ANOTHER ROW In THE THIRD CON
GREssIoNAL DISTRICT.


sions It's pretensions on the of rows are being
admitted on all hands. The general Davdsonian row,
which prevails throughout the entire District has
originated a large number of small rows, quite as
bitter and unreenting, according to proportion in
many OF the parishes, and the national Democracy
therein-pide sale Of Kansas to the Freesoers by
Buchanan and Walkers getting no beatef fast'
in the way of harmony. They are quarredng with
each other-telling tales upon each other-and get
ting into an nterminable and vindictve snarl gen
orally. $50
Verify, if things keep going on at this rate, the
people-the honest masses-will begin to believe IN
the stories told on both Sides and if they do, the
leaders on both sides will assuredly be overwhelmed
by a storm Of popular indignation. If the Demo-
cratic reports which continually set afioat pro
and con-, are entitled to credence, it is certain as
the sun shines at monday that the Democratic voters
of the Third District ought to get new and honest
set of political leaders, 1t is clear those they now
have will not answer any eminently honorable or par
ticularly serviceable purpose. s....
In the parish of Pointe Coupee there is rumpus
Of extraordinary dimensions for its size" The Echo
is the Democratic journal for that parish. 1t is OPP
posed to Davidson, and is in favor of new Conven-
ton and new Congressional candidate. This has
drawn upon it the indignation of the Davidson De-
mocracy of the parish. Recently the Democrats Of
two wards assembled in primary meeting, denounced
the Echo declared that it had forfeited the confidence
of the Democracy, and recommended the establish
ment Of another paper which would J" faithfully and
fully represent the true Democratic sentiment of the
parish etc. This to us outsiders, appears rather I'M
kind for to certain knowledge the Echo has never
failed to bestow hearty blow upon the American
party and American principles whenever an oppor-
tunity presented itself. Them .again, why should
refusal to support the nomination of Davidson carry
with it forfeiture Of the confidence Of the Democ-
racy, when Davidson himself only few months ago,
repudiated the nomination of his party for Judge in
the Livingston District, voted for an independent
candidate and is charged with having defeated, by
vote and acts, the regular Democratic nominee !?
These being undisputed and unquestionable facts the
inference is as irresistible as demonstration itself that
the editor Of the Ponte Coupee Echo has forfeited
the confidence" of the Democracy of that parish by
refusing to support the duly chosen candidate for
Congress- Davidson--that Davidson has forfeited
the confidence of the entire Democracy Of the Third
Congressional District by refusing to vote for the reg
ulary selected Democratic nominee for Judge in the
Livingston District! If the editor Of the Echo is
guilty Of violation Of Democratic usage, Davidson is
still more guilty. for he set at naught and waged
against the ancient customs of all political organza-
tons, oheyed and enforced from time immemorial.
There being no escape from these conclusions, it is
evident that the anti-Echo Democrats of Pointe
Coupee have condemned Davidson and themselves
in condemning the editor of the Echo. for the
outrages upon Democratic usage alleged to have been

The editor Of the Echo don't seem the least bit
alarmed at the trucuent proceedings of the Davidson
Democrats. Instead of evincing apprehension he
handles them without gloves. From an editorial in
his issue of the sth instant we take the following
No! Democrats of Pointe Coupee, the whole pro-
ceedings and transactions OF that meeting the
production of man. and his object not so much
to ratfy Davdson's nomination as it to create
opportunity to make thrust at and to attempt to
attach censure to the name of of Pointe Coupee
brightest ornaments for all that high toned honora-
Would that we could say one half as much in favor of
him whose political course in this parish has been
marked by supereiliousuess and with overbearing
tyranny. Democracy and B. B. SHINES are incom-
patible either the other must give way, and
that very soon. The course which he is pursuing
now, unless cut Short is destined to disrupture the
Democratic party in this parish, and widen the
already terrible breach in our ranks This accom-
plished, and he will have arrived at the goal of his
ambition. sF
Our contemporary speaks warmly and decidedly anG
has not apparently, the smallest concern for the ad
versares in his political household. OF the verify
Of his observations it is not our province to judge
and besides, we never NEEDLE in family quarres.
We are acquainted with both the gentlemen named

Col. Claiborne is a beautiful writer and an exceen
speaker. The junior editor of this paper has know
him long, well and agreeably, and wishes him un
bounded success in everything save politics; and
the Colonel would take bold and uncompromisin
stand in favor of the section of his BIRTH and hui

lowest understrapper, he has few friends who woul

Gen. B. B. Simmes, the State Senator from tn
Pointe Coupee District, we have always found to b
courtly, afable, pleasant gentleman, and POLITICAL
as rigid Democrat as rigidity would permit.
" Democracy and B. B. SHINES are incompatible,
the erstwhile Macedonian Democracy of Point
Coupee are in a miserably poor way. He has bee
the bright and shining lght-the pillar Of strength
of the dominant party of that parish for many year
has worked for it, toiled for it, and built it up
and if he is incompatible !" with an organization
constructed under such auspices, surely Babellik
confusion must be prevailing, and Babellike d,
struction impending.
| The Echo does not give a full explanation, hov
ever, in our humble judgment. The prejudice again
| Gen. SHINES in the parish of Pointe Coupee, an
against Col. Davidson in the Third Congression
District, is not so much against them as individual
as it is against them members of the Slidell R
gency" Not only in the Third District, but through
out the State, there symptoms of rebellion again
the autocratic assumptions and dictatorial bearing
that /" Regency which has been, since it mounted
power, oyerbearng and tyrannical than ever IL
famous Albany Regency" instituted by Martin Va
Buren, in New York, presumed to be. That the ISL
dell Regency must go down, or that the Democrat
party must 60 down, we consider as certain as th
the seasons will perform their allotted round. Pr
verbal as are the Democrats of Louisiana for the
party loyalty, they cannot and will not consent

INSCRIPTIONS clique of politicians.

This is the language attributed to our candidate
Auditor of Public Accounts in relation to the CT
gressional nomination, by the editor of the Sug
Planter, Know-Nothing paper published in t
parish of West Baton Rouge. We have no doubt
its correctness, as we heard Col Robertson avow,
substance the same thing. 1t ought to be the ser
ment of every nominee in the field. 1t is honest
is right, and it is Democratic. No candidate,
have ever and do still contend, has any right or
