New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1857-09-30

Believe not this to be exaggerated In any particu
lar. With the exception Of the men in Office, and
the immediate satellites hangersOn and retainer oil
members Of the junta there Is hardly one man in the
party who does not hail with delight the present
3. awakening from lethargy Of the Democracy Of the
Third Congressional District, and does not bid God
speed to the work inaugurated there for one feel
that the moment is not far distant when the shackles
OF partisan servitude shall be thrown off, and the
dictat0ral powers who have so long controlled the in
tegence Of the people, shall be called to an account
This writer, 30 strongly endorsed by the Gazette
high Democratic authority says harsher things Of
| the Sldell autocracy than we have yentured upon
butfor saying which we have been brought sharply
to task by several Of our Democratic contemporaries
We trust the organs Of " the elect Twill now pay
some little attention to their own party assaant and
| let us alone. -
KThe writer states very truly what we have stated
time and again, and for stating which we have been
reproved by uniformed Democratic papers, that I'M
til the slidell coterie is in this city, it
is needless to expect y that the Democracy will
arouse itself to action and battle for long while yet
to come" True, very true. The best portion Of the
party, from the gifted and eloquent Soule down,
under ban Of inexorable ostracism, and until that
ban is removed it is contrary to human nature to
pect that they will work for prosecutions sake solely
That ban can only be removed by the demolition Of
the aforesaid sldell coterie." Furthermore, the
political destruction Of that clique is necessary pre-
requisite to the establishment Of a pure and strong
and faithful Southern Rights party in louisiana
contamination we look upon as of paramount import
anee, and which we think every good citizen of the
South should look upon as of paramount importance
Further along the writer for the Iberyile Gazette
says:
The pseudo nomination of Mr.. Davidson was
gross insult to the intelligence, honesty and patriot
Ism OF the District It was effected by fraud and
gross deception. The influences which, like the upas
tree, wither every thing which it touches, were
brought into requsition and succeeded in achieving
the result The Custom House, with its ordly Col
ector at the head contributed the phaanx Of opera
tors in the city and furnished the wire-pullers in
several parishes Under the pretence of making an
official tour through the State to examine the cond
tlon OF the Swamp Lands, official high in the con
adence q the administration and not inaptly termed
the prince Of intrigue, arranged matters to suit

Davidson. Another one, conspicuous in this city for

Oldfashioned Democrats should read the above
quotations reflect upon them-and then make up
their own conclusions. They come from prominent
member of their own ranks and cannot, therefore be
made amenable to the charge Of partisan prejudice.
Another correspondent Of the Gazette, writing
from Bayou Goula over the signaturegof Alpha, y
pitches into Davidson Slide & Co., with vim that
is specially refreshing to all those who are not hit.
We append a few suggestive extracts
The masses of the people hereabouts, and particu-
larly the responding Democrats, begin to breathe
distance beacon light Of hope-that hereafter DO.
ltca ricksters shall not be enabled through nonied
influence to thrust upon them and place in the coun
clls Of the nation who disgrace

There is one sad mistake that the Democratic party
have made in setting up as their motto, Principles,
not men, etc. If this doctrine were carried out-as
unfortunately it has been to great extent of late
i must inevitably sink this Republic to the lowest
depths of degradation in the shortest possible length
81 time IL 1t possible that people become so in
fatnated as to advocate the doctrine of sending rogues
and murderers TO Congress and to Legislatures to
make COED fa,cs for the nation, when assured
that honest men are to be found who are willing to
serve their country? Will we send men there who
| can be made tools for John Shders money or any
other mans money! II so, then let us send Green
Davidson, whom the Black Republicans can purchase
OF any moment for a te,o thousand cooly offered
AS regards your course in dropping the name of
Davidson and advocating our felow.citizen who has
spent large Fortune for the benefit of the South and
her institutions you deserve the gratitude of all good
honest Democrats-and Americans also-and / can
assure you that every honorable Democrat in this
neighborhood and parish will and do uphold You in
your course for there is honorable Or honest man
who can uphold the Slidell clique of knaves whose
sole aim isto rue or RUM the entire fabric of our
free institutions through the basest of corruption
Above, fellow citizens Of the State without distnc-
ton Of party, you have Democratic testimony against
Davidson, and against the "Slidel coterie, . which
has ruled this commonwealth with rod of iron for
several years past We have presented it as we found
it. and have commented upon as we thought proper
The issue is before you and it is for you to make up
q suitable verdict
If, as we conscientiously believe the allegations
put forward true, then it is as clear as demonstra
ton itself that highest interests Of the Statethat
our honor and character as sovereign member of
the confederacy demand change of men, a change
Of measures, and atradical change of public policy.
