men of all parties to drop their former
political hostility, and unite as a band
of brothers against the aggressive abo-
litionism of the North. He alluded to
the fact of his having supported Doug
las, with fervor, in the late Presidential
campaign. But that now that Lincoln
was elected, he had thrown to the winds
all political prejudices, and was deter
mined to resist to the death al! attempts
to subject the South to submission to
abolitionism and Lincoln. The spirit
stirring speech of Judge Farrar was
saluted at it's close by great and pro-
tracted applause.
On motion of w. Beatty, a committee
was nominated by the Chair to prepare
resolutions expressive of the sense of
the meeting. Messrs. W. Beatty, E..
Phillips, Julien Michel, L. Matthews,
James Gotten, F. Fl. Farrar, Etienne
Major and Clement Enete were appoint
ed on said committee, to which, on mo-
ton, Judge T. j. Cooley was added. The
committee, after a recess, reported the
following resolutions, which were unan-
imously adopted:
LIST. Resolred, That we regard the
present crisis of affairs, as demanding
the earnest and immediate attention OF
the citizens of the South. and that this
meeting recommend that the Governor
of this State be requested to convene
the Legislature AS soon as possible, for
the purpose of taking into consideration,
and providing for the actual emergency.
Cd. That we recommend the immedi-
ate formation Of companies of Minute
Men throughout the State and parish,
for the protection of our property and
the maintenance of our rights, and that
the Legislature be requested to furnish
them with arms and other military mu-
%nitions.
80. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the Governor of this State,
and that they also be published in both
the parish papers.

"a lis we take it for granted, that
Governor Moore will convene the Legis-
latre for an early day, it would be we'll
for the citizens of this State, to weigh
we'll the vote which they will without
doubt soon be called on to give, relative
to a Southern convention, in which their
fate as a people will have to be finally
determined. Great Judgment has to be
exercised in the selection of the lei
who are to represent us in this all-lm:
portant trust; at the same time, express
sion should be freely given, if practical
ble, of the individual opinions of all the
voters, as to the course to be pursued in
this day of danger, though not of dis
may.
For our part, we can not doubt as to
what the verdict will be, when the uni
versal South is called on to pronounce
between herself and the North. No man,
taught by the lessons Of history, or even
the experience of a single life, a
believe, that the Republican party,
flushed with triumph and exorbitant
from success, will bate n little of its
pretensions to domineer over the South
ern States which they already regard
as PROSTATE and at their mercy.
We arc convinced that the stand,
which for our safety we are now com
PEELED to take, should for our honor and
independence have been takenlong ago.
We confess that it is only within the
present year, that we ourselves have
dared "to weigh the value Of the Union"
We hated to think of discovering a
Union, which had been presided over by
SO many men of the South, and for the
glory of which SO much Southern blood
had been shed. But the election of Lin
coin, with the knowledge of his pro-
claimed views towards the South, COM
pels US to regard the people of the North
as our bitter, %implacable, u%nre!enting
and uhtiring enemies, to be satisfied
only with our utter destruction.
Why, then, should We desire to con-
sort any longer with a people, so an
tagonistic to us in feeling, principles
and interest? Why, with n effort,
not heave off this incubus, which is OPP
pressing our energies, strangling our
commerce, and dwar6ng the natural
growth of our national proportions
For the South is a nation, and as diff
ferent from Yankee-dom, as wisdom is
distinct and different from craft; truth
and honor, from guile and love of lucre;
sober, enlightened sense, from unrcason,
ing fanaticism.
The duty then devolves upon our
Legislature, to pass a bill, under the
provisions of which the people of this
State are to be consulted, as to the course
to be pursued, with regard to instant
months allowed us for consultation.
Let them be thoughtfulIy and actively
employed; for (most solemnly and rev.
erently do we say it) Now is the ap-
pointed time, now is the day of saliva
ton"

nOUGIAS AT THR SOUTH.

