The SELECTION OF DELEGATEs.-The Pointe Coupcc
Echo OF the 9Th inst, also approves of proposed
mode of selecting delegates to the State and Con

GAS the day for holding our State Convention has
already been fixed upon it is quite time that some
steps were taken for selecting delegates to represent
our Parish in the Convention. We perceive that pro
positions have been made in the Parishes OF East and
West Feciana to elect the delegates on the LIST Mon.
day in April when the election for Associate Justice
takes place The plan, we think. is good one as it
certainly is the most Democratic way of appoin tino
our delegates. Let the democratic voters of each
ward send two delegates to represent them in the
Convention, and then the real and correct views If
each ward will be expressed" -
