CAPT. VIZ. A. LAoEY.-It is with pleasure we learn
that our gallant standard bearer in North Louisiana
has taken the stump in defence of our cherished prin-
ciples w. A. Lacey acquired the title Of captain for
service in the Mexican war; where he performed his
duty as became the true patriot and brave soldier.
Unlike his competitor, W. J. Hamilton, upon the
Democratic State ticket, he did not volunteer his
yices-go as far as Point Isabel-get furlough and
return Homeland then refuse to go back to his COM
rades in arms according to the tenor of that furough
We regret that Capt Lacey will not be able to visit
our section of the State during the canvass. Not
withstandng, we are satisfied that from November
next, for the ensuing two years, his headquarters
will be at the State House, Baton Ronge, we would
like to see and hear him occasionally during the can
vass. [Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, 26th.
