Correspsndenee between the Democratic
ana Whsw Osnsral Committees.


The Democralic Central Committee. through
their Chairman. have come out in a very singular
and Aippant ie,tsr. 1t il in reply to very
courteous, dignifsd, laudab'e. and manly letter
from the Wing Central Conmittee, inviting the
leaders Of the democratic party TO unite with It
IN paying couttesies to General Foo,e, and in |
preserving the peace and quiet of the city. In
reply. the Democratic Central Committee seize
the occasion to mako petty display Of partisan
feeling. The effort 10 about in the same position,
in reference 10 tho courteous answer which should
have been made. that pettifosger 10 70 re-
spec.able lawyer. We would not do the demo
cratic party the discredit of supposing that
majority Of iis members would for one moment
approye of this committee letter, with it, sneer
ins reference to the Inconvenience suffered by
the whigs in the disturbances of their meetings,
and the assaults upon their clubs, and ito dis.
courteous attempt to make partisan capital out Of
the liberal courtesy Of the whigs to distinguished
democratic opponent.
The Democratic Central Committee says: The
Democratic Central Committee rspel as uniounded
and un;ust. the assumption that the democracy
of New Orleans can in any manner bs response
bic for the acts of 'lawless men, whether they
style themselves wings, democrats, conservatives,
or independenss nor can the Democratic Com
m;ttee interfere. with any proprietv. in matters
connected with the peculiar organization of their
political opponents, or assume the duties that
properly belong to the police Of the city, The
Committee proceed to stultify themselves by add.
ip,. Immediately afterwards, in view of the
responsibility 10 which they we'll know parties
will be held bv the common sense of the CON-
munitv. The following simple declaration:
