The Congressional Campaign.

Progress Of the Kellogg Canvass in the
Third District.
Senator Kellogg and his campaign
party are meeting with the most crafty
ing success in their tour Of the district.
They have addressed large mass meetings
at Plaquemine, Bayou Geula, Donald
sonville, Scattery grove, Paincourtvilie,
Napoleonyille, aud Labadieville, and at
overy point the people have turned out
en- masse to hear the arguments of the
Republican speakers. The effect has
been to strengthen the cause Of the Re
publican nominee very greatly and to
demoralize almost completely the small
following that Judge Beattie had i'll the
sections visited. All classes of fair min
ded Observers now freely admit that
Gov. Kellogg will receive the great mass
OF the Republican vote Of Iberville, AS
cension and Assumption, and besides
this he will be supported by large pro-
portion of those citizens who do not
actively participate in politics, hut who
cast their ballots for the men and meas
ures they believe best calculated to adj
vance the public interests. III addition
to the masses Of Republicans who have
gathered at the Kellogg meetings, Con-
servatives and Democrats have attended
in goodly numbers aud seemed to find
much to approve i'll the matter and man
ner Of the Republican canvass. If the
regular nominee and his friends meet
with the same success IN the other end
OF the district that has attended them in
this, Senator Kellogg's election by heavy
plurality will be assured. We believe
that Judge Beattie will get as many
Democratic votes as Republican, aud
that Senator Kellogg will have a clear
majority over Mr.. Acklen and Judge
Beattie combined.
