Washington advises III that Mr. 81 ii 10th to give up
ha present position in the United States Senate
it y thought that few more Candle Lectures
from his better half will induce him to surrender Of
discretion, and quietly submit to the wishes Of the
powers that be- Mr.. slidell would no doubt make
faithful representative Of the United States at the
court 81 the French Emperor, and he would give
general satisfaction TO the country Should MI s. 20

Senators to elect, instead Of one"

he will consent to oblge the President. We should

Slidell wishes TO go, d Northern and Southern and

she ought to be gratiiied in her wish and Mr. Slide

perceive how be can conveniently do otherwise,
under the circumstances II The abominable intima-
ton about " Lectures thrown forth by our Claiborne
contemporary has the slightest foundation in truth to
rest upon. which We don't believe il has.
Besides, Ne rather incline to the opinion that Mi.
8lidell would make an excellent Minhter-in fine,
better Minister than Senator. Hence the State and
country 4 large would gain while neither could lose

The Advocate then speaks of the Senatorship and
the claims Of North Louisiana in the following terms:
We claim for North Louisiana one of the United
States Senator'S should it become necessary to elect
two and nm equal chance with the Southern portion
OF the State, should only one be elected. We are
justly entitled to us Senator from every consider
alton Of position and Justice. We pay large portion
Of the State tax portion Of the State is settling up
faster than any other. and have, from our varied
interest in connection with the Government. much
need for Representative who fully understands our
rights and interests. Nj. Slide and Benjamin are
both from the lower portion Of the State and we are
Justly entitled by every principle Of equality to U.
>. Senator. We have heard the names Of several
gentlemen from this portion of the State mentioned
u connection with the U. s. Senatorshp viz Henry
Cray, Esd, Of Bienyle; John Ray ESD, Of Monroe;
Shreveport; Hon. II. NJ. Spoford, of the Supreme
Court, and Mr.. Parham, Of Carroll
The following il the concluding paragraph of the
article from which we have quoted, and we publish
Y with pleasure and endorse it with satisfaction
There is great necessity at this time from the dis
tracted state of the country, that Louisiana should
have an able and bold man to represent her in the
Senate, and we hope no other will be selected We
want true Southern man, and tricky politician
and wre-worker in the U. s. Senate man who is |
Able to get up on tue floor Of the Senate at all times
and with dignity and ability defend the rights of the
Sonth and this State, and reflect honor upon those
who sent him there. Such man would suit ma |
ority Of the people Of this State
That the necessity portrayed above exists there
Is no Doubt and that It's requirements can be fully
met 4 the delegation from North Louisiana will vote
Tor an able and bold man., true Southern man. 2
md q man who is able to get up on the floor Of
he Senate at all times and with dignty and ability
leend the rights Of the South and this Statethere
as little doubt. And, with the Advocate, we firmly
relieve that the election Of G such man would suit
majority Of the people Of this state,n and IN over
vhelming majority at that.
