How they Work.:

One Of the greatest difficulties we have had to con-
tend against in this canvass, has been the constant
and unblushing calumni.s which have been showered
upon us by the honest supporters of MIR. BRECKENRIDGE.
Not content with m%aligning one OF the most
able of Southern statesman, one whose whole inter
est is devoted to our institutions, they have unbi"sh-
iosly given circulation to false statements, nay
even attempted to prove by a process only known TO
that branch of the Democracy, that he was an Ao'ii-
ZIONIST. and that he was no more attached to south
ern institutions. than ABE LINCOLN. We have heard
it often said BY men claiming to be supporters oil
Mr.. BkEcKIyHpGE that they would as soon support
Mr.. LINCOLN as Nh. BELL! And, this toe, was SAID OF
a Southerner. who for more than thirty years, repre-
scented a Southern State in Congress. Can mtlignity
go farther than this? Are the followers of Nix, BREek-
:SRlpcE in this State, so welded to powerand plumber,
that they will stop at nothing to per2etnate the one
man power that has so long existed in Louisiana? In
Louisiana the Breckenridge men are only fighting lot
,he supremacy within its limits-the election OF
Mr. breckenridge being merely a secondary matter =
They know they cannot elect their leader, and, CON
seouentlv must take what they can get Otherwise
With a knowledge of this fact, can any man,
| doubt as to who he should vote for, BREcKiRlDGE
or BEI19 With the former you have a sectional par

CoNcEALMENr, SECRET ALLIES. ETC
There is an old saw which says that the great
est 70. tie not unfrequently cries out. stop.
thief. the lnndest of the crowd, for the pur-
pose Of turning away attention for himself.
The Breckenridge organs and orators are. and
and have been for months, saving a great
deal about concealment. the secret allies of
Abolition, etc. One of their orators in this
city a short time ago. threw out the insulting
inuendo that Bell and Everett men were
shouting os ens,bIy for Bell, but were secret
ly in favor Of Lincoln. We hurl back the in
suit back into their teeth. The only men
we Know in Louisiana who have expressed a
preference for Lincoln over others are warm
Breckenridge men and are doing all they can
to forward his Cause. 1t is a beautitUl sight
for men who studiously refuse to say what
is the position Of their party upon a great and
startling question, to talk about corcealment
is it, 1t is delectable for sheets here in
Louisiana that publish articles from men who
declare their preference for the Black Repub-
licans candidates other candidates to
oprate about a pToclivity to LincoInism in
theirs.
Unmitigatcd villains suppose all men to be
rascals as black hearted as themselves; and
one may be sure that those who declare that
al ureh nave thelr pllce,, are themselves III
the market for sale. If those men who
would have Us believe them quite immaculate,
were all that they profess to be, we do not
think they would be quite so forward in sus-
Pecting treason in every body else. This is
not TIE characteristic frank, open-hearted. re-
liable men. True men don't act upon the
old heather maxim that you must deal with
all men as II they were rogues till you find
them out to be honest. They rather reverse
the maxim, and take all men to be honest
till they are proved to he villains. Both
maxims may need notifications s, but if we
are compelled to choose between them, uu-
hesitate. g'y We choose the latter.

LEADING DEMOCRAT OF IoUISI ANA FoRSAKES THE DIST
MON PARTY The speech Of the Hon. George 5. La
cey, long Snown as one of the leading Democrats OF
the State. which We published yesterday. must have
been percsed with extraordinary emotions by all
ella asses of the community. He forsakes his party as
soon as lis party forsakes the South, and the Const
tuition, and the Union. That is acting literally &C
coriing to the advice of the great hero Of New Or
leans-the lion-hearted Old Hickory. He told them
in words that never can be forgotten-aIe cave your
friends and stand by your country We echo his
patriotic words. Democrats. follow the advice of
Hon. Andrew Jackson. leave vour friends and
stand by your country" Immftate the example set
you by one of your leaders, immitats the Hon. Geo

A Word Of Caution.

Let every Bell and Everett voter look we'll to his
ticket before depositing it in the ballot box. Spu
rlou' tickets are already out, calculated to deceive
the unwary. Be on your guard, therefore. against
the fraud. Our opponents are d termined 20 win at
all hazards. The miserable sli!ell dynasty must be
perpetuated in the State, that the faithful of his CLIQUE
may still enjoy the loaves and fishes. Refuse all
proposals to pair Oft, - unless in case of absolute
necessity. and then DE sure that you contract with
honorable parties, ~-ABO ALI-M at the rous
early, and see that your ~neighbor is there also.

A Mare's1Ness.

The advocate Of Thursday last is terribly tortured
at the thought of a fusion of the BELL and DorGIAs
men upon LOUIS HEBER1 as Commissioner LIST Swamp
Land District. We did not know before that our CO.
temporary was of so much Importance that he
should be made aware of all opposition political op.-
rations. He thinks it bargain. and corruption"
Well who cares if he doesl Wonder wat has be.
come of all the m"n with black carpet bags who have
been hunting work in that parish az wood choppers ?
Another original idea of the Advocate he calls Col.
SPARKS the Bell candidate. Nobody knew that be-
fore. News. decidedly Now, Mr.. advocate, Col.
SPARKS is not the BELL candidate, nor has he even been
recommended by our Executive Committee as such.
Some one should relieve the agony of our friend as to
rho wrote the letters. or Coroner JONES may be called
on to perform a melancholy duty.
