preaching election.
We, therefore, earnestly urge
our friends ~ o0ntinUs the canvass
with unabated vigor, and with q
fixed determination to carry the
State for Seymour end Blair.
Whatever fate may be- ii store for
the Democratic party Of The coUu-
try, we shall then at least have the
satisfaction Of knowing that We
have saved our own State from un.
speakable evils, and that we have
ratified the action Of the National
Democratic Convention, by voting
for the candidates whom it NOM
mated. Such an expression az
confidence is due from us to the
great party which has espoused
our cause, and to the eminent men
who have been chosen to represent
It's principles and it's policy. The
attempt Of few persons to induce
change of front in face Of the
enemy, and to persuade the Ma
.tional Committee to ausurp the
functions Of the party, by dis
placing the nominees Of the Con-
7ention, has entirely failed. That
attempt was the result of a panic
happily limited to q small NUM-
Der, and followed by the exhibition
of more determined and enthu-
siastic spirit than ever, on the part
of the masses Of the Democracy.
The Democratic votes in the Elect
oral College will all be cast for
Seymour and Blair-let us make
it sure chat those of Louisiana are
included in the number.

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF
~. LOUISIANA.
NEW ORLgANs. Oct. 20. 1868.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. ~, 1868.
The result Of the elections in the
Northern States on Tuesday, the
18th instant, has not been such. as
to confirm the Just expectations OF
the country, that the pending poIit-
ical canvass would certainly termi-
nate in the triumph of the Demo
cratic party. It would be unoandid
to deny that the partial failure of
these expectations has caused
much disappointment; but it, by
no means follows, that disappoint-
ment must be succeeded by de-
spondency, or that we should remit
our efforts to carry the State Of
Louisiana for the Democratic
electoral ticket. We have the best
authority fer declaring that eur
friends at the North are not dis
mayed, but that, on the contrary,
they are resolsed to prosecute the
canvass with redoubled energy
anu YlSOf,s '&nQ, II possible, to re-
verse the results of the recent
elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Ohio. These results showthat
the Democratic party is steadily
gaining strength, and that only .
slight addition is required to give
i on actual preponderanoe in the
States which voted on the 18th.
In 1854, the three States of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana
cast ! ,324,084 votes, of which Lin
coin received I'll, 967 and McOlel-

The Elections.

The returns of the elections as
aggregated by the telegraphic re-
ports do not show so disastrous
defeat of the Democratic party, or
so overwhelming q victory Of the
the Republican party, as the first
reports led us to believe. On the
day after the elections the Repub-
leans claimed Pennsylvania by
$4,000, Ohio by 10000, and IN
diana by 1000. In the case Of In
diana it is plain that this claim
was based on Radical ante-election
estimates Of the result. The re-
turns received at the time the dis
patch claiming 1000 Republican
majority was sent do not Justify
any such anticipation. At the very
moment when the. Republican
committee at Indianapolis sent out
their telegram, claiming the State
by 5000 majority, all the returns
at hand indicated large Democra-
tic gains--at least large enough to
make the result doubtful. aae
AS TO Pennsylvania it appears
that the Republican majority is by
no means overwhelming or insur-
nountabla. The Philadelphia
Age, after carefully collating the
returns, estimates the Radical
majority at $500. 1.-THE Democrats
lose the State by no higher figure
than this, they may still carry It in
November !; and this possibility is
even probable by the fact
that the Democratic majority in
r Philadelphia was reduced at least
5000 by the systematic reiectionof
the votes Of naturalized citizens.
The Republicans now claim Ohio
by $4,000 maiority--a reduction Of
~, 900 from their majority in 1866
This certainly shows that the Dem
ocratiC party possesses great VI
tality and resolution. TO lose
Ohio by 5000 votes does not show
that the Democracy are 50 weak

" No better selection could have
been made for q candidate for
Congress, to represent the 3rd
Congressional District than Judge
ADoIPHE BAILEY, of st. Landry.
Judge Bailey was born in this
State and his interests are. in every
respect, strictly identified with
ours. A young man with a mind
of no ordinary cast, and although
he obtained the honors Of the Ju-
dicial ermine, in times which would
have been unfavorable to any other
less favored with natures gifts
and education's requirements, he
proved himself so fitted to the high
position which he was called to
fill, that he soon won the respect
and admiration of those who were
disposed to be his personal enc
mics. He is a pure and uncom-
promising white man, although he
has always shown himself ready to
grant full and impartial justice to
the freedmen and even to defend
and protect them in their just
rights. He is qualified to take the
test oath, having taken no active
part in the late war. A man of
principles, of resolution, of firm
ness he is most eminantly fitted to
the position of representing this
District in Congress, and it must
be said to his praise nat he was
nominated by the convention with
out his knowledge or consent. This
will be a sort Of revengeful pallia-
ten for his defeat by negro votes
