10" The Baton Rouge Advocate falls out with the
New Orleans Crescent. How Is thia? But short
time since, they were cheek by jowl in support of
Davidson. The Cresccn's articles defending David
sons nomination, were quoted as orthodox authori-
Ivy by the Advocate. In what has IL changed? The
Crescent is DESTROYS now, il has been from the first
that Davidson should run, knowing full well that
that is the only chance FOR Watterson. The Advo
cate should have into this cunning device
and not bostered up the Crescents course by appro
batory notices and quotations of its articles. The
Crescent is DESTROYS that Davidson should rum so Is
the Advocate. The Crescent boldly assumes what
will result. Can the Advocate deny the possibility
of its assumption. There is but one way to defeat
the object of the Crescent. IN is not get too ae!"-
Let Davidson withdraw. w.

AFRICAN LABOR.

The high price Of cotton united with the great and
constantly augmenting demand for tropical staples
is having its effect the scnsibilites OF trans.
atlantic philantlropsts. There is a well auihenti-
Gated rumor ailoat in Paris. that the Emperor Napo.
leon has given permission to house at Marscilles TO
fit out an expedition for importing 10000 free me-
grocs, SO called into the French colonies and that
one vessel has already sailed to Quidah on the coast
of Africa, well known rs slave trading port to OBJ
tain negroes for that purpose. Whether this story
is true not is not yet known, though II has been
made the subject Of ministerial Interpolation in the
British Parliament.
Whether this will turn out to be true or false IT
cannot be denied that the transportation of African
laborers to the West Indies is one Of the most anx
iously discussed questions Of the present day in both
England and France
The London Times, in nm extraordinary article
upon the Slave Trade, directly maintains that such
importation Of free black labor would operate as
an electual remedy for the slave trade, and point
eddy says ave should rejoice, therefore, TO see the
recent suggestions of certain active philanhropiss
carried into effect, and legitimate supply Of labor
established by proper communications between Airi-
ca and the West Indes.'
inc Now 1oTk courier ana EHIWT correctly
charges that this project owes its inception, not to
philanthropy, the Times would have it appear, but
to the hard and stubborn fact of political economy,
that there is great and growing deficiency in the
labor supply of the West India Islands. The amount
of available labor in these islands has been vastly
diminished by the emancipation of the blacks in the
British and Fench colonies, while the spread of civil
lzation, and increase of population in the temperate
attitudes of the world, has every year increased the
demand for tropical products. II has become then,
problem which cannot be got rid of, how that la
Dor is to be supplied 1t cannot be obtained from
the white race, for that the tropical climate neXora-
bly, torbds. 1t is pretty well established that the
Coolies cannot supply it, for all experiments to that
end have substantially failed. Nor can any induce
ments prevail upon the mass of the black population
of the islands to hire themselves to employers and
perform faithful service. To import blacks from
abroad vihoM their consent and hold them to compul-
sorry service would be to reestablish Slavery, which
by law has been abolished and to reinstate the slave
trade which has been made piracy by all civilized
nations IL would seem that there is but one re-
source left--the importation of blacks with their
consent, under regulations that should prevent their
service from taking the type of Slavery, and
| 1t the character of mere hired employment. The
great question now is whether that is an available
resource, a practicable expedient-M ssssppian.

Gs-"Tf you don't support the nominee of this

correctness. as we have heard Col Robertson, avow

We have heretofore labored under the opinion,
that the language above, attributed to Col Il. W.
Robertson, was the coinage of the Know-Nothing
Press, but here we see endorsement of it by the
Bayou Sara Ledger. This and other remarks, which
that paper has placed in its columns coming from
Mr.. Robertson, has been preudica to his interests
in this parish. This we regret. for personally, he
was our choice. To the antDavidson delegates was
he mainly indebted for his nomination. and the Ian
guage attributed to him, is but sorry return to
them for their support We trust that the true friends
of Mr. Robertson, in his absence, will advise him of
the injury being done him by these ardent support
ers of Mr.. Davidson, so that he may place himself
right before the people ON this point. Mr.. Robert

Gis- The Davidson papers in this district act with
but little consistency. The friends of new
ton are abused, denounced and classcd rs Know
Noth:ngs, yet the most stirring and urgent appeals
are made to them to withdraw their opposition and
support Davidson. That opposition is founded on
principle and justice and to abandon the one is to
deny the other. Neither caolery or threats will
have any effect If Davidson and his friends persist
in sacrificing the success of the Democratic party in
this district to his mad ambition, upon their heads
let the sin rest. They forewarned and no apollo
gy, no subterlnge, will avail them. A divided dem
ocracy will be the final result of their short sighted
and bgoted policy if they still continue to pur-
sue it.. w.

SuGAR.--If the developments made by the Boston
Society of Natural History be trustworthy, there is
little to be hoped for from the cultivation Of the
Chinese Sugar Cane in this country. 1t was stated
there by Dr. Hays, who had put the matter to sccn-
tilc tests that The Soyhnm cultivated in This country does
mol secrete sur cae, true sugar. its saccharne maer
being purely glucose in semfma form. For sweeten-
ing properties nearly four pounds Of this glucose
would be required to equal one of true sugar; but
as raw material for the production Of spirit and
an addition to the forage crop, the plant may be
found to have high economical Importance.
Professor John Bacon confirmed the results at
which DR.. Hays had arrived. He was unable to OBJ
tain any chrystals of cane sugar in the Sorghum.

Sir: As there has been but little or nothing said

gressional honors feel that there Is an obligation

Democrats of the Third Congressional district, the
position occupied by large number of the Demo-
cratic voters of St. Helena. The old war horse as
he is sometimes called. has never been nor is he now
the choice of a majority of the Democrats of this
parish But his friends succeeded in obtaining for
him majority of the delegates, and out Of respect
for the members of our party. forbear making any
comments upon how 1t was done. And now that he
is before the party as candidate for Congress, q
still forbear to make any comments upon the action

his running although large majority of the party

ingncss to support him, and from all can learn
there is not parish In the district but what presents
some objections to Col Davidson's continuing in the
field Yet with all these objections and defeat star
ing them in the face, they persist in forcing him
upon the party, and in parish they use the very
cfcctua remedy of threatening parish candidates
with defeat If they do not come ont and use their
influence in favor Of Davidson. Now, I ask If this
is fair? Is such course likely to produce good
results? And fit Il to be adopted and the party
have to swallow Davidson any how, take my word
for IT, that great many Democrats here. well as
in other places will have to be treated like refracto

will have TO be held by the nose This would be the
case now, and don't you think they will strange

the design. Santa Anna desires the res
