hension, the question is not whether or not the
Delta believes in the law, but whether or not
the Constitution has ordered it. Constitutional
provisions rest, we must think, in spite Of the
Delta, upon something higher than its views Of
what constitutions should or should not be F;
and even the highest tribunals of the land can
not presume to abrogate constitutional pro-
visions, like the Delta, at their slightest plea
sure, at their smallest doubt about experiences.
This is the Delta's first great argument. Its
second flor it has but two) is of an equal mag
nitude and force. It thinks there should be no
law Of registry; first, because it does not suit
il; secondly, because it doesn't suit honest men
and honorable citizens; and thirdly, because il
does suit the rascals generally. Thus, it seems
the constitutional laws suit nobody but the ras
Gals; and that swearing false osths as legisla
tors and breaking down constitutional obliga
tons, is the only resort for saving good men ant
regular citizens Such is the lesson of moral
and of legislation which the ex judicial function
airy of the Delta has been pleased to expound t
us and to the public in its brief but pregnan
article of yesterday. The article of the Consti
tuition is the eleventh, as follows;
The Legislature shall provide by law that the name
and residence of all qualified electors OF the CITY OF Me-
Orleans shall be registered, in order to ente them
vote But the registry shall be free of cost to the electo
| Now, who does not see that it may be seriousl
questioned whether or not anybody can legal
vote in the city of New Orleans, until this i'm
perative requisition of the Constitution has bee
complied with by the Legislature
Such is the predicament in which locofoc
withdrawing has, for the good of the party
willingly involved the State. Probably the
had seen in prophetic revelation the powerf'
reasons which the Delta was to give for disr'
rarding the Constitution, and so they wake
over it.

The article in the local column of yesterday s
paper, concerning the cowhiding case, was writ
ten while we we're half incredulous as to the
truth of the circumstances related to us con-
corning the affair Ascertaining that we have
been dealing with fact, and not fiction, we deem
it no more than just to disclaim all intention Of
wounding the feelings of the lady therein spoken
of, and to earnestly hope that we have not done
50. For one reason we do not regret the publ
cation of the article any lady is liable to re-
ceive annoying or even insulting notes, and the
exposure of the brainless and unscrupulous who
are in the habit of committing such outrages is
matter of public as we'll as private justice

Of corruption, should call down from the COM
munity cry of disapprobation against that
party under whose rule it was fastened upon u.s.
The object of the democratic Legislature IN
passing the law was, by means of the patronage
at the command of the Police Board, to make 1t
political engine for the controlling OF city
elections With six hundred men, holding their
offices by :sufferance, and compelled to do the
bidding of their masters, it might well nave
been predicted by this corrupt Legislature that
the objects of the law would be fully carried out.
| But the subject grows upon us and Is withai
so full Of matter provocative of indignant COM
ment, that we cannot dispose of it in the limits
of a single article
Seeing that the last democratic Legislature
has foisted upon us a law so utterly odious and
tyrannlcal, it becomes the community to visit
upon the candidates of that party, now seeking
to become law makers, their indignant repre-
tension Let them elect legislators VINO VII
repeal a law so subversive of public rights ane
who will not make use of their high mission fol
party purposes

The ISLANDER SUIr-Mr. Pandely, it will be
remembered, has instituted a suit in the Fourth
District Court against Mr.. Wilt for slander, in
questioning his status in the Board Of Assistant
Aldermen, and in publishing sundry documents
with view to prove the truth of the allegations
against him. We are authorized by Mr. Wilt
to state that the report circulated by Mr.
Pandely and his friends to the effect that he
!. (Wiltz) has endeavored to effect compromise
of the matter, is false; that, on the contrary
not having been instigated by malice but BY
desire to see justice done to Mr.. P. and the
members of the Board, he earnestly desires that
the principle involved in the origin of this suit
may be passed upon as early as possible BY
competent court; and if, after thorough in
vestigation he fails to substantiats every charge
he has made against Mr.. Pandely, he is willing
to abide the consequences.

LAUNCHING THE STATE Boar Flor
IDA.-This boat which has been un-
dergoing repairs at the Bayou, North
ofour town, was launched yesterday
under the direction Of Mr.. DuGaAN.
The hull Of the Florida has been
lengthed and repaired, in very sub
stantial manner. She is now one of
the best boats in the service, and will
soon be ready for duty.
She will drop down to the Baton
Rouge Foundry, where her engine
will be taken ON board. This has un-
dergone a complete reftting by Hill &
Henderson at the Foundry.
We learn that the State Engineer
Mr.. MonsE, designes building new
boat for the service, near Henderson's

BATON ROUGE, LA, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST q. 1853

~ln communication for the
Picayune signed x, on the mora
prospects Of New Orleans, we find the
the following very truthful paragraph
which will apply with equal force to
every place in the State of Louisiana
We commend it to the careful atten-
tion Of parents.
Every right thinking man in this
community has seen and felt for
years past that the physical prosper
ity of this city was perverted In foster
ing and feeding q morbid, immoral,
lieentious appetite, which has grown
with our growth and strengthened with
our physical strength. Men, who
dearly loved the city Of their adoption,
have been obliged, from a stern sense
and obligation, to carry, their children
to distant parts Of this country or, to
Europe to be educated, thus alternating
the affection Of their children from the
place Of their nativity And as this
led parents to make annual or semi
annual pilgrimages to visit their child
ren, the germ Of absenteeism has flour
ished, and the vigorous homogeneous
element Of strength and prosperity has
been lost or weakened, so as to debili-
tate rather than strengthen our social
system.
The same writer very justly re-
marks.
You need not complain of the laws
against selling liquor to slaves not be-
ing enforced SO long as our officials
reward men with office and place who
can control grog-shop influence on
election days How can men enforce
laws against the elements that sustain
them in Office.
