The characteristic enterprise and progressive spirit of this well known merchant is a guarantee that he will be in the *fore f ront" of the mercantile fray this season. WA TCH NEW (ORLEANS. THE PROGRESS would not inten tionally do any man or set of men an injustice: but since men find so many excuses to do things in politics that their consciences would revolt at in business and social affairs, we think ourselves not only justified (in reference to the nomination of the 36 delegates at large to the Constitutional con vention) but we believe it our duty to say. twatch New Orleane. If we mistake not the signs. indications and maneuvers, the ring there will attempt to dictate the entire thirty sir. Our reasons for these are sev eral. all good, one being the al most certain candidacy of one of the bosses of the parish who kuows that he could not hope to receive 400 votes in this parish (a district in itself) out of a total of more than 3000 Democrats, and yet he is almost sure to be the administra tion candidate at large, if the New Orleans ring scheme can pre vail. Now what does the New Orleans Democracy represent in the great aggregrate of the State at large? Let the records of the last State campaign answer. In order to elect the city ticket. the Constitutional amendments among which was that priceless act of legislation to many Demo cratic hearts in Louisiana. the suffrage amendment. was wanton ly and shamelessly bartered to the Republicans and negro element who would take part in the unho ly deal: and by these same men who are now-if signs do not fail for once-trying to dominate the Democracy of our State. These men who traded the legislation of the administration's own creation. did it as unblushingly as Mounte bank ever delivered himself of his stale wit; and having :made their unholy dicker telegraphed over the upper domain that Democracy looked to North Louisiana for sal vation; lost their own parish by over 10,000 majority; were routed in all quarters; and then they have the brazen effrontery to set them selves up as dictators of the party supremacy in the State. Will North Louisiana submit to this servile slavery any longer? Will North Louisiana continue to be the hewers of wood and draw ers of water for this political ar tistocracy who reap all the rewards, receive all the fine emoluments; occupy the chief places in the councils, while this country con tingency do all the work, perform all the service-and cartry all the elections? If you would be men,'orth Lou aismmas, amsugt your manhaad; insist on your rights: show your independence: demand your pre rozatives and teach this Parker Krutt.schnitt combinati,-ýn that they have held the sceptre over the State Democracy long enough. Le: the country Democracy be on the watch-towers. Let them in form these New Orleans pretend ers. these pap-suckers and occu piers of chief places that it is time for the couutry to be heard from: that this North Louisiana. which was called on to save the Democ racy and did land Foster.will have something to say about managing this constitutional convention cam paign.
