THE OLD TORY DOCTRINE ON LOUISI-
ANA, AND THE NEW TORY DOCTRINE
ON TEXAS.
The New Haven Palladium has become
somewhat excited at supposing itself to be re-
ferred to, in an old quotation from New
Haven federal paper, which was printed in
that renowned city in the year 1903, and
which was copied into the Post the other
day.
1t seems that the present Palladium is quite
an ephemeral, or, as Susan Nipper would say
in Dombey & Son, only a temporary and not
permanency, it having come into the breath
ing world, only in the year 1929, and neither
of its distinguished editors having honored
this hemisphere with their appearance in it,
until 1909
Whereat, the New Haven Palladium cries
out unblushing falsehood"
1t seems therefore, that the present Palla-
dunn is not the immediate successor of the N
Haven paper from which the quotation was
made, but merely the successor of that paper
in its tone, temper and unpatriotic doctrines
in regard to the extension of territory.
This is all that is necessary to our purpose
which was to identify cold federalism and
modern whiggery' in Connecticut, and else
where, touching Louisiana and Texas. The
arguments now and then, are precisely the
same, except that the old federal editors hat
more point and purpose than these modern i'm
itators in running down their country and ST.
ding with her enemies. The authority WE
have for citing the old federal New Haven
paper Of 1903, is the Boston Centinel, which
is the best federal authority extant, and as we
gave but brief quotation from the article, we
now transfer the whole, which may be founC
in the leading federal paper which was printed
in New Haven, July 23d, 1903.
Under the head of Extracts from papers
by the last MAIL" the Boston Centinel ant
Massachusetts Federalistmf July 80, 1903
gives the following as the Connecticut feder
al argument against the annexation of Louisi
ana:
New HaUen, JUN %, 1903.
AT length the public are favored with TIT
amount of the purchase money for Louisiana
Fifteen millions two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars is the price we have to pay. Fo
what? Is it for our national independence
is it for our national honor or is it for means
to secure and strengthen both By no means
This would look a little like the spirit which
animated the councils of Washington ant
Adams, or those dreadful days so feelingly de
plcted as the &c rel n of terror"
For what purpose, then, is it that SIS, $50,
600 are parted with so complacently? Why
indeed, to obtain so many acres of good ara
BILE bog and wilderness inhabited, it is true
with plentiful stock of savages, which We
may drive from their inheritance, if we can.
But IN the name of common sense, you ask
wherefore do We want this additional terrific

sand miles in quest of strange soil? Hush
