The Feliciana Democrat., 1857-10-17
1T HAS PITH AND MEANING IN IT.

Such il the caption Of al article in the Advocate 81
the lst inst. quoted from the Delta
The object Of M" Advocates article is to discrcd
Mr. Sigur with the Democrats by incrr'ng. that inas
much Sigur Is supported or spoken tayorably Of in
the Delta he partakcs of the peculiar views ol that
Journal Now we happen to know that Mr. Sigur docs
no, approve OF the course Of the New Orleans Delta
and that he is not disunonis hut occupies precisely
the position. in regard to the protection Of govern
mcnt property and residents in Territories that of
Mr.. Buchanan in hs reply to the Connecticut memo
ralists.
The structures of the Advocate upon the course OF
the Delta meet, we presume. with the appreciation o
tle Democratic party but that ii has any right To IN
II that Sigur occupies the ground Of the Delta
hscalsc that Journal happens to advocate his election
ta deny. The worst man that ever lived may some
ne have done a good deed. The most crptc jour
a- may. AT timcs-nay, probably will be right and
advocate the right cause.
The Delta assaicd our Vice President for saying
that he belonged TO no party that had for lis objec
the extension Of Slavery by the General Government
Mr.. Sigur sanctioned. nj the time that declaration
made. the whole position of Vice President Brrckin
ridge in regard to the question OF slavery. and vii
not only ayow the Vice President was right but Civ,
his whole energies 10 the support Of the present nd
minstration so long as II adhercs to the Cincinnati
Platform. But the Advocate. unfairly n we conceive
wishes to disseminate the idea that sigul must he 4
disunonist because he i supported by the Delta
Now the course Of the Delta is Indicative Of the prln
cpics Of no man or party. lis continual war upol

demn ii in the minds of all thinking men. But look
moment AT the position Of the Delta and its edor'
.ierctoforc In ~ one Of lis editors stumped The
state for Pierce, and wrote diligently for journal il
Scw Orleans against linn In rs ii was said and ne
,loubt with truth, the editors OF that paper played
similar game. In fact 50 unreliable is The Delta,
standing that it certainly I'VE mean in polca
view cannot be regarded rs authority and II is strange
that the Advocate should attempt 10 show that Sigui
: supported by the Dela because there is any identity
# principle between them. But there is no necessity
r combating the Advocates nfcrences. We know
at Mr.. Sgr does not endorse the Delta, and that h
uot dsunonist. To be sure he Is Il strong advo
Of Southern Rights, and would be in Congress Il
hlul sentinel, aud an able and watchfll guardian o
whole interest, such representative We require
mdently do we pray that the people in their wis
may elect him
There was pith and meaning in the nomination o
nr" His nomination meant that the people OF thu
bird Congressional District were determined to be re
resented by an able and honest man of their Sc
.a5tion-that they were and are resolved on resist
outside pressurc-that they would set the politi
ms at defiance, and bring back our glorious old par
- to its presinc intcgrty-in this consists the pin
ID meaning Of Sigu's nomination. BereiHe Gdzeae
