NEXT UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The Senatorial pot continues to boil in the country
We should not be surprised If it bois over ere long
North Louisiana claims the Senator. Aye, more;
she says she will have the Senator. Whether she will
succeed or not remains to be seen. Moth Louisiana
said she would have the Senator the last time-but
she didn't get the Senator and her claims will not
be whit stronger or more just in 1861 than they
were in 1859. So judging of the future by the past,
we are rather inclined to think that the northern
portion Of the State will be handsomely jockeyed
when the next contest takes place.
The following is from the Monroe (Ouachita
Parish) Register of the 18th inst
PARISH CoNvENrIoN.-We refer the reader to the
proceedings of the Parish Convention, as published
In another column. The Convention was very large
ly attended, aud Its proceedings ELECTED the most
marked attention and interest," The country De.
mocracy were present in great number, which was
refreshing sight to Us poor town people, who have
little nothing to do but find fault with the Secre
tary Of the weather, ETC., etc. The nominees
are all Democrats of the right stamp, and we
bid them God speed. Q long life and tremen
dGas majority Every Ward vas fully represented
being detained at home by sickness. 1t is the
general remark of all, irrespective of party, that
larger and more respectable Convention was
convened in Monroe at this season of the year
The Democracy Of old Ouachita are fully awake and
she will do her whole duty in November next. The
Convention took positive and decided grounds in re.
gard to electng country Democrat to succeed
Senator Sldel in 1861. While we all respect and
honor Mr.. Sldel, we think it our bouuden duty to
stand by the rights of the country parishes in the
4 selection and election of his successor, We hope
every country parish in the State will follow our ex.
ample, by nsructing their Senators and Representa-
ves to sustain the rights and wishes of the country
Democracy over the grssping policy Of the city Of
New Orleans, whose Democracy do all the talking,
and look to US lead the rlorn hope in the hour OF
peril and disaster. Those parishes which have al.
ready held their Conventions and made nominations
lwithout giving Instruction. call mass meetings
for the purpose, and issue instructions at pleasure
. Why not come square up to the work at once? The
people-the whole people, demand that the next
Senator in Congress shall be selected from one OF the
country parishes This being the case it the legti
mate business of the Democracy to attend at once tt
the matter and that the wishes Of the people arr
carried out and fully executed. We are the only
party capable Of attending to the peoples rights anl
We should not pass them by with Indifference ant
i. coio neglect VIII our sister parishes emulate GU
IN example ~ this important move? We shall see.
III Here is the main resolution adopted by th
I'D Ouachita Democratic Parish Convention
nt Kesoired That while we entertain lively uride il
the great commercial Importance of the CITY Of New
Orleans We insist that in the spirit Of Justice to III
great agricultural interests Of the State one NJ n
Senators in the National Councils should be selecte
from the country parishes, aud we instruct our Renr
sentative and Senator, to carry out this expresso
Of our views.
II The above is decidedly antislidellish 1t bodies
g. good to the King" Ii this thing isn't stopped,
