THE DEMOCRATIC ONslITUTION.
A BULLDOZING BOOM.

The DEMOCRAT acknowledges D visit from
a leader of the Citizens' Democratic Associa-
ton, who has kindly advised us Of the dispo.
sition In certain circles TO organize q move
ment to deprive the DEM cRAT of the pat
ronage of merchants In case the course OF the
paper should not conform to a standard OF
polemicB pleasing to our new apostles OF poll
tics.
The managing editor Of the DEMOCRAT To
conscious Of the fact that he was wanting In
courteous Acknowledged Of this kindly In
terest In our business affairs. and now hastens
to repair the omission.
We confess to strong objection to parting
with business friends and prompt advertisers.
and the DEMOCRAT will labor very hard TO
deserve commercial support. So pronounced
have our efforts been in this direction that we
are sure our friends will forgive q display Of
interest In the pending political contest,
which Will have 80 important bearing upon
the future Of our State.
We stand for fair and free expression OF
the will Of the Conservative
masses, and will insist upon equal justice
for every legal voter.
The DEMOCRAT aecords to every man the
fullest liberty OF political action. and we claim
for ourselves the right to follow our own con-
victions as to the course which will be- most
conducive to the welfare Of the Democratic
party and people Of the State.
Our expressions shall be absolutely free and
nntrammeled, and we have too high an opln-
Ion of the intelligence and good sense of our
merchants to believe for one moment that
they would permit the clamor Of factious
politicians to influence them to a course which
might temporarily inllict some pecuniary loss
on the DEMOCRAT, but which would reflect
small credit upon them as fair and liberal
minded men.
Should such course be pursued, however,
our advisers may rest assured, that sooner
than yield one lot or little of our principles 10
the contemplate suggestion which has been
advanced, we would cart the type and fixtures
OF the DEMOCRAT to the lcvee and cast them
into the Mississippi.

earnest and enthusiastic supporters for the
nomination for Governor.
This closes the record Of our popular and
able young Lieutenant Governor but we are
sure that the next chapter will begin with his
election to the Chief Magstracy OF Louisiana /
Through all these campaigns, and thougf
ably and faithfully dseharging all his OIL AL
duties. Lieut., Gov. Wilt has all the time heen
actively engaged either in commerce. al pur-
suits or In the discharge OF the dut los Of the
second officer of large banking institution.
He has been charged with beinf n temporizer,
but that is d great injustice. that he il D man
of conservative thougl It and action In
the ordinary affairs OF business or
political life is GER .alnly true but that
is to his credit. Those fierce and I'M
compromising men whose trumpets are
tuned to one 4nceasing clangor, us Ii to az
innate the Y hole world to eternal battle, are
more TO be admired for their herolsm
than tr asted for their judgment. Gov. Witt
has learned lesson, OF which too many po-
Ii sical leaders are Ignorant, and that Is, that
i all the affairs OF society are founded on the
compromise OF conflicting opinions. Other
wise mankind would be at eternal war; and
law, liberty and property would be over
wheImed in common anarchy. But the ca
reer OF our distinguished friend Is replete
with evidences that when the right Is arrayed
against the wrong; that when there is q real
need OF Incorporating resistance, aye, re-
sistance to the DEATH no man can be more
resoIute determined and uncompromlsing
than he.
Before the people OF Louisiana we have
drawn tho likeness Of our candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor of Louis
iana At Baton Rouge they will tell us how
| they like it.

chairman Of the Citizens Association, 10 the
voters OF the eleventh ward, Ill when ne
somewhat imperiously announces his lnten-
ton TO run for the presidency OF the central
club Of the ward, at tho election to be held on

bic document in many ways.
He scarcely degns to ask the support oil
the men whose votes are requisite to his
election, and bluilly informs them that 1t ~
neither practicable nor convenient for him to
canvass the ward and solicit their sulitages.
The acquaintance OF Mr. Pagan will be sur
prised to learn from his own lips that he Is
"utterly opposed to ring influences and ma
chine ordinations" and they may possibly
be led to inquire the cause OF this sudden
