The daily comet. [volume] (Baton Rouge, La.) 1850-1856, 1855-06-22

Walk would afford this pape1
much pleasure to lay before the com
munity the Proceedings Of the late
Democrats Convention. The fact
that puff for tie secretaries, from
the New Orleans Organ, is worth
more, than a puff here; is the reason,
why, the secretaries put them in their
breeches pockets, aud marched off to
the city. All we can say in the way
Of revenge just now is, "Dever mind
| gentlemen, you will come back here
again when an other convocation Of
the democracy takes place, and we
shall husband up, our vepgence for
you until that time" s,,as
In language Of our confrere in
Church Street. We might exclaim.-
"Why is it that the deliberations Of a
body convened in the Capitol of the
State, were not given to the papers
published on the spot, flor publication !?
BY whose authority did the Secretar-
les of that Convention give the pre-
ference to q New Orleans journal,
when Democratic paper Of equal
claims, (vide the Comet if not super
ior merits, was published where the
Convention held its session ~? Why,
we ask, this favoritism !? and to whom
are We indebted for the non-appearan-
ce ofthe official proceedings Of body
of equal importance to every Demo-
crat in the State I? Who will answer
these direct interrogatories."
We feel agricved-indeed We do;
and shall therefore publish nothing
but their declaration of war as embed
led in "Rcsolutions."
Resolved, That we are uncomprom-
isingly opposed to the political orgaui-
zation commonly called the Know
Nothing Order, Or American party,
having no sympathy with their secrecy
their oaths, their unconstitutional des-
ign, their religious intolerance, their
political prescription. and their aboli-
ton associations at the North.
After this, can there be any furth-
er doubt, as to the fact; that the
people of the South are whetting the
knife which is most cartainly designed
to to cut their own threats? Trem-
bic in your boots, ye southern men,
and make ready to give up the ghost.
ANOTHER HORSE OF A DIFFERENT
CoLoR.-The Gazette in noticing the
fact, that the Hon. T Green David
SOD, received a majority of votes from
the DEM, Convention, over bis Com
petitor, the Hon. John Perkins, is
wrong. 1t appears from the evidence
of the Advocate that the Gazette ia
in error-entireIy so. The Gazette
should have simply said-or rather
said simply. "The Hon T. Green
was nominated unanimously" BE
cause why ?" Why, because the Hon.
John Perkins was not a candidate
and although Mr.. Perkins received
nineteen of the votes cost, yet he
received no votes, because be was
not a candidate. From a parity of
reasoning, the Hon. T. Green is not
the nominee; for lie was not a can
date. and did not seek the Office
Is it not very we'll known to the !
Advocate, that he gave up the Pres !
dental chair, and left the Hall. in !
the very fear, that an attempt would
be made to thrust some unsought
honor upon him :! Hence we argue
from the case as it now stands
First, that Nj Perkins received no
votes, because he was rot before the
Convention; Second, that Mr.. d.
wilson was not before the conven-
lion; Third that the vote given him,
was thrown away; fourth, that there
was no vote; fifth, that there was
10 election and sixth, that there is
no candidate before the people.
How do the beligerent editors like
his? This is logic; and logic is
law, and law is gospel. See Plu-
;arch's Lives; Arkwright on the
Black Hawk war; Gritty on evil
lence; Euba, Ks on contracts, Civil
Code, Art XXX, p. 81, and other con-
elusive evidence of fact. We would
