CJ7*From the New Orleans Picayune we
see, that a Grand Funeral Ceremony is to
take place from the Cathedral ôn Wendnes
day morning the 1st of September, that day
being the anniversary of the execution of
Gen. Narciso Lopez. The Creoles of the
Island of Cuba who sojourn in New Orleans
have resolved to commemorate the memory
of Lopez in this manner, and invite the
friends to their cause, to join them
37?" A head y there has arrived numerous
large boxes, fresh with the smell of Fancy
dry -oris, at the establishment of William
f). Phillips. These boxes herald the ap
proach ol Mr. Phillips himself from the
(»othamite country. When he arrives, we
expect Lafayette Street to be blocked up
with boxes for a few days, and when they
are opened the lair ladies of the city will
be looked for by the clerks to pull them to
pieces. We hope there mi^y be something
!ett in the bottom of "Husband" and "Fath
er's" breaches to gratify, the caprices of the
fashion loving portion of this fair creation.
Torch Lights.
The young Whig, Scott and Graham
Glee CIu'j will have a torch light procession
on the 1 lt,h inst. The yoftng men's Glee
Club extended an invitation on Saturday
night last to the old men's Scott and Gra
ham club, at the Engine hous'e, which in
difference to the young men's the old men's
club accepted. After this the young men s
club sang a song, the alto and base parts ot
which we were en raptured with.
The torch light is to to take place in
commemoration oi the marching in ol Scott
to the rather dilapidated halls of the Monte
zuma.«, where the enlightened soldiary wip
ed out what few traces of the Aztic nation
that was left on "the walls.;'
"Hail Artexomines! yeclat the Great !"
Cannot our locofoco friends look back
into the old almanacs and find something to
make a fuss about ou the night of the same
day ? It would amuse us exceedingly if
we could get the newly organized Demo
cratic Pierce and King Glee Club, to meet
the Scott Glee Club somewhere, to see
which can "4 He." 1 We already imagine
that we hear the voice of our cotemporary
of the Advocate at the head of the Pierce
Club sing out "The members of the Club
will please come to order I"' We have
looked in all our book* to find something to
justify a torch light on the part of the
democratic Glee Club, on that occasion,
and we can find nothing, but a record of
the tact that on the fourteenth of Septem
ber, fourteen hundred and fourteen,
"The King of France with full
Five thousand mea,
Marched up a hill—and then
Marched down again."
Op-lt may be peiceived that we enter |
our third volumn of the ('omet to-day.— 1
.
We look back upon the two complete vol
umns before us and we do not know wheth
er to laugh or cry. W, >r, in» much of

things, and mediocre things, all jumbled up

care not about either one way or the other. ;
tence in the head of the Comet. Some of
the things we would like to take hack—
some we are sorroy were ever put forward
We will bind the books now ; and that
soupd to us very much like putting them in
a coffin fur the worms to eat. Theie is one
consoling feature in this connection, which
is that the fun and pleasure, we have de
rived frdhl these two volumes before us, is
infinite —and it is something that we have
loclced up in an empty corner of our brains,
that we can carry about and laugh at, at
Icaaure If we have displeased anybody
(vve ought to say pleased) we .ire very sorry
for it, and are willing to make any kind of
penance for it, except a pilgrimage to the
Holy Land and this we rannnt do.until the
rail road to that place is finished.
We have had to say just so mnch every
twenty-four hours, and it is not to he won
dered at, tha' now and <hen we should get
hold of some unpopular subject, and in
marching on with it, nuisli the toes of some
of our fastidious fellow citizens.
We arc v«ry fond ol figures— ai ways was
and from our two file belore us vve deduce
th'e following: There is in the two volumns
—nine and a half millions of types set on
end to express ideas ; how many ideas they
have expres ed. we do not know ; the pre
sumption is about thrice that number. We
have said during that time twenty three
millionsY)f things we did riot beii»:.,—four
thmdteed things we knew tobe doubtfully
true—seven thousand lies at the time, and
three hundred and thirty things that are
true. Iu the same time we have made
forty seven thousand different people^mad''
ninety-seven ol whom are "horn mad"—
we have secured the friendship in the same
period, of three and a half men. two of whom
are blind—and one woman.
In enteiing a new volumn we will tn)
to do better, if we fail we shall not weep
more than six weeks about it, but give our
pen a new nib and dash right ahead into,
the destruction of foolscap, and. the unex
plored regions of the time to come in which
the Comet delights to revel.

