| This gentleman concluded q long speech in the
limited States Senate, the % inst by announcing
b;a adhesion to the Democratic party!
| We eSnected that this forrnaty would have been
onye through with some months since. There was
nothing necessary but an open and formal aclnow-
IeIansilt Of transfer Of political stock in trade
which took place last summer, to make the transact
ion regular and binding Just as people do every day
before our notaries when they wish to execute titles
to negroes houses and lots etc., or raise money on
to be foreclosed on certain specified days
1t was all fozlnality Mr. B. tsold OUT long since
notwithstanding he saw fit to make the United States
Senate Chamber the office where the goods were for
$malIy handed over. We rather like the idea than
otherwise 1t gives one thoughts Of bigness IN tact

in the hall Of the Conscript Fathers This, agaln,
the act with originality, and attracts 70 van
attention and consideration which wonld not oter

shall not object To such a distinguished place IN

II Mr.. Benjamin thinks the dominant party in this
State will settle up promptly -or if he has full
faith in their can apply the test without
dificulty. j Let him resign, and see whether Gov.
Wicklife will re.appoint him. Or, that does not
suit let him resign next winter, his resignation to
take effect on the LIST Of March, and see if the Demo-
cratic Legislature will reelect him Having gone
over to the Democracy, head heels and intellect, he
should manifest every disposition TO repose unlimited
trust ii the Democracy that is provided, etc.,
lie believes in the good faith of the aforesaid Demo-
eracy What magnificent opportunity he now has
Of testing the sincerity Of his political bedfel
lows! He never will be afforded another such glo-
rious chance.
Our neighbor of the Courier is quite jubilant over
the accession Of Mr.. B. We don't see any occasion
for joy at this late day. The party, Of which the
Courier is the organ, enjoyed the advantage of Mr..
Benjamin's influence and services last summer and
fall He has done the Democratic party all the good
and the American party all the harm he can, conse-
quently according to our notion his senatorial alb
Duration will not be productive of the smallest effect
within the limits Of the very rich very prosperous,
very hospitable, and very pleasant commonwealth,
officially known and designated the State Of Louis
iana-a the " Sugar Bowl Of the Union.''
These are our sentiments, and we don't care who
knows them. This is a changeable world, and men
are changeabe bpeds; but, it does come hard fol-
men to be bit on the head with stick of their own
presenting. What next? Let us await the unwind
ing Of the scroll of the future. r
