The 14th of September.

That truest of Democratic journals
in New Orleans, the States, in referring
to the anniversary of that never to be
forgotten occasion, and most glorious
day, the 18th of September, advocates
the erection of a monument over those
gallant sons of Louisiana who gave
up their lives on that occasion lighting
Tor their rights and liberties, aud in
conjunction Herewith reproduces the
following extract from speech of the
late ). Dickson Bruins, and who so
iorclbly and eloquently has spoken of
the ever-to-berememhered day. We
second the move most earnestly, for
those who fought for US deserve the
tribute to their memory
Hang on their tombs the immortelles of
your unfolding love. Mingle with the
dews that weep upon their graves the
tears OF your undying affection, gratitude
and pride. Over their sacred dust, with
solemn ritual and Christian hope, greet
their Immortal spirits year by year with
reverent "hail and FAREWELL" But when
the sum of liberty shall once more dawn
upon this darkened land, and dazzIed by
It's glorious brams, the obscene birds that
now I'LL the twilight with their clamorous
cries, shall have winged their filthy
flight to the dens and caves from which
they trooped, build by she banks Of your
mighty river, on the spot where they fell,
monument whose towering shaft shall
catch the strained glance of the down.
trodden and oppressed of every land,
seeking an asylum on these freer shores,
and warn them with the impressive ST.
ltnce OF Its urlifted finger that the repub-
lie has its duties no less than its privi-
leges Let its legend inspire your chill
dren with the patriotism which animated
their lives and hallowed their deaths for
whom It's pile was reared. And as its
shadow falls athwart the steps of the
pusy citizen, let him pause amid the roar
OF the selfish mart, and remember that
not IN craven laws nor in written consti-
tnflOns, but in the resolute hearts and
strong right arms OF such as it cOn.memo-
rates, lies the sure and sole guarantee of
freedom. So may the lesson be daily en-
forced which all history teaches-from
that earliest page which record shows the
hrst law glver, through an ensaDguined
sea de plte the ldolatry OF the golden calf
and the plague of fiery serpents and wea-
~ wandeIings in desert places, led his
race to a land of promise, down to the
latest which tells how a simple Virginia
gentleman exchanged his reaping hook
Tor the sword with which he entranchis-
ed continent-that no people have ever
yet failed of freedom who have found in
their own hearts the undying impulse
and evolved from their own ranks the
hitting, leader. And He will guide you
out OF the land of bondage who moved
before Israel Of old, '.by day in pillar
OF cloud to lead them tie way, and by
night i'll pillar of fire to give them
light"

GERS aud buyers Of cotton to the following
superior facilities offered by the above

waited tank, constantly filled with water
by means of a steam pump from well on
