The Double Portion,
"And Elisha said, pray Thee, let a


double portion of Thy Spirit be upon me.''
DIR. Kitto's remarks upon this passage seem
to he ludciouS; But where was that double
portion Of Eiijnh's spirit, which his disciple
desired? One would think that it expressed
the possession of, such qualities as should
make him twice as great prophet as his
Master. But it was not so; for although
Elisha became great prophet, and wrought
miracles as great as those of Elijah, aud in
greater number, no one feels that he was great
er, as prophet or MS a man, than his Master,
or SO great. His meaning is explained by the
fact the heir was entitled to double portion
of his fathers goods; hence, in asking for a
double portion of his Masters spirit, Elisha
meant to claim the heirship or succession to
Elijah in his place as prophet in Israel. He
had reason to believe it was meant for him:
but wished to he assured of this by some to-
ken which would he satisfactory 10 himself and
Others"
Christians often refer to these words in their
prayers, asking for a double portion of Gods
Spirit II, according to the above interpreta-
ton, they mean such a portion of the Holy
Ghost as shall be to them token of their heir

| The following resolutions by the New Orleans
Parish Democratic Committee are directly to
the point and speak our entire sentiments on
the question involved:
DEMOCRATIC PARISH COMMITTEE.
SITTING OF MONDAY. Gru FEBRUARY, 1860.
At meeting of the Democratic Parish Com.
mlttee, held this day, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted, and ordered to be
published:
Resolved, That the recent overturcs issued by
Messrs. Delony, Gray, Heron and others ia
the Know Notl'ings and other opponents of The
Democratic party, to come into the Democratic
primary meetings on equal terms with Demo
Gratis, in the selection Of Delegates to The Demo
cratic State Convention at Baton Rouge. is II
proposition for the dissolution of the Demo-
cratic party, which VIC condemn as faithlcss
and presumptuous.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this commit
tee, no man can rightrully vote in the approach
ing Democratic primary meetings. who has not
heretofore subscribed to its principles and voted
for its candidates regularly nominated accord
ing to the usages of the party and that to re.
ceive adhcring members of an adverse organiza-
ton as free to vote in our meetings, is to nut
the party, its principles, and its candidates, at
the mercy Of its enemies.
Resolved, That the effect if not the design in
the city Of New Orleans, would he TO throw
the control of the election of delegates to the
Democratic State Convention into the hands of
that organization of their adversaries which has
80 long ruled the city by secret discipline and
lnt'mldation--a result not to be desired by any
Democrat who has not disappointmcnts to
avcngc by the destruction of the party.
Eesolvsd, That this committee earnestly re.
commend to the Democracy of this parish 10 be
vigilant at the polls on the day fixed for the
| selection of delegates to the Baton Rouge Con-
vention, and to scrutinize carefully the claiu,s
of all who may present themselves to vote, and
who are not known as members Of our organ
zation.
Reso'red, That in conformity with the recon-
mendant on of the Democratic State Central
Committee, designating the 5th of March next
as the day for holding the Slate Presidential
Convention at Baton Rouge, the Democrats of
the Parish of Orleans are hereby invited to as
scmblc in their respective Representative Di.
stricts on Monday, the 18th February next, for
the purpose of selecting delegates to said Con
vention.

Our contemporary the Bee does not Civ,
the grand amalgamation scheme of Heron
Gray n Co. q cordial reception. It docs moi
view their invitation to the members of all
parties hitherto opposed to the Democracy
now to enter its ranks, as being at all magnani
nous, or complimentary TO them. What Her
ron, Gray u Co. regard as quite an honorable
mode of warfare upon the party which they
have betrayed and abandoned, the Bee views il,
altogether different light, and cannot sec
what business the opponents of our party have
in its conclaves; and it very pcrtinenty asks
How can men who are in favor of tcncts and
doctrines against which Democracy has always
set its face, suddenly metamorphose themselves
into patent Democrats? The thing is altogether
impossible. Not even India rubber conscienccs
are elastic enough to bear SO trying an expert
ment.
The Bee, and the people of the State at large,
will soon find that what it styles by most,
unmcrited misnomer, "the States Rights wing
Of the Democracy, have no conscience at all,
even of India rubber, or any other elastic
material, to stand between them and the eff.
forts to carry out their schemes of treacherv
and ingratitudc, and to wreak their vengeance
upon it for having refused to adopt their own
standards Of their own fitness to fill its respon
sible and honorable posts. These men utterly
ignore the existence Of political ethics and their
teachings.
The Bee says that it does not recognize
among the siguers of the Heron Gray mani
ftsto, single Old Line Whig or Americau.-
Is it possible that our well-informed neichbor
is so ignorant of the antecedents of the great
men of the land, as not to know that Henry
Gray was an Old Line Wing in Mississippi, and
remarkable for his zeal in the cause? Does not
the Bee know that DR.. 0. S. Lane, of jackson.
is also an Old Line Wing? As to the political
status Of not few Others among the signers, we
are as much at loss as the Bee, though its
presumption as to their politics may be iusti-
fed upon the ground of the presumption of the
men themselves.-N O. Courier.

Almost Home.

rapturous joy. as he is on the point of receiving
the embraces and greetings Of the dear ones at

the far advance of his pilgrimage, he feels that
nc approaches the boundary line, and will soon
cross over to the land of promise. Many of his
best friends had crossed over before him, and
they have long been reckoning him upward
and onward. They await his arrival with the
joyful welcome Of holy ones. And as tokens
multiply on either hand that the land of Beu-
lah is near, he feels that he is almost home.-
The ripe fruit of a long Christian life is about
to be gathered into the heavenly garner. Few
sights on earth are more pleasing than aged,
