A Wr4A fe Wie. In all probability the vote of Louisi , ana of the 12th instant is in favor of a Convention to remodel the Constitution of the State, If so, issues of immense 1 importance are te be presented to the oensideration of the public - issues directly or indirectly affecting all those relations and elements which shape in. out and control our civil, social and the political destiny as a people. Every branch of trade and art. every employ ment of commerce and agiicultoae, are in a greater or less degree depend ent for their prosperity and success - upon the restrictions and prohibitions imposed-the privileges and immuni - -ties allowed in the organic, the funda mental law of the land. When the 'I opinions of a people upon questions of such great moment and universal con. cerement are to be uttered in Conven tion through a delegation chosen to represent those opinions, it is but an on. act of justice due to the people to whose to suffrages they aspire, that all candi. a dates for the Convention should pub. licly and frankly declare the principles they entertain and the doctrines they Ey will advocate in their respective capa °. cities as the peeple's delegates; other ch wise the masses, guided by personal predilections alone, must make a blind offering of their support to men, regard w less of the measures they will advocate, d when called to act on questions touch ing the well being of all, and the very vitality of many of the vocations of , life. f One of the most cherished features of every State Government within the pale of the American Confederacy is the people's right of sovereignty-a right inseparable from freedom and in estimable to freemen. It ceases to be I a legitimate exercise and becomes a ruinous abuse of that right when men, careless of their own and their coun try's best interests, make a reckless and f (l servile tender of their suffrages to any t individual whose aspiration may be to I receive at their hands the high power, a and for them to go upon the high mis sion to frame the first, the controlling ti law of the country, without some pre ceding assurance from that man as to the position he will occupy and the 7 course he will.pursue upon those ques- r, tions which is presumed will be pre- tt sented to the consideration of the Con. o0 vention. . E But it is not our intention to write a lengthy article upon the subject.of a people's right to demand, or of the as- tr pirant's duty to make a declaration of E opinion upon the various questions which may present themselves in fra- of miung a Constitution, but rather to saug. ar gest the fitness of the time and occa- M' sioii which will be presented for such W declarations by the assembling of the Convention in Franklin on Saturday next. Weare satisfied that we express h the general if not the univeral senti- no ment of the voters of St Mary, in say- diu ing that a public discussion on that 'e' day of the proposed changes in our present Constitution would be highly acceptable. If there is to be a parish ' Counveution to nominate candidates, bin the necessity of public declarations of ,, this kind previous to the nominations being made must be apparent to every Th one. .tr, Tau CoxavOrTIox VoTE.-The returns from the parishes come in slowly.

In accordance with previous notice, a large number of our citizens con vened at the Court House in this place r on Saturday last. e The meeting was organized by call ing Dr. R. H. Day to the chair, and the e appointing of Dr. Charles M. Smith and S. H. McGill secretaries. Y Oti motion, the chair appointed H. C. s Wilson. Dr. Jamnes Smith and H. C. Cook a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. e Said committee, after retiring for con sultation, returned and reported the if following preamble and resolutions, which, after being separately con sidered, were unanimously adopted. Believing that the general adoption and firm establishment of the doctrines of the great whig party of the United States would redound to the perpetuity of the civil institutions of our country, the prosperity and happiness of the American people, and final triumph of the principles of freedom throughout the world, and that a tho rough and complete organization of the whig party is of paramount necessity for the attain- 1 ment of results so desirable: Be it therefore Re.soled, That we heartily approve of the resolutions and acts of the Whig State Convention. which assembled at Baton Rouge on the 16th day of March last, and es pecially the suggestions contained in the resolu tions of said Convention relative to a thorough and perfect organization of the whig party in this State. d Be it Resolved. That we approve of and adopt F the doctrines asserted by said Convention as the true doctrines of the whig party. a Resolved, That we approve of the nomination d of a State Whig Central Executive Committee, u and that the president of this meeting appoint n for the parish of St. Mary a Central Whig Committee, composed of five members, with ad- U ditional committees for each Police Jury ward in r said parish, to be composed of three members re spectively, which said committees shall act in St contunction and concert with the said State a Whig Central Executive Committee Resolved, That the restrictions imposed by o the present Constitution of this State upon the 0 creation of corporations for purposes of internal b improvement, for a longer period than twenty years, is opposed to the best interest of ourl people and the general prosperity of our State. i F Resolved, That the organic law of our land ai may safely confide to the intelligence and integ rity of the people the selection of a judiciary for sl the administration of those 'aws and the arbitra- w ment of those questions which control their for tunes and determine their destiny. e Resolvced, That if there he a Convention to rE form a new Constitution, the necessities of the e people imperatively demand a full and impartial w consideration of all those restrictive clauses in our present Constitution which cripple the re- ) sources and fetter the commerce and growth of cl our State.

