It has been suited by some OF the
river steamboat then that the Harvey
House at Baton Rouge had been ell
gagged by the friends aud followers OF
particular aspirant for the Governor
ship, for their exclusive use while the
Convention is In session at that place.
The tGle, impaired to us Is that open
house is to be kent, and delegates are
expected to be influenced by that species
ofDtreating % after the fashion intro
duced by the Radicals since negroes
have been voting. and which wis said
to have been the game freely played at
the late Convention in New Orleans.
If sMch he the fact, we predict the de
feat OF any man In whose behalf such
practices are indulged in. The Demo
cratic delegates from the country will
be disgusted at such conduct and viii
Withdraw their votes and confidence
from any man who attempts or permits
his friends 10 introduce into Demo
cratic convention the disgracefll APP
planes that Packard and Warmoth
and the other Radical aspirants openly
used with their convention. An open
mi tf.I frxAn no
may buy negro delegates, but the expe-
rience OF those who shall attempt TO in
troduce the system at Ration Rouge will
find out 1t will not take with those who
will assemble there.

Vim. =. Booth and II. w. Robertson
arrived home on the steamer Katie and
we're received at the landing by IL large
coneonrse Of citizens, besides several OF
our local organizations, including the
First Ward Oolored Democratic Club
who were there la strong force.
! Ia the midst OF vollies Of artillery,
cheering music by the Independent
Silver Cornet Band aud sea OF stern,
determined faces the committee OF ten
met and conducted Booth and Robert
| son To the sidewalk facing the river,
where they were formally welcomed
home by Col. Andrew $. Heron, in
short. neat and appropriate address.
! This address Of welcome WAS re-
sponded to by Col. Robertson, in his
usual forcible and manly style. When
the reception had concluded our pris-
Oners and the whole concourse OF citl-
zens moved off up Florida street TO the
corner Of Third, when the crowd dis
4 persed for their homes.

conclusively showed that the people Of
Baton Rouge are not and will not per-
NIT themselves to be intimidated by
Packard or any other Radical scoundrel
or satrap ia the State who happens to
WELD a little brief authority.
We know our liberties rs American
citizens, and it is firm and fixed deter
mination with US to exercise those lib
critics when and wherever We please.
One of the privileges we claim Is that
Of driving the Radical thieves from pow
or in our State, which we intend to do in
November effectually. We have the
votes to do 1t, the brains and the will
and we are going to do IT,.

Among the candidates whose namcs
will be brought before the Baton Rouge
i Convention, there are none more worthy
of popular favor than that frank, ener
getic and chivalrous captain, SO well
known on land and water. We fondly
" hope that the name OF Allan june
will figure on the Democratic ticket fol
State Auditor.

The Vindicator claims the honor o
being the only man who has had sagac
ity enough to discover the right mar
for Governor. The Votdicdtor is {
sanguineous and murcurial individual
and just AS liable to be mistaken as an,
one else. Its choice is Gen. Frank j
. Nichols. Following the precedent o
the Democratic party as laid down b,
! the st. Louis Convention, we are OPP
posed to military men for office. Their
, are 50 many more OF them in the coun
! try than any other sort, that their name
!. don't carry as much weight with then
, as plain Mister.
