annum, and honored US with the appointment.

pointment-but more particularly are we pleas

to pay the printer a just price for his labor.
A hnow Nothing I~riumph.-On last Mon.

We We're honored with one vote. Well, it is
gratifying for US to know that one of our
friends regarded his promise-the more so as
the vote given 10 us, was by the President Of
the Jury.
One vote is precisely what We got here for
Printer; and had promises been regarded, and
other considerations still stronger than promi~
SEES, our contemporary would not have been so
fortunate as to have been elected sole printer
at a salary of $500. Bvt, "what is, is right"
we presume. We perceive above, too, that the

right to do here.

From the Minden Democratic Herald
so from the straw where Bedlam's prophet mods,
He hears loud o~racles, and talks with the gods"
We heard a man who lives in Minden, say
the other day in reference to his influence at
the polls: "Show me where the stand is, and |
will always drire the game there!!" And he
spoke the truth; bnt it called to our memory the
words of George Washington. where he fore
warns the American people touching the pros
titution of the elective franchise. But Wash
ington was a small man in comparison to some
who figure in this day and generation, and his
admonitions are to be reckoned as the wild ra-
wings of the maniac when found to rebuke the
designs of modern wire-workers at the ballot
box. God save the Republic. Our nationality
stands upon the that man is capable of SELF
government, but some seem to doubt their own
competency in this way, and, with a niggard'y
servility that would shame an African, fawn and
.truckle to a second hand influence. 1t is re.
marked, in a paper now before US, that, sunless
the ballot box can in some way be purified and
redeemed from its present corrupt state, honest
men will soon become so thoroughly disguised
with the farce of elections, that they will not
offer to vote at ALL" We think this very prob-
able; but we trust iu the purity of the masses,
when once sufficiently aroused to a sense of
their rights and the daring wrongs sought to be
perpetrated upon them. The sentiment of
Grattan, the great Irish orator and patriot, is a
good one: II rose with the rising fortunes of
my country-l am willing to die with her ex.
piring liberties" Let every freeman in the land
cherish and cultivate this feeling, and exercise
on all occasions, untrammeled, the political
blrth-rlghtw which every American citizen, wheth.
er native or adopted, should hold sacred-the
right to vote 'for himself, and not another."-
DO this, and demagogues and tyrants will soon
learn their proper places
Like that bold bird on the banks of the Nile,
That pick the teeth of the CROCODILE"
they will soon find that their "picking" is un.
profitable and their cooling contemplate!

Mr.. f., ID, Woods.

In an article last week relative to the Police
Jury, we referred to this gentleman (whom we
rank among our best friends of the opposite
party) in a manner as to induce the belief that
he had promised to vote for giving the printing
to both papers. It was not so. We certainly
expected his support from a conversation that
mao passed between US but it appears that we
misunderstood the gentleman. His intimation,
from which we drew the inference that he
would support the measure alluded to, was
based upon premises, which it seems, to the sa.
tisfaction of his mind, did not exist-there-
fore his steady adherence to a previous prin.
ciple.
The fact is. knowing that the Police Jury
was largely Democratic, we never should have
petitioned for the printing in connection with
our contemporary, had not a similar favor been
shown him. He is truly a fortunate man. In
the Fall OF l84s, our contract wa broken that
he might have the printing also and half the
pay; in the Spring Of 1850 his paper bursts
up; he starts another in the Spring of 80 in
one year afterwards, our contract was again
broken and the printing put up to the lowest
bidder, that he might have a chance to get it he
didn't get it, however; competition ran high,
of course; he ran his bid down to $50, when
we bid nothing and got it. Who doubted our
right to make that hid! Six weeks after.
however, the Democrats having got into power
in the Police Jury, this sale, made to US by the
Sheriff, was annulled! by the Police
Jury, and the printing given to our contempt.

TOur contemporaries of Baton Rouge are
firing at each other occasionally, we perceive,
with pretty hot shot; but one deserving char
acteristic which marks their warfare, is the
fact, that however bitter and sarcastic, they
never indulge in ow personal illusions, or con-
temptible personal e~pithets, which proves the
weakness of ones pen when thus perverted,
and the shallowness of the brain that directs
it, as we'll as the cowardice Of the heart that
prompts such a course.
