A Generous Onnonenr.

The Crescent, in extracting a paragraph from
the Advocate, relative TO Mr.. S1GURs' common
cling the canvass in this parish, says:
Trot old Tom Green out. Make him face
the music. The people will profit by the ex-
hibition. Let there be a fair fight between
truth, vigor, patriotism and fidelity to the South
on one side, and falsehood, wireworking and
dis'oyalty TO the South on the other. Both
are exemplifed in the struggle between Sigur
and Davidson. But, can old Tom Green be
drought to the scratch :" We doubt it. The
able eloquent and truthful Sigur will skin him
if ever he catches him.
We are decidedly in favor of the election of
Waterson, because be belongs to our party,
and we know him to be as true as steel on all
questions where Southern Rights, honor and
safety are involved. We believe he will be
elected, and think he ought to be elected. But
should our aDticipations prove unfounded, and
should Mr.. Sigur prove successful, simple
justice requires that we should say the rights
of the South will be safe in his custody. In
the hands of Davidson those rights would be
battered and sold and transferred, just as ex~
pediency or profit might require.

MIR. Sigrur ON Crosse Tete.

We were informed by a gentleman present
that the success which followed the speech oil
Mr.. S1GUR on Crosse Tete, on Monday, was
according to the population of that section,
equally brilliant and enthusiastic as it was
here. Some EIGHTY persons, he says, gave in
their unanimous adhesion TO Sigur and Soa.
Rern Rights. The most Responding of his
friends could not ask for a more proud and poe
sitive expression of sentiment in favor of Mr,
SIGUR than has already been exhibited in this
parish. There are about seven hundred voters
in I~berville, and from what we have seen, and
upon the most reliable authority, we state as
assurance most positive, that more than fire
hundred persons have pledged themselves over
their W signatures to vote for Mr.. SIGUR!-
while we know Of many, among them promi-
nent Americans, who sustain him but did not
sign their names.
The fire ofenthusiasm in favor of the gals
liant SIGUR and Southern Rights has been kins
died in this parish, and its meteor like glare
has ere this became wide spread throughout
the District, and cast terror into the hearts of
those who have spoken SO boastingly of DA"
WILSON'S success.
Keep the ball rolling!

"SIGUR AM H SoUTH."-We To-day pre-.
sent a wellgwritten communication from a
friend who, perhaps for the first time in this his
parish, has taken up the pen in defence Of
Southern Rights and political honesty, in ops
position to the unholy oligarchy which nomi-
mated Nj. DAVIDSON, and trusts that his friends
in this parish, on the I'd of November next (of
which there is pretty conclusive evidence) will
present an unbrOkeu front at the polls in favor
of L. J. SIeUR. Read the "Confessions of an
Old Democrat"

