The self.styIed Estate Executive Com

The self-styIed Estate Executive Com
mittee," at New Orleans, presuming to
act for the Democratic Party of this
State, have put in motion what they are
pleased to call a Estate Ticket" the
folly of which act is only equalled by its
unparalleled presumption; and which we
regard rather i'm the light of an 'April
Fool" placard than a serious political
announcement. This proposed ticket is
composed of the present State officers
among whom we fail to recognize any
whose personal and political qualifca-
tons are likely TO astonish an ignorant
world or set the Mississippi river on fire,
but whose official records are chiefly cell
ebrated for antiquated notions and the
prompt drawing of their salaries.
1t will be recollected that but a short
time since, when nearly the entire State
was represented in Convention, the pro-
priety of nominating State ticket was
zealously urged by some of the country
members, without success. Scarcely
have the country delegates reached their
homes, before these antiquarians consid-
er it ''expetiient," meet in caucus, and
nominate themselves to Office, ignoring
the claims OF the country parishes to
representation on their ticket. Thus
seeming to doubt, apparently, that we
have names of sufficient talent to ao-
pear on State ticket, or for Congress
SIGNAL representatives, as it will be seen
no nominations were made for the 3rd,
4th and 9Th districts. While they were
i'm the nominating mood, and utterly dis
regarding our claims, why did they not
make a finishing business of this stupid
bnrlesque and make selections outside
of those districts for representatives?
This ticket is thus thrust upon rs with
the belief, no doubt, that the Democratic
and Conservative elements will vote it,
as necessity, in preference to either
Of the Radical tickets now in the field;
bnt we are at a loss TO see upon what
grounds this idle presumption is based,
as we do not see that they offer any SUI
perior qualifications, or that any is of
fered by either. They are, each, striv
ing for the same obiect-sroils of Office
though by different routes. We fail
to distinguish any material difference
between the contestants, and as far as
eminent qualifications are concerned,
can WELD the palm to neither.
Since they have done thus much with
out orr concurrence, we suppose they
will proceed in their patriotic pursuit of
office under difficulties without conde-
s2ending to ask any assistance from
this benighted portion of the State in
the matter Of voting.
Should the Constitution be ratified
and it is almost a settled fact that it will
be-the Radical ticket will be elected,
as matter of course. Should the Con-
stitution be defeated, the people Of the
State will, when necessary, nominate
ticket, composed of men of undoubted
and moral integrity, from all
parts of the State, and truly represent
ing the interests and wishes of the peo-
pie in every respect.

The military preparations for the de-
