on our part.

letter, from Senator St. Paul, appeared in the
Baton Rouge Advocate Of the 18th ult, in reference
to this and other matters, from which we take the
following extracts-the italics being our own:
The only real protest can offer to the action Of
the Convention Is its total disregard of the TING
honored custom Of placing on the Gubernatoral
ticket, in connection with the Hon. Thos. o. Moore,

For this departure of custom rehgiously observed
for upscards Of half century, do not wish to be
held responsible before my constituents.
The Creoles having been thrown overheard by the
Democratic State Convention, inquiry naturally
arises have they Jared much better in the city Not
much, as will be seen by instituting proper com.
parison-by looking over the names on the "Inde.
pendent" (SlideD ticket. That ticket is headed by
Creole, a relative Of the q King" late American
Street Commissioner, and the names of two other
Creoles to be found upon It'll The ticket, as pub
lished officially in the Delta is composed of ten per.
Seven to three rather illiberal distribution
But, as the Creoles we're contemptuousy kicked off
the State Democratic ticket, we suppose the indie
pendent managers arrived at the conclusion that
they would be excessively grateful for the most d.
minutive sort of favors At all events is not likely
the slidell Democrats will object to their voting for
the tickets nominated at Baton Rouge or in New
Orleans. That privilege will no doubt, be graciously
accorded them Let them be duly grateful that,
although none of them are deemed worthy regular
Democratic nomination, the right of suffrage has
not been wholly Withdrawn from them But, let
them beware, and be sure to vote exactly as King
john and his Lieutenants direct or else there is no
telling what will happen.
Now, let us look at the composition of the Ameri.
can municipal ticket. Scan it well, fellow citizens
Its friends not only challenge the closest scrutiny but
boldly proclaim that it is without stain or blemish
from head to foot. It, too, is composed of ten per-
song. 1t, too, is headed by Creole and the names
of four other Creoles to be found upon it, making
an equal division in numbers, and giving the most
important Office to the ancient population. Here is
fairness and Justice; and when the fairness and
Justice thus exhibited is conrasted with the unmiti.

and the Independent illiberaty Of New Orleans,
we imagine one need doubt how the Creoles will |
act next Monday.
