SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1856.
Let the South Beware.
The late accession to the ranks of the
Democracy of Wm. Loyd Garrison, Wendal
PIbillips. et id omne genus, 'as fallen upon the
South like a thunderbolt. It is an old pro
verb, but none the less true for being old, that
a man is known by the company he keeps.
Apply it to .Mr. BOcaXAN. First, we see
coming over to his support such staurch
freesoilers, as John and Matty VA..x R a J ,
Brstow, Drx and a host, of a similar stripe,
fallowing their footsteps only a little way off,
comes the abolition gang, led on by that
black fiend, G.Raison . What does all this
mean.? Let the South beware how they
consider the question, for its solution involves
their very existence.
Mr. B Hueaxsw 's soundness upon the
asavery question has always been doubted by
a large portion of the South. His public car
reer has furnished no evidence that he is a
friend to Southern institutions; on the con.
trary, we have his own assurance, that he is
opposed to slavery as a moral and political
evil. Since his nomination he refuses to
speak on the subject, hence it is both proper
and legitimate, that we should judge of his
sentiments, by those of his friends. We have
no other criterion to go by, so long as he
keeps his mouth closed.
Well, taking his supporters as the index,
what a warning do we have presented to the
South I Car, there possibly be any soundness
in a man, who-can enlist the sympathies of
such a foul hood of political Harpies, as the
VAS Busnrs, BENToN. Dix, and last but not
least, the GAaalsos, PHILLIP. and their fol
lowers? It cannot be possible. These abol
itionists have not given in their adherence to
BTuHTnanN, without the assurance doubtly
sure that he is all right "on the goose ques
tion." nor without the promise of large re
ward. Elevate BUcaAs.As to the presi
dency, and we shall see this very class of
men his chief counsellors. There can be no
question about it. These abolitionists have
never yet deserted their party nor renounced
the principles of their infamous creed, and
they are not now going to do so, by giving
their support to the Democratic ca didate,
unless they are certain to be the gainers
thereby.
We all remember what a hue and cry-the
Democratic party raised against Gen. SCOTT,
because W. H. SEWARD supported him. From
one end of the South to the other the old vet
eran of a hundred battles, was denounced as
an abolitionist, simply, for this reason. What
have this democracy now today ? They are
speechless, and well they may be. Power
ful as the democracy is, such a weight as it is
now compelled to carry. must crush it to
atoms.
s.acan BAsaacuo.-The friends of
FtlU-oas and Doxaason of our parish will
give a grand batbecue on the 20th inst., near
the dwelling formely occupied by Mrs. Pope,
about half a mile from the ferry landing.
All those disposed to contribute money, eat

