parish and throughout the district will settle

The Courier closes its article by giving ut.
terance TO the following threats:
"If the Democrats of the district unite victory is
sure. The men who hinder that union will hc duly
remembered by the Courier. long after the Novcm-
Der election. We beg all parties TO rccollect that
our denial of the right Of any minority to make n
nomination has been distinct and emphatic"
We sincerely trust that the Courier will keep
its promise of duly remembering those who
hinder tie union of the democratic party, We
hope it will clay on and spare net" for they
richly deserve all that can possibly be inflicted,
and we fear that the nagcaiions Of the Cou.
rier even, will not bring them back to n sense

any means to forget that though Col David.
son has been respectfully invited to Withdraw
for the safety Of the democratic party that he
has no "disposuion' whatever to do 50. IL the
party is to be defeated, Col Davidson has no
disposition" to save it. If the party is to be
harmonized, he has no disposition TO unite
it. Cherish these things up in your memory,
dear Courier, and when November comes and
is past. remind those who hinder the union Of
the party Of their sins. Remind Col David
son Of lis having no disposition" to unite and
harmonic it. If We mistake not, it is not the
first time in the political history Of the Florida
parishes that he has had mo disposition to
aid in uniting and thereby securing the success
of the democracy. His disposition" is now
no greater than it was when Pricur ran against
Roman for Governor; when Lawson ran against
CHM for Congress: when Elgec ran against
Merrick for the Chief Justiceship when Bowie
ran against Wilson for Judge in the Sth Dis

"RULE OR RUIN"

Although Col. Davidson has had every as
surance, and in every possible FORM that his
continuing in the field as a candidate for Con
gress is jeopardzing the success of the State
and local ticket; although his friends and adj
yocates say he should have Withdrawn for the
sake Of the party; although he pledged himself
If he were Objectionable to a respectable por,
ton Of the democratic party he would with
draw; although it has been shown him that he
is Objectionable TO large portion Of the par
ty; aud although it is well known to every
democrat in the district and State that his
withdrawal would unite and harmonic the
party, and unQuestionably secure the triumph
of our local and State tickets yet he persists
with madness to keep the field alleging he
has neither the right nor disposition TO with
draw The State ticket may be covered with
the disgrace Of defeat, but he will not retire;
the local tickets may go down befor the forces
Of Know othingism, but he will not with.
draw; and the democratic party may be bro
ken in pieces and destroyed, but lie will con-
time in the field, let the consequences be what
they may. lie could and he might have
ayerted the storm which threatens to sweep
down and destroy the democratic party, but
he would not He and his "eyil advisers" are
determined to "rulc or ruin" and for this
course he assigns as his reason chat he has
neither the right nor disposition to withdraw"
No one ever questioned his disposition, nor has
he been seriously suspected Of any inclination
to forcgo the "lorlorn hope" of Congressional
honors. If he has not the right, who has ?
Who compels him /? Who has deprived him Of
this right ? Who has robbed him Of his per-
sonal liberty, and driven him to disregard the
advice Of his advocates and friends and forced
him to ieopardize the success Of the State and
local tickets, and destroy all hopes Of the sue
cess of the party. Why his own in.dispostion'
his own mad and oervaultng ambition that
is hurrying him to destruction. Let our prin-
cpes go down, let our candidates be defeated,
let our party be destroyed, but as for Col,
Davidson he will "rule or ruin" because he
has not "hc right mar the disposition TO elect
our candidates and save our party!
Now if the consequences shall be disastrous
to the democrotic party, let all the response
bility rest with him and his "eyil advisers"
Gay- Ayoyeles is largely in favor of Sigur.

ment or in facts begin to call names, and the Baton
Rouge Advocate in its bearing towards this paper
is no exception to the general rule. It is easier to
call hard names than to argue. A just cause does
not require abuse and villication for its support.
