Samuel Matthew's, Esa.

1t viii be seen, under the proper head, that
this gentleman has been brought out by his
friends, irrespective of party, for the office of
Judge of this Judicial District.
10 offices of this character, it makes a
mighty difference in the mind of a voter, (and
has great influence in forming his opinion as
TO whom he shall vote for,) to know whether
the candidate seeks the Office or is sought for
it. People will be suspicious of a man in
sotue way, to say the least, who makes himself
prominent or notorious in his desires or exer-
tons TO get on the Bench. or in placing his
name favorably before the public for that po-
sition.
1t affords US pleasure, then, to state, that to
our knowledge Mr.. MATTHEWS had not the
least idea of becoming a candidate for this
office-and was not aware that he was thought
of 10 connection with that position-before it
was announced to him by a Democratic friend
that he, sin connection with others of his
friends, had handed in the announcement for
publication"
We did not m this for the purpose
of enditing any encomiums upon the charac~
ter of MFR. MATTHEWS. He is we'll known in
TbervilIe and East Baton Rouge, and has, we
have no doubt, a large number of friends in
West Baton Rouge. We have no hesitation
in saying, however, that his abilities, and
habits, and character, peculiarly fit him for the
Bench-and if elected, we are fully persuaded
that he will devote unusual energy and in
dustry in the pursuit of his studies and the
business of his Court.
In any other complexion of the candidacy
for this office lin all probability Mr.. MAT
THEws could not have been induced TO run,
but as it is, he is in the hands of his friends,
let the result be as it will.
The voters of this District, then, must res
member that SAMUEL MATTHEWS is in the
field as a candidate irrespective of party This
name was handed into this office by one of
the most popular Democrats in the parisb1 for
Judge of the Sixth Judicial District. He is
honest, firm, fully capable though young; and
will be faithful, Jealous, Industrious and i'm
partial if elected.
These are the only requirements that an
honest voter can demand.
