A CONTRAST.-TmE DEMOCRATIC CREDIT
sYsTEM-A paragraph from an article in the
New York Post:
III Is false to say, as some have done, that
the democratic party are the enemies of credit
1t has no better and truer friends. Their entire
creed, their whole course of policy are favorable
to the lair, steady, regular use of credit. Their
principles forbid them to make laws in favor Of
one species of credit and against another He is
the friend OF the man who vindicatcs mans ma
tural freedom and equality: he is in like manner
the friend of credi, who refuses his appreciation
to laws enabling the credit of one class to over
power and swallow up the credit of another.
The democrat makes war against the monopoly
OF credit, he is the enemy OF that spurious ere
DIT which by the help of unjust legislation,
usurps the place of the true"
TuE VINO CREDIT SYsTEM-Counterpar to
the above.
The Wing" credit system is erroneous on
two accounts. Ii is erroneous because it inter.
ieres with commerce, which is always better and
more safely conducted when left alone It's
erroneous again, because il interfcres with OPT
mons. We reject the regulation of religion by
law as tyrannical and misehevious; we find that
a church established by law is the parent of
false professions and hypocritica observances.
Yet we regulate credit, which, equally with re-
igous belief, depends upon opinion we make
laws defining who are worthy of credit; our
state governments take upon themselves to in
struct us whose promises are to be trusted. The
sumo effect follows as in other cases where the
public authorities tamper with opinion. We
have insolvency in disguise of licensed credit
and the licensed few WELD their powers to the
disadvantage of the unlicensed many The real
enemies OF credit are they who support this mar
row, tyrannical, and us it now fully appears,
fatally pernicious system"

Extract of letter TO the Editor, dated
CLiNToN, La, SEPT. Goth, 1889.
DEAR SIR;--You requested me to inform you
from time totime, thNprogress OF the Rail Road,
but from press Of Duslness have neglected
TO do SO Finding moment spare time, drop
you few particulars respecting the progress OF
tho Road and its prospects. The lateral to
Jackson will be this week completed to the Cross
Roads, near Jackson, where there is already con
siderable Cotton dropped, to be conveyed by the
way OF the Road, aud from the circumstance of
the price of freight being so low, il will engross
the whole trade. The Clinton route will be fin
ished in about ten days, TO point, but short
distance from Clinton, where IL will receive the
most Of the present crop There is already con-
siderable travelling on the Road, as well as
great deal of back freight, and every thing APP
pertaining TO the Road exhibits lively appear
ance, and shows at once that the Stockholders
have every prospect of ultimately rcalising a
handsome profit on their stock. The cars are
daily frcighted with Cotton and back freight.
Property is fast rising in Clinton and Port Hud-
son, and as Clinton must be the central point,
an opening for the purchase of property, on
terms that will realise to the purchaser larger
profit than any investment that can again be
made in this section of country. The induce
ment for purchasers is great, and no doubt, by
the time the Road is finished, (Which will be by
the LIST of January,) it will double its present
value. All those who ride on the Road arc de-
lighted II will, when finished, be source of
pleasure and profit to the community. Provi-
slons and Groceries can be purchased at Port
Hudson as low as at Bayou Sara, and a large
quantity is kept on hand, fresh from the CITY
If you think the above will be Of any use to
the community, give it place in your columns,
and oblige your friend, CoTToN PLANTER

THE CIRCULAR OF ]. J. GRAVES
The apology for issuing his crudite ad
dress is an ardent wish to consolidate his
party. Chemists will inform him that
such heterogeneous materials as compose
his party, being almost void of affinity
cannot enter into any but an imperfect
combination.
His only plea for leaving his county
unrepresented for almost one third Of tie
last session, is indispensable business
We know of nothing save severe indispo-
sition, either personal or of the family pro-
per, Judge Smith had the latter that
excuses absence, The word business af-
fords such variety of definitions that it
can be used for almost any purpose, Ac-
cording TO his own definition il has caus-
ed much conjecture. He should have re-
collected, however, that he was SER
Want of the PEOPLE.
We scarcely conceive that his position
is of sufficient Importance to call out pri-
mary assemblies Of the people; and the
election is too near at hand for any decli-
nation unless he wishes to leave an uncon-
tested field to his antagonist. An ex-
preston will soon be had of public senti-
ballot Dor will shortly settle
hat matter. 1t would be az great SOL
,cism in politics as the removal of the de-
'ositcs sixty DAYS before the meeting ofI
congress.

