THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

4 We clip the following article from the Richmond
Madison parish) Journal, strong Democratic paper,
of the 18th instant: &
Hon. THOMAS GREEN DAvIDsoN.-This gentleman
pad visit to our little quiet village on Tuesday last
He boldly asserts that he is the regular nominee OF
the Democratic party, and that he shall continue IN
the field though other "Richmonds' appear. When
informed that "rumor said that his opponent, Mr..
Watterston, would canvass the district, and charge
him with many acts OF !" omission and COMMISSION.
PERSONAL social and political, he smingly said, III
take care Of him; I'll meet him and yindicate myself
make his vaunting good. If he should do 50, tmark
our predicton,) he will, in the language Of an od
Mississippi friend, make KNOWN othings " squeak
like rat between two boards K but !, ne snoala Ial
to meet him, or quail under the assault let him not
sshake his CORY locks at us, for he cannot say we
did it, The whole country is on the q oiue to hear
these politcaI opponents. When will they publish
their appointments? The days are not, and we need
excitement. "Jordan is hard road to travel"
OF course Col Davidson will assert that she is the
regular nominee of the Democratic party Accord
ing to our understanding of the matter he could not
assert anything else without asserting downright
falsehoo In accordance with all the usages of polit
ical conventions he was regularly nominated, and he
would be dolt and fool if he yielded the field
either to threatened or real Richmonds Of his own
party.
We rather like the assurance Of Col. Davidson than
otherwise. We like to see man stand up to the
rack, fodder or no fodder We can admire to some
extent, self,confdent individual, even if we are
strongly opposed to the cause he advocates. can
ddate without confidence in himself, ought to be de-
feated and is usually defeated The people suspect
timd politician and in nine cases out OF ten their
suspicious are well founded. s s.4 .
aTll take care fhim'-Mr. Watterston-" smilingly
said' Col Davidson Col. Davidson is good at smiling
and good ct shedding tears, when either performance
will serve his purpose. He can smile and smile,
and-make good stump speech, if he can &C
complish anything thereby. And he can weep
can shed copious showers of tears-can cry like
maiden after her first quarrel with her loyer-if
favorable impression can be produced by such means.
In these respects he is inimitableis entitled to the
rank of irstclass performer. r.-
"I'l take care of him." We have an anecdote
which fits Col Davidsons case precisely. A famous
French hunter once went to India to indulge in the
exciting sport of tiger hunting In one Of his en-
counters with the ferocous and mighty beasts he
severely injured escaped with his life
On his return to France some of his English friends
asked him if tiger hunting was not magnificent sport
He replied Vera fine sport to hunt re tigaire-
magnifque-but re very diyl when re tigaire turn
to hunt you.n He had tried to take care" Of the
tiger, but the tiger very near taking final care
Of him. This is about the care' Col Davidson will
take Of Judge Watterston.
For the information of the Journal and all en-
quring friends" in Madison parish, we will state that
Judge Watterston will be ready, in due season, to
meet the farfamed " old wheelhorse," ETC., etc. and
that the voters of the Third District may rest assured
that there will be no Sinking on our side of the
hOuse,
