Democrat, portions of which are given above, the
Advocate says:
The Democrat ought to know that another Conven
ton is wholly out of the question as matters now
stand Mr.. Dayidson's name is before the people Of
the district, with the sanction Of Democratic Con-
vention and long he permits it to remain before
u.s. it is idle to talk Of another nomination. We are
opposed to any such movement until Mr.. Davidson
signifies his intention Of declining the honor rendered
him on the 18th which he ought and, we believe,
he will do whenever it shall, in his opinion, appear
necessary to the harmony and success Of the party
He is farseeing politician, is well acquainted with
the extent of the present detection in the district
and if his election s the least doubtful and by making
selfsacrce, union and good feeling can be restored,
Mr. Davidson should make that sacrifice cheerfuliy,
promptly, unhesatngly. 1t is left entirely to him
self to say whether new Convention shall be con.
voked be holds the nomination from his party, and
it would be wrong and unjust to proceed to make an
other until Mr. Davidson rejects that rendered him.
Further along, abiding to the communication signed
+" A Proxy Delegate which appeared in the Clinton
Democrat, as previously explained the Baton Rouge
Advocate states:
The withdrawal of minority, by no rule known
to Democratic assembly, can nuify the action OF
the remaining majority and in this instance after
the number had been reduced to 70, fifteen votes
would have made the nomination just as binding as ii
the whole Sc had been cast and the nominee had re-
ceiyed 20 of them. No reasonable mind will deny
Democratic, and one which every Democrat must
maintain Those who left the Convention on the 18th
instant are alone responsible for the Acknowledgement
of the parishes they represented and the charge from
them that the nominee received minority OF the
votes Of the district, with peculiar bad grace,
inasmuch as the cause is explained in their action.
And thus concludes a.t=
We regard the principles and usages of our party
far above all other issues that have grown out OF this
unfortunate squabble and it is for these that we are
contending. We ignore men in the position we oc-
cupy, and call upon the faithful Democracy OF the
Third Congressional District to rally around the
ancient landmarks of our party, and protect and
preserve them from all innovation, now and forever
Now, if there is not q family fight in delightful
progress in the Third District will the Advocate please
tell us what is progressing
And as the Advocate truthfully and sensibly re-
marks that "it is left entirely to himself (Mr David
son,) to say whether new Convention shall be CON
voked," we append what we said in previous arti.
Gle I" The antiSdellsns might as well submit their
necks to the yoke without further grumbling. They
will be compelled to wear it whether they like it OF
not" ''
|. The Honorable Thomas Green Davidson will never
permit the calling Of another Convention, if he can
prevent it. He would be dolt if he did. and he is
not dolt. He is " as keen as brier." ~
