ORGANIZE.

Let every Union man in the county
wake up at once and go to work for
the success of the principles of the
Union party. The platform is broad
and comprehensive enough for every
msn who is interested in the restors-
ton and perpetuation of the Union,
who wishes that the Government
should keep IFS fame untarnished by
the payment of all its debts--wheth-
or to the disabled soldier, the widows
and orphans of those who fell In SER
vice, or those who, relying upon the
honor and stability of the Govern
ment, accepted such terms as were
offered, and furnished means for
crushing the rebellion.
Now the campaign is actually be-
gun--the principles of both parties
are before the people-choose We at
once and work! Organize every
school district. Do not delay, bat
commence active warfare at once.

Mr.. Ashley said in lis late speech
on impeachment -
Mr.. Speaker, time and truth ever
more vindlcate the right. When this
House, but two short months ago,
voted down this proposition said
let the loyal men of the nation keep
heart and await the logic of events.
l know tbat by the vote which this
House is to give to-day 1 shall be
vindicated, as will every man who
has been from the first for impeach-
ment. But though l shall thus be
vindicated, this is not to me an hour
of exultation and triumph, but of sad.
ness, rather. Far rather would that
every charge which / have made
against the acting President of the
United States should fall to the ground
il untrue, than that it should be sus-
tained if wrong.

The OPELorSzSN RAILROAD LAND GRAM w.
have received from lis. sluires, secrets.y of the
Opelousas Railroad Company, pamphlet COPY
of the letters addressed to President Seger by the
Hon. Henry Boyce, of Rapides, Hon. John B..
Robertson, of this city, and George W. Reed.
Esq, Of the parish of Celcasieu, 10 reference TO
the proposed forfeiture of the land grants made
to the company some years ago by the United
States government. In these letters the question
is very ably argued-so ably that no sound iurist
or sensible man can come to any other conclusion
than that the forfeiture of the grant would not
only be an act of great injustice to all parties
concerned, but one of the most impolitlc things
the United States government could DO, in vie "
of its own interests. It is probable that the ex-
ceptional character of this case and the manifest
advantages which will accrue to the United
States, as well as to our impoverished people Of
all classes and races, which viii result from the
extension and confirmation of the grant. will
cause the Senate TO pause before the action of
the House of Representatives is approved.
