saEThere is no doubt, that the con-
duct of our delegates to Charleston, in
retiring from the Convention, has met
the hearty approval, not only of the Old
Democracy Of louisiana, but also of all
its citizens whose minds had not prcvi-
ously been warped by protracted and
vain opposition to us Of the Old Guard.
Under the present circumstances, out Of
respect to the wcll-ascertained wishes Of
the vast majority of the people of this
State, it was to be hoped that faction
would have been silent, and allowed the
Convention which is to re-assemble at
Baltimore an unbiased opportunity of
reconsidcrings the platform which it
adopted at Charleston, and which is so
distasteful, not only to the seeding, but
to all the Southern States. But no; who
reckons on the patriotism of the Oppo.
%sition, counts without his host. The
~factionists, heretofore divided into two
hostile camps, with different views and
under different leaders, have united their
forces with the avowed intention Of
going to Baltimore, theresto try to rep
resent the Democracy of Louisiana. Mr..
Pierre Soule of misty renoWn, is at the
head of this most ~equivocal movement.
We think that he and the other leaders
of the Opposition may we'll spare them
selves the trouble of beating up recruits
this hot weather. Their invitation to
citizens generally will meet with but
small response from the conservative
citizens of Louisiana, whoshave always
regarded Mr.. Soule as the embodiment
of rccklessness and revolution.
Again, ever supposing that on dele
gates were tunei o6fcio by the fact Of
having expressed their disapprobation
of the platform adopted, and Of having
retired; we cannot believe. that dele
gates elected by a Convention, convoked
in the terms by which that at Donald
sonville is to meet, would be admitted
to seats in the Baltimore Convention.
Although we would by no means init
mate that our delegates should again
present themselves in the National Dem
ocratic Convention, unless invited to do.
SO, for the purpose of assisting in modi-
flying the adopted platform, or unless
that platform be first changed, so as to
exclude the dogma of Squatter Sover-
eighty. Yet we entertain strong hopes
and wishes that the representatives of
those Southern States who have re-
manned in the Convention will be sue
cessful in the efforts which they will
doubtless make, so to construct a plat
form that all the National Democracy
may again stand upon it, and by it, with
honor. At all events, we protest against
attempt Of the Opposition to occupy
the seats left un6llcd by our returned
delegates. Those seats belong to them,
and to none but them, until the final
adjournment of the Convention; and it
will be an act of usurpation, to use no
,arsher term, on the part of the Oppo-
ition, to attempt to fill them in the
Pointe Coupee Democrat. [volume] (False River [i.e. New Roads], Parish of Pointe Coupee [La.]) 1858-1862, 1860-05-26

TIE SPRING TRADE.-The spring trade in dry
goods would open promisingly for importers, bat
for the heavy stocks on hand and on the way, and
the uncertainties which envelope the trade with the
South. Most of the leading houses, however, re-
port that their advices encourage them to expect
good business this spring, both with the South and
the West Both the cotton and the breadstuff crops
have been good last fall and the stocks in the hands
OF county dealers being SMALL they look for an ac
tive time at the close of this month and next Some
of the Southern buyers are already in town. Their
reports differ to the feeling with regard to trade
with the North. Some of them say that the South
is ready for nonntercourSe at once while others
sert that the noise which is being made is got up by
parties who desire to attract trade to Richmond
Charleston and Savannah, at the cost of New York,
and that the South will continue to buy in the
cheapest market wherever that may be found, with
out regard to political considerations.-NeU York
Herald
