THE Happy FAMILY oFLoUIsL4.N:q


We found ourselves, yesterday, in reading
some democratic exchanges, involuntarily hum
ming the words of the song, sob, dear what
can the matter be-"
There is our amiable contemporary, the Delta,
growing quite ferocious over joking article OF
ours, in reference IT, abe State printing posi-
lively and surlily refusing to divide the State
and national printing with us talking of the
style in which 1t would do the former, with the
same magnificent grandeur with which it puffs is
own circulation; declaiming fercely about 'ly-
ing gossips" and sc foul calumny - cast upon its
immaculate character, and expressing savage
disposition to ornament some parties unknown,
with the brand of hot iron upon their foreheads
What is the matter, gentlemen democrats :
There are indications of a row in the family
and even about so small thing as the State
printing, which we are willing to take quietly,
and say nothing more about it. If there is to
be quarrel, why not settle the whole matter
by treating the Courier, Delta, Baton Rouge
Advocate and Alexandria Democrat-like bad
boys put into corner, and punish them by let
ting them see us swallow the printing plum :
That terrible and ferocious Delta which will
not make friends with us, will certainly devour
something or somebody, if it should not get the
State printing.
Next, we have the Louisiana Democrat echo
ing, with an emphasis, the Delta's war-ery
against Hon. Alex. g. Penn, member of Con.
gress from the Third District, ex-Chairman Of
the late Democratic National Committee, and
prospective Collector of the Customs at NewOr-
leans. 1t appears that Mr. Penn thought
Young America" too fast y youth, and
incredible to record! did not admire the Delta.
Mr.. Penn's literary tastes never could have
been properly cultivated, or must have wilted
away most grieyously in the atmosphere OF
Washington. Here is what the Delta said Of
his objectionable sins
M Alexander @. Penn, Member of Congress from the
Inird Congressional District rendered himself particu
Hxly conspicuous by his preension control The demo-
cracy Of the taths contsmptuous designation Of th
foung America party as set of boys IN Newnrleans
ibis caa~nious u The Delta ia this connection,
and his far seeing and doefu lamentations over The no
ninaton Of iebert for Governor The party which has
NJ Penn or Its representative in Washington
oe regarded In this State with any other feelings than
bitter opposition and distrustn
On this, closely follows tie Louisiana Demo-
crat, the organ of the Red River democracy. L,
gives Mr.. Slidell the compliment courteous, and
then, the following thrust deadly;
But he has been and still is surrounded hemmed Ia by
class Of politicians who would rather rule In he'll than
serve IN heaven There hanging to his skirts
your Penns and your Dsyidsons-who should long ago
have been kicked out of the democratic party for the
reasons that recrean soldier Is rummed out OF the lines

among brother democrats, and certainly do not
