MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER IS, 1858.


The rather exciting question "Who shall be the |
next United States Senator ~ continues to be dis
cussed in north and northwestern Louisiana. We
imagine the discussions, public and private, will go
with increasing animation until the matter is
finally disposed Of as must be, on the fourth Mon
day of January next.
The Monroe (0uachta Parish) Register, of the 7th
inst concludes long article in reference to the Sen
atorshp in these terms
As to the geographical aspect of the Senatorial
question, time only strengthens the opinion that one
Senator at least should from North Louisiana.
We go further, and say it is duty which every
Democratic member from the northern part Of the
State owes to his constituents to vote only for man
from North Louisiana. Aye more, the fiery indlgna-
t0n OF justly lncensed people will be visited upon
the head Of him who fails 50 to cast his vote Against
Senator Benjamin we have naught to say. We yield
to no one in our admiration of his transcendeDt ab
ties But though no fault of his, yet It's his mistor
/ tune that just now both he and Mr.. Slidell live in
| New Orleans. He cannot complain that the Demo
cracy have failed to honor him--he but yesterday re-
fused the mission to Spain rendered by the hands OF
| q Democratic President IT, however he should be
returned to the Senate, Mr. Slidell will two years
hence, occupy like position. And in the election
for members OF the next Legislature the sins OF fall
tering Democrats will be remembered against them.
Let them bear in mind that North Louisiana will be
heard-and beware lest they provoke her people to
''treasure up wrath against the day of wrath, for
those who persistently and in the face of acknow
edged public sentiment refuse to recognize her just
claims Let our representatives confer with their
constituents and among themselves even before the
meeting OF the Legislature and center upon some
one OF the many worthy names mentioned among u.s.
New Orleans only hopes to succeed in consequence
of our divisions. She must not do it,

John,' can't be scared by any such threats. He is
accustomed to them and when their utterers become
too troubesome-he never allows them to become
dangerous-he turns on steam, sets his engines to
work, and mandates them. That's a way he has
and wo to the opponent in his own hosts who at

We are inclined to the belief that Mr.. Benjamini
chances the best North Louisiana to the contrary
notwithstanding. He is, by all odds, the ablest of hi
party, and his early Wing education and protractet
Wing training, particularly fit him for the post o
leader among the old line Democrats. Besides, tht
king is for him, no matter who disputes it, anc
who dare presume to gainsay the words, or oppos
