The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1851-12-15

The approaching session of this body will be
an important one. 1t will have 10 pass upon
many subscts of great interest to the people
upon the question of a Convention to form
Constitution, and upon subjects earnestly sgiiated
throughout the State.
The importance of the session will, we think,
secure prompt attendance at the Capital, on
the opening of the session. In the Senate where
there is only two wing majority, the wings will
certainly be prompt in their appearance, to Sc
cure the organization of that body, the election
of its officers, aud to avoid the storm which
w;lful and derelic, absence would raise about
their ears The whig party of Louisiana has had
| irs innocent simplicity so long imposed upon in
the election of democrats with wing majoriiies,
that we may expect something of shower"
and some lively expressions of opinion, if the
same thing comes out again. We relish amuse-
ment, and we shall watch this matter, and note
all the points for The benefit and instruction OF
our readers. The House is too decidedly wing
to afford any prospect of excitement in the cleo
ton of officers but if the wing majority should
ne "whittled" down to " the little end OF
nothing" by wing absentesism, there would be
a "crack of doom" for the absentees which
would make-three or four interesting editorials.
Our wing friends will understand US. We are
in perfect good humor but the fact is notorious,
that when they drive the wagon they very
generally neglect to carry their own friends
Somebody has only TO cry out prescription, D
md they jump as if beset by forty thousand
wolves and then our democratic friends have
the joke all their own way. That is one O.
the facts in the history Of American politics
II the wings pretend TO set up business OF
heir own account" and select one of their owl
candidates, some fun-loving democrat has only t.
shout prescription" and the wings drop thei
candidate instantly as if he were coal Of liv,
! fire. Probably the wings do not very often get
chance to elect, and hence the reason they q
so awkwardly about the busin-s SIS. They can
dance to their own music; erempla gratia, tht
effect the Soule Grand March had upon
recent Legislature in which there was whit
1 majority.
Then, there is the Senatorial election. "Ml
dear Sir" and " My dear FRIEND" are, doubtless
| floating through the State, in the handsomest o
letters, as thckly as chips upon a June rise in thu
Ohio River. The complaisance and friendlines
of these candidates, wing or democrat, are beyont
all expression and all description. They are be
yond all comparison. They .surpass all that wa
polite and graceful in Chesterfield. They throw
Beau Bfummel into comparative shade of insight
fcant courtesy. They are gentlemen travelin
about-they are not candidates-they are not larg
enough for that. But they have such friend,
disposition for the acquaintance of members of tn
Legisature-such amiable bonhommie for legisla
tive sufragans-such nice words in behalf of (pos
sib.e) u S. Senators elect, that they are perfectly
l irresistible. They can most gracefully invite
voting Legislator to dine on shoulder Of warn
1--WE abominas cold) mutton but after the election
the shoulder will be decidedly cold. They know
Mr.. Brown, the member from -, now a half o
mile off; but, after the election, with telescop,
and srsctaces, they would not know him at fv
PAGES. Unfortunate Mr.. Brown! Maguifcen
| and " model "selectioneerer
All this promises to be very funny, very anus
| ing. There is man in New Orleans who swal
| lows sword. The operation is interesting; Blu
/ wait until the wing members of the legislator
swallow Gen. Horato Davis's letter. That wi
be more amusing. 1t will show the end of PAL
| tsanship, the reign of universal peace.