The difficulties in Kansas.
Each mail and telegraphic dispatch from
the North brings to usintelligence from Kan
sas, that cannot fail to awaken in the minds
- of every true lover of his country. apprehen
sions of the most fearl'character. Disguise
the facts as we may, this ill-fated territory
is fast approaching a crisis, tlat must inevi
tably involve in the struggle. not only the
contiguous States, but the entire countlv -
Already has the reign of mob violence been
succeeded by that terrible and fatal scourge
of the ancient ReIpublics, Civil War. and
none but lie, who guides the destinies of
: nations, can foresee the result.
We know there are many who think, or
affect to think, that these ditliculties are
greatly exaggerated, that the dangers pre
dirted from them ate witout any foundation;
but all such are blind to the real state of
things. It is the change of the issue from a
mere local contest for supremacy, to a sec
tioral one, arraying the South against the
North, that gives such awful significance to
the struggle. Kansas is not now merely the
theatre of a war between rival setions of a
territory, but the battle-field, where the
North and the South are marshalling their
armies against each other to determine, not
only the late of Kansas, but the Union. Is
it possible then for human invention to exag
gerate the dangers that at this moment threat
en us? Disunion and its fearful consequen
ces stare usin the face-not a peaceful sever
ance of the bands. that have so long held
this Confedracy of States together, but a vio
lent and unnatural disruption.
It becomes under these circumstances, the
duty of all who love the Union, by which
we have achieved so much greatness and re
nown, to seek out a iemedy for these difficul
ties and apply it. But how shall we discover
a remedy i To do this. we must go back to
the origin of the disease-we must enquire
into the causes that produced it and then we
shall be prepared to prescribe intelligibly.
Upon the present administration, and the
party whichsupports it, we charge all the
troubles that now afflict the body politic.
Does any one deny the charge, we refer them
to facts that cannot be gainsayed. Recall the
state of the country when the present ad
t ministration came into power. It waQ en
joying vigorous health end prosperity. Good
fellowship and harmony pervaded the length
and breadth of the land. and the future prom
ised nothing but a continuation of these in
estimable blessings. The Democratic party
owed its elevation solely to the fact, that it
was pledged. yea. solemly pledged nto crush
in the bud all attempts to renes t'e agitation
of the slavery question ; and had it adhered
faithfully to this pledge. we should not now
behold our land stained with fraternal blood
5 and threatened with desolation and ruin. But
the Democracy disregarded their promises
the moment they assumed the reins of power.
They sought the first opportunity to hurl a
t fire-brand in the midst of the inflamatory ma
terials around them and the consequences, as
was foreseen, have been a general conflagra.
t tion. Not only was the present tdministra
tion g'uilty of kindling the flames, but it has
shown its utter incapacity to quench them or
retard their progress. To remedy this sad
condition of things then, it is evident, we
must remove the cause. A mere change of
administration, wll not have this effect, so
long as the pasty in power is left to guide a
new one. Indeed the Democratic party does
not propose any renmdy--it endorses and so
does its candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, the course of the present
administration, and pledges itself to carry out
the disasterous line of policy. Can any sane
man, who regards the peace and prosperity of
the country of any value then, support Mr.
Buchanan? It is not possil*. He and his
party are pledged, by their endorsement of
the Pierce administration, virtually, to add
fuel to the flames already consuming us. If
the Union be preserved, if the country be
brought back to the flourishing and happy
condition of former times, we must look to
some other source than the Democracy We
must place at the head of affairs, a staunch,
unswerving Union man--one, who knows no
North no South no East no West-nothing but
the Union and the whole Union. Such a man
is the noble Fillmore. There is not a throb
of his heart that does not" keep time to the
music of the Union." besides he possesses the
iron will, that knows no obstacle to the ac
complishment of whatever purpose he may
have in view. Every day proves the neces
sity of his eleetion and every day increases
the chances. The people are begining to
open their eyes to the true issue involved in
the contest. The Union they love and cherish
as the mother from whom they derived their
existence, and all that is wanting to bring
them to its rescue is to convince them of its
danger. Let this be the task of every true
American.
Tar GERMANS rog FIrEMON.--German
Fremont meetings, says the Richmond Whig
of the 23d, are being held throughout the en
tire North. It seems that nearly the whole
of the German vote has deserted the Cincin
nati Democracy, and gone in for the Phila
delphia Black Republicans. A tremendous
German mass meeting was held in New York
city night before last. Everywhere they
seem to be entering the canvass for Fremont
with remarkable spirit and energy. What
the Buchanan Democracy can hope for, when
they see their German legions straying off
from them, we areounable to comprehend.
Certain it is, in our judgment, the German
defection in the North will ensure the com
plete and overwhelming overthrow of the
Deiaecracy.

CHaNrrA.-Whether the leaders will with
draw Mr. Buchanan. In view of the desperate
condition to which things have arrived, and
as the only chance to arrest impending evils.
we do not know. At all events, our New
York correspondent, with good opportunities
to know, hinted as much in his letter, publish
ed on Saturday last, and the Washington Or
gan has the following on the subject:
Indeed. so hopeless is the cause of Buchan
an regarded by the Democratic members of
Congress. that it is seriously debated at this
time. whether his withdrawal is not essenti
al to the preservation of the Democratic
party.
It was mainly to discuss this subject, we
are informed, that the Democratic caucus
was held at the Capitol on Wednesday night
last. In that caucus sev eral prominent mem
hers openly expressedl the opinimon that his
election was hopeless, in gonssequence of his
unfortunate antecedents, his Federalism, his
anti-slavery sentiments, his participation in
the Ostend Conference. and his complicity in
the "bargain and corruption affair" against
Mr. Clay. The Forneyites in the caucus,
however, were indignant at the proposition
to withdraw Buchanan, and threatened to
break up the party if it were attempted.
IowA.-Notwithstanding the recent Black
Republican victory in Iowa. the friends of
Fillmore are by no means disheartened, nor
do they surrender the State up to Fremont.
On the contrary, a very able electoral ticket
has just been presented, and a correspondent
of the St. Louis Intelligencer expresses con
fidently the idea that it will be successful.
He says there is a perfect revolution going
on there within a few weeks back. It is
highly probable that the Old Line Democrats
now that the utter impossibility of carrying
the State for Mr. Buchanan has been demon
strated, will unite with the Fillmore men, in
order to defeat the common enemy. We do
not see what other course they can possibly
take, if they wish the defeat of the disunion
ists. It will be recollected that in the late
election the Fillmore men, as a party, stood
aloof, in order, probably, to convince the
noisy braggarts of the Democracy how per
fectly impoten; they were when pitted singly
against Black Republicanism. She lesson
may do them. We hope it will, and we can.
net help suggesting that the lesson ought to
be heeded by Old Line Democrats every
where.-Ex.

