of the ccdcd and enthusiastic feeling enlisted in his

the belief, chat he will be trIumphontly returned in
November next by a decided majority over both OF
his competitors.

COL. DAvlDsoN's MADNESS"

The editor of the Baton Rouge Advocate some
month or so since, said it would be :" madness in
Col. Davidson to resist request to withdraw, and
would throw defeat upon himself. That request has
been respectfully made. Now why does not the Ad.
vocatc come out boldly and charge upon Col. Da.
wilson the effects of his madness.' Is it conscious
I" that change has been going on in its own mind
and that since the Convention adopted the course it
suggested, il does not now consider him guilty Of
near SO much % madness" as ii supposed? The fact
of Mr. Sigurs nomination does not alter Col. David
sons position in any particular. If he would have
been responsible for defeat without q nomination by
the new Convention, he is equally so with II. If
guilty OF "madness" in the one case he is certainly
so in the other Why, therefore, does not the Adj
vocate hold him esponsblc for his incxcusablc
" madness" Why does ii spare him? The Advo-
cate suggested and advised the course pursued by
the new Convention with the exception Of the nom
naton, aud that step, after Col Davldson's reply.

docs of all candid and reasonable minds It then.
certainly ought TO sustain that action of the Con-
vention which it advocated and advised. If the
Democratic party defeated ii will do no good after
the disaster to hold Col Davidson responsible for
bis " madness" II is our duty now TO save 1t from
defeat, and the only way to accomplish that dcsra-
bic end is to rally round the standard Of the noble.
the gifted, and the eloquent sigur. The personal,
as well as the political preferences of the large
joriy Of the democratic masses are in his favor
The question before the people is: Whether Demo-
crazy or Davidson shall 90 down? lie has been
told his running cndangers the success Of the state

the District. For the sake Of that party he profess
ses to love so ardcnly, he has been earnestly solicit
ted TO withdraw fro m the canvass, and he answers
codly, he has not the right nor dispostion"--
Must the Democracy be sacrificed TO crafty his in
ordinate thirst for Congressional honors? The an.
swcr will come in November, and we have no fears
for its purport. The Intelligence. the virtue and
the patriotism Of the Democracy will triumph

LAURENT J. SlGUR.


To-day we ran up the name Of LAURENT j. SlGrn
as cand dutcihe Democratic candidate for the 3rd
Congressional District for Congress.
OF course. we have taken down the name of 7. G.
DAVIDSON When we purchased this paper the name
OF Davidson wa. at the head of its columns Us can
didutr for Congress. although Objectionable TO at
least ninn-cnths of the Democracy of 1berville.-
Yet, upon consultation with the prominent members
of the Democracy of our Parish ii was thought not
best to take down his name from our paper until
n more acceptable individual should receive from
the mass Of the Democratic voters, their endorse.
mrnt ~ proper and efficient member to maintain

masses will endorse him and the course pursued by
the delegates in the convention of the 3lst OF Au-

the noble Democracy Of lbcryille, and justly re-

ST. HELENA.

II is whispered in very reliable quarters that the
true Democracy of this once Democratic parish arc
fast becoming nightly inclined to support Mr.. ST.
CUR for Congress, and that this inclination is extend
ing so rapidly it is said by some, that the Custom
House. will have to be sent for speedily to check
If possible. the Sigur stampede in St. Helena Its
Chief has done some service in that good old parish
and her Democracy owes him debt Of gratitude for
accomplishing what no man had ever before accom-
pished until he got in among them and that was to
turn the good old parish against the Democracy
lie had better now be sent for speedily or ST. Ice-
ma will turn back again to the Democracy and give
to the able and accomplished SIGuR round, full
and old fashioned Democratic vote. That's what
we hope and expect of her true and Independent
Democracy. Sgur is the man, the ablest and the
strongest in the field let every good democrat stand
by him and all will be well.
The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1857-09-19

Gss- We clip the following comment Of the n. o.
Courier on Col Van Wrinkles resolutions, offered al
the late Congressional Convention.
"IIad the action of the convention been confined
to the passage Of these resolutions, IL would. we
think, have been infinitely better for the present and
future prospccs of the Democracy Of the Tird Con-
gressional District"
We respectfully ask the Courier in what way
Docs the Courier believe that had nothing beyond
the passage of these resolutions been done, that Col
Davidson would have Withdrawn? In case Col
Davidson refused to Withdraw, what ought the Con
vention then to have done: The Courier in that
event certainly would not have advised them to do
nothing and thereby to render themselves ridiculous
in the eyes of all sensible men?
II is conceded by the B. II. Advocate that had
the Convention passed the resolutions and adjourn
ed IL would shave been madness on the part of Col
Davidson to resist such an appeal, aud would throw
the defeat of the party upon himself" What Col.
Davidson's reply would have been to Col Van Win
kle's resolutions, we can entertain doubt for in
his answer to the committee who waited upon him
with similar resolutions he says he has "neither the
right nor disposition to withdraw If he did not
possess the right-we say nothing of his disposition
TO retire after Mr. Sigur's nomination. he certainly
did not have it before. To have waited then upon
him with Col Van Wrinkles resolutions would have
been an idle thing We confess our inability TO
discover how it could "haye been infinitely better
for the present and future prospects of the Demoe-
racy'' in this district to have done nothing beyond
requesting Col. Davidson to withdraw. We can see
no possible difference between the position Col Da-
wilson now occupies, and that he would have occll-
pied had the convention adopted the course sug-
gested If his resistance to the appeal in the one
case would have been '1naaaess and the throwing of
defeat upon himsef' then it is equally so in rela.
ton to the other.

