Southern sentinel. [volume] (Plaquemine, Parish of Iberville [La.]) 1848-1858, 1852-12-11
Our Nominees.

1t will be seen by the proceedings of the
meeting in another column, that the Wings of
lberville have presented to the voters of the
parish, a Legislative ticket in which is centred,
in an eminent degree, "Honesty, Capacity and
Fidelity" These are the qualities, and the only
qualities, which the people require their candi-
dates to possess, and we would advise them
to keep this principle before them in the present
| contest, and not TO be deceived by the magnet
ic smile, the oily grasp, and the polished ad-
| dress-but look to the past career of those
| who solicit their suffrage, and act as their con-
sciences dictate.
The name of CHAs. A.. SLACK, of Crosse
TGte, first nominated by the parish Of West
Baton Rouge, and enthusiastically ratified by
reclamation, as one of the Senators--is fami-
liar 10 the people Of this parish. If not per-
sonally acquainted, he is known to all in the
District by reputation, as a young man OF rare
qualities of mind, displayed most conspicuous
ly in the energy, perseverance, industry and
great practical wisdom, which have distinguish
ed his career in life. 1t is the first time that
Mr.. SLACK has been nominated for office, (f
we except the Police Jury, where his services
have been justly appreciated,) and it came to
him now unsolicited and unexpected; and while
it is a high honor for one so young and unas-
piring 10 be nominated at the start for the Sc
nate, it shows at the same time an apt and cor
rect appreciation, on the part of the Wings of
both parishes, of lofty attributes for q public
servant.
The other Senatorial candidate, Mr.. NOR
BERT LAUvE, is presented to the people of the
District with the fullest confidence, that on the
part of those who are opposed to him in poll
tics, the admission will be universally granted
that a better, a more Influential and ADLER man,
nor one distinguished for more generous and
high-toned principles, could not have been no.
minated; and on the part of those whose
politics are his politics, his name as their Sem
atorial candidate, gives origin to feelings of
bright hope and high exultation the enthusi-
astic acclaim which pronounced his nomination
gave the fullest evidence of this, if any were
necessary. Mr.. LAuvE, likewise, comes into
the contest against his expressed inclination
but the Wings appear to be now in adversely
here, and at just such a time and under such
adverse circumstances, he allows his name to
be brought forward. Such is the gallantry of
a chivalrous Wing, gifted with all the high at
tributes for Office required of a candidate, and
wherever he appears in the District, he will be
welcomed with unfeigned enthusiasm.
Our Representative candidates, nominated
also by reclamation and with distinguished en-
thusiasm, are MICHEL HEBERT and w. c. AD-
ANS. The first of these gentlemen is perhaps
not so we'll known as the latter; his peculiarly
quiet and u%nassuming manner and habits, in
politics. as in the quiet walks of life, have made
probably a limited acquaintance of an intimate
character, but we can say most truthfulIy, that
where he is known he is most sincerely loved
for his many estimable qualities he is a gen.
tleman of ability, hard working and industri-
and it is for the people to decide whether
such virtues will benefit them in the Legisla-
ture. The latter gentleman, CLARK ADAMS,
as he is Familiarity known and called through
out the parish, is a brother of the late lamented
c. ADAMS, Jr., and has much of that practical
which distinguished the latter. Mr..
ADAMS, as well as the rest of the ticket, is |
before the people, and like them, his no.
mination was carried by enthusiastic acclama-
ton. He is anything but a quiet and feeble
man his political views he has been accus-
to speak boldly and aboveboard, shrink
ing from no contingency when an expression
demanded, and fearing no result; and he
has a frame and a constitution which fear not
the elements, when his party, contrary to his
call upon him to take up his line of
along the bayous and through the
swamps of the parish, to become acquainted
with its independent voters. He will wake
up the "boys" of 1berville, sure.
Such, citizens and Wings of the Senatorial
and Representative Districts, is the ticket pre-
sented for your suffrage it is no ordinary Sc
lection of names for your consideration. With
such names the Wings cannot fear defeat, but
with an animation that has seldom been .ex-
:elled, they are merged heart and soul in the
contest and Notwithstanding their Democra-
tic friends in this parish claim so large a majo-
they must be swifter than they have ever
yet been if they are again successful.