crmine the existence of the senate,

GRAVES becomes first council, and finds
himself possessed of Bonapartan talents,
nc can do so likewise.
The majority of Graves's compeers
must be highly obliged to him for attribu-
ting the delays of business to their nd
journment for pcurile purposes. Are they
not also rcsponsible.to their constituents,
not him?
Even if Amite sustained no injury by the
absence of some fifteen members, no
thanks to them, nor to GRAVES. Could
he divine what might have happenedf
We take leave of Graves for the present.
He will see us again at PhiEppi; assn
ring him however, that we still entertain
high notions of his ability for Epic wri-

AMERICAN LoconorIvEs.-The best mandatory
Of Locomotive Engines in this country, is the esta-
biishment owned by Baldwin, Vail & Hussey, Broad
street, Philadelphia. Since this company began
their labors, few short years ago, they have manu-
featured one hundred and f,cenfy-nine locomotive
engines. OF this nsmber tweuty-six have been for
the Columbia and Philadelphia Railway, twelve for
the Utica and Schenectady, and ten for the Georgia
Rail Road.
These engines are superior in many respects to
any locomotives from any part Of the world. The
simplicity n their arrangement-he construction Of
the crank-the. location Of the fire box before the
driving shaft-and many other points, give them a
great advantage over the old mode and make. They
have remarkable capacity for overcoming accents
where increased adhesion Is required. One Of these
engines on ascending grade Of IS feet per mile ON
the Columbia Railway, drew thirty-fve loaded cars,
weighing Is7 tons, being equal TO 70l tons on level
This has never been surpassed, IL equalIed, by any
locomotive engine. In England, the capacity OF
their machines is far inferior.
In consequence Of these facts, We learn that the
Company are preparing to send specimens 10 rail
roads in France and England, in order to test their
capacity with foreign locomotives. American skill
and ingenuity beat the world.

TENNEssEE.-W have observed for
some time past from the public journals,
that political excitement was running
mountains high in Tennessee, and from
their warmth was apprehensive that the
Wings would not sustain their former
maiorities in that State,
But we have been shown a letter from
a gentleman in that State to friend in
this place, who assures him the Wing
majority at the next election will be in
creased instead of being diminished.
We hope and believe that it will be
SO, for the vote of no State in the Union
will have a more salutary effect in blight
ing the hopes of the Administration of
their continuance in power, than Ten
nessee. Let her remain firm and true
to her principles as declared by last
elections, and numerous will be the
States that will follow her bright and
noble example.

now--as they for some time have ewing

Forsyth as the candidate, an open rup-

But the party having discovered that
the people are not to be gulled BY such
tricks and articles, and that the Colonel
instead of being a tower Of strength to
the party is dead weight and draw back

to select some one possessed of more
influence, reputation and talent as a
statesman, whether this arrangement can
be effected without severing the friends

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE VICE
PREsIDENcY-The Loco Focos have for
some time evinced a desire to throw off
Col. Johnson in the next election, and
take up some one else in his place as
their Candidate for the Vice Presidency.
Thos. Fl. Benton of Missouri and Mr..
Buchanan. of Pa. have both declined a
nomination for that office, and the party
have as yet not selected their candidate,
but have signifed their wish or inten-
ton to run some one else In the place of
Col. Johnson.
The friends of Col. Johnson are not
willing to give in their adhesion to such
step, and seem determined that he
shall not be crowded off the track with
their consent. In the last kentucky
Gazette, the organ of the Democratic
party in Northern Kentucky, we notice
that the editor has hoisted the flag of
Van Buren, and Johnson, as declarations
of the wishes of the party in that sec
ton of the State. If that party should

Mr.. WIsE's SPRECH.-We have COM
menced with this days paper the publ
cation of Mr.. Wise's Speech on DefaIca-
tions. 1t may seem a little out of time,
but when the speech was received by us
we were so much pressed wit h advertise
meuts that we were unable to give it an
insertion. Besides, if we had of done
so, the community were too busy, and had
too much to attend to, TO have given it
an attentive Perusal.
But now as the time for arrangements
has passed, and the people have but little
to distract their attention, we lay 1t be
fore them, with the hope that i will re-
ceive their attentive perusai and conslde-
ration. If any one will read that speech
and is not convinced that the present
government is one of the most corrupt
that ever existed, and that eforHa, inanae-
diate reform, is necessary for the perpe-
tuity of our republican institutions
then he is such bigot, and slave of pas
sion and prejudice, as to be unfit to Judge,
act, or govern himself, or participate IN
the government OF others,
