Davidson. With
all the influences of ancient Whiggcry
and Know-Notllingism brought to bear
in its favor, you may count upon that
parish as good for the National Demo
cratic ticket in November next.
On all sides, North, Soulh, East, and
West, the conservative classes are flock
ing to the glorious banner Of the Consti-
tuition ard the Union, as held a1uft by
our worthy acknowledgements Brcckin-
ridge and Lane. The Red Republican
Soult, and the Red Sqnattcr Sovereign
Heron, were posted to address the citi.
zcns of this place on Saturday night
last. There was "much ado about
nothing;" agun fired to collect a crowd:
the Red Republican did not appear, but
the Red Squattcr did, and made u long
speech about the "Drcd Scott dccision,'
which, if it should ever get to the ears
of those unenlightened persons known
as Judges of the U. S. Supreme Court at
Washington, will cause them to hide
their heads for shame, for ignorance, as
tutencss, and imbecility.

PHOENIX.

RAILROADS IN LoU1sIANA.-Mr. w. S.
Pike, of Baton Rouge, one of our most
cnterprising andpublic spirited citizens.
arrived in the city last evening on his
way to New York for the purpose of
completing the arrangements to com
mcnce the Baton Rouge and New Or
leans Road as a branch of the jackson
and Great Northern Railroad.
The contract to build this road, which
was once taken by Mr.. Robb, and was
interrupted by the unfortunate failure Of
that gentleman, has been assumed by
other parties, and Mr.. Pike goes to New
York to perfect the plan by which the
road will be put under way by the fall.
Mr.. Pikeis accompanied by Mr.. Durable,
the energetic manager of the Crosse
Tete Road, whose object in going North
is to make contracts and purchases to
complete this prosperous and profitable
little road to the Atcllafalaya, at which,
point it will join the Red River Road,
which is in excellent hands, with large
means, and will be rapidly pushed for
ward. In two or three years we may
thus hope to have IN uninterrupted, di-
rect railroad connection with Alexandria
and Shreveport, passing through the
State capital.
The extraordinary success of the
Crosse Tcte road-surpassing fouriold
the most sanguine expectations of its
and enthusiasm TO the railroad feeling
and movement in the region of Red
River. The present condition of travel
in this country, the Red River bcin.
probably by this time innavigable, thus
imposing the grievance of twcnty-four
hours of Stage travel to reach that res
gion, will tend to heighten this general
demand for railroad communication

The WEATHER. Another week has
elapsed without the visitation of hardly
a single shower. We have experienced
the hottest yet for the season. The
cane fields are everywhere parched, and
many planters complain that the, canes
are dying. The prospect Of even a me-
dunn cane cropis very poor indeed.
