CHIEF JUSTICE OF LOUISIANA.

We have not only no hesitation, but re,
honesty Of feeling in stating, that, as generi
rule we respect and admire the course of GU
ncighbors Of the Courier in the controversial
which we necessarily have with them. W
freely acknowledge their inyariable courtesy
and we respect the positive distinctness Will
which they enunciate their views.
We must ~, however, that we do not con
sidsr their editorial tone towards Christian
Roeolius Is q candidate for Chief Justice of thi
4tsts-and forced into position as q candidate
By wings and democrats fair, just, or generous
Wedo not say this in any discourteous or unkin,
. Feeling. We merely mean to say that we be
lieve they allow partisan feelings to sway Their
in the premises.
Are We correct in this Let facts answer 70
I. rs, and let US give our reasons for the pre-
sumption.
The Courier, of yesterday, contains in lieu O
editorial matter, and displayed as such, com
munication and selected editorial from tn
Lafayette Spectator. Both are in bad taste anc
in = bitter tone.
The communication (if we are not very much
At faulty is the production of a recreant wing
who, for years, begged pitifully, and almost un
asailingiy, at the heels of the wings for office
end coming to the conclusion that he might b.
more largely profted, deserted to the democratic
party. He. Of course, is bitterly hostile to any
gentleman, no matter how moderate that gen.
teman may be in the expression of his opinions
who happens to be whig by conviction You,
deserter is always violent, and the Jacobinical
howl Of " to the lantern" is the most familiar
phrase upon his tongue, where any one is con-
cerned who has not Joined him in his selfish
treachery. We more than suspect Sc Guthrie
to whom the Courier assigns so prominent a
place, to be a striking illustration of the class
Of political Arnolds. The Sc Guthrie we refer
to, has nothing in common with the distinguished
gentleman whose name he he's brazenly appro-
priated. The genuine Guthl is man morally
brave and true. He never deserted his party
for Office and in the darkest hours he stood by
his political colors, even when his own party
did not do him justice. Bitter politician as
James Guthrie is, he is above the littleness Of
making partisan feeling the criterion Of judicial
merit
But hear the Courier's q Guthrie and not,
his bitterness of partisan tone. We quote
Speaking of Roselius, he says:
Most magnanmous judge Do present his partisa
cams y, keep nosnng oack IRON mere ieenng
the antpartsan scrnpies your candidate and 8,
time TO accept OF party nomination He will then stan
fairly before the people. Be not ashamed-et him not
