The crisis is one Of groatrr danger and
Importance than has ever before existed.
Six States have declared their separation
from the Union, and the withdrawal of the
seventh is probable event. The course
Of the remaining Southern States will lee

our people, for upon their decision depends,
orr lives, liberty and property, and the
very best men should be selected. In our
district we have two candidates for Judge
Of the District Court. Col. w. B. Lewis,
of Bapides, and the Hon. c. Chaplin, of
our sister parish of Natchitoches. Col.
Lewis is too well known in our parish to
need any encomiums from us. If elected,
he will do his duty faithfully and impair
italy.
The Hoe c. Chaplin has been the pre-
siding Judge in tie Natolitoches district
for number Of years, and has given very
general satisfaction and his character as
man, is without spot or blemish. He
has many friends in this parish. There
may be other candidates in the field pre-
viOus to the election, if so, we hope the
people will select the one most worthy to
preside over their interests We do not
want politicians to disgrace the Judicial
ermine, men, who to gain popular favor,
would stoop to anything, no matter how
We want men who can stand
up before their fellow-citizens with renu-
tation unsullied by political contamination
and intrigues.

OUR AND our DCTY

however anxiousl v we may strive to peer
into the future, and man never so much
longel for insight into coming events.
Oar hereafter as n people is wrapped in
impenetrablc mystery and gloom. Behind
MS the glorious past lies clear and beauti-
ful in the light Of the setting sun--a land
of memories as deathless as they are dear
and blessed. The early dawn of the day
which is closing now around US, gave us
no promise Of the day which was to follow.
There was no prophet to proclaim the
future of the infant Republic at its birth,
no seer capable Of grasping the greatness
of its grandeur. The hope even of the
widest enthusiast never reached half the
reality of its power and majesty. Sud
dfnly, as if upheaved by an earthquake,
the colossal fabric of our government has
fallen. The eagle whose scream of def
ance, but now, startled the despotisms of
the old world, as he scared FAR up towards
the fountain of light, has dropped, sinitten
and p0werlcss, to earth Our starry flag
streams no more in binding splcndor in
the vanguard Of the nations. The Repub-
lie il dead. From the fragments of tie
old we must reconstruct new and more
lasting government. The original founda-
tion-tne Constitutions rs firm as ever.
1t was not because the architects who
planned or the workmcn who constructed
the groundwork of the government were
unequal TO the work entrusted to their
hands far from il, for there is not stone
loosel from lis place in their handiwork.
Time and test have immortalized them as
master-spirits and master builders. Rely
ing upon the strength of the structure
which their skill fashioned and their hands
hnildcd, the people have carelessly en-
trusted the completion Of the structure to
incompetent and reckless prcteHjcrs.-
Hence it is that Babel was reared in
place Of walls of strength and pillars of
power, it Tor the coming shock Hence
it is that tyrants are to-day rejoicing over
the ruin of government which was con
ccivcdi wisdom and ifperlcctel in ace ri
ancc with the original plan would have
drficd the combined strength Of all their
hoary despoti>ns.
In view Of thc' disaster which has &C.
CURED to Us as n people, does II not be-
hoovr us to be more cautious and carrsil
IN the selection Of men for the new wo-,,,
which 50 absolutely requires all the s,,iI
and wisdom and patriotism which can pos
silly be brought into rcquisition
We deem this the tittrst time for urging
upon OR follow citizens the necessity
which they can now so plainly see, c-pe-
chilly exists in republican government, !
for watchf!hrss on their part in regard TO /
their OWN interests. The folly Of blind |
partisan zeal and subserviency to party |
leaders, is now palpabIy plain and appa- !
rent. Let lis be, for the future, consider |
a,c, reflective frecmcn, instead Of partisan |
puppets. Let us look in all time TO come |

PARTY spirit and party allegiance fer sup
