The Bayou Sara Ledger Is a strong Democratic
paper, and what is more, it is bold and manly
paper, and has supported Col. Davidson from the
start with much zeal, energy and ability. Believing
him to have been fairly nominated, it has chung TO
him through evil and through good report, and has
evnced more tact and strength in defending him from
the open and covert attacks Of his party oppo.
nents, than those opponents have manifested in their
mode Of warfare. Nay, more than this the Ledger
has carried the war into Africa in order to y1ndi'
cate its own position and to show up the garing IN
consistency Of those who are warning upon the att
tude it has assumed.
In the Ledger Of the LIST instant, we find a long
article going to prove that those Democrats who were
foremost in boiling the Convention, and have since
deurred to the fairness of the nomination and the
political and moral status Of the nominee VINO charge
wire-working and trickery upon him (Col. Daydson)
and his Friends themselves the first to resort TO
wire.working and trickery-the first to enter upon
and consurrmate bargain with express view to
the nomination of particular candidates.
The article is so pertinent-so full of interesting
revelations we append it entire, for the general
benefit:

thereby that under-hand influences were brought 70

along that this was not so, and that no man could
bring forward any proof to sustain the correctness Oh
such an assertion. We also knew that on the other
side of the house an actual bargain was made to de-
feat Col Davidson in the nomination for congress OF
this District but did not wish to lay these facts pc
fore the public for we were satisfied with all inc no
nations that made both by the state ana Lstr1ct

What think you of that? Yes, asportion of these

Congressional matter, that Ddridsons friends were
the political demagogues and wire-workers! Ihey

gressional nomination, and when the woolhat boys
would not let them succeed, they cry out trickery

ask did he complain? Did he not get up and pledge
himself to the support of Col Robertson! Does he not

liciana, abide by and support that nomination! 10
all ofthese questions we unhesatnsly state that all
will bear us out in saying he did not complain-he
did get up and state in the hall OF the House OF
Representatives that he would support Col Robertson
for Auditor-he does support him noac, and icN at
the ballot box in November and every friend of his
will do the same "BARGAIN'' beat him for Auditor
yet we never would have said a word about it had
not those pure men, who tried to beat Col Davidson
in the same way, attempted to make the people be
lieve that Col Davidsons friends secured his nomina
ton by unfair means
| Col. Davidson owes his nomination to no untail
meaus-he had no State officials to work for him
his friends had no offices to give to secure him q
single vote, but he was nominated, and that, too
fairly and squarely, by the pure and undeled Demo
cracy of the Third Congressional District How hi
could have succeeded with all the opposition thai
was brought to bear against him was question
which puzzled the boilers and their sympathizer
amazingly; but to us, it was plain sailing, and a
natural as could be for, we knew he had the peopl
4 on his side and was bound to win. The people knew
nothing about tricking man into office, consequently
\ when these same men who wanted to put him dow
