Editor Democrat:
A few numbers back l was pleased
at your correspondent Junot's plain
talk about Democracy and our duties
in the present canvass, and more spe-
cially was I rejoiced to see one who
has taken the nom de plume Of one
Of Napoleon's Marshalls, tell plainly
that A. Barbin was Radical or had
been acting with that party, and my
main object in writing this is TO say
to Junot, 60 on, your head is level
on that point, and don't let one DO
crowded on to Democratic Conven.
tion, whose skirts are soiled with the
foul touch or faint OF the Radical
party of Louisiana. Then, again, it
looks suspicious to see candidate
enter the list for official favor, who,
at the very onset has to bolster up
his Democracy, or should say his
apparent claims to Democracy, with
q certificate. This looks bad for the
|aspirant, more particularly when he
comes before the public Of Rapides
with only seven of Committee,
composed of q members, and tell in
Alexandria that he will come to tho
Convention with q solid delegation.
Mr.. Editor, the office Of District
Judge is an important one, and should
not be sought by incompetence, and
least of all, should one Of doubtful
political standing, come into regu.
lar Democratic Convention and ask
the endorsement Of our party in his
favor, when he is very recent con-
vert, and has bolstersd himself w
with a weak certificate. Put none
but good men, true men, able jurists
on the Bench, and then for one say,
that as we are to have Democratic
nominating Convention, no names
should be permitted to enter it ex-
cept those known to be politically
sound. This is no time for expert.
ments and political charity and for.
|giveness; we have ADLER men and far
sounder and truer Democrats in our
ranks in Rspides, than Mr.. Barbip,
and let US choose from among them.
Let that choice be from Rapides, she
is entitled to the Judge, and then let
us give Avoyelles and Grant candl-
date we can vouch for to- 4 man,
about whose true political s,ataa
there is no blemish, no doubt, and
one who our party can endorse to
man. We want no political suiside,
we want no mongrel ticket, We want
q good one, = Democratic one, and
let the opposition keep their own
men, and we will light the whole op-
position truly, squarsly, fAirly, and
on principle. We can't now yield to
any compromises or fasioas but
have clean ticket, that viii pass The

Tuesday, April 1st, the occasion was
improved by the delivery of an able
and interesting discourse by DIR. J. M.
PEBBLES, the celebrated pilgrim travel
er, whose extensive personal researches
among all nations of the eaath, into
their sacred histories and different re-
ligious systems, enabled him to speak
$ with the understanding" on matters
pertaining to the immortal part of man,
and the future eternal destiny of the
human race. His remarks were based
on II Cor. 18th chap. 4th to 11th verses
and 18th chap. 35th to 55th verses.
The remains Of the deceased were
taken by the o'clock train to Cleve-
land, thence to Painesville for inter-
ment.
In my correspondence last week an
awful blunder occurred in setting the
type. I wrote in relation to VIM

and the types made me say Trance;
proof conditions, &C., an unmeaning
expression, and excessively annoying
under the circumstances in which it
was written. VERITAs.