It seems there was no fever in Augusta. The Chronicle and Sentinel says: We understand that Kossuth had telegraphed the proprietor of the United I States Hotel to have in readiness a suite of rooms for him, but when he reached the railroad depot and found no com mittee of reception, not even a crowd of anxious faces to see and welcome c him, he very wisely determined that the prospect for "material aid" was not very flattering, and therefole con eluded not to remain, but to take the * first train for Charleston, which he did, P having remained in the city about one se hour. His presence produced not the ci least excitement and did not call forth the slightest demonstration. So much for the patriotism and real genuine in Americanism of the intelligent citizens n of Augusta. no to Texas and Fillmore.--The Galveston Journal, in noticing the whig meetings th in several parts of the State, to appoint bi delegates to the State Convention, to o be held on the 6th of May next, says: or We think we are saee in saying that *° every whig in the State is a warm ar supporter of our patriotic President, be Millard Fillmore, for re-election, and au that they,, with other southern whigs, woldd moch prefer his nodnination to that of one not committed upon the Compromise measures, and who may to be backed by designing ultra men for in selfish purposes. tet M H Neal Don, the champion of the La Maine Liquor Law, who was a eandi- no date for re-election as Mayor of Port- the land, Maine, has been defeated by a de very large majority. The vote was the' ma largest ever polled,. This does not tell joi in favor of tme law. AlSere ame.- that's the true doctrine. aex [COMlMUNICATED.] The Railroad Barbecue. ice, ton- VERMILLIONV1LLE, April 19, 1S..2. ace Mr. Editor--We are having here to day a magnificent railroad barbecue all- for the furtherance of the Washington the and Algiers Railroad. There is a large and concourse gathered from the parishes of St. Landry, St. Martin. St. Mary. C. Vermillion and Lafayette. The enter C. tainment. so highlv creditable to the oas public spirit and good taste of the en ng.' terprising citizens of this parish. is on. drawing to a close, and I hasten to give the you a sketch of the proceedings. I re us, gret that business engagements com on- manded my attention during a part of the entertainment, so that I lost a nnm irm ber of speecheY which are much com hig mended. the But to begin at the beginning. The try, meeting was organized in the Court! 'ln House, by calling the Hon. J. H. Over of ton to the chair, and appointing a suit hig able number of vice presidents, secre i,- taries, &c. Mr. Martin, of St. Landry, was then called to the stand, evidently lily for the purpose of getting up the steam hiI and putting the engines of enthusiasm ton t. in operation. His response to the call In- evinced in the speaker an acquaintance .h with the subject in hand, and a zealous disposition to push forwardl the enter pt prise. Ernbracinur. perhaps. too wide he a field. and touc'hinu upon too many ,n diverse object,. this speech lacked that e, unity of de-i·,, and precision of argu eig ment so necessary to force conviction If upon the mind of the hearer. But to " stir the heart, not to convince the head, in seemed to be the object of the speaker, te and perhaps that was the ruling object of the occasion. This speech, which ie upon the whole may be pronounced to al be fair, was followed by one from Mr. a Y Dupre. of St. Landlrv, delivered in l French, with all that fervor of manner 0 id and fluency whose musical accent andl silvery into:ations captivate the ear, b - which, peculiarly characteristic of our I r- educated, creole orators, find way so a to readily to the heart of a creole audi- c le ence. The attention of the assembly W at was enchained dtlurin the time Mr. c Dupre occupied the stand. and at the close the most tumultuous applause be- p spoke the general approbation. I ' Mr. D. D. Richardson, of St. Mary, ti e was then loudly called for, who mount- it ed the rostrum, and! in a speech of about v e half an hour's length aroused a degree r of enthusiasm in the meetinig which fc iro speaker that preceded was able to ti reach. It was indeed one of his best n efforts, and commanded universal ap. t plause. He took many. who when he I arose were expecting less from him. tt completely by surprise. I would like, to did time and space admit, to give you al a sketch of his remarks. but it must to suffice to say that they were to the at point, and delivered with excellent c( effect. th MI. T. C. Nicholls.pf St. Martin. in tit obedience to a loud call from every nO quarter. ascended the tribune and made f' a speech in the Fiench language. char- a acteristic with purity of expression and tri elegance of maniner, and that point and vivacity withal for which as a very ur young man he is fast becoming dis- bD tinguished. His remarks were most hp favorably received, and often inter- ch rupted by hearty cheers. You will wi permit me to say ill passing. that I re- m: gard Mr. Nicholls as a young man of I m: much promise, and as an elegant and rel and effective public speaker he will. if th occasion favors, soon become distin guished. mi The hour for dinner now having lig arrived, the meeting adjourned to the th long table stretching along the court .yard, laden with the well-cooked meats the and ether viands of every necessary pre variety. To see the hungry crorwd ad- rel dress themselves with knife and fork to Vh the work before them, Peter Pindar. i were he present, might well exclaim, the " The turnpike rad to people's hearts I find the Lies thro their mouths. or I mistake mankind." n For I can assure you that - " Dire was the clang of plates, of knife and fork That merciless fell like tomahawks to work." The dinner dlid much credit to the committee of