TIE CONVENTION OF AUGUST 81.

| The aeo Congressional Contention which has been
proposed to be held in Baton Rouge on the 3lst OF
August next, to nominate new candidate for Con-
gress for this District has now become fixed fact
Although every parish in the District may not send
their delegates, there cannot be any doubt that n
majority of them will, and that majority will be com
posed of the largest and most Democratic parishes in
the District.
What course that Convention may take Is matter
of future consideration which the Convention itself
will determine upon when ii shall assemble If Col
Davidson should think proper TO take the advice Of
the Louisiana Courier and withdraw from his present
position, then all disscntions may be healed and all
doubts be solved as to the union and success of the
Democracy Of the District In such an event. should
1t transpirc in time, then the Convention might be
induced to iorcgo any predictions in favor of other
prominent gcntlcntlcmen for the time being, look
ing beyond serious objections and grave faults now
in order to future solid and stern resistance to
any secret combinations and outside influences with
in the Democratic party, to control and nsdirect
the energies OF the Democracy of this District for
the selfish ACCOMPLISHMENT of few who constitute
the spoils portion Of the Democracy Upon this
point the States Rights Democracy of this District
are firmly determined for all the future nor will
they countcnancc any such secret combinations or
organizations wherever they may find them, or whom
soever may uphold them in any quarter of the State
Yet we have very little hopes that the spoils De.
mocracy of this District will incline to any course
that may conducc to the success of our principles
their motto now seems to be, men, not measures and il
we may judge from the violence of their denuncia-
ton and abuse of those who will not join them in
their giraffe and passionate career, in one determn
ed course, then need scarcely expect that the ap
preaching convention will have any other duty to
perform than that which shall place the States Rights
Democracy Of the District on the most honorable
basis elevated by the highest and purest principles
and ennoble by their steady adherence to those prn
clpes above all the allurements of official spells or
the seductions of secret official schemers
Flrst-lt will then dcyolye upon the convention
to nominate a candidate every way worthy of the
confidence and support of the States Rights Democ-
racy oil the District, and we have many who are
worthy of the high honor and who would do battle.
most nobly, in so good cause.
Or second-lf circumstances should present them.
solves which shall decide the convention not to make
nomination, then, in that case IL will doubtless
construct the basis of our future action, organise
the true Democracy Of the District and determine to
maintain mastery inactivity" for the present.

ny issue to the people Of Kansas last year they are
opposed TO il still. The truth is there is not few
of these men who desire that this question should
not be settled. They are disunionsts at heart, and
glory in the prospect of a Southern coniedcrocy,
which must result from continual agitation Of this
question. Their ultra views can never be adopted
by the Democratic party Of these United States.
Hence their rcstlcssness So long as the Union lasts
they know they must be in minority. That they
love the South and her peculiar institution, do not
pretend to deny. That they are honorable and high
minded gentlemen | am proud to admit! But they
have peculiar political views, and their notions OF
the best policy to he pursued towards the people OF
the territory, docs not accord with that adopted by
the president and the Democratic party in regard
thereto. Hence their opposition and faut-fndng
These men have never been satisfied with any Demo
cratic administration since the days of notification
They will not We should be slow to admit, that
either Robert ]. Walker or James Buchanan. whose
whole political lives have been one of devotion To
the rights of the South, would do any thing incon
sistent with their former bright political record by
bordering to the frcesocrs and aholionists. whom
they opposed all their lives before.
If any had doubts before, they should have none
now, that it Is known that the Democratic and pro
slavery party of Kansas, in convention assembled
have almost unanimously passed resolutions cndors
ing Robert j. Walker ana his policy as Governor Of
territory. When il is know that these mon arc rs

TIE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

That objections and opposition to Colonel
DAWSON exist among the Democrats Of his dis.
trict it would be a useless folly to deny. Re
spectacle Democratic papers and leading Dem
ocrats are sustained in their opposition to him
by large number Of ms good Democrats as
there are in the State. The feeling which they
manifest towards him and his friends is one OF
hostility as earnest and bitter as they have
ever shown towards their Know-Nothing oppo-
ncnts, The hostility began before his nomina-
ton and we see 10 sign Of its decrease now,
nor any prospect that it will soon snbsidc.
How is this disastrous contest to be ended?
What is the oil that is to be poured upon the
raging waters of strife? What is to stay the
hands Of the Democrats of that district from
political suicide?
We have seen this storm brewing for q long
time. When the unlreky affair Of the judicial
election occurred, we were sensible that Col.
Davidson had committed great error We
felt then that his violation Of one of the ancient
and timo-honored rules Of our party would
give prctcXt to his many personal and politi-
cal enemies to use the same unwarranted free
dom in his case, should he become the Demo
cratic nominee. But the manner in which and
the extent to which that triling fault has been
exaggerated and harptd upon show that it was
only the prctcXt for an opposition which that
alone would never have caused.
When the convention of the 18th of June
was about to assemble, we felt it our duty to
admonish that body of the necessity of select
ing candidate uncXceptionablc to any portion
OF the party-onc who should be q true expo
nent OF Democracy, and who would unite the
whole Democratic vote OF the district We
warned them against listening for moment
to "claims" of candidates. word which should
find no place in any true Democrats yocabu-
larry.
We thought when that convention assem-
bled that it would be wiser if an entirely new
name were planced before the people. But so
thought not the delegatos--tllc only persons
who had the power to act, The action of that
convention has been subjected to the ferccst

LITERARY EXERCISES,

In Connection nth Christian Associations.
we find a communication in the Quar-
terlv Reporter of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, which contains some ex-
cellent remarks with regard to connecting
literary exercises with the general proceed
;nos Of an Association. For the benefit oft the
Association in this place, we make an e1-
tract The writer, after showing that force
and action proceed principally from young
men. and that all young men, more or less
during period of their lives, possess pc
cnliar fondness for literature and literary
pursuits, remarks as follows:
1.-The reproach of illiteracy need never
no cast on Christian young men. The Pc,
sition we occupy in this respect Is one OF
| infinite advantage, inasmuch as ne aiohe
whom the truth has made free, has freedom
to develope in heart or intellect to the full
station designed.
If the Committee on Literary Exercises
in an Association goes forward ana does ~
xorl, the field will be found broad enough
and it's work sufficiently important, to EMU
| tie its proceedings to a prominent place IL
the doings of the Society. Its operations
will he beneficial in two-fold manner
rho influence on members will be marked
and direct; every educating effort Will re
suit in an increase of power.
Again, the Exercises may be made
potent means of attracting young men iron
without. We require some counter charm
to the hundred evil allarements modern SO
ciety presents to youth, and a valuable, - !
not a large class. will always be drawn o.
