Our esteemed friend, the Mansfield Reporter has

DeSoto On the contrary, all The accounts from this
parish represented united hopeful aud energetic
party. Besides this all the nominees were known to
us, personally as representative men OF their parish
and party, as true, tried and honorable men,, We
know of no disaffection in DeSoo; we know of none
now. On the contrary friends there are, in the

lieve they will do it. All honor, say We, to them.
y Our remarks were intended to apply only to Bosser,
and only to the candidates for the Legislature, We
had understood there no objection to Captain
Thomas land we cannot conceive of any but that
there was a division of the party in regard TO mem
bers for the Legislature. Whether this division
was predcated on alleged trckery of the nominating
convention or upon what other cause, was unknown
to us. Nor did we certainly know that there were
two distinct tickets n the field but were told So
and assuming it to be the fact and in the absence of
any intelligence as to whether the regular nominees
had or would accept we called the candidates them
selves and on the solid of the party to harmonze
And this they ought to do at once. In our opinion it
is simply absurd to assert, there will be no Radical
candidates. though their names may not be announced
They will be run, and we believe it is the duty of all
Democrats to support their nominees.

Editor Daily South Western
You will permit me to correct statement made
against me in your issue of October 10TH In Justice
to my friends and myself do not hesitate in saying
that was the regular nominee Of the Republicans of
the Fourth Congressional District for Congress, and
that the eighty thousand colored voters of the State
should have at least one Representative in Congress.
But hnding myself alone advocating the rights and
privileges of race having means to carry on the
contest and believing that it would result in the cleo
ton OF the Democratic nominee and the ionomnious
failure of myself and business, have withdrawnnot
for five thousand dollars fattering greenbacks.
Very respectfully,