arrangements, and es pecially to my friend, John Ricques. who catered for the occasion, and who was evidently flushed -not a little with pride at the compliments which were so generously bestowed upon his barbe cue dinner. After dinner the crowdt reassembled in the Court House, and listened to a number of speeches, which, from busi ness engagements, 1 was not permitted to bear. The warmest enthusiasm in favor of the proposed road pervaded the assem bly, which augurs well for the success of the enterprise. Judge Overton being one of the commissioners to obtain subscriptions, met his Court here at the appointed time, and stated to the mem- ( bers of the bar, the officers of the Court, and the litigants in attendants, that as the time for obtaining subscription was I short, he begged them to permit him to adjourn the Court to the first Monday t in August, so that he might be permit ted to employ his time till the first of May in visiting the planters of St. Landry, &c., to press upon them the' neceassity of subscribing liberally to the great enterprise in which he felt so deep an interest. No objection being I made, the Court waf accordingly ad. journed. a A very general and strong desire is b expressed by gentlemen from the sev. a eral parishes represented here, that the citizens of St. Mary would get up a barbecue for the same object at Frank lin, or some other point, at as early a day as possible. Cannot this be done? Is there not -zeal enough among the' 'friends of the measure in St. Mary to respond to this call? While our sister parishes are wide awake, shall our parish be asleep to this great move ment in which she has so deep an io terest ? What say you. Mr. Editor ? ('an we not have a railroad barbecue at Franklin ? Can we do nothing to get up the steam for our RAILROAD? ODD-FELLOWS' AsYLUM.-We learn from the New Orleans Bee that a pro. positiwn is pending before the GrandR Lodge of the Southern Distri2t of New York, to establish an asylum for aged indigent members of the Order of Odd Fellows. The plan suggested is the purchase of a tract of not less than 50 acres of land, in the vicinity of New York, and the erection of the necessary buildings thereon, the occupantsthere of to contribute in part to their main tenance by such light labor as they may be able to perform. [ We learn from the New York Express that the liquor bill lately intro duced in the Legislature of that State was defeated in the House by a majo rity of 24 votes. that i MR. FILLMORE.-The Richmond Re 'gu- publican thus replies to the New York tion Tribune in behalf of Mr. Fillmore: t to The Tribune admits that the South tad, can obtain the nomination of Mr. Fill eer, more. If she can, then she ought to do ect it, unless she is recreant to her own ich generous character, and blind to her own true policy. The northern man to who dares to face northern prejudices, Mr. and who holds fast to the helm of the in Constitution in the face of such a storm ner of fanaticism as assailed Mr. Filjmore, ndl deserves a better fate than to be east overboard as soon as the skies have tar, become clear and the waters smooth. our If the South is to sacrifice her champions so at the bidding of her enemies, how di- can she expect that any northern men blv will hereafter dare to maintain her . constitutional rights? Bear it in mind that, according to the concession of the reat freesoil and abolition' organ. Mr. be- Fillmore can obtain the nomination. It will be the fault, the fear, the ingrati ry. tude of the South if he does not obtain it- it. But. then, he cannot command votes in Western New York! Now even if this were true, look, southern ee men, at the reason the Tribune gives ch for it. Because there are many aboli to tion voters in New York, and they will est not sustain Mr. Fillmore because he is true to the Constitution! Ah, there's he the rub! And so southern men must nominate some man who is not true to n. the Constitution, or who is not known ce. to be true to it, that he may obtain on abolition support! Are yeo prepared ,,t to make this "'agreement with death he and covenant with Hell?" We think not. As we have already said, this' isa t contest. not between men, but between the Constitution and practical nulliicfa. in tion, and if Mi. Fillmore lose the nomi rv nation on account of his loyalty to the le former, the whig party, which is the Iparty of the Constitution, is defeated at the start, and the higher law is in iti triumph. id At the same time we would not be ry understood as declaring that no man is- but Mr. Fillmore can receive the sup port of southern whigs. We do say. however, that he is by far their 6ist '- choice, that they would surrender him ill with extreme relnctance for any other e- mani, and they will give him up for no of' man who is not equelly sound and di reliable as himself in his support of the Constitution and the Compromise. n- EXPLOSION ON THE GLENeoL--Pro raised Disclosures.-The St. Louis Intel 9 ligencer. of the evening of the 8th, has e the following paragraph: rt It is stated that John Ryan, one of s the .engineers of the Glencoe, mne, y previous to his death, disclosures in I- relation to the blowing up of the boat, O which, at his request, were reduced to writing, and will be furnished for pub lication. They cannot fail to interest the public. It is quite evident that there was a screw loose somewhere, and Mr. Ryan's death bed statement may, and will, in all probability, throw some light on the subject. Dickens's "Bleak House."-The Lon don correspondent of the ,National In telligence, under date of the 18th of March, says: Bleak House has had the largest Sale of any of Mr. Dickens's serialsi o far. The first impression of 25,000 cojlt. was swept up by the trade at once; 20,000 were put to press immediately after, which have been neatrly ds1iied of.
