Keep the ball rolling!

MIR. SIguT at BrIVsIe Landing.
We regret exceedingly that the imperative
necessity of cur continued presence in our Of
fee, prevented US from attending the appoint
ments of Mr. SlGUR in this neighboFhood, thai
we might give something like an abstract Of
those sentiments which have suddenly ava.
kened such enthusiasm in the minds of the
people.
On Wednesday Mr.. SIGUR addressed bis
fellow citizens at Brusle Landing in West Ba>
ton Rouge. A friend who was present spoke
in glowing terms Of the sensation he created
there, as equaIied only by the enthusiasm dis
played in this parish. He rode into the action
of the May Convention with spurs sharpened,
and with the firm grip of a new lash, which,
as it occasionally unfolded its silkep coil in
another direction, (after cutting away the veil
which concealed the trickery and corruption of
that memorable body,) would fairly make the
"fur fly" from the man who declares he will
die with the "harness on his back" j. e. that
harness which a corrupt Convention, instituted
by John SIidelI, placed upon him, falsely
to distinguish him as the chosen servant Of the
Democracy TO represent this Congressional
District. In truth, says our friend, Mr.. SIGUR
fairly dayed Old Tom alive, while he left not
a stone uuturned in proving the May ConVen>
ton and its nominee to be 8 fraud and a libel
upon the wishes and sentiments of the people
of this District. To those who have given
their attention TO the Convention alluded to
the expose of Mr. SrGUR was hailed with that
wild applause which ever emanates from the
%votaries of truth and justice.
The address of Mr. Sigur throughout was
applauded with o sincerity that left no doubt
as to its effect, and when he had finished, more
h n a hundred gentlemen, says our informant,
proclaimed for Sigur-or rather, enlisted in
the regiment now forming in this District to
put down the SlidelI autocracy, and other out
side and inside political influences, and form
at the same time the nucleus of q; great Sou
thern Rights party, asking for nothing that is
not right, and submitting to nothing that is
wrong"
After Mr.. Sigur had got through, Maj. Her
ron was loudly called upon, when he assembled
the stand, and with one of his solid, sledge-
BANNER, granite like efforts, for which be is so
distinguished, piling testimony upon testimony
of the illegitimate manner in which Dir. Da-
wilson was nominated, and exposing the per-
Verted principle he now makes use Of as an ex-
for not respecting the wishes, as he pro-
missed, of a respectable portion Of the Demo-
cracy." To his logical truths and scorching
sarcasms, as to those Of Mr.. Sigur, the audi.
paid the most profound attention and
excited to the most enthusiastic applause
seemingly, awakening as it were from a
said our informant, which had hid from
their view the ~corruptions and arts of wires
and the dangers which threaten the
South and call upon them to form in line un-
the banner Of Southern Constitutional
Mr.. Sigur left Brusl6 with the heartfelt
congratulations Of his friends. To-day be
'beards the lion in his dem at a ratification
meeting called by Davidson's friends, to take
at HarVey's Schoolhouse in Livingstop1
parish. He is marching onward like a conque-
or; he wants no rear upon which to fall back
is no manduvering in his tactics as at
sehoolhouse, he will form and charge
his artillery, till the enemy's works are
battered to the earth. His friends-the friends
# Southern Rights-may rest assured that
he peans Of victory will follow in bis foot~
'teps--ahd thai wherever Davidson has his
5ebastopol, there 100 Will sigur have his Ma,
akof.
