Democratic SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
In the last 1lUocate, the name of ROBERT
BENTON, Esq, of Livingston. appears as
Senatorial candidate from this district.
We scarcely think that party could have
made a better nomination. Mr.. BENTON
is well known, aud has long enjoyed the
confidence of his party-and the parish Of
Livingston is at last cared for.
Sine the above was put in type, we
have been informed, that the nomination
has been rescinded, the action Of the Con-
ven,ion been disregarded, Livingston's
strong personal and political favori1e has
been displaced to make room Tor GEO. S
LACY Esq. What do Mr.. BENTON friends
think Of this?

our REPRESENTATIVE Ticket.


The Wing party Of this parish have de-
clined going into a nomination OF Repre-
senta.ives in the nextsLegislature, beIiev-
ing as they do, that the interests involved
il, the election of these candidates are
common, rather than political. In com
mon with a very respectable number OF
members Of our party, we believed the
proper way TO proceed, to be by nomina-
tons; but we cileerfully submit TO the ex-
preston Of public opinion. Notwitli-
standing. they have determined not to
make nominations, there il a general sen.
%tinlent here that onr representatives IN the
next Legislature should be firm friends Of
the adopted Constitution. The citizens
of this parish haze declared themselves
its frie,.ds. aud they would be. very iucon-
%sistent, were they 10 elect members to the
Legislature, who have written against it,
aud for weeks denounced it, in all its pro.
visions men wIloivoted against, it caunot
lie expected to befriend it and shape it for
successful operation-and it would Re
strange, indeed, it the people Of this par
ish endorse their action,
The opposite party have nominated
candidates for the position, who nre oplos-
ed to the adopted constitution, and who
cannot be expected to do eyen Justice, to
those parts of it, that meet with the uni.
versa commentator of the people Of the
State. tn view of this, aud at the solicit.
alton of many democrats and wings, Col.
A. L. II. DUNCAN, and JAMES S.
BAILEY, Esq, have consented to- permit
the use Of their names as candidates for
seats in the Legislature. They are friends
to the constitution, and upon this, we
shall urge their claims upon the people
we do not regard the canvass q political
one, so far as they are concerned-llavina
been warmly solicited to become candid
ates by democrats as well ms wings.
To Speak of them personally, is not
necessary both have been raised IN this
parish, and are largely identified with its
interests. They are personally known,
and are personally, very popular men.-
They need no recommendation at our
hands, but shall receive our cordial sup
port, and wherever we can be Of service,
we shall be happy to avail ourself OF the
opportunity.

SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE COMPROMISE
The sober second thought OF South
Carolina rebuked the folly of its leaders,
who while voting for General Pierce, pro.
tested against the compromise Of which
he is regarded as a supporter. The pro.
test, it appears, was agreed to only in
caucus Of. the members Of Legislature /;
the body voted in down. Tbs Charles
ton Constitutional Union remarks
THE State is thus saved the rid culous
attitude of supporting the administration,
whilst seeking the overthrow Of the Cog
eminent. But more important, more
cheering results attach to this defeat of
the protest againt Mr.. Pierce's Union
princip es. It is a proclamation that the
var against the Union is at length to
cease-tnat South Carolina is once more
to come back into the Union ; to renew
her ancient glorious loyalty, ard to exer-
else iher legitimate influence in control
ing its counsels and shaping its destinies."