WIZ Stgur,s

If enthusiasm follows Mr.. SIGUR's steps
with half the ardor that it has been displayed il
his own parish, where his genius and noble and
generous impulses are SO well known, the re-
| suit will not be a matter of doubt. Never be-
fore have we seen such evidences of a public
man being so heartily loved, as we have seen
| demonstrated towards Mr.. SIGUR since the
commencement of the canvass in this parish.
This out~pouring Of the feelings among the
masses of his own parish, in favor Of Mr.. 81
| CUR, is the best and proudest recommendation
that can be given to the voters of the other
parishes, of the worth, purity and high ability
of the gentleman whom they delight to honor,
and who by every rule by which candidates for
office should be measured, stands pre~eminent
withouta flaw or speck, as marks for the enven~
omed shafts of cslumny and condemnation
What a contrast, politically and socially, in the
moral and intellectual sense, does such a man
present to the character Of T. G. Davidson,
who, if one third of him be true that is said a.
bout him, had better seek
"a home in some vast wilderness,''
than aspire to the honor (Which should never
be awarded to aught but purity, learning and
patriotism of the highest order) of a seat in
the Representative Hall of Congress.
Let Democrats attend Mr.. SIGUR's appoints
ments, hear him speak, and mark the truth,
genius and g~allantry which his language, and
even his features, portrays, and we cannot
doubt the just and patriotic conclusions of
their minds. They will return to their homes
delighted and observation-disclosures the trick
sters and ofice.seeking suppliants who had
deceived and misled them-rise stTaighter in
stature as the spirit of freedom usnrps its sway
within their breasts-remember SIGUR's cher
ished words, that we are now fighting that our
children, if they have genius, may have a fair
for the honors of the Republic-and
out afresh among their fellow citizens,
plead with renewed ardor for the success of
that gallant champion whose presence and
voice, like the lightning of Heaven in
the physical world, has cast from around them
political miasm8 which was fast dimming
their sight and undermining all those princi-
pies, without which we are unfit to exercise
The suffrage of free men. Such we believe
will be ~symbollical of the sentiment and ac-
of a majority of those Democrats who
oppose him, after they have heard Mr..
SIGUR speak. Aye, yokes and letters will be
wherever his voice is heard-petty po-
llticaI prejudices be swept away as sweeps the
'iroc-and political virtue once more usurp its
sway in the triumph Of the cause which be SO
IDLY and so nobly represents!

What more appropriate design and motto
could We have raised over the name Of L. J.
SIGUR chan the above? which are also the mot,
to and seal Of Louisiana. 1t speaks of Union,
that our rights may be respected-Protection
to her sons-LOpe for her p~osterity and the
Union. Those are the principles of the State
Rights party, which it expects to animate the
breast Of the mother Government. The par
ent feeds her children equally, as the natural
principle of justice and right, as portrayed by
the pelican feeding its young. This is pre-
cisely the equality which the Southern Party
demands Of its great parent, the American I'm
ion--an equality guaranteed to US by the Cons
stitution, and if refused, honor and self~pro-
lection demand US to unite and struggle for
those natural and inherent rights.

1.-THE Plaquemine Sentinel (late K. N.
organ OF TberviIle parish) supports Hon. L. ].
Sigur for Congress. It's candidate was to adj
dress the people of Iberville on Saturday last,
at P%laquemine, where a procession was TO
escort him to the stand. According to the
Sentinel, Mr. 8. is going to get all the votes in
Plaquemine but twenty-five, and every solitary
one at Bayou Goula! There is no use in
frightening a body so, Mr.. Sentinel --Adpocate.
What length Of time constitutes slate ?"--
i looks as if our contemporary wished 10 con-
vey the impression that we had leaped at one
bound from Know Nothingism into the SUD-
port of SiguF; when the fact is well known
that we dropped the former immediately after
the Presidential election, upon the ground that
1t had no national existence, that il was dead
in effect, that it was 'futile to contend for ali.
straet questions" and that we believed the
time had arrived for "the Southern people to
unite in one solid phalanx I'VE cared not under
what nancy to contend for their constitutional
rights and beat back Northern aggression."-
Thus, our course has been perfectly consis-
tent. In the cordial and jealous support we
are giving Mr.. Sigur, NE are but advocating
. principle and action which we proclaimed ten
months since. As TO Tightening the Adpocqte,
just let him hold on till he hears the frst gun
from lbervilIe in November, aud his cheeks
will be paler than they are nowl

The following meagre particulars of the
great race for the Goodwood cup We gather
from the Liverpool papers.
The French horse Monarque won the race,
The English horse Arizbar is placed second,
and Fisherman third Gunboat slipped and
fell. and kestral and Genna Divergy also
fell heavily.
Monarque won by head, and Arizbar
beat Fisherman by about three lengths
Anton was placed fourth, and two lengths
behind Fisherman. The American horses
Pryor and Prioress We're placed fifth and
sixth, and the English horse Melissa seventh.
all the Others pulled up.
The finish is said to have been the most
exciting ever witnessed
The English papers remark, but without
assigning any reason, that the American
horses would have figured more promptly
had they been rode by English Jockeys.
