What Z" norcal RIGHT = The Democrats If NnrtR IN
sana or any other section of the State have to claim
ina newt II n Senator chosen 4 from their Immediate
rauksn we cannot understand North Louisiana is
strongly Democratic and it has nobly done ita dntv
10 the Democracy of the State ana ia itself II has
cherished and sustained those principles which its in
teliqent citizens deem most c0nduC , to il welfare
and the nrosneritv of the whole S. a The Danor
racy of North Louisiana then has perf0rmpd a drtv
for which it has no right to Claim reward Having
acted conscentionsiy and noblv in the discharge If
political duties CONVEYS no RIGHT to any section In
claim political reward AU. S, Senator il eynpcted
to represent the whole State oCare for the interest o
all its parts and whether he be citizen Of Jackson
or VermiIHon parish is equally the commemorative
and guardian OF the whole State
But saws the Times q the Democracy Of 4his san

the accepted party usage that to tile workers belong

cracy of North Louisiana are distinct organization
and have achieved anv snecess over file If
the rest of the State II not what does H. mean III
10 the workers belong the glory Of victory and II
the victorious belong TIE trophips ana Treasures
To the yctors belong the sn0ils ia mo Democratic
motto 1t had its origin with the enemies If tha No
mocracy, and was used BY those enemies as their onv
argument in justification Of the Determination of fa6
fu and experienced officers The Timps' aruumpnt is
bad one. 1t is sectional and will not do, To the
Democracy of the whole State is dine the pIorv of ba
ing long trumphed over all opponents and the De-
mocracy should discard all local bins and select an
able and sound Democrat for Senator, IF n North
Lousanian is elected we shall have no fears that the
interest of the southern and western sections of the
State will be sacrificed to that OF the northern sec
ton We have faith in Democratic officers when nro
perly selected-we mean when selected without the
interference of political traders and hunters oil Mace
But the Times says, that in the second place the
Democracy of North Louisiana claim tie Senator
because tits material right Their section of the
State is one recurring an actual residence fpr nro
per knowledge and conception of its interest its re-
sources and the general tone OF its Cbivaric pe0ne
Now we think this second reason is restitufa of
foundation. There are hundreds Of gentemenin ibis
part of the State who do not asre to the dnniv If
statesmanship or to seat in the IT. s. SENATE cham
her who are intimately cOnyersbnt with fine noterg
interest of North Louisiana, and the general tome
and temperament of its chigalric peanle.a And a.
suredy the Times cannot doubt the statistical nfor
nation and thorough and exact knowiedga of tha
able men who are looking to the rank Of the Senator
shin Of the State AS well might the South Tonfsi
anans base claim to choose the successor of Mr.
BENJAMIN on the ground of ncompetenev IF nsnirants
from the northern section of the State 10 understand
its material interest The State Of Louisiana ia nor
SO large nor its interest SO extremely varied as to
