The above appeared as mn editorial in
the st. James Sentinel (Republiean) on
the 1st inst, three days previous to the
nomination of Packard for Governor.
The editor Of the Sentinel is one OF the
most intelligent Republicans in the
State, and perhaps understands the
animus of that party better than any
other man in It, The italics are ours,
and is certainly prediction OF defeat
emanating from Republican source.

In searching for the homes of the
nominees of the Radical State ticket,
we do not find one above the mouth Of
Red river. A negro named Honore
comes the nearest to meeting the de-
mands of the North Louisiana Radicals
and lives nearer to New Orleans than
Harrisonburg.
We are little anxious to see what the
Southern Republican Club, Of which
Col. John Ray is a prominent member,
will do with the carpet-bagger Packard.
The Southerns appear to have suffered
the same fate as the North LOui5ianians
ut the hands of the Boss.
Baton Rouge Advocated
Saturday evening last, O. III. Foreman,
Sheriff Of the parish, and acting in the
capacity of United States Deputy Mar
shal, served writs of arrest on William
s. Booth and Col. Ed. Robertson, on the
charge Of conspiracy to induce Geo L,
Davis, O pretended United States officer,
to quit his office. This Is the same
charge brought against the ten citizens
who were arrested here some few months
ago.
These gentlemen had no connection
whatever with the Davis affair, except
that they were present at the mass
meeting of citizens who requested the
resignation of Geo. Z. Davis as Parish
Judge.
The real object Of these arrests is ap-
parent to every sensible man. but II
s. B. Packard or any other Radical
scoundrel thinks such acts Of villainous
oppression can or will intimidate any Of
the citizens of this parish, he is vastly
mistaken.

Ex Mayor Wiltz will most likely be
the Democratic nominee for Governor
OF Louisiana, although Penn stock is
said to be looking up, and Gen. Nichols
is favorably mentioned.

Whether or not the country has
abandoned "all pretensions for the first
man." we are not prepared to say; but
we think we can safely assert that the
delegates from the country parishes
will not 90 to Baton Rouge with either
local or personal preferences. II we un-
derstand the feeling Of the country
people they desire the nomination OF
the best and strongest man, whoever he
may be, or in whatever part of the State
he may reside. This is certainly no
time for the indulgence of personal or
local preferences or animosities, and we
shall be sadly mistaken in the charac-
ter Of the delegates If they permit such
considerations to influence their action.

no doubt many of its people, entertain
