Cousinard. there were more drunken
vagabonds in the streets than has beer
known for . season. A number Of
arrests were made by that vigilent
officer. and among them white wo-
man, who has long outraged the de-
ceucy If the'lowcr part Of Town. We
heard her blasphemous screams from
the Jail as we passed there in the
evening She is evidently insane,
apart from her intemperance and
should be treated as such, BY her
friends if she has any, and if not, the
citizens who are annoyed by her,
should make complaint. In refer
ence to the drunkenness, along the
levee-it proceeds from two or three
miserable liquor shops that should be
closed, as public nuisances. This we
are informed will be done whenever
any two respectable citizens in that
locality lodge complaint to this effect.
By virtue Of his Office, could not our
Constable make such a representation
from his own knowledge, as would
bring about this desired result.

10 There is paper published in
New Orleans called the Southern
Journal" which is something larger
in its inches than the Comet, and We
doubt not for this reason, has a more
weighty influence in the public mind.
The editor takes up the weak slang
fred at us through the Democratic Ad-
vocatc, and after prefacing it with re-
marks Of lis own, sends it back to US,
in new guise. Still are we not uu-
horsed, but with new GRIT armor on,
are ready for any contest. Our side
is the strong side, it is the side of
America, and the citizens of America
Arrayed on the right, we are prepared
for any service, and will never be
found wanting. We have no desire to
dispute the question 'of authority
with the learned editor of the South
ern Journal, or any other sectarian.
We deny the Divine right of Priests
and Pries'craftry, and feel satisfied that
every true American citizen, either by
birth, or legitimate adoption, would
be willing to lay down his life in sup
port Of liberty, and the laws upon
which it is based, against the autocracy
of the "Catholic' or any other religion.
In reference to what we said some days
ago under the head of peculiar cir
cumstances," we would give utterance
to the same sentiments tomorrow did
the same local circumstances present
themselves. The same words would
have been used against the clergy Of
my other denomination under the
same circumstances but none other,
han the Catholic, has the audacity to
AXE such stand. That the course
oersued by the Priest here, in refer
'nce to The Masonic fraternity does not
meet with the appreciation of the intel
igent members of the church, we have
lbundence of evidence. Therefore we
nay we'll say that the sooner con.
'ession is made on this point, the bet
err.
