IRON TIE GAZErTS.
THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

Mn. lGprron The Bee Of the 22d
inst. avows its belief that tho two pu'ees
signed i" sparticus" and "Iho Wings OF
East and West Baton Rouge arc from
the same pom, and replies to the former
while addressing the second. But II the
Bee will give itself tho trouble to look at the
number of the Gazette in which Spartictt5
appeared, it viii 500 that the editor there
| stated that the Wings Of East and West
Baton Rouge, had arrived too late for that
week. What proves tlat the SANE ideas
occupy the minds Of different portions OF
our population IL, that ono Of said articles
came from the city, and the other orgy"
mated here: But, should the Bee carry IT'S
incredibly further, the editor Of The ia"
zettee is authorised TO assure hun that we
are, in fact, Wings Of East and West ba-
ton Rouge.
The leaders of the Wing party were so
| elevated by the triumph Of Gen. Harrison,
that they believed themselves FOR the tu-
ture invlncible; they believed themselves
the actual agents Of the people, and That
they could appoint II governor without
consulting the people. They accordingly
designated Henry Johnson, in IA conVen-
ton which represented only 20 out OF the
SO parishes in the Observation-Disclosures
ing a large number of Loulsianians minute
" superior to him could have been found,
whose prospects Of election were equally
good, if not better than his but no, they
we're not agreeable to men, whose sole care
is their party, without the first regard Tor
their country.
Since the decision Of the convention,
no voice has been heard against an act ms
absurd in itself as ridiculous in its results.
The wings (aftcr the Bec) enjoyed their
success in peace; and their security was
such, that they looked forward patiently
to the happy moment that should crown
their highest hopes. All at once a cry &!
alarm is heard. Independent patriots pro-
pose to the people the nomination OF a
candidate, who can command the esteem
and confidence Of both parties. The pro-
position is terl:Dle!-the Bee goes frantic
at the idea. II sees in this the image OF
Denis prieur ready to overthrow It's favor
ito idol. Its fears cannot be concealed; II
appeals to the country, and assures it,
readers that bold active wings are locoto-
cos. Docs not this 60 to prove that Den
is Preur is the most popular Creole IN the
STATED All! friend Bee, You have SOLD
Yourself, and we take you at your price!
We were not before fixed in the choice
that we should make; but now we are.
Denis Pricur is the terror of your clique;
it is him whom we shall oppose TO YOU
Yankee. Yes, friend Bee, Denis Pricur,
a veteran of 1915, Il man Of honor and
fidelity to his country, a firm, indcrend-
ant, intelligent and capable son of louisa
na:-Denls Prieur, doubt not, will be the
next Chief-Magistrate of the State.
Nor need the Bee ~reproich us with To-
cofoism because OF our course in this re-
spect. We are true Wings; we spared
no effort to insure the election OF Gen.
Harrison: the gubernatorial has not, III ON
view, any arbitrary connexlon with tbs
Presidential Chair, and as it appears to It's
improper to sacrifice the interests of the
State to that of a party, we believe it d
solemn duty to differ in this instance from
the so-cslied leaders of the whig party
The honor of our state, the dictates Of
conscience in the exercise of our elective
rights, our views of patriotism, ali cal
upon us to oppose abuses committed under
the s%anctity of a cause that no longer exists
As a consequence, we have appealed to
patriots of both parties to come ont in
support of the candidate the most worthy
of our ~suf1rages:-and that candidate VIC
believe to be DENIS PRIEuR.
