Many persons fear, or afsst 10 fear, that smother

tial contest now than then, but the fatal contin-

The current rate for money on can appears TO

INITIATION OF WIDE AwAKE.--All who
enter the black republican Wide Awake
Clubs, it is said, have, to pass through,
a certain i%nitiatory service, and be sub
mitted to the following catechism:-
@. Do you believe in a supreme po-
litical being? A. do; the almighty
niger.
Q. What are the chief objects of the
Wide Awake Society? A. To disturb
democratic meetings, and to furnish con.
ductors for the underground railroad.
@. What is yonr OPINION on the great
questions Of the day? A. ! believe Abra-
ham Lincoln was born, that he built a
fiat boat, and split three millions rails.
Q. Do you drink lager? A. l am pas
sionately fond Of that commodity.
q. If you are admitted as member of
this society, do yon promise to love the
niger, to cherish him as you would a
brother and cleave unto him through
evil as we'll as good report, and hate
democrats as long as life lasts and wa
ter runs! A. All this / solemnly promise
to perform, 80 help me-Abraham.
The candidate is then invested with
cap and cape, some body gives him a
slap on the side Of the head aud tells him
70 be Wide Awake.

Hon. w. L. YANcEY COMING TO BATON
RoUGE!-A letter to the Chairman of the
Committee ON Invitation for the Breck-
inridge Club of this city, from Hon. w.
l.. Yancey, dated October I'd, brings us
the gratifying intelligence that this
great champion Of Constitutional De.
mocracy will be with us on or about the
23d inst.
Mr.. Yancey has an appointment at St.
Louis, which, if he is able to fill (and he
writes that he expects to ill it), will in.
duce him to speak here before meeting
his engagement in New Orleans. Should
he, however, fail in his St. Louis appoint
ment, and visit New Orleans first, he
will be with us on Saturday, the 9th.
A few days will enable US to ascertain
his movements and intentions, and ample
time will be allowed the people to give
him such IN audience as never before
assembled at the capital of Louisiana.
We trust our contemporaries i'll sur
rounding parishes will copy this notice,
and give to their people a cordial invita-
ton to attend. Let us honor the great
Southern statesman with a turnout
worthy his fame as an orator and gen
tleman. advocate.

DoUGLAs IN New ESGLASD.-The Phila.
deIphia Pennsylvania thus refers to Mr..
Douglas visit to New England, where,
since his nomination, he has delivered
more than a dozen speeches:
In the North, and particularly in New
England, the hot bed of Abolitionism
and reeking with infdelity, Judge Doug,
las has been received with unusual
honor, (D-with huzzahs, speeches, CLAM
aakes and gunpowder in unlimited
quantities. lie has been welcomed by
large assemblages of AboIitinnists,
simply as Democratic disorgani=sr. In
the charming town of Worcester, in
Wilson-Ioving, Snmncr-loving Garrison
loving, Washington-hating, Webster-ha-
ting Massochusefts-inthe town of Wor-
%ccster, where the people, Il year or two
ago, murdered a Deputy United States
Marshal, in cold blood, for having a
week before, arrested, as it was his
sworn duty to do, a runaway negro, and
where, we are informed, there are now
tWo negroes in the Common Council, was
perfectly jubilant V the man whom
these fanatics recognize as the Asod and
front Of democratic disorganization. The
rail-splitting Abolitionists, the i%ntellec,
tual intidels, the friends and admirers of
the "martyred" (hnng)John Prown, thus
manifest how fully they have placed their
hopes in the Disappointing Judge Gong
las. They depend on him helsct Lincoln.
They fete and hurrah over him in all
New England, as the hope of Lincoln.
We do not jest--it is sober, serious
truth. Douglas peculiar friends openly
assert (see Forney's Press of yesterday
that they prefer either Bell or Lincoln
to Major Breckenridge. It's great mis-
take to suppose that Forney does not truly
represent Judge Douglas raews. He IN
qu%estionably echoes the wishes and de.
fines the policy of Douglasism.
