Generalization Of Neworleans and Lafay-
cite Crescent and Delta
Our neighbor of tile Delta says, that we g aim
more at Wit than logic Il III then processes a
willingness to break o lance with us, provided
Ne can keep our temper. Werather suspect that
We know On what points i'm which it deems us
vulnerable II wishes to break its lance. We
assllse ii, that, with the utmost good temper, we
anticipate making a reply, which will not only
prove the Achillean toughness Of our shield, but
prove so demonstratiye, that we would not sur
render ii for one thousand dollars, or even more.
However. let us pass to more important points,
Il and get to the substance Of the matter of Conso-
lidation.
VIZ advocate Consolidation, including Lafay-
cite;
The Delta adyocates Consolidation excluding
Z Lafayette.
Let the common sense. the sober reason Of the
community judge between US.
Why il Ldfyette to be excluded I That is the
question we ask. We have asked it before, and
we ask it now. The Delta answers, for politi-
cal and sectional feelings" What are those
political and sectional feelings We have asked
the Delta time and again, and always, it walks
around the question. 1t never distinctly tells
us, what are those political and sectional feel
ings,'' Of which it spoke 50 hippantly at first 1t
talks Of this it talks Of that: but it never
says what itmeant by the expression which it
put forth, in honesty, indiscreet, OF unrehect-
ing. If there are political and sectional feel
ings to be propitiated, we desire to know, who's
to suffer, in this sacrifcial precipitation we are
not willing that up-town or downtown, wing or
or:democratic parties, shall suffer unadyisedly.
We only ask that, gentlemen of the most exclu-
4 siye privacy shalllet us {. common people know
what they design. We shall swallow. or else
have no Consolidation. We think we are liberal;
but then, we may have some very vulgar demo-
cratic ideas.
But let us bring our neighbor Of the Delta
face to face with the real question at issue. In
answering our questions, it adroitly lodges, or,
as the school boy phrase has it, skips, over all
the hard places.
We said that its arguments, to the effect that
a recognition in the Constitution, Of the city of
NewOrleans, absolutely forbade all possibility
Of Consolidation, because NewOrleans was only
mentioned, and to the same extent, and quite as
strongly. the Municipalities had q recogni-
tion.. II was a hard place in the lesson, and
the Delta skipped over it. Fits argument stood
for any thing, Consolidation became Consti-
tutional impossibility. The Delta had too much
Of good thing, and that was very much like an
overdose Of artichokes.
After that, IT was reduced to position of
further quibbling. It came down to other mat
tiers, and vas bold enough to argue on the fol-
lowing 5s
But says the Delta, with the sembance of spe
cite in Neworlssns which Is recognized

fixed by the Constitution Its citizens
must vote Jefferson its magistrates must contine their
jurisdiction TO tho other side Of Felicity Road
To this il replies, amusingly enough, that the
