[From the Macon (Ga.) Journal (democrat, June 1871
The best man and the best platform to open the
way for this consummation-a democratic Congress
are as yet unknown. We must perfOrce, leave their
selection to others. We believe That an unequivoca
candidate, upon square platform, is the dictate,
not only Of principle, but expediency. our choice IS
TIE man ioho can be elected. And that man.
II we are not deceived, answers to the above
description. We win not give him name, but
II you call over half dozen, we will not question
the correctness Of the answer. II man is all right
we can pardon some manipulation OF the PLATFORM
but victory, even under the banner Of man who ID
right under backing and influence is better than de-
feat-that Is death.

From the New Orleans Crescent (democrath June 2o
There Is only one consistent and admissible mode
while putting forth this protest against consigning
the South to negro supremacy could assent, under

all question to the justice of the acts which brought

From the New Orleans Bee conservative June 1871
The movement in favor Of Chase which was begun
less than three months ago, has already attained
large proportions and becomes more popular every
day as the people become convinced that he is the
only man who can draw away the conservative re-
pubicans from their party and toho can secure rcto

ton will certainly be the first choice OF the delegates
but 1t is beginning to be felt that with his name we
should not enter into the contest with that

and strength OF General Grant. = M. Chase
calism odous, and II he adheres to the opinion that
the suffrage question Is question each State has to
other man the elements to defeat GRANT,
then we suppose the South will be satisfied.

As an evidence going to show how radical Sena
tors in Washington are manipulating the Southern
military districts read the annexed which find in
the Charleston Da,lv Netcs Of the Goth inst.:-"We
understand that General Scott received day or two
ago telegram from three republican Senators,
urging him to convene the State Legislature at once
In his reply TO this telegram General Scott said that
he had no more right to convene the Legislature
than private citizen had that he did not desire
to follow the example OF the Governors Of Louisiana

to do, and that he did NOT intend to be made the
tool or the laughing stock OF any political party"
Louisiana for the Democracy.
The New Orleans Crescent (democrat), June Is,
says the democracy do not intend, in compliance
with the Northern copperhead programme, to let the
State go by default. On the contrary, chey are re-
solved 10 every effort to assist in the election of
the democratic candidate. They may not succeed
but they think that they will. They believe that
they can carry the state at the November election,
and they find the greatest encouragement in the
result OF the April election. At that election, with
every exer,ion that could be made by the carpet
organization the total vote poed for the constitu-
ton was sixty-sx thousand-about sixty-two thou
sand coored votes and four thousand white
votes. The radicals will never again cast
SO large vote in Louisiana. The great
mass OF the republican vote comes from the colored
popuationin fact, for all practical purposes nearly
the whole OF it, But the white population greatly
exceeds the black population, and the white vote
under the constitution will be several thousand
in excess OF the black vote. We could carry the
State on direct contest between the two colors but
we do not rely solely on the whites. The result at
the last election in st. Martini St Landry East Baton
Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Claiborne, De Soto and
Caddo shows what can be done by proper organiza-
ton and energetic work. In those parishes the
black registration was nearly 1000 greater than the
white registration, and yet they gave democratic
majority OF nearly 5000. We were beaten then from
want OF confidence. We shall labor under no such
disadvantage the next time We know that we can
carry the State, and we intend TO do 1t.
