sentative in the lower branch of the Genera
Assembly:
Capt. ALLEN has not only made his mari
aslone Of thu most talented, but also one o
the most influential Representatives in tn
present Legislature. His devotion to the 10
cal wants of our Parish, is a subject of uni

his attention to the general welfare. pthin.
escapes his intelligent and Industrious atten'

passage of many wholesome laws, but ha:
been equally as serviceable to the State ir
preventing the passage of those of doubtful
if not bad policy.
OF the first named. it is sufficient to men,
ton the Bill to provide for a geological sur

| are indebted for the Introduction and passage
of this bill, and if he had done nothing more,
that measure alone entities him to the graft

man who desires to see the wealth and re-
sources of the State developed.
A Conservative sheet speaks very lightly
of Col. H. W Allen, the worthy Representa-
tive from West Baton Rouge. who lately in-
PRODUCED resolutions in the House in relation
to our federal policy. These resolutions are
sensible, and deserve the appreciation OF all
good Southern men and Col. Allen merits
credit for their authority. Conservatism
in its present sickening formulas become a
foul word for the mouths of all men. who do
really love tine South. This sham conserva-
tive-U prating stuff is all nonsense; we
have danced to it's deluded music long enough.
There are plenty men at the North this very
moment who would with gocdly gnsto cut
the throats Of any of these miserable courage

the South. These men spaniel like, are con-

they will tell you that it won't do-that we
are in the minority-that we must keep Oh
the good side of our Northern friends. 1t NAV
seem strange but we strongly believe that
there are milk-and water conservative men
at the South, who would. in preference to
raising. their hands against their Northern
enenies-would let GTeely and his tribes en-
ter the cabins and take away their slaves.
There ought to be a severe punishment on all
such conservative cowardice. But then we
suppose it is all right, for the good book says
blessed are the peacemakersw
Such men as Col. Alle0 are worth a host of
your Union loving towards. Give us the man
of spirit and resentment. any time: in prefer
ence to the fawBing menials WHO gloat over
and blasphemy. The memory of
such a man as Allen, will live in the hearts
Of good men, to time memorable, when that
of the assailiant ours will long be numbered
among the things that were.

Don't be at all alarmed for the precious
Long Tails, Mr.. Mac. If Mr.. DOUGLAS re-
ceives the nomination at Charleston, in less
than three months after, you wont be able to
find a man who will acknowledge that he
