The Carrollton sun. (City of Carrollton, Parish of Jefferson, La.) 185?-1???, 1860-11-21

synopsis on the above subject. That
paper says:
1--WE find every journal that comes
to hand from this State- giving decided
prominence to the subject of the conse-
uuences of the late election. To meet
the expectation of readers, we present
enough of the leading articles now
before us to show the views of the
parish PRESS
The Civic G uard, published at Houma'
Terrebonne parish, says:
A meeting has been called to con-
slider the great issue now before our
people.
We can inform our Union friends
that the meeting is not called with any
view to fostering secession, but merely
to determine on the propriety of calling
upon the Governor to convene an extra
session of the Legislature. Still cher
ishing, after defeat, the same mistaken
devotion to the Union, the constitution
and the laws, which we proclaimed
before the election, we yet feel the
necessity,as good citizens, of invoking
peace and harmony among the people,
whatever may have been their past
| party attachments. Let all SOutherners
unite for the sake of the Union, for
the sake of united South should
disunion-that direst of calamities-be
forced upon US by the precipitate action
of our sister States. A meeting of the
Legislature of Louisiana would, proba-
bly,, retard and check too hasty actions
on the part of other States.
The Iberville Magnolia Qberville
parish) says:
Some of our breckenridge friends,
who were clamorous for the dissolution
of the Union before the election, have
changed their minds already. Most of
them, seeing the disastrous conse-
quences which must follow, do not
like the idea of ''precipitating." They
have commenced the work, and GER
tainly should finish it.
When the roll is called, if called it
is, there will scarcely sufficient num-
Der answer to it to form a corporaps
guard. If ever it becomes necessary
to dissolve this Union it will be done
by the cool determination of sincere
men.
1t is time that the people should
awaken themselves to the responsible
ty under which they are to the country
it is time that they should take the
matter in hand. Insincere politicians
should no more govern; they will cer-
tainly bring on anarchy and ruin. But
from an honest people nothing need be-
apprehended. Under their guidance
the ship of State will sail on through
every storm, the rich blessings which
have been bestowed upon us will be
transmitted to future ages.
The Baton Rouge Gazette and Comet
is opposed even to the calling of the
Legislature. together for an extra
session. 1t says:
We are told that there must be an
extra session of the Legislature to con-
slider contingencies that may arises
this, too, when a regular session is
within few weeks march. Petitions
were in circulation in North Louisiana
but few months ago, asking the Gov
ernor to call an extra session to con-
slider threatened famine inthat region.
Trade is depressed, the crops are short
and the State alarmingly in debt on
her bonds, here on the eve of a general
financial crisis, which is to prove

ever touched her interest; yet we
must have an extra session in order
that certain gentlemen may hear them
selves in spread-eagle speeches, and
after that, convention, involving an
expenditure of three quarters of mil
lion of dollars! Where ia the money
to conse from to pay for the considera-
ton of the contingencies that in all
human probability will not asise !
The Baton Rouge Advocate is ear
nest for called session of the Legisla-
ture, and decided in an expression of
the necessity of taking prompt and
extreme measures for State protection.
The Sugar Planter, OF West Baton
Rouge, gives the following uttesance:
The petition in circulation in New
Orleaps requesting Gov. Moore to con-
vene an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, at an early day, seems to meet