The manner in which Mr.. Douglas ia greeted at
the South demonstrates that he is outside of the
pale Of the National Democratic party. Unques-
tionably, large crowds rush to hear him, and he is
cheered vociferously. The novelty of his public
position the curiosity to see so notorious person
age, the fact that he is boarding the lion in his den,
all conspire to riyet general attention upon his
movements, and give TO his marchiDgs and counter
marchings more than the usual eclat that waits
upon the peregrinations of conspicuous candidates
for the Presidency. The supporters of Bell natu-
rally throDg around him, for they sympathze with
his covert hatred and open assaults upon the State
Rights Democracy. The friends of Breckenridge
harp on the outer circles Of his gatherings for they
wish TO make a note of his loose sayings, 80 that
they NAV repeat them on the hustiUgs as proof of
bis apOstacy from the true faith. His own follow
ers, everywhere minority but always boastful
aud noisy, furnish the powder and the hubbub that
blaze and roar along his track, while the kilograms
which herald his achievements in glowing lines, are
invented, ard paid for, and sent to the four winds
by the same INSCRIPTIONS band of political adyen-
turers.
One has but to run his eye over the organs
of Democratic opinion in the South to see
at glance that Mr. Douglas has no firm
hold upon, no abiding place in, the party mar
shaled and led by Hunter, Mason, BreckiOridge,
Cobb, Hammond, Davis, Green Bayard, Siidell,
Orr, and the men of that type. They regard aud
treat him as q traitor to Democratic principles,
and az the open enemy of the Democratic organ
ization. The prominent journals Of the party
everywhere hold toward him tone of whitening
contempt, or bitter denunciatiOn. A pile of them
lies before us, whose columns TEEN with the Be-
verest aDathemas because of bis present Z" incur
sion into the South, "nOt" says one Of them, to
advocate Democratic doctrines, bat under the
thin guse of protesting to explain his position, to
tear asunder the sole political organization upon
(Which the rights Of the States and the existence
" of the Union must depend"
Mr.. Douglas has, mquestiOnably large body
of supporters in the Southern States. But very
few of them however, have held leading positions
in the Democratic party while the most conspicu-
GUS have barely acquired standing within the
pale Of that orgapzati IN. One of his most emf
nent advocates in that section of the country is
Alex. H. Stephens. And everybody knows
that Mr.. Stephens won his brightest laurels
in fighting the battles of the old Wing
party. Mr.. Clingman, of North Carolina,
sympathizes with him. And he must BE- assigned
to the same political category with Mr.. Stephens.
Mr. Toombs is said to cherish secret friendship
for Douglas. His fiery will and defiant philppics
give him currency with the fibustering faction of
Southern politicians. lie fayors the acquisition of
Cuba at the earliest practicable moment. He be-
lorgs, by nature, to the same rash, radical, aad

WEST WASHINGTON MARKET.

1t seems that, although Judge Ingraham has or
dered that the City be restored to possession of
Thu property, the States lessee is still collecting
rents from the tenants, on the ground that there
has been no adjudication as to the title The es'ees
are the only landlords that the tenants know, and
although the City officials have made some at
tempts to collect rents, they have been thus far
quite unsuccessful, and seem likely to continue So
II seems to us high time that the controversy IN
relation to this property be brought to some legal
aud final determination. Yet, although IT was
commenced more than two years ago, 1t seems 10
be a. far as ever from being decided. Judgments
have been obtained and set aside, orders have been
entered aid vacated, the lawyers and the Courts
have been busy, but the case seems to have stood
still Now that the matter is in the hands of Judge

The Union and Advertiser has some interesting
reflections of philosophical nature on the trans
formations which characterize our politics:
"0d party organizations have disappeared other. fs
disappearing and still others undergoing radical change
principles and character New Organizations composed Ia part
of unaccustomed to act together OF having different
Presidential preferences and holding different principles
geste pressing issues in process Of fOrmsOa-
Let our contemporary note the fact that tho
Republican party is no longer in process Of forma.
ton, though it is constantly receiving important
additions from the debris of tie broken and dissoy-
ing factions around it. Representing, as it does.
the vital ideas whose abandonment BY the Dems-
cratic party deprived it of all inward life; contend
ing, it does, for the opinions and doctrines Of
the Fathers of the Republic; and with the banner
which is borne in the hand of it's leader inscribed
with the motto of Honest and Economical Gey-
eminent, this party seems destined not only to VIC
tory now, but to long life hereafter. Around the
Republican standard must rally all truly democratic
and progressive as well as al wisely conservative
elements. 1t alone stands for the principles which
lie al the foundation of our great Republican OK
pertinent; and by its triumph OILY can the peace
and prosperity of the nation be easily and perma-
