SIeUR IN TBERy1ELE.--We were informed
yesterday by gentleman who was at Bayou
Goula on Thursday, and heard Mr.. sIGUR's ad-
dress, that he had good authority for saying
that Mr.. srGuR would get all Bay5l Goua =
and that he did not think his majority in the
parish would be less than 600! We state elae-

EPNaj. McCardIe has issued a prospectus tor
for a new journal at Vicksburg, entitled "Ihe
True Southron," which will ignore all the old
party organizations, and advocate, as the best
security for the South, the Independent action
of Southern men, regardless Of party leaders
and party dictation. We have no doubt that
| the most abundant success will attend the en-
~terprise of Mai. McCardle. The time is ripe
for --CreScent.
The present political condition of the coun"
try loudly calls for editors like Mr.. McCARDLE
who will advocate "the best security for the
| South" "regardless of party leaders or party
d~ictation !" and there area abundant signs that
not only is such a course about being taken
by able journalists in our State and other secr
tons of the South, but that such a course is
being demanded by the people. The nominas
ton of MIR. S1GUR shows that honor and "secu'
! rity for the South is the all-absorbing topic, be-
fore which party dictation, if not party rules,
| fall impotent and weak in their binding upon
the people. And it is right that it should be
so. Too long have the masses humbled them
selves to this or that oilystongued demagogue
whose smooth and sweet paiaVer and polished
address, are allowed to win for him a distinc~
ton which, were the people less bound and
gagged by party discipline, tyranny and m~isrule,
he never could reach, for his superficial abilities
would then be too easily discovered. "Secur-
ity for the South" rests in the placing in pow.
er men of pure, legitimate ability, firm in pur~
pose, ready in debate, fearless in their denun>
Citations, bowling to no one-man power, no
~cliques-nothing but God and their country
who would slight for the Union and die for the
South" But such men never will attain that
distinction, unless editors, like the gentleman
above, strike with a bold pen "for the indepen~
dent action of Southern men," ignoring all old
party rules and organizations.

Hon, L.. J. Sigurs

The Natchez Free Trader, in noticing the
proceedings ofthe late Convention, makes the
following remarks relative to Dir. SIGUR:
We presume that, unless he (Davidson,)
withdraws, Mr.. Sigur will not.
Ia that event, we should most certainly sup
port Mr.. Sigur. Why? Because we regard
the honor Of the South as paramount TO, the
success of the National Democratic party; j
Il 4 and because Col. Davidson refuse to
speak out on this question, giving countenance
and support to his silence, while the conven"
ton that nominated Mr.. Sigur condemned the
Walker course. Upon this ground we would
support and would like to see all true South~
ern Democrats support Mr.. Sigur, for even if
| defeated, it will rally and band together a party
of true Southern Rights Democrats-a con-
summation d~eyoutly to be wished for in
Louisiana.
In Mr.. Sigur the South and the Southern
| Democratic party would find a most able and
| skiIful champion. He is true to the South and
all her interests. 1t is true, we understand,
that he is under the ban of Mr.. Slidell-most
probably simply because he is State Rights,
| Southern Rights in his feelings and actions
But ifhe and the great Soule are prescribed in
Louisiana, they have the sympathy and respect
of the State Rights Democracy of Mississippi
and every other "Cotton State" because they
stand together, and are fighting for the same
principles.
We confess we have no admiration for Mr..
| SiideIl as a politician. We have never thought
him true TO the South; nor have we ever
brought ourselves to endorse his code of ethics,
morally or politically. We cannot forget that
he was the instrument to defeat Stephen A.
Douglas in the last Cincinnati Convention, and
tina: too in direct violation of the expressed
voice of the Democratic Convention of Louisia-
ma that appointed delegates to the National
Convention. His money may be all powerful
in Louisiana, the uses to which he applies it
only secures him the contempt of Mississippi
Democracy.

