THE New York dry goods dealers
are inclined to take hopeful views of
the next spring trade. One good sign,
they say, is that, at this, the dullest
season of the year, the prices of wool
ems, which have heretofore been more
depressed than any other description
of goods, show decided tendency to
Improvement. There is also tendency
to make speculative purchases. Prints
have reached point which can hardly
admit of further decline, and the next
change, therefore, will probably be up
ward. 4-s

Me White Pine Comnonnd.

III was early In the spring OF 50 that this
family was af1icted with an Irritation OF the
throat attended with dIsagreenbIe cough, 1
preparation having for its basis The, inside
bark of white pine might be so compounded
as TO be very useful in diseases OF the throat
and lungs. To test the value of It in the case
alluded TO, compounded a small quantity
of the medicine that / had been planning
and gave II in teaspoOnful doses. The result
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
days the irritation Of the throat was remOv-
ed, the cough subsidized and speedy cure
was ehected. soon after this, sent some 10
lady In Londonderry, N. H, who had been
suffering for some weeks nom a bad cough,
mucus streaked with bl cd. She soon found
relle! and sent for more. Sne took about
ten ounces OF It, and got we'll. ]. B. Clarke,

case of 4 severe cold and was cured immedi-
| ately. he was so highly pleased with the re-
sults, and 30 confident in success attending its
sales, II placed before the public, that he
send 1t abroad to beneft the suffering. In

Independence Practicable,

Our people are too prone to conceive
that prosperity depends on good Or bad
government. No doubt that under good
government men may the more securely
work for their own good and enjoy the
fruits of it more; but the government
alone will do them little good. The less
indeed that the government interferes
with them and they with tie govern
ment, the better off will they be.
We would not advise men to relax
their effolts to SO shape the measures
and to so use the means now in their
hands as to make the government they
have as light in ifs interference with
them as possible. For this reason they
should vote in the coming election, first
against the constitution which strives to
tax and burden them more than ever,

t- There was q Warmoth Republican
mass-mecting atthe Court House in Opelou-
sas on Sunday last. The meeting was not
near so numerously attended as have been
such meetings in this place heretofore. The
reason of this, we are Informed, is that the
majority of the colored population in the
Parish are opposed to the Warmoth ticket,
but will make a grand turn ont when the
canyassers for the Talia(erro ticket arrive.
The orators of the occasion were Simeon
Belden, once a rebel officer in the Yellow
Jacket Battalion, Charles Hughs of New
Orleans, black, and George Jackson of this
Parish, freedman, late delegate to the Black
and Tan Convention, and, we believe, the
best speaker of the three.
After the speeches, which we only heard
in part, were over, the committee retired to
draught resolutions and after considerable
delay, returned and reported that they
could not agree-a majority thereof evi.
IDENTIFY being in favor of Taliaferro, though
the officers and speakers of the meeting
were for Warmoth.