NINE CHEERS FOR IBERvILLEl!!

From the article Of the Ibervile Gazette, which
will be found In another column, our readers will
perceive that the name of Thomas Green Davidson.
as the Democratic candidate for Congress, has been
Indignantly torn down, and that of the gallant sigur
run up in its stead. Not only has the Democratic
paper there hoisted his name but the Sentinel also
has placed ii at the head of its columns. The peo-
pie of Ibcrvile are UNANIMOUS in favor Of the
new convention. We hail the glad tidings with
heart felt delight The example set in the banner
parish will be followed by the heightened and chiv-
arous people of the other parishes.
The people of East Feliciana will vindicatc the
action of the convention at the polls in Novem-
ber No day passes but what we hear of some true
and stats rights patriot enrolling under the standard
of Sigur. They take delight to do him honor. Each
day has but added to his strength and increased the
enthusiasm Of his supporters.
As il Is in Ibcrville and East Fcliciana, so it will
be in the Northern parishes. The voices of Carol,
Madison, and Tensas. will next be heard in the con-
nic marching in solid column to the support Of the
bold and talented Louisianan. Catahoula, Concor-
dia and Avoyellcs will not be silent. The time is
now at hand when they should speak out boldly
like patI lots the honest sentiments Of their hearts
lucy HTe cApcclcu lHelf uuIy 10 l0clr country.
The hoarse mutterngs Of the coming conflict. in
which the dearest rights of Louisiana, Of the South
and of the Union will be assaulted and If possible
destroyed, arc already heard by our people. To adj
vocate and defend them, we need man OF the first
talents, of unwavering fidelity undoubed integrity,
and of tried courage. Such man Ibervillc has
furnished, and her gallant citizens political
friends apd foes, ioyfuly unite in recommending
him to their fellow-ctizens throughout the district.
Their endorsement and their recommendation il not
unappreciated and will not be unhcedcd. We ask
what parish, nay what precinct, in all the wide
bounds Of the Third District can Thomas Green Da.
wilson carry?
The honor conferred upon Mr. sigur, by the action
Of his citizens of both parties is the highest
ever known in the political history of this State
The nearer home the more highly is he estimated
and the more warmly is he loved while with Col.
Davidson the feeling of the people is exactly the
reverse.
= All honor to Ibervile and nine times nine for
gallant son.

now WAS DAVIDSON NOMINATED !?

We answer through the direct influence of in
irlgue 50 plainly pfaecai that it was at once seen
~ The Sp cllols present AT the Convent ion. and
gatd"d by all honest men present as most uumiti-
gated optrng upon the rights Of the voters of the
Sd Cunpr oual District.
Immediately after tie state Convention Of last
Jun" ma organgrd gentleman in the interest Of
thr Slidt Davidson faction. moved 10 exclude prox-
ins from the Convention, Against that motion, it
Wa argued by ihF Democrats. that il had ever been
th" lr,n2" OF the Democratic party 10 receive prox-
ie>-ila acting III accordance with that long cstab-
tshcd usage, they had come 10 the Convention in
good iaIh with proxies, and If they were not per-
trd 70 nsn them. large uor ons Of many parishes
would be deprived Of being heard in the Conycn-
ton They "a d. let the Convention conduct its bu.
Islness today upon the old usagcs Of the parly-akc
n5 not ny surprise, Let the business Of to-day be
accomplishing, aud then, If you wish to pass reso-
luiion prohibiting the use Of proxies, we shall be
satisfied; for We can net accordingly hereafter and
nave our delegates here in person. But no ar
gumrnt could prevail against men determined to
fraud, In vain did the country delegates battle
against re r@olut on excluding proxies The first
lieutenant OF John slidc directed the forces of the
Whpi cnr.sh Democracy Of New Orleans, and we
believe every delegate voted for the resolution.
now why was there so much consequences attach
! ed to said resolnt.o on? We will tell you why. Sim
Ipy because the delegates in favor OF A. S. Heron
wan lhrf proxies could have nominated him on the
hfHl ballot. This fact Was well known and admitted.
Deprived "l these proxies the Davidson men could
probably have prevailed. Davidson was the Slidell
cand dalr--llomon the candidate of the unadulter-
alod Democracy Hence the interference Of the Sill
dell mcn Of New Orleans to carry yoo which at-
frctcd The Bird District most materially. and in fact,
deprived the people of selecting their own candid
att. Now, we ask j we are bound by any known
rule Of the Democratic party--any understood usage
to subu to the eaitii delaton which placed 4.
G. Davidson as II Hom nee before the Democracy?
How dsglNced would The 3rd District be how hui
inflated to S'oop fora moment to such interference

TnE CANvAss--We have the most cheering intel
lisence from all quarters that Mr.. Sigur's nomina
ton is hailed with the greatest satisfaction. Indeed
1t Is now beyond doubt that the contest is between
slgur and Wattcrston, Davidson is not in the race
signr can and will beat Watterston handsomely and
all good and true democrats, who prefer the success
of their party over the mere prctensions of men
should unite upon sigur, to give him triumphant
majority.
