The following article from the Plaquemine Qber-
WILEY Gazette Of the 9th inst, will be read with in
terest by the interested
NoNsENsE.-Before US we have the Felieana Demo.
crat, Democratic journal conducted with ability.
The latest number contains communication from q
gentleman who styles himself "a proxy delegate,
The writer abors hard to make out his case, but we
can but believe that he will fail. When Democrats
go into convention we consider them bound to sup
port the ticket nominated by that convention. II
Democrat or a dozen Democrats absent themselves
before the business Of the convention is completed
they as much bound by the action Of the MAORI
ty as if they had remained. We express no prefer
ence for individuals. Our motto is principles not
men. We cannot consent to lend the columns Of this
journal to few dsatfected Democrats who, because
their avorte did not receive the Congressional noi
nation are for kicking up muss in the camp. Such
articles the referred to above can do no good
but must certainly do harm. The convention was ad
vertised for months each aspirant had an equal
chance. The candidates were named, and are now
before the people, and it behooves those who feel
interest in the good old cause to be up and moving.
The enemy is already in the field marshaling his
forces. If would be victorious we must be united
If it ia Democratic to support only those we may
happen to be personally acquainted with, and who
ing about Democracy. But if supporting the whole
ticket without murmur cheerfully endorsing the
action of the majority, working early and late for the
success of our party and the immutable and imper-
ishabe principles of the old Jeffersonian Democracy
is the right figure, then our bark the right course
where shall endeavor to keep until the shout goes
up in Novemher-the Democracy is victorious-the
whole ticket elected
The disaected Democrats in the Third District are
determined to @ die hard" But we opine their de-
terminaons will not affect the result. Mr.. Davidson
was duly, and fairly, and squarely nominated for Con-
gress by all the convention rules with which we are
acquainted and his minority opponents will have to
support him abandon the party to which they pro-
fess attachment. No other alternative is left them,
unless indeed the order Of things is reversed in the
Third District and mnorities instead of majorities
are allowed to govern.
The idea of holding another convention is prepos-
erous and confess to much surprise at seeing it
urged in sensible quarters. Suppose another
tion-two having been already held-shoud be forced
by Mr.. Dayidsons personal enemies and he now pos
sessing fair nomination, should be supplanted, how
would his numerous friends throughout the district
regard the nominee? They would not be very apt to
regard him with eye Of favor and smarting under
gross and papable injustice would not be rery active
in securing his election.

lowing:
We have had fine showers for several days past

continue too long, which will make the cotton grow
too fast to bear well. The joints will be too long ant
the stalk too sappy, The continued wet weather
giving the grass and weeds fair chance to get til
start of the hoes and pl0ws. The general health q
