upon Horatio Seymour land We

thy gentlemen whose claims for
the nomination were presented BY
their respective friends to believe
that they endorse this unfortunate
movement against the regular
nominee, We are even willing to.
believe that these MANY Demo-
Gratis . will yet, if they have not
already done SO, regret their hasty
action, and earnestly hope that
they will, at the polls, support by
their votes the regular ticket. ~
We can only say in conclusion,
that the Democracy Of Calcasieu
feel a confidence in the political
integrity Of Adolphe Bailey, and q
pride in his selection as their Con-
gressional nominee, that no attack
upon him like that which we regret
to have been compelled to notice,
can shake for an instant, and that
this, the banner Democratic par
ish of Louisiana, will testify that
confidence on Tuesday, 3rd of No
vember, BY a larger majority, ac-
oording to the registered popula-
ton, than any other parish in this
Congressional District and we are
glad to see that the Democratic
press of this District with perhaps
a single exception, heartily endorse
his nomination.

Judge Bafleg5s Record.
We are informed that A. Bailey.
Judge 9Th judicial District, has
announced himself as a candidate
for reelection, and that he Is sup
ported by Republicans in Lafa-
yette. We wish to call the atten-
tion Of our readers to q portion of
Judge Bailey's record in the Con-
stitutional Convention Of 1864. On
the Esd day Of june, Mr.. Gorlinskf
offered the following as an addi-
tional article to the report of the
Committee on General Provisions:
ART. The Legislature shall
have power to pass laws extending
the right Of suffrage to such per-
sons, citizens of the United States.
as by military service, by taxation
to support the government, or by
intellectual fitness, may be deemed
entitled thereto. vs.. ~
A motion to lay on the table was
lost. The yeas and nays on the
adoption of the article were de-
manded, with the following result:
Yeas AS, Nays 80. Mr.. Bailey
voted { Nay
On the 29th day of June Mr..
Hill presented to the Convention
the following resignation of Mr..
Bailey: ....... 49,
To the President and members Of the Con-
StjtoAj0n0J C0nventi0n: ~.
CONVENIENTLY objections to
the - article of the report on
general provisions, relative to the
extension of the elective franchise.
to all persons, without distinction
of race or color, under certain
specified conditions, being such
that [ could not conscientiously
sign the constitution of which that
article was made part by the vote
taken on yesterday, I hereby most
respectfully tender my resignation
as a member of your honorable
body, il. ".
Respectfully, A. BAILEY.
New OTfgGns5 june 18th. -------- -
When Mr.. Bailey could not
!" conscientiously" sign a constitu-
ton which provided for the extern
sion Of suffrage to those persons
who by an educational or property
test might be found qualified, or to
those who by military service in
the army Of the Union might lay
just claim to the rights of citizen
ship-he must have been deeply
dyed in the infamous doctrine that
"the black man has no rights
which the white man is bound to
respect" Such a man is entirely
unfit to judge over free people.
With o mind so deeply prejudiced
against a majority Of our citizens
it would be extremely difficult for
him to render impartial decisions.
We wish to be ruled by just and
progressive men. Before the Re-
publican party can safely support
Judge Bailey IL Il must first have
some evidence adduced from his
future acts that he is not still blind
and worshipping the idols Of
slavery. hHo lEv.2. ,t.o9>
