iadscsa in few ySIls to remove to Shreveport
= this State, whence he again changed his
demidEls, in ls43, to the Parish of Concord, and
in 1647, - established himself in this city, where|
he has siidcs resided Since February, 1850, bel
hss.heen connected with this journal as its prin-
eipsl editor.
Az . lawyer, he was uniformly courteous to|
his brethren and, while he was by no means
deficient in legal acquirements he was perhaps
principally known as the effective advocate, for|
which he was peculiarly fitted by his keen sensi-
bty, bright imagination, and that ndefnable tact|
which ct once formed Mesmeric bond between
himself and those whom he addressed. He wasI
chiefly distinguished. however, as the popular
whig orator; and when we call to mind the
enthusiastic chez with which he was ever
greeted during the last presidential canvass, we
can scarcely fselise the fact that the eye, which
but yesterday spsrkled with intelligence, is now
dmmed-that we shall hear that voice no more. I
Ever the fearless and efficient advocate of truth
right and justice, he has at last sacrificed his life
in their cause. Simple, plain and unpretendine T.
in his manners, he not only despised in others
what was dishonorable Or degrading, but carefully
avoided the admission of it to his own heart or
any appearance Of it in his actions. The tears
Of numerous friends will mingle with those Of
his orphan children upon that grave to which he
will be followed by the regrets Of the whole wing
party Of this city
His remains will be conveyed to Alexandra, !
Red River; on the first steamboat that leaves for
that place.
