TUESDAY, FEB. 10, 1857.



We had the pleasure, few days ago, Of
finding in the possession of one Of the mems
be-s of the bar at this place, letter written
by the late Judge Vim. CASTOR, of North Car
DINA, addressed to young friend and relative,
who had just commenced the practice of the
legal profession at Memphis, containing SO
much good sense and practical advice, that
we could not refrain from urging upon him its
publication, particularly, as the worthy gem
tleman TO whom it was addressed, presents in
his own career the most striking illustration of
the benefits resulting from faithful adhe-
renee to the wise suggestions contained in it,
But to the letter:
NEwBERN, March 26, 1912.
Mr. DEAR SGR:-I had the pleasure of receiv-
ing few days since your affectionate letter
of the 4th of this month, ard hasten to assure
you that am gratifed at being named as one
of your referees in the card which you have
caused to be published.
In your professional and private life / shall
always take deep interest. You have en-
tered on a career in which diligence can
scarcely fail to secure your success. Every
motive that can be addressed TO a good heart
and sound head concurs to impress upon
lawyer, the conviction that he owes to his eli
ent the utmost fidelity. lie is charged with
the interests of one unable to act for himself,
and he lie faithlesE to the trnst, if he leaves any
honorable means unexerted to secure and adj
vance those interests. There is no mode so
sure of rising to eminence in the profession as
the exact, punctual, prompt and steady dis
charge of this duty. In the greater-far
greater number of cases, in which a lawyer IS
engaged, extraordinary talents are not re-
quired; but in all, negligence may prove fatally
destructive. An established reputation for
diligence must therefore command employ
ment. No man of common sense can be viii
ling to confde important concerns TO the man
agement of a careless Attorney.
Next to diligence in the discharge of the i'm
mediate duties which you owe to your client
is the obligation of endeavoring to perfect
yourself in the knowledge of your profession.
Suffer no day to pass without study. Read
slowly-make what you read your own by
evisceratiDg the principles on which the doc
trine rests. 1t is impossible to charge the
memory with a vast number of merely arbitra-
ry distinctions; bat the principles on which
they rest are few, and these may be faithfully
treasured.
In making these suggestions, am not so
much Influenced by the belief that you need
them, as by desire 20 show that | am dis
posed to aid you in any way can. TO give
counsel is to assume the office of friend, and
that office is one which towards you l shall
always be happy to discharge.

streets of this town, during the last week Know Moth
ing votes have been freely offered TO Democrats il sup
port Of Col. Davidson for IA vote tor Col. Pond And
we are informed that one of Col. Davdson's Demo-
cratic friends declared he had snapped his vote of
four or five imes!! We ask the Democratic party
of this parish if Dr. Deoney is to be beaten by these
means? The supporters Of Mr.. sigur in this parish
will support the whole ticket They are the nominees
and have been solemnly ratified by both the Davidson
ties and the supporters of Mr. Sgur and as such are
entitled to the support of every true Democrat, We
call on the Democracy to do their duty and mark that
man and that sci Of men forever who are attempting
10 sell their party any of its candidates to Know
Sothngism. Let them be known, and let the Demo
cracy govern themselves accordingly.
Weknow of several of the American party, who refuse
to support Waterston and declare themselves in ia-
vor Of Davidson, Why is this? Have they been as
suea that Col Davidson still enerains the sentiments
expressed by him in the Legislature, which will he
found in the extract from the speech Of Maj Heron
at Grecnwell? And we ask when, where and under
what circumstances has he disavowed them Let his
