Enthusiastic Political Meeting

1860s newsprint

The Constitutional [Alexandria, LA], September 1, 1860

Catahoula Wide Awake!
Great Out-Pouring of the Union
Men at the White Sulphur Springs!
Tremendous Enthusiasm!!
The Whole Parish in a Blaze!!!

One of the largest and most enthusiastic political meetings ever held in the good old parish of Catahoula, took place at the White Sulphur Springs, in that parish, on Saturday last, the proceedings of which will be found below. It shows that the friends of the Constitution, the Union and the Enforcement of the Laws, are up, and are nobly going on with the good work. We have no doubt that when the ides of November come, Catahoula will roll up a good old fashioned majority in favor of our gallant and patriotic standard bearers, Bell and Everett. May success attend the efforts of our friends in their noble efforts.

A great number of ladies graced the occasion by their presence. This speaks well for the cause of Bell and Everett. We are sure that the eloquent and true-hearted patriot, Everett, is a favorite with all the ladies who honor the name of Washington. . .
