cious or unconcious star to come to the
proof. 1-.-
On the other hand, we retort the
accusation, and charge the 'Comet"
with many assaults and much murder
the assaults being editorial courtesy,
and the murders, those Of the English
language.-Cyescent.
There! Our friend in the Crescent
hos set US SO far back, that it will take
us "a time" to regain our strength and
position in society, as an elegant chast

rules and tier exceptions, and have
to live in fear Of the English" then
we will call convention Of Louisiana
