The Gazgttk& Gn&uet


q hg .FELLoW-CITIZENs-Att the solici-
citation of numerous friends | am in.
Cduced to present you my name as a
candidate for your suffrage at the en-
suing election, to represent you in the
State Senate. 'Ltl" MI ifrT
In taking this step, | am not I'M
mindful Of the weighty responsible
ties and obligations attaching to the
position, should | be successful in
the canvass, nor Of the sacrifices
that / must necessarily make to serve
you faithfully. ua1.
While therefore 1 have hesitating-
ly and with difiidence announced my
name as a candidate for the State
Senate in obedience to the wishes Of
those whose preferences and judg-
ment could not disregard, / hope I
may not be considered as presuming
to arogate to myself qualifications
superior or even equal to many hun
dreds of my fellow-citizens for this
important station.
But such are the evil times upon
which we have fallen; such is the
Impoverished and ruined condition
of our once happy and prosperous
State, that it behooves every citizen
to come forward with alacrity and
act his full part in saving something
of the general wreck and replacing
his State in that proud position
which it formerly occupied.
Upon the next Legislature will
'devolve the consideration of subjects
of the most vital Importance to you.
Your destiny for veal or woe; wheth-
er you shall be invested once more
with your civil rights and placed in
the path Of independence and pros
'perity, or sink down into wretched |
poverty and anarchy, depend upon
the political, intellectual and moral
complexion of your next Legislature.
The measures that will come be-
fore the next Legislature must be so
many and varioss and so complex in
their natures, that it cannot be ex-
pected that l shall discuss them in
this short address. And the time
between this and the day Of election
is so brief that ! can hardly do more
than visit a few neighborhoods and
families and make known my candi-
dacy. ,-.l.-a
j trust however, felIow-citizens,
that two terms in our Legislature as
Representative from the Parish of st.
Mary, before | came to reside among
you, and my residence in Baton
Rouge for the last twelve years, will
not have left you ignorant of my con-
political principles; nor Of
whatever qualifications / may pos .
sess to represent you in Legislative
+,
Should you see fit to honor me /
with your suffrage, and elect me to
The State Senate, I can only pledge
you my best abilities and undivided
attention and constant exertions to
secure the adoption Of such measures
Is will tend to elevate our State, pro- !
note peace and good will, give Sc !
;urity, restore law and order and de 7
yelope and foster the agricultural and .
productive interests Of the State. @
Yours, respectfully, IL
