On Tuesday the St. Landry delegation
arrived In this city. Pledged to support
l3orJelon; like tfie friends. they were de-
tefmlned to let no obstacle, however form
idable, keep them away. Finding no con-
veyatice from Opelousas to the Mississippi
river, they took II skiH aud rowed to IndiD
M village. nine miles for the Mississippi
river, but Ia the windings Of that "interior
navigation these true hearted wings got
down the 'wrollg bayou and lost a whole
day, aud came too late to answer for the
noble parisl, Of 81, Landry Ia the Conveil-
ton. WI saw these gentlemen aud the
evidence of their hard work had seriously

out that their favofite candidate was the
nominee, they gave three cheers, and were

dry, by an increased majority over oil pre-
vions elections for the wing ticket.
The impression prevails everywhere.
that we have a strong ticket, made up 81
men of talent, aud cordially endorsed by
the people. The news ffom the country
is cheering, and our friends with the de-
termination to he victorious have gone to
work. In the meantime the democratic
nominees are embarrassed with the con.
hicting views Of their constituents, with
regard 10 the expedieney of many of the
reforms demanded by the people Of the
State. The long aud continued oppose
ton ofthe lenders OF the democratic party
to Banks and Internal improvements, how.
ever safe OF necessary, has made a large mn.
jority Of tile democratic voters conscieiti.
otsly opposed to the creation Of one or the
other, and they are startled by a platform,
protesting to be democratic, that claims
Banks aud Internal improvements AS dem
ocyattc measures Z, aud the democracy
are still farther puzzled by the inconsis-
tency Oft party, that q few weeks ago,
denounced General Scott as simply a mil.
itary man, and therefore unfit for civil of.
fee. and then liading themselves q few
days afterwards called Upon to support a
young man for Governor, simply because
he has a cooked hat aud plnmes,
aud smell of gnu. powder. I" OIL f0ss and.
feathers was made obnoxious, with all
of his sterling merit, because he had no
bur military glory, and young fuss
and feathers" will fail ia commanding
support Tor the same excellent reason.
Judge BoRpELoN will be cordially sup.
ported by a majority Of the people OF the
State, the cry has already gone forth, that
!" Old 1uditor shall sweep the State.
aud the people with one accord, cry. 50
