We learn, with great surprise, that many
worthy people of Claiborne are of opinion
that if they vote for the Constitutional
Amendments, and IL they should he adopt
I'd, that we will have no Convention.
We take this opportunity to assare our
readers that slch is not the fact. II the
Legislature should obey the will Of the
people a Constitutional Convention will
be called whether the Amendments are
adopted or not. If tue people wish to
vote for the Amendments this is 10 reason
why they should fail to do 20. The sense
and the wishes of the people, a. declared
BY the pArochial mass meeting. and Con.

Our people were Of course disappointed
on Wednesday last, when it was annonnc-
ed that Gen. King would not be preset at
the public speaking, but when the reason
for his absence WIS made known there were
no murmurs of discomfort Gen King,
sent most able substitute to fill his place.
Senator Ellis, of Fsrmeryille, is already
fAvorably known in our parish, bat his
very able speech o week ago, at the Court
house, gave US IN additional insight into
the many excellent attributes of his public
character.
His address was full, complete and even
exhaustive in it's treatment Of those mat
tiers of special interest to the people Dry
details Of fscts were relieved by beautiful
aud feeling bursts Of eloquence. We have
not the space for synopsis Of the speech,
but those Of our readers who were present
will remember well its effect upon them.
Col. Young delivered one Of his most
able addresses; WA particularly happy in
his presentation Of the financial policy Of
the Democratic party. To the reasonable
mind he proved clearly that Greenbackcrs
could find all the better points Of their
favorite doctrine in the platform Of the
Louisiana Democracy. His remarks taken
in connection with his private character
placed him before the people in most ex'
cellent light.
Other gentlemen spoke but upon qnes
tions which came before the meeting by
way Of resolutions.
A resolution offered by T. Is. Wafer, ia
voring q call for a mass meeting of the
people at an early day, provoked mucl
discussio Judge J. C. Egan, in a mos
excellent argument, opposed the resolu
ton. The reasons urged by Judge J. c
Egan were w pertinent that all, with bu
few exceptions, were convinced Of the jus
tice Of his position. DIR. II. A. Lewis, in ;
very eloquent address, favored the rcsolu
ton, but the sense Of the meeting wa
against him, only five persons favorng tn
resolution. We feel sure that the result o
this public speaking was beneficial one
Surely all laggar,ls in the canse will quick
on their pace after hearing the cogcnt rca
sons for activity presented by Senate
Ellis and others.

The glory and brightness is departing

TO declare that no other community voted

pie Of Claiborne. That feeling Of pride
Is about 10 depart.
To our great shame, lie 1t written, that
We will fold our arms snpinely and LET
others rush forward TO the goal Of victory
while we like towards las behind. Be.
cause, forsooth, We are personally disap-
pointed, we must by our action declare
that We are willing for the State to go t.

Lisbon Camp n Getting.

In company with our young friend, s. b.
AycHk, and two lady friends, we visited
the Camp Meeting, four miles East Of Lis
bon, in this parish. Onr friend, Robert
Parvin, was the minister in charge Of the
meeting, but assisted by many of the lead
ing preachers in North Louisiana.
The camp-ground is situated in a beauti-
full grove near several fine springs. There
are about dozen large and commodious
tents, from which all the principal men,
bers of the church dispense q MOST lavish
hospitality TO all visitors.
We were taken in charge immediate
ly after our arrival, by our much esteemed
friend, Col. J. J. Duke, whose tent seemed
10 be just AZ comfortable as were our own
home arrangements.
We found very many friends at the meet
ing, all Of them glad to see us, as was
proven by numerous invitations to eat, TO
sleep, and make ourselves at home.
We made our headquarters with Col.
Duke aud with Esquire James McClen-
don, diucd on the first day with Dir. r. II.
Pennington, aud took supper at the tent
Of Mr.. John I. Aubrey, who is tentiug
with that worthy old gentleman and earn
eat preacher, James Clement. The Presid
ing Elder, Rev. J. II. Stone, preached one
Of his most able sermons on the first day
Rev. J. A. Miller, and Rev. W. =. Kimball
also preached on the same day, TO the
great ediication Of the people.
Our party left the camp-ground after
evening services and spent the night with
DIR. Pennington, at Lisbon.
On Sunday morning we reached the
csmp-g ground again in time to hear the sec
ond sermon of the morning preached by Rev
J. II. Stone. This sermon was preceded by
a collection taken up by Mr. Parvin. Full
Ter details of our part in this collection
will be found in another column.
On Sunday we dined with our good
friend, James McClendon. Aud right here
we would like to say, that if our acquaint
ances live 10 well when camping out
we would like, for curiosity, TO spend some
time with them at home, where they have
all the conveuiences for successful house
keeping. Their style of living then would
certainly be princely. We do not know
whether it was the bond of professional
brotherhood OF not that procured from our
legal brother, T.. II. McClendon, 70 many
kind attentions towards US. We incline to
the belief that it was the instructive hos
pitality Of the young gentleman's genial
soul. At any rate we were well treated by
all that We met. We had invitation,
enough to have dined a regiment. We
