PRESCRIPTION FOR OPINION SAKE.

1t was tavoritc theme of dcnunciation. used by
Mr.. Davidson, in the canvass of 1855, the proscrp
tive qualities and tendencies of the Know Nothing
party. No one enveighcd against this more loudly
than himself and his present Democratic supper
ters. Yet. how soon is all this changed They
who condemned an evil so grave and degrading ii
its character, now, not only practice il themselves
but endeayor to have its doctrines carried out by 9th
ers. Some of Mr. Dayidson's friends following his
maxim. " that all those who voted for Mr. Sigur arc
his personal enemies" would regard them as Meir en-
cmics also Thus is with no surprise that we hcai
of the suspension Of business intercourse, the advs
ing of coercve measures of oppression. aud even in
some instances. threats of personal violence against
men, who have committed no other sin but that o
thinking and acting for themselves, and expressing
their opinions iearlessy. and voting as they judged
bcst.
The rule Of Know Nothingism never brought about
such a state of affairs as that we have pictured
Can it for moment he thought that such a policy
will be supported and maintained? Do they who ad
vocatc it, and attempt to exercise it, looshly con
ccivc that free and honest men will ,amcly sub
nit TO such a rule II they do they utterly mistake
the character Of those over whom they would lord il
with high impcricns hand The great principle in
solvcd in the contest from which have Just rctir
ed is too closely connected with our dearest right;
as reomcn 10 be thus ruhlcssy cNtingushcd.-
Though largely in the minority. blow. weak and in
effective it may be considered, has been given lea
wing mark not easily erased. and the time will come
and in another field. and under the same glorious ban
ner Of free and political justice, with The same gal
liant leaders we will again encounter the cohorts
which have rode is down. :" Defeated, not conquer
ed" is our motto. and it remains TO be seen with tn,
just cause we advocate, and the iron will with whcl
we shall support it, whether We shall not be rium

THE RAILROAD.

The election being over and mems minds having
cooled from tho excitement attendant thereon there
i one question which although made part Of the con
test entirely foreign to It and should never have
been associated with it. We allude to that of the
Railroad But now, mon can calmly and sobcrly ex.
anime il. diycstng it of party bias, and est mate the
benefits that are 70 be derived from it, and the lcasi-
bility Of its construction.
The advocates Of the building of a road to con
meet with one leading to New Orleans. are of two
classes. The one favorable to the present road to
Port Hudson being continued to Baton Rouge from
Midway, and The other prclrrrine direct connection
IN South East direction TO The Northern road How
then. are these differences Of opinion to be rcconcil
ed? That there il majority Of the citizens Of the
parish in favor Of the conetructon Of road TO CON
meet US with New Orleans, none will now deny II is
therefore necessary that there should be distinct
understanding as TO which Of these routes should he
preferred How, we repeat. is this to be done? For
our own part, we are unable to answer and throw out
the enquiry for some one more cOnyersant than our
selves with what would tend tie most to the Interests
of the whole people, to answer In doing this they
should be guarded. not to advance their own private
views, but express that Of those the most deeply in
tercstcd, and upon whom will deyolyc the burden o
construction.

TIE ELECTION lN WEST FELlClANA.

While the Democratic ticket in that Parish received
l3O majority, the regular Democratic nominees for
Sheriff and Recorder were both defeated by maoritics
of - and H. respectively. That this was done ly
the Davidson party would have been generally Pre-
sumcd, but is placed beyond all doubt by an article
in the Ledger That paper coolly informs lis readers
Of the fact and compacently ir,sics The means Not
among the least Of the singular incidents that clnr-
accrzod the late election is this omanation and we
insert il for the parusa and consideration OF every
Democratic voter. Truly the term Democracy will
b. but Q byword and areproacl If conduct such as
this can not only be advocated but approved Here
is the article
TIE ELEcuoN.--Thc election on Monday in thi,
Parish passed off very quietly. and resulted in The
success Of The Democratic ticket, with the exception
Of Sheriff and Recorder by IA majority never before
given
+. Y LEAKE. the Independent candidate for Shcr-
III. and ROBr. HALE. the independent candidate for
Recorder were elected over their Democratic compe-
iors by the respective maiortics of ~ and H. This
result should not astonish any when it Is borne
in mind that Mcssrs llealscy and Wedcrsrnndt owed
their nominations to n set OF men who had proclaim.
ed anterior to the election their intention Of voting
against Col Thos Green Davidson, the regular Demo.
cratic nominee for Congress: for this reason we do
say, the particular friends of Col D. would not vote
for aid the election OF the Democratic nominees
for Sheriff and Recorder: especially, when it was
welknown that many of the friends of the iniepcnd-
ent candidates intended to support the regular Demo,
cratic nominee for Congress.
Many will no doubt say that because portion of
the friends Of Iearsey and Wcdersirandt voted for
Sigur it was no reason why the opponents of Sigur
or friends of Davidson, should vote against them
We'll if every voter who preferred Davidson to Sigur
were Christians and believed in and practced the
Injunction given by Saviour, that we must return
good for evil or that when person smites you on
one check, You must turn the other also no doubt
the result would have been different; but such is not
and never was the character of any of our voters
they prefer to help those who help them, and when
the friends Of any particular candidate make public
boast that they will not support another candidate
who also has strong friends, they must expect no
ayors from them.
1t is to be regretted that there was cause for such
state Of affairs in party far rs this Parish is
concerned but it could not be helped and we for
one, perfectly satisfied with the result and so far
as we are personally concerned we are willing to
abide the consequences, and If there is blame in the
matter (Which do not admit under the circum-
stances,) TO receive our share Of it.

SIX weeks campaign in the mountains to the east
