Aaos ADAMS, Secretary,
nyMr MARKS, one of the editors Of
our sprightly and amiable contemporary,
the Bayou Sara Ledger, was in town last
week. We deeply regret that our absence
to Mississippi deprived us Of the pleasure
Of taking him by tteSaland. We hope to
see him, and his associate, however. in
their own sanctum, before they will lave
any use for that fine levee soon TO be built
around their town. Although we do not
feel authorized to appropriate his high
compliment to us, yettwe cannot refrain
from giving an extract from his article
Mr.. ADAMs, Of the Gazette, was not
in town when we called at his office, blt
we had the pleasure Of seeing and becoming
acquainted with MI. CHARRoTTE, the
former editor Of the Daily Reporter who
is engaged in the Office. Mr.. ADAMS is a
practical printer and one Of the very best
editors in the State. The only objection
that we could have to him is that he is one
Of the strongest wings in the country but
such differences Of opinion among editors
Especially printers,) ought not (and does
not with u.s. to interfere with their person.
al and private relations.
We fully agree with our contemporary in
the sentiment that political differences
ought not to interfere with social relations.
We go farther: a man whose politics are
Of 50 bigoted and fanatical a nature that he
looks with an evil eye upon his neighbor
because he, in the exercise Of his i~nalien-
able right,-honestly differs with him in
opinion, possesses a heart that a respect
able hyena would look upon with loathing.
A difference in regard to politics should
never be permitted to interfere with friend
ly relations between man and man.
BY the way, the "only objection we
have TO Our Bayou Sara friends is, that
although among "the best editors in the
State {" they DIRE about the stronger
democrats lin the country" But new
ertheless, we most cordially wish them
the highest o6hspccesS jill life.