By reference to an advertisement to be

the committee appointed for that purpose,
advertise for sealed proposals for making the
necessary repairs and alterations, on the resi
dence of I)r. Enders. to render it,suitable to
he used as a Court IHouse and for the va ious
Parish offices.
Ti'hi'notice is the resuit of the meeting of
the Police Jury on last .Monday. which un
animorily adopted a resolution to purchase
Villa llose..as the future site of the Court
House. In this step we feel assured that the
members of the Police Jury have actedl, not
only for the best interest of the Pars hi. ,.ot
have reflected the sentiment cf ni:e-tenth
of their cons'ituents.
,\' hether regarl-ded in the light of ecoi:o
my or public convenience, the pi:rcrhase of
this property and conseqgient rc;an ,r of the
location of the seat of Justice is crnim.en'ly
wise. It is but a sh.rt time sirne, that the
Police Jury contracted for rlairing the
rickety ol barn of a Court II,,Lse. which
has so long been an eye-sore. to the lride on
our citi:rns. Toe amournr t of this contrart
was near seventeen h!u.dre.l do:!ars. hit
spoin a closer examination. it was fundr that
it w, uld rcqt:ire an aisur:al exiaen.,l,tre if
nearly an el' ri a:nou*nt to keep tihe .,ii barn in

its front, tdies not lhortly reqlirre its removal
and utter hetr, -ition. HIence withi the cmn
sent of the contractor, the contract was rs
cinded and the Parish has now purtnaseP't a
Court ouuse and gronds. s hieh will stand
and be an ornamsent to the Parish ior years to
come The terms upon which the property
is purchased. (eight thousanl dollars. in four
:equal nnual instalments.) will not be felt by
tihe tax pavers.
The co- of repairing tre old Court House.
this year. would pay the interest on ' e whole
amount of the purchase and we are confident
that the annual cost of keeping it in repair
will exeed half the annual payments upon
the purchase and at the end of tour years
leave us without a Court House at , very like
Iv wi'hau~ the grou r, upon which to !build
one. Thuiis it will be perceived that op.p,
the score of economy the pu:rchase is eritdedI
ly advantageous to th.' parish. for as before
stated. the new (',irt louse will be good
when the present cenra'.iu, shall have passed
away, an! the six arperu's of lan! wlhich are
purchased with the building wi I Ie amply
sufficient for all the purposes iler. ledl, and
no caving of the river banks, will ever take
it away.
The location too. is also almirable. It is
at the termil.us of the Grosse Tete RPai' Road
which we are pleased to say is progressing
towards completion. The Ferr . landing will
be removed to the terminnus of the Railroad.
so soon as the new ferry boat (which is now
completed and only waits for water) shall ar
rive. The landing in front of the new Co .rt
House is good and the bank lirm which the
reverse is the case with the old location.
We congratulate our citizens npan this fin
al and very satisfactory settlem-nt of the
Sexed question of the Court Housue and that

that your Court House as visitors to tihe

point with pride to P buddwg that is an

Frost K....As.-The most contradictory
statements are put forth by the St. Louis
papers about the state of things in this dis
tracted Territory. The Rrpublican publishes
many outrages by the Free State men, and the
Democrat, with equal protestions of truth
gives accounts of outrages by the pro-slavery
men. The latter paper of the 23ith ult..
sas s:
A gentleman who arrived yesterday after
noon from Weston. on the Diirid Tatum. re
ports that the most intense excitement pre
vails alo.ig the borders of Missouri and Kan
sas. Of the Free State party men. women
and children were flying in all directions.
While the Durid Tatuin, was lyin- at Lev
enworth, upwards of one hr'dred of these
fugitives went on board. These persons had
lett behind them all their property. which
had been taken possession of by those who
ordered them to leave. The greatest and
most shocking excesses had been committed
a few days ago, within five miles of Leaven
worth.
Instances of shocking barbarity are given
by both papers. only to be expected of sava
ges. Now what shall we believe ? The Re
publican says .
Lane's regiment is said to be fortifying on
the Wakarusa. Lecompton has not yet been
delivered up. nor captured by the invaders.
and the company of Unitedl States troops
still have custody of Robinson, Brown & Co.
We are glad to hear this.
THRnEF FAr.sEHooos ExPosEo.-No. 1.
That Gen. Leslie Coombs supports Blchanan
Gen. Coombs, over his own signature, de
clares himself in favor of Fillmore.
No. 2. That both sons of Henry Clay are
Buchanan men. Thomas H Clay is not on

of the American State Council of Kentucky.
No. 3. That J. Scott Harris, the son ofex
President, is a supporter of Buchanan. He
goes for Fillmore with zeal and ard.,:'.
We could give other prominent illustra

sought to be played by our opponents, but
the foregoing will suffice for all practical
purpose.