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL D1sTRIcr.--We uns
derstand that the Hon. Laurent J. Sigur has
accepted the nomination conferred upon him
by the Auti~Davidson, Anti-SIidell, Anti.Cus
tom House Democratic Convention, which met
in Baton Rouge on Monday last, and that he
will enter upon an active canvass Of his Dis.
trict in a few days. Mr.. Sigur is State Rights
Democrat of the s~trictest sect; and. if he can
ever catch up Withhold Tom Green, will make
the fur fly ~ quantities that will be astonish4
Wig to all fortunate beholders.
The war between the SlidelIians and Anti,
Slidellians has now fairly commenced, and will,
We trust, end in a compile discontinue of the
former. If the State is TO remain in the hands
Of the Democracy, BY all means let it 20 into
the hands of the State Rights Democracv.-
That sort Of Democracy commands our respect,
for it is composed of men high-toned and
honest, who believe in principle for the sake II
principle, not for the 'spoiIs," as does the
clique TO which they are opposed Crescent

Closing Razou rlaauernine,

The Police Jury Of this parish, We under
stand, at its meeting last Monday, passed a
resolution by s to Q in favor of closing Bayou
P~laquemihe. This is very significant Of the
wishes of the people of the parish. Col. SIm-
MONS, one of the members, made use of argu~
ments in support Of the theory that the closing
Of this bayou would not increase The rise of the
water, which seemed conclusive and satifactory
to his listeners. 1t may be as well here to re.
mark that Col. s. is a candidate for the Legiss
lature, and will go there Jfhe lives. We will
have more to say upon this subject in our mex
land will also give a compendium of the POI
lice Jury proceedings.

The TRUE SoUTHRoN.--Such is the title OF
a new paper about to be established in Vicks~
burgh, by our old friend Of Tropic memory
WA. H. MCCARDLE, who may now be ranked
as a veteran of the press. He is a.fne scholar,
a ready and forcible writer, more argumentatiVe
probably than eloquent, and well versed in the
political history of the country. We predict
for him a brilliant success, such as no editor in
Vicksburgh, save one, has ever reached. In
bis prospectus he uses the following language
language which the evils and necessities of
the present political era, urgently demands:
The True Southron will be a thoroughly in~
dependent Southern journal, and will recognize
no allegiance to parties, politicians or party
platforms. 1t will maintain earnestly and with
whatever ability the editor may possess, the
rights, the honor, the interest, and the perfect
equality Of the South in The Union, so long as
these cherished objects can be maintained there;
and when The Union fails to afford US the pros
lection 10 which we are justly entitled, it will
take bold and manly ground for theirperserva~
ton out of it.
DIR. McCARDLE will be seconded and aided
in such a cause by many able and sympathi-
zing contemporaries in the South.

rThe little paper called The Star, at Bats
ton Rouge, published by Young America

assure the editor that sickness and business to,
gether caused US to overlook his claims upon
our courtesy, but that we will try to make all
right in future.

IberyIlle in q Rlaze!

To-day at IL o'clock, Hon, L. J. SIGUR will
address his fellow citizens upon the position he
occupies as a candidate for Congress in this
District. The excitement in this his native
parish, in favor of this gentleman, is running
very high, and adherents in every direction, and
ofeVery political stripe, are locking daily to his
standard, and proclaiming him the man for the
cri>is-the firm champion which the South
wants at this time in the Congress Of the Uni-
ted States. A gentleman informs US who is
Just from Crosse Tele, that he does not believe
a single MN on the Bayou will vote against
him! Such being the feeling, Mr.. BALcH's
declaration 4: Baton Rouge that this parish
viii give Mr.. SIaUR three or four hundred ma
jority, will fall fur snort of the mark.
We therefore anticipate an immense crowd
in town To-day TO hear the able an eloquent
address which the people of IberTille may exs
pect from its distinguished orator and statess
man. If there were no other reason, parish
pride would of itself cause Mr.. SIGUR to have
an overwhelming vote here;b but when the peO-
pie know him to be learned, patriotic, and able
to cope with the p~roudest in our National hall
Of Representatives, besides loving him for his
manly virtues and noble instincts, who could
fora moment doubt that his opponent or ops
ponents will get anything but a skeleton sup
port in IberVille?
We speak thus, because we know we are Ut
tering truths which are palpable and beyond
contradiction.
His enthusiastic supporters will fall in line
to-day and escort MIR. SIGUR to the stand by
the music of GIaser's splendid band, or rather
we presume this, as we learn this band has
been engaged and we learn also that a flag is
secured, with "Sigur ind he South" embla~
zoned upon it, which will en- this occasion be
thrown to the abattle and the breeze"
No such excitement for many a day, has stirs
red the breasts of the people of this parish. 1t
is prompted by a noble f%eeling~-the elevation
of distinguished son who is ready at all times
to eight for the Union and die for the South r
