ny about the mater-it was co,npulsion
on the part of the gallant men, who
were determined that the Slide)!ians
should not have al! the say in the mat
ter. Judge WEIGH voted for Mr.. slcUn,
true enough, but so little interest did he
take in the matter-at least openly
that few men knew how he had voted.
The effort being made TO gull the people
into the belief that there is harmony in
the Democratic party Of this State, is
one Of the richest (asces Of the dav.-
There is" harmony" no Que doubts, but
/. is Democratic harmony "barmo-
ny" peculiar to itself, which consists in
an eternal squabbe FOR the loaves and
ishes''~the patriotism of medern De-
mocracy.
But who is it that most rejoice at the
momentary contest in the House Of Rep
resentatives and are the seyerest in their
denunciation of John Sidel'? Why a.
few quasi allies of the Democrats, s,imu-
lated and set on by their real sympathi
zers, the K, Ms. Against these false
friends, We warn every old and young
and true Democratic. They have joined
our ranks for harm. No confidence can
be reposed in them. Let the Democrats
experience the least reverse of fortune,
and the whole pack would go bowling
to The councils Of our enemies How
was it when K. N'ism, with its victorious
cohorts, walked over the half the States.
Of the Union Where then was our
now deeply interested halfdemocratie
friends z Where when the heavens
were curtainea with darkness and crea-
ton slept around ?-the malignant tools
and spies of that American party, which,
the moment it received q check in it's
triumphant career, they turned about
and basely betrayed, as they will betray
the Democracy, if they are trusted.
The above paragraph contains an ex-
troardinary Development, Who has den |
ounced SLrDElL more than tue S1GuN de-
What induced the opposition
to TOM GREEN DAv1DsoN's nomination, /
but to put down this one man power z"
Who were they but Democrats of the
Gazette stamp? The K. Ms have no.
thing to DO with Mr.. SL1DELL or the
Democratic party, that they should care
a copper whether Mr.. SLlDELL, or Mr.
Any-body~eIse rules it for their own es-
pacial benefit. !
Why don't the Gazette tell us who
The "q.,asi allies " of the Democrats are.
,hat they may be held up to everlasting
shame for the unparalleled outrage Of
the harmony Of the Demo
cratic party. 1t seems to us the SlGUR
men are the "quas aIjis,' since they re-
used to cooperate with their Democrat
C brethren 10 the election of ToM GREEN
DAVIDSON, and thereby jeoparding the,
success of the Democratic nominee.-.|
Let the people know who these false
'riends" are, that have "joined our ranks
or harm" and against whom you S'warn
avery young and old true Democratic"
Since you are aware that they joined
7our ranks for harm, it is your duty to
make it known that tue Democracy may
% on their guard. Or, vcrdant people
night suppose, in blissful ignorance,
hat some unfortunate K. Ms had wan
lered into the Democratic ranks, and
we're the cause Of the Gazette's sublime
ears and warnings. |
Again our cotemporary Should not
oear SO hard upon the *. y. sympa~
,h;zers," for If be will refresh bis memo
y by referring to the files of his own
oaper, lie will find some very Mandatory
,,u,, ;,on n,lp3lim,ents to The " noble and intelli-
GENT" K. Ms who were supporting Mr..
s1GuR, and who contributed much to
,arryiog Iberville for that gentleman,
which, by the way, was the only parish he
lid carry. Our cotemporary saw no
"a. ,arm then in receiving K. n. assistance
o help them through their rebellion to
he Dem ocratic party, and now it comes "
With vi rather an iII-grace for him to cao-s
ion his Democratic friends against them.
