II will be seen by reference to the pro-
ceedinys OF the whig meeting of Saturday
last, TO be found III another column, that
the delegates from this Parish have been
instructed to vote. as their first choice, for
the above named gentleman We believe
these instructions to be in accordance to
the settled wishes Of a very large majority
Of the people among whom Judge Mo-
Whortef has been residing for such q
length Of time.
Other parishes have done the same
thing, aud we would not be at all surprised
IL q sufficient number oil delegates come
here instructed to vote for him, TO secure
his nomination on the first ballot. We are
convinced that If personal considerations
were Of any weight. in matters Of this kind,
his nomination would be unanimous.
From one end of the State to the other, he
has secured the affections Of the people,
aud in their hearts he is their first choice
for Governor. Il may be that policy. OF
more scientific .electioneering, may make
the Convention nominate some other per,
| son, but this will not lessen him in the
| opinions al those who have known him st
long and 90 favorably, and his popularity
will be as great without the nomination
as with it. Wherever his friendship has
been tried, ii has been found firm and reli.
able. His actions have been dictated by
strong feeling and generous impulses, and
a good heart. They havb been open md
nnconceaied his motive have always
been acknowledged TO he pure and straight
| forward, and his character has been. aud
is now. without a blemish.
AS Wing he has been faithful to his
party: and as d politician he has been true
10 she best interests Of his country. He
has always been among the leaders Of the
party, and has always pat his shoulder 10
the wheel whenever the occasion required
ii, and done as much as any other man 70
push It on to victory.
Snch merits as these make hira, accor-
ding 10 onr ideas, the best candidate the
party could select, 1t this time. and we
hope sincerely they will meet with the re-
ward they deserve.

lie was among the very first citisel,s Of
our State who attempted to Introduce .

plans and Suggestions as presented years
aud years ago, tfi6st finally be adopted.
Mr.. Thorpe has a literary reputation
" hieh eininently fits him for an office that
IL connected with literature, aid mol with

sketches Of Louisiana and the West over
his ~favorite signature Of " Tom Owen the
Bee Hunter will say that he has done
more than any other Southern writer to
give an original character to the literature
of tile South.
As a politician, Mr. L. has ever been
regarded as a good sdvocate for others,
and We believe from his widely spread
fame aud personal popularity Throughout
the State, that If he receives the nolnilla.

shoulders. He must have the whole
strength Of the whole party. or he must
be defeated.
The only way by which the strength OF
the party can be brought out, Is to make
nominations. Ifthis Is done, and good
aud efficient men are brought out, they
will be elected. II not we are all badly
beaten.
There IL a tender footedness upon this
matter which we cannot understand
WHY nominations are feared we do not
see. That they weaken the prospects Of
the candidates In, in our opinion, a lalacy.
Look at East and West Feliciana. They
are among the strongest Democratic Par.
ish es IN the State. Still not ali election
comes off that regular nominations are not
made, aud they succeed with their CAN
didates very often. Why Is this? There
are two reasons for 1t. III the frat place
they take rood care to nominate the best
mel, in the party, and in the ext place
when the men have been selected and the
nominations made, the party stands up
to them. This Is the way they succeed.
aud this Is the only way to obtain success.
vi institute no invidious comparisons.
We express no preference for any of the
