We published yesterday, for the special attention
of the Democracy of Alabama the platform adopted
by the late Democratic State Convention Of Lousi-
ana. We placed this platform before our readers on
the principle of the Spartans who exhibited their
Helots made drunk to their youth, as warning ex-
ample of the beastliness Of inebriety. Everybody
knows that this is the platform of Senator Slidell
and his faction Of the Louisiana Democracy, and
every one will see in the end, we think, that the
Democratic people OF Louisiana will repudate that
platform at the polls and refuse to indorse the bare
faced batteries and fall ,cies which it contains.
F 1t is dangerous card Mr.. Sde has played in
putting Democrr ascendancy in Louisiana upon
the hazard of il .ng the Administration. He
may, like Samson, pull down the pillars Of the
temple his head but he, TOO, will be buried in
the ruins.
