Democratic state Ticket,

From the Monroe ouscha Parish) Register 10th instl
The ticket put forth by the late Democratic State
esteem and favor. Thomas o. Moore, candidate for
Guhernatorial honors is about fftytwo years of age
possessing vigorous constitution and sound bust
ness mind. In early life he was an overseer, but at
this time is large and influential sugar planter with
prncely income of at least hundred thousand per
year. Mr.. Moore is reliable Democrat of the jackson
school, and sustans at home and abroad the reputation
of an honest man. He has served in both branches of
the Legislature, and is at this time grave Senator.
He is not famous for either talent, learning or elo
quence-is simply plain, substantial planter possess
ing all the necessary elements for sate iudicous
and wise Governor. Mr.. Moore was by no means our
first choice for the high position to which he aspired
before the Convention. We voted for him to save the
party, as we supposed from disruption and general
row. Now that Mr.. Moore is the regular nominee be
will receive our firm and cordial support. COL Sam.
F. Marks was our first choice, and had he received
the nomination, the event would have been hailed by
the party as bright epoch in the history of the
Louisiana Democracy.
Our worthy candidate for LieutenantG Governor is
clever gentleman of the old Wing school, with mode
rate pretentons to intellectual greatness He is A
man of integrity, industry and remarkable energy,
possessing, we are Informed fine moral character
Mr.. Hyams has some reputation and ambition as
debater, which will operate against him as presid-
ing officer, he never having learned to control that
naughty little member called the tongue. 1t takes
good listener to preside with acceptablity and effect
over the deliberations of O parliamentary BODY such
as State Senate. Our candidate for Lieutenant.
Governor has been very short time in the ranks of
the Democracy; therefore, it is out of the question
for us to testify to his entire orthodoxy We have
no doubt whatever of his sincerity in becoming a
Democrat, and we hope he will prove strong for us
as he was once against u.s. when he exhausted throat
and lung in denouncing the principles cherished by
such Democrats as Jackson, Polk, Pierce and Bl.
chanan little longer probation would have pleased
us better just at this time, Notwithstanding Ouachita
voted for his nomination. If the Democratic party il
OvnrthrOWn destrnvpd IL will ha on,;rt, T.,
the crying evil of promoting converts regardless
of suitable probation. Mr.. H. should consider him
self highly honored and under lasting obligations to
his new friends and associates for SO high assur
ance of political confidence. We entertain warm
personal regard for our next Lieutenant Governor,
and he will most assuredy receive undivided sup
port.
P.D Hardy Esq, candidate for the Office of secre.
tary Of State, is young gentleman of fine address
and handsome talents. We take it for granted that
he is entirely sound upon all the leading political
questions OF the day, for we certainly know Of moth
ing to the contrary T.. Semmes, our next Attorney
General has served in the Legislature and is looked
upon as strong man before the people, AS lawyer,
he ranks high in the Crescent City. E. W. Robert
son, candidate for Auditor, is plain business man,
making no foolish pretensons to talent or overmuch
learning. Mr.. X. has proved himself good and true
auditor of the peoples accounts, aud we hear no ex
pressions of dissatisfaction at his denomination.
Hon. b. L.. Detreese, our standard bearer for
Treasurer, is gentleman, distinguished for morality
are rather ordinary but quite sufficient for the post to
which he now aspres. Mr.. D. has served the people
with acceptability in the State Senate, where be
gained considerable reputation for honesty and self
will. In the recent memorable contest for IT, S. Sena
tor, he acted and voted against Mr.. Benjamin, the
regular caucus nominee. We simply make this state
ment to prove the gentlemaus Independence of
character, and not to dsparage his strong claims
upon the affections of the people and his party. We
are told that this wound has been healed, and that
the past is only to be remembered and referred to as
an idle tale. For one, we heartily rejoice in this
charitable arrangement and hope that all who fol-
lowed Mr.. Defreese, in voting against Mr.. Benjamin,
may share the same happy and joyful fate, for &C.
cordng to the old adage, that which sauce for the
goose aught also to be sauce for the gander Mr..
Henry Avery, candidate for Superintendent of Public
is most excellent gentleman and reliable
Democrat, who will constantly grow upon the af1ec.
tions of the people.
Finally, we endorse the ticket from first to last,
and call upon the Democracy of old Ouachita to give
it warm and hearty support. The convention was
very largely attended, but was not altogether har
monious, owing to House," and snndfy other
little side influences, which could with great pro-
priety, have remained at home. Notwithstanding all
this, the dear people have no serious cause of COM
plant; therefore we close our brief sketch by pro-
posing nine long, loud cheers for the Louisiana
Democracy and its entire State Ticket, which will be
elected by at least five thousand majority. So mote
ID be,
