MONROE, May I, 1861

MONROE May Z, 1860.
.Nr. Editor: It is but justice to the young
Ladies Of the "Ouachita Female Institute" to
take this public method Of expressing our OPT
Mon Of the exhibition that took place there on
! the LIST inst.
| 1t was scarcely dark before large crowd
had assembled to witness the coronation. Miss
Philpot--a lady of fine appearance, possessed of
beauty aud intelligence was crowned by Miss
Crownrich "a beauty in all appropriate aud
feeling address. A number of maids of honor
were in attendance, who by their attentions
and sylph-likc movements, threw charm over
the performance which will be remembered by
approving spectators when those who are now
but little girls will be grown into womanhood.
A person, to appreciate such things must be
M observer. No touch of my pen would give
you even remote intimation Of the splendid
speeches, &c, &C., for u look may convey an
idea that would beggar language to describe.
A dance followed, in which the greater part
Of the crowd participated. 1t was grand time;
and if we are allowed to Judge from looks, and
what people say, Monroe was certainly never
in II happier mood.
Then came the supper, and such supper! l.
words fail-an epicure would have been de-
lighted-the fastidious would have had no
ground for complaint. This is nothing new to
the citizens of this place, for they all know that
Mrs. DELERY, Of all the ladies in town, is better
qualified to do up a feast to suit everybody.
The dance was continued until late hour,
when the bidding Of good-byes to the young
ladies was sight as painful rs the forepart Of
the performance was pleasing and entertaining.
May the assembling Of the citizens and school
be frequent, whether it be MayDay or not, is
the ardent wish ofyour humble correspondent.
CUIDADo.

Perhaps the editor OF the Register speaks From

"WILL THE N. o. COURIER CORRECT ?"-Un-
der this caption the Monroe Register. of the
18th inst, has an article In reference to the re.
production into our columns of two articles
which originally appeared in that staunch and
well conducted Democratic paper, without any
acknowledgment, on our part, Of the source
from which these articles were obtained. We
assure our esteemed confiere that we fully agree
with him in the principle "that if an article is
worth copying at ALL it is also worth credit
ing" and that the omission on our part was
wholly unintentional. There is no paper in
Louisiana which we esteem better than that Of
our worthy contemporary, and never shall we
do it intentional injustice. In the hurry oil
getting out our paper, it may happen to us
more frequently than we would desire, to credit
articles to IAN exchange;" and If we do, the
fault must not be rigidly laid at our doors, but
to those oversights which are the inevitable
consequence of the journalistic profession. The
Register may rest assured that we shall have
occasion, probably, more than once in future,
to make liberal extracts from its columns. and
in so doing shall studously avoid any omis-
sions which may lead our contemporary to be-
leve that we are seeking to Use other peoples
thnnder.-[ Daily N. o. Courier.
The above explanation is quite satisfactory.
1t is precisely as we had surmised. Thanks
to Col. Hiriart for the aattering allusion made
to our paper.

rs binding upon the Democratic party at large.
Within the bounds of selfrespect and regard
for the sentiments Of their constituents it was
impossible for our delegates to demand less than
a recognition Of the bred Scott decision in all
its practical bearings Nor could they coucede
to the opinions of the northern delegates the least
semblance ofasscnt, without plain and abso-
Lutte act Of ireachery. Since the delivery of the
bred Scott judgement the Chief Magistrate of
the nation. his CaLint, an overwhelming major
lily OF Democratic Senators and Congressman, the
Executives and Legislatures ofevery Southern
State. and every Democratic State Convention
held in the South, with some in the North. have
given an emphatic and cordial endorsement of
that opinion. In fact, the South looks upon
that decision with sacred love- as though it
were the Thermopyle Of her own safety and the
sheet anchor Of the Union. Had we have aban-
doned the positions enunciated by it, our lot
would have been more destitute and impover-
ished than that which darkened old Lears life
when he gave his possessions to his ungrateiul
daughters. But our representatives have stood
urn TO their trust. The attempt at despoli-
alton has been crushingly rebuked. The gal
liant and hish-spirited patriotism displayed in
rescang our constitutional ghts from the Van.
dallsm ofSquatter Sovereignty deserves and will
get our hearts warmest praise. Who, except the
venal and time-serying, will dare to disparage
this chivalrous resistance?
There are many (and we are Of them) who
most seriously deplore the causes that provo
ked it, but I'VE applaud the loyalty and courage
with which it was made. We would infinitely
have preferred harmony, unless the price of it
was honor and principle. And they were as
inexorably demanded Is Schylock insisted upon
