ratified the nomination of Mr.. Sigur. He will
receive the entire support of the Democracy of

ratification by the Democracy of those parishes.
He is above all others the man the people Of

PRoGREss OF THE CANvAss-Since Mr.
WatteEston's fracas at PIaquemine, says the
Clinton Democrat, we have seen nothing of
his whereabouts; Mr.. Davidson has been in
town the past week, apparently enjoying most
excellent health.
Mr. Sigur is actively engaged in cauvassing
the river parishes, and wherever he goes, or
addresses the people, is making numerous
friends and supporters. and swimming golden
opinions from all sorts Of men," The en-
thusiasm ELECTED in his behalf in the upper
parishes is fully equal to that of Iberville and
West Baton Rouge, The friends Of Mr.. Watts
~terston, are becoming uneasy as to the pro-
gFess he is making. The supporters of David
son, are like himself, perfectly mum, and will
be more 80 after the I'd Of November. His
chances are every day growing beautifully less.

uOur old friend Winfree, Of the Clinton

sary illusions 70 us in his last issue, which we

ist. Our contemporary says that he Joined
the Know Nothing party in its infancy, and
helped 10 build it up, but "the editor Of the
Sentinel joined The order in its palmiest days;
he has never to our knowledge withdrawn from
it: we know he has never denounced it, and
that he would support Mr.. Watterston to~day,
if he thought that by so doing he could defeat
the regular nominee"
About two weeks we think "the books" will
show as the difference Of time between the
joining Of the order Of Winfree and ourself;
he ought to know, as we had the honor Of bes
ing introduced into it by him. Since last Nos
yember we have given sufficient evidence, We
think, that we no longer acted with it; and
we had sufficient time, if we ever had any idea
of doing it, to come out for Watterston and
help "defeat the regular nominee" if
he meaus Davidson
Cd. Our contemporary says that our paper
twas one of the most violent antie Buchanan
papers in the whole State in 1856" He could
not have seen il often, as we have been CONS
| plimented by Democrats for the very mild
course which we pursued. We never "recom-
mended n dissolution of the K. N. party" that
we are aware of, for the reason that, as a mas
tionaI organization, it had already dissolved ;
we suggested that the time had arrived for the
| South to unite as one man, under any name,
for the purpose Of preserving and maintaining
our constitutional rights, and it is for that end
that we support Signr, because he is a Demo-
crat, and because we believe that fourNffths Of
the Democrats of the State entertain similar
| views as himself with reference to Southern
constitutional rights-and if the strength of
the great Democratic party is not sufficient to
preserve those rights, where can we expect
that strength to come from?
This is enough. We trust that if the nerves
| of our friend are again affected, because Of the
naming Of our papers 10 the same category, he
will take some other means to place himself
right, than by placing US a0rong.

to put his hind upon the shoulder Of The man

that in the hands Of such men, whose concsien-

sufficient intrigue of character to use it judi
~ciously, he places inducements that have, and
always will maintain, a due aoeight in deter

We republish the above for the purpose of
saying, in as few words as possible, that we
meant no local or personal ~allusion what
ever. The words frstitalieised, is for the pur.
pose of showing that it is merely a figure of
speech-intimating the influence even of Mr..
Slidell's wish. In the warmth (and often in
the hurry Of political writing, it is not to be
wondered at that remarks should sometimes
assume the character of a personal %aIlusion
when not intended by the editor. We trust
that in saying this much we have wiped out
all personal grievance which, TO our regret, it
may have originated. We have no cause TO
excite the bad feelings of anybody, but we
have every reason, as it is our desire, to cults
vate the good feelings of all.

Advantages Of PoIiteness.

An elderly lady passing down a
busy street in New Haven, was over
taken BY sudden shower. She was
some distance from any acquaintance,
and had no umbrt LA. She was de-
iiberating what to do, when a pleas
ant voice beside her said:-
"Will you take my umbrella, mad

haps ten years cid.
@Thank you," said the lady, 81 am
afraid YOU will get wet"
Never mind me, madam; am but
Il boy. and You are a lady"
'But perhaps you wiz accompany
me to friends, and then shall not
find it nee ssary to rob you"
The boy did so, and received the
thanks of the lady, and departed.
Two years rolled away. The lady
often related the circumstance, and
often wondered what had become Of
her friend, but little thinking ever to
see him ag'iin. In the dull season Of
the year, this boy was thrown out Of
employment, and the circumstance
coming to the knowledge Of this lady,
she gave him good home till March
when she introduced him to a good
situation. Verify, Kindness seldom
goes unrequited.
