The correspondent Of the Times is mistaken Ell
is out Of his reckoning. He doesn't know what he il
talking about; and substitutes guesse
for facts. When the proper time comes, the vote

for Messrs. Buchanan and Slidell. The thing il

Nothing but the exquisite tact, the admirable cool
ness and consummate management of Nj. LaSere,
the election delegates to Cincinnati rad
ieaily hostile TO Mr. Slidell At one time the case
appeared hopeless; but 50 shrewdy were things man
aged that the antiS lideians went Off rejoicing in
their ignorance, while the Slideans were chucking
in their sleeves the rather important little fact
that they had secured majority Of the delegates and
that that controlled the entire delegation!
recent event shows the utter ruitlessness Of any
attempt the part Of the Democratic enemies Of Mr.
sdell this State to beat him down Of successfully
oppose his allpervading influence. They hurt them
selves not him, in their conyulsye efforts The party
belongs to him and none but those who are willing
and obedient, can hope to obtain Office. S
instance, would not a. distinguished Democrat,
9 popular Democrat and an able Democrat, other
than the present nominee, have been nominated for

relative Of the Hon Pierre Soule2 Most undoubtedly,

TO personal enemy encompa his defeat
No other cause treason existed BY these remarks
we do not intend the smallest reflection upon the
standard bearer Of the Democracy. Nothing is fur
ther from purpose Weonly wish to illustrate the
fact that man must be a Slidell man outand-out,
without reservation or compromise, if he wants or
expects to be anything with the Democracy Of New
Orleans or Louisiana
It's said that aorder is Heavens first law. We do
notquestion the saying any more than we do that
obedience or ostracis, is the sum and substance Of
the slidell law
The future must determine whether the victims of
the Sdell law will kick up Or become obedent. BY
working unmurmuringy in the traces for several
years, they may be vouchsafed crunb or two Who
knows? Any how, that's their only chance for pre-
fernlent Of any kind. The slightest indication of
rebellion, will assuredly bring uponit condign punish
