Crosse Tete.

Under this caption the Democratic
Adrocate Of Thursday morning has
the following article
Now if we mistake not, the Rep
resentative from Iberyill, Mr.. Brown.
had quite as much to do in putting the
mater upon fair, equitable and sat
isfactory basis as the other party men,
toned. Indeed it would be nearer
the truth to give to Mr. Brown the
main agency in having it left to be oe-
cided by the courts of justice. We
mention this merely toplace the whole
question in proper light before the
people, that they may not be misled
by the Misrepresentation or misap-
prehension of interested parties, whose
sole object is the aggrandizement of
their favorite.'
Now it is perfectly we'll known to
the public, as well as the Advocate. y
that there is not a word of truth in the
above article. II is perfectly well
known that Mr.. Brown was the author
of the bill, by which the Parish of
West Baton Rouge was sought to be
dismembered Of nearly one half of its
territory, and the rich and growing
settlements on Crosse Tete, attached
to Ibcrvill, withoM alloacing the
People an opportunity to decide for
themselves. 1t is perfectly well known
that Mr.. Brown used every effort, and
brought all the influence to bear of
which he was capable, and succeeded
in passing his pet bill through the
lower house by a strictly party vote.
1t is also perfectly well known that Mr..
Slack, by his personal popularity, and
his earnest wish that strict justice
prevail, succeeded in presenting the
matter to the Senate in such light
as induced that honorable body to lay
the subject indefinitely on the table,
Notwithstanding the almost superhu-
man effort of Mr. Brown to induce his
political friends TO pass it. We have
said thus much ''merly to place the
whole question in proper light before
the people, that they may not be
misled by the Misrepresentation Or
misapprehensions of interested parties
whose sole object is the aggrandize-
ment of their favorite,' feeling con-
fdent that Mr.. Brown will take the
first opportunity to relieve himself from
the false position ON the Crosse Tete
question, in which the Advocate
seeks to place him.

"A returned traveller from the North

perfection in the depth of winter. at

the bait at the foot, and climbs TO the
top ofa high tree. As soon as the ami
NAL, attracted by the scent, arrives.

from his elevation with incredible rap
