the official journal of the parish of Lafcurche.
printed in French and English, and hitherto neutral
in politics, has declared for Bell and Everett The
Gazette says:
From our mast head we to-day unfurl to the
breeze the names OF John Bell of Tennessee and
Edward Everett of Massachusetts, the standard
bearers Of the Union and Constitutional party.
Under ordinary circumstances, the Gazette would
never have swerved from its neutrality to embark
upon the boisterous sea of politics; but clreum,
stances alter cases and the fact that our country

factions.

split Of that party into what is now known as the
Douglas and Breekinrdge parties.
At the present juncture of political affairs, there
is party which represents a platform long ant
