Of this paper says: that Mr. Everett is an
abolitionist, because he wrote a certain let
ter in 1889. All the reply that we shall
make to the same is short paragraph Ia
ken from the speech Of their own candidate
for the Presidency, Mr.. Breckinridge made
before the Legislature of Kentucky in
December 1859, after he had beeIl' elected
L. :. Senator from that State. Here it
Is:
There is another element at the North,

Of the scattered cohorts Of the old Whig
party, of men Ike EVERETT, Choate,
and their associates, whose conservatism,
culture and patriotism rrbclled against the

Louisiana Democrat and It's Candidate.

unusual was about to occur to break in mp
on the dull monOtOny of our town. At al
early hour in the day people commenced
coming from the country and by /? O'Clock
quite large and respectable crowd haC
gathered to assist in raising the Bell ant
Everett pole, announced to take place al
this hour.
About o'clock Col. II. J. Wells called
the assembly to order and introduced to the
audience our late fellow townsman 4. y. Or.
den Esq, WHO spoke for about an hour, tax,
ing rapid glance over the political contest,
he charged home upon Democracy her
guilt in producing the unhappy hostility
now existing between the different sections
OF our country, her vast corruption, and
her now disintcgratcd and sectional position.
Col r.. II. Mari ofNcw Orleans next came
forward and held the undivided attenthn of
his hearers for an hour and a half. Giving
the history Of the various political parties
and questions now before the people. He
brought out with much clcaness the in
consistency Of Mr. BrcckinriIgc's political
career, showing tha,stLe policy now upheld
and taught by Mr. Douglas is identicallv
the same with that heretofore maintained
as the true Democratic doctrine, proclaimed
from the stump rs well rs in the halls of
congress both by Brockinridge and Lane.
rs well as other prominent men now active
supporters Of Mr. Breckenridge. He por-
traycd i'll vivid characters the black dis
union scheme Of the breckenridge party,
proving from the very letters and speeches
OF the leaders themselves, that their inten-
ton Is to form an independent Southern
cont"dcracy, that Messrs Yancy, Rhctt.

purposes but had actually gone 50 far as to
