Political.

A meeting OF the Democratic
Central Committee of the Parish
of Laiourche was held in ThibO
danx last Saturday. 1t was re-
solved by said committee that a
Mass Meeting should be held on
Sunday July IS, at Lezin Mar
tins residence about y miles be-
low Tbibodanx for the purpose of
appointing a rev central paro,
chial committee, nominating Del
egates to the State Convention
at Baton Rouge to he held next
month, and for any other purpose
that may be deemed necessary
for the benefit and re~organisa-
ton of the Democracy Of Lafour-
che.
This is an important Mass
Meeting and should be well at
tended. The Democracy of La
f%ourcIie are fully able to carry
this Parish by 500 votes maiori-
ty and nothing less than that
figure ought to be permitted.
The Government of the State
having been but Il short period in
the hands Of honest men, should
be kept without the reach Of the
thieves and villains who have
been pIundering her for the pre-
vious eight years.
There is good dealot complaint
made against the action OF the
late Legislature. Whether that DO
DIV could havedone better than it
did is a question that may be ar
gued, but if the members compo'
sing that body failed to accom-
plish all that should have been
consummated, it is not wise poll.
cy, for the voters to permit the
State Government to be lost tt
the Democracy, but every one
should exert himself and use al
his influence to place better mel
in power than there we're during
| the last two years.
Let the determination of every
voter be, to go on improving, an,
whenever any person elected t.
any Office fails to perform his du
ty thoroughly, honestly, justly
; drop him without ceremony ant
choose a better man to take hi
place.
I It should be every mans bust
ness to take part i'll all prelimin;
~ organisations and use his i'll
!, luence in having the right me-
in the right place.
) We have in this Parish ten p,
lice jury wards let the Demo
t cratic voters of every one of then
meet, consult, and choose before
hand two among their number t
t represent them in the Parish Coz
/ mlttee.
$ We are unable, as yet to stat
whether we shall have a prelim
0 mary election or II nomiuatln
ConveDtiOn. The first moaus i
nearly impossible to day, on az
$ count Of the heavy expense to /
e incurred, which nobody eau we
L afford in these times of gener;
shortuess. So, supposing that
Convention is to choose the cal
IidateS, it is of the highest impt
taiice that each and every war
X should have IL real and competeI
representation.
II Let Clubs, composed of Dem
Il cratic voters. be organized in G
Q cry District or Police Jury war.
VI let them elect their delegate
and we r convinced that |
r this means we shall arrive at
!, cordial understanding, which wi
,, satisfy every body.

tins on thetwenty eighth be

that will conduct it safely into
y victorious harbOr.
