The Feliciana Democrat., 1859-01-15
II. S. SENATOR.

The State Legislature meets on Monday next. One
of the many important duties which devolvcs upon 1t
to perform, is the election of United States Senator
Our editorial brethren in every part of the State,
have discussed for the past few months, with great
warmth and vigor, not only the qualifications OF dis
tinguished citizens for that high Office, but the right
of section of the State in having the Senator taken
from its geographical limits. We have taken no
part in this controversy Through our columns we
propountcd series of ofncrrogatores. upon questions
of vital and pregnant interest to the people of the
State as we'll of the entire South These have not
nor did we fully expect IT, been answered II would
have been qualification to have seen them answered
not from any vanity relative thereto but for the op
porunty of seeing for the first time, in louisiana
Senatorial candidate, openly and boldly avowing his
opinions regardless Of the ruling power.
But this was not to be, and oil We now desire is
that the State Legislature will, on the Fourth Mon
day of this month elect TO the high and responsible
position Of United States Senator, one, whose whole
political life has been spent in the Democratic ranks
aud whose conduct therein, has shown him to be a
pure sound and reliable State Rights Democrat.