(j'en. W. J. A. Roberts offered a subtitute,
.
for the substitute. Gen. Roberts'substitute
was a'lojpted. What it was. it does not con
cern us to sny : We want to get at once to
, i( . . , , , . ,
»hat Gen. Roberts said, when he arose to
speak a second time. He said that he held
in his hand a p.vitnble and resolutions.
which he had canlemplated presenting these
thre»* last we;ks, but, had wilhhijd to give
un opportunity to older and better advis
ed (?) Democrats than himself, to bring the
subject forward." As Macawbcr would
cay : " This is the dignity of true modesty,
which is the basis of true greatness/' But
he at ftn"th obtained courage from the
depths of his own consciousness of rectitude
and said :
" He was not without apprehension that
his movement would be stigmatized as a
"fire brand," but he was conscious of but
one motive, which was the rnaintanance of
Democratic principles; the asseition and
vindication at all times, and in all places of
the great and immutable principles consti
tuting the pure Democratic faith. Thus
armed with rectitude of purpose hp was
heedless of imputations upon his motives.
[Cheer&l.
We like to hear a man talk in this way.
it makes assurance doub'e sure that he is
well entrenched with an abiding confidence
in his own immaculate virtue, and integrity
of purpose. None, but a patriot can sjiiak
thus.
Gen. Roberts, did not set down at this,
hut he went 011 with another beautiful
figure about Democracy, and wound it up
with this violent dash at the sublime.
"This association was not merely formed
to elect a man. great and pure as that man
unquestionably was; it was also formed,
for the still greater, still holier object of
v indicating those sa red principles of Dem
racy, which he regretted to say ha'l been
too much neglected by the leaders of the
party in the State for some time past, hut
which, unchanging, undying, would live,
until the last i:reat catastrophe of nature,
[(ircat applausej.
Mr. Roberts having thus prefaced, read
the subjoined preamble aiid resolutions,
which were severally received with rounds
of applause."'
We would like to give the whole of the
resolutions, but cannot spare room for them '
Whereat, The Pierce Pioneers consider it
tobe their duty, in common with every
Democrat in Louisiana, to announce in
terms respectful, their views and opinions
on matter-: of local as well as national pot
ties, which are calcu'ak'd to affect the prin
ciples upon which our part) i :e!.aseil;
Win em. It will be the duty ni every
voter of this State, a* the same time he de
posits his vote foi the person whom he
wishes ro preside over th'S nation as its
Chi. Mag -.'rate, for the nex' our years, to
determine also wh-th. 1 or . ot the Cor.iii

Whereas. We re gard many of its provi
sions, especially tue clauses 111 relation to
the basis of representation, as anti-demo
a|)() ariti _ repll idic an , and subversive
0 f the very ends and aims for which our
government was formed, as it places the
negro slave on a footing with an honest, free,
white population, and gives to the slave
own) . r „„ superiority over those who
own no s javes, iu point of representation ;
be it therefore,
Wnrf. That the Pierce Pioneers regard

From the very botlom of our soul^(if it
has any) we do wish that the sub commit
wou ld adopt such resolutions. I hat toe
people ot the State—iu whose intelligence

shew Gen. Robert and the Pierce Pioneers,
and the sub clubs and executive committees
and juggling mount-banks and professional
office seekers, and the lazy dranes of small
towns and country grog shops, and the devil
only knows what not besides, that they will
not be led from there own good reason and
