We extract the following from the Yermillion-
vile Qafayette Parish) Echo of the 18th instant:
A DISTINGUISHED VIsIToR.-Senator Slidel was
in our town last Saturday, looking as fresh and
forid as a young man OF thirty. what brought
the distinguished Senator to our parish, at this
time, we are unable to say; perhaps our senior
could tell-he had an interview with him, and since
then to be in most excellent spirits as for
ourself we were not favored with an introduction,
therefore cannot appreciate the feeling OF the more
fortunate still we are very willing and even anx-
ous to take the old gentleman by the hand, had we
had the least shadow of chance However 1t is
said by some, who think they know great deal,
that the object of the Senator's visit here was
simply to employ lawyer to attend to some land
claims; others look very wise and say it was for
something else. BE it not, it isn't for the un-
initiated to KNOWN fact it is no business of theirs;
they have only to let the Hon. John sldell alone;
he can see as far into futurity as anybody and If
we mistake not, in the year one Thousand elght
hundred and sixty, he will be found trying mighty
hard to get to the White House.
We think the senior " treated the junior" of
the Echo with marked neglect. We wouldn't
stand it. We'd have fight or running match
first. If the behemoth Of Buchananism, the Great
Eastern of Louisiana Democracy, dncluding the
s'Independent American" ticket for the parish OF
Orleanso the mastadon of caucusses and conyen-
tions, and the autocrat of rules and usages =
when they served his purposes, and the destroyer
of 'rules and usages" when they didn't serve his
purposes, lived in the country, and should happen
to visit New Orleans, and our SENIOR should "set
4 upn to him, hold interviews y with him, which
'.interviews'' resulted in flow of 'most excellent
spirits" and not introduce and let us into the
secrets, there would be precious row in the Cres-
cent establishment, " Immediately if not sooner.'
That's aat-or, in other words, most exceedingly,
absolutely and unequivocaly positive. The .junior
of the Echo may do as he pleases. The '.juniors'
of other papers may do as they please; but so far
as the "junior" of the Crescent is concerned, he
says in the sublime language of John Bunyan, or
somebody else, ''snk or swim, live or die, survive
or perish he will have sight at all the gigantic
shows that come along in his neighborhood! His
motto is: Liberty to have fair sight, OF fight
II foot race, or death''
y The "junior' of the Echo, albeit he was neg
iectcd by his senior, seems to be rather smart--to
be about as well sup in the matter as if he had
been thoroughly posted by his senior regarding
~ those interyiewsn 1t may be possible-we don't
intimate that it is probable-that he was favored
ty with spirit manifestations in the premises
