Our Nominees.

our NOl011oeSs
To-day we present the names OF the Wing
nominees for Delegates to the Convention from
the Parish and from the Senatorial District
| All the elements of success are embodied in
this ticket. 1t would be difficult to come to
a satisfactory and harmonious choice of four
gentlemen combining greater qualifications for
success, and purer and loftier attributes for the
high duties for which they are candidates.
When they are weighed in the scales with their
opponents, we fear not the Judgment of the
people.
ZENoN LABAUvE and CHRISTOPHER ADAMS,
Jr., are side by side for the suffrages of their
fellow.citizens. Was there ever before in this
Parish, a ticket of more elevated character, or
combining virtues and abilities of higher order
for the faithful performance of public duties
and public trusts? Where is the political OPP
ponent who doubts their eminent fitness for
the exalted station for which thoy are announc-
ed as candidates by the united voice Of their
fellow-citizens! 1t is not for us to speak Of
their past services-their high standing as able
and faithful public servants. We leave to their
bitterest political enemies the record of their
worth, and their zeal and fidelity in the service
of the State. Abroad, their names have been
associated with high and deserving honors-at
home, they are esteemed for their public and
private virtues, and for their commanding ia
Tents. Thus, briefly, we leave them to the peo-
pie, whose clear minded judgment we do not
fear when great trusts are in their gift, and
when difficult and responsible duties are to be
performed.
The nomination of Mr.. JOHN A. DARDENSE
as one Of the candidates of the Senatorial Dis
trict, may be considered a fortunate one in ma
ny respects. He is a young creole-the growth
of our own soil-ablc, energetic, popular for
his virtues and amiabilities, and one of the tru-
est and staunchest Wings which Iberville has
ever given birth to. The nomination came to |
him as it should come to all, without the most
distant idea on his part that his name would be
brought before the meeting. He was nomina-
ted before he was aware that he had been thus
spoken Of so honorably. Nothing surprised
him more on hastily entering the meeting, to
tho claims of his friend Col. STEW
ART, to find that his own name had been pro-
claimed as the choice Of the meeting. He
gracefully accepted, as he should, the u~nsolici-
ted honor; and meritoriously will he perform
his duty if the people of the District select him
