Every newspaper reader in Louisiana, is
aware by this time of the very nice little ar.
rangement entered into between SoULE and
SL1DELL, by which the former obtained the mis-
sion to Spain, and the latter to take MIR. SoULE's
I seat in the Senate. Facts and circumstances
proving this arrangement, are so beautifully
doye-tailed into each other, that no room is left
for the fraction of a doubt. But what says the
third and Supreme party to this contract? Has
the acma of Aristocracy, and the foul slanderer
of true Democracy, as exhibited in the person
of JOHN SLrDELL, such startling influence as to
place himself without a compeer in this State
as a candidate for the US. Senate? Can this
Dictator stride into the halls of the State House
at Baton Rouge, or but wing his wish upon
the telegraphic wires, to have his desires graft
fed through the Representatives of the people!
Such result, it seems, has been anticipated by
this gentleman; but, if we are not very much
mistaken, he will find himself wofully deceived.
A new and much faster man than Joqx Sill

Wings and many Democrats known to US
will succeed the new minister to Spain in the
US Senate; and. one too who is imbued with

where Mr.. SL1DELL doubtless never dreampt
of receiving opposition, will he be tripped up

SMITH is elected; a Democrat he will be, and
it matters but little who the gentleman is; but
it is somewhat gratifying to us, the reflection
that the tables are turning and that the rulers
will be ruled, and that we can rejoice that "bar.

has ever expressed its "holy horror" will find
its quietus in the very Legislature from which
it expected to receive a willing and subseryient
support,
