the wings numbered 81 and the locos so,
in the old Congress. In the new Congress
we shall undoubtedly stand better. The
probability is that in the Extra Session, the
wings will number 40 or al. and the To-
cofocos but 96 Or 81, making clear wing
majority Of forty :fpe, large enough TO over
come all 'impracticables,' and adopt any
desirable measure of reform. AS there is
also decisive wing majority in the Senate,
it is very fortunate, for never was it more
necessary that an Administration should be
firmly and efficiently sustained by friend

[roR FIJI GAzETTE.l

Mr.. Editor - am an old resident oil
this parish, and c~onsidcramy opinions en-.
titled to some consideration. This cir.
cumstance has induced me to offer some
remarks through your useful paper, which
appears to me TO have steered a proper
course through the political stofm that has
rageG SO furiously for twelve months past.
Although once a warm party man, time
and experience have taught me, that all
true Americans anxiously desire the pros
perity OF our highly favored Republic. The
first question then that arises is, how this
is to be obtained? | answer certainly not
in keeping alive party spirit.
In the two last numbers of the Gazette,
| have seen a move which will lead TO this
result. -Four names have been announced
as candidates, and what | deem more inn
proper is, that mention is made Of calling
a convention at Baton Rouge. What in.
ference is to be drawn from this certain
ly the proper n is, that our quiet village
has been chosen as the place where a SC.
lect few are to issue their orders command.
ing our peaceful citizens to buckle on their
ar,nor and be equipped for the political bat
tie to be fought in July next.
Amongst the names announced, / do
not sec the name of one democrat! !. Is it
reasonable to suppose that the party will
not notice so plain a proof, and attribute
to it the Wings? Why all this hurry in pre-
senting these names? Is it to give an adj
vantage which is often obtained by the
promises of voters? For the gentleman
spoken of as the candidate Gen. Bernard)
for the Senate, | feel great respect none,
| presume, doubt his qualifications. Proha-
bly, your next number will grse the NAMES
of the members for the House of Repre-
s~entatives but before | and many Of my
acquaintance come to any conclusion, we
are DESTROYS 81 knowing whether our vencr.
able friends Gen. Thomas and Or. Scott,
for whom we voted, have declined r~e-eIec-
ton. Although they differ in politics, by
examining the journals, you will find them
always at their post. voting together on
all matters in which their constituents are
interested. This difference of opinion s
of decided advantage, for it sometimes en-
sures success by uniting the votes of their
friends of both parties
My object in speaking of the Represen-
tatiyes of this parish, is that the contest
between parish candidates where parties
are arrayed, always occasions more discord
between our citizens than in contests for
members Of Congress ; and because | am
DESTROYS of seeing the utmost harmony
prevail among the citizens of my parish:
ventureto recommend that no rash
step be taken by either party and further,
to ask. my fellow citizens to aid in gasard-
ing against party excitement from which
good is to be expected. The people are
as capable Of Judging, as any set or clique
who may think proper to dictate to them,
who are to be chosen as public servants.
