Well Done,

The New Orleans Delta administers a well-deser-
we'd castigation to the National feigencer, for its
opposition to the movement in favor Of Cuban nde-
pendence. The Mteltgencer is the very CARKER of
the Press and under an assumption of courtesy and
fairness, hides the most mali gnant passions and de-
signs The following is specimen of the article of
the Delta:

auguries to maintain its reputationto preserve its

tim with that which it employed against the patriots
of Texas, of Ireland of France and Italy varied by
large infusion of the strain of dignfed Bill

in our country advocate democratic prnciples,-di-
rected now against those who are ready to aid the
oppressed people Of Cuba. Not satisfied with calling
the President to violate the Constitutional rights
of our citizens, by preventing their exercising the
right of repatriation, and to protect the most infa-
nous despotism know in the civilized world, this
journal descends from its assumed dignity. to de-
nounce the movement of an oppressed and gallant
people, rising to assert and maintain their right to
govern themselves q mere conspiracy Matched in
this country by spectators and adventurers for their
own personal emolument,--a in which no Ameri-
can sympathise without violating national faith
