Ii has ever been desire with us, to
have Morning Journals to review

Morning Delta does We like the
caption "The spirit Of the Morning

liberty for commentaries. What is ii
that cannot be said about the spirit

Why POSITIVELY there is nothing. It
affords the largest liberty-there is

The city of Baton Rouge is great
city--itgrows alnasingly of late, and
is very much like that "sprout'' Of the
'rising generation who took d start
and went out Of his boots and breeches,
at such rate that he had to diHpence
with both, and 60 as nature intended,
before her laws were prevented, BY The
base inventions of man. We do not
pretend to say this great city has yet
done such thing, but it threatens
TO go out ofthe memory Of the Oldest
inhabitant.'' We shall endeavor to
hold II back, as much as possible, to
prevent flying off at the handles. In
view Of the approaching legislative
harvest, we are to have, four additional
daily papers. There is to be q Wing

current Of events. This last sheet will
rather conflict with or interest, but we
shall endeavor to stem the tide with

could be ascertained, in reference to
the next General Assembly perhaps
some two or three Of the four, would
not venture in the field. None are as
yet hearalded except the DAILY Gag

very prettily couched in yesterday

aNot only the business portion Of
our community have long felt the
need Of better advertising medium
than they now possess, but every one
ut all DESTROYS Of obtaining early and
correct information Of the passing
events Of the day, has felt the neces-
sity Of just such a paper as we intend
the "Daily Gasette' shall be.
The necessity Of "earlv and correct
Information Of passing events, we have
ourselves, felt and we hope that the
supply will satisfy the demand. We
find tia very difficult matter to get at
the truth Of anything. If we desire
q Democratic TRUTH we are not so
verdant as to look for Il in Demo-
cratic paper; and as to look for a
Wing truth, in Wing paper--why
the idea is supremacy Ridiculous !; for it
is holy principal with them to lie,
on all points involving the interest of
the party" Truth is very difficult
to get at, and is very scarce COM
modify in this market. We have for
long time past been on the lookout
for it, and some Of our. 900 reporters
have actually rentured to go into the
"well' where the ancient adage, says
"truth lies;;" but our reporters have
invariably come out in a drowning
condition, without it.
We always find it difficult to get a
good local subject for leader (per-
haps our readers have discovered this)

craft The True Delta, says in COM
plimentary language to Mr.. Gayarrie
that the day preceding that on
which the nomination was made, the
Slidell junta, we understand rendered
the nomination TO Mr.. Gayarre, on
the condition that he would retire, in
a suitable manner, bis spirited address,
to the people, which had then been
some days before the public. This,
we are informed, Mr.. Gayarre indig-
Inantly declined doing, as indeed
might have been expected by all hon
orable men, his address being caleulai
ted to win golden opinions for its an-
thor, and to eoncilhate, as We know it
has, the commentator Of the highest
political fuBctionaries III the Union.
Our readers will see from all this
how very little the people have to do
with the nomination Of even their
highest servants, and whatever lopin-
ion they may entertain Of Mr.. Gay
arre's political merits, will certainly
feel grateful to him for setting def.

ourselves as an especial favorite.-
