let slip an opportunity of putting forth reports
to the disparagement of its own city, as to the
decrease in the value of property, number of
houses to rent, &c. This must appear unac
countable to stranger, especially as every
stranger whois in the habit of visiting Louis
vile, cannot help marking the improvements
springing up in various parts of that city, prov
ing if it is not growing with that magical swift
cities, Evansville for instance, it is at least
steadily growing with a seemingly healthy
prosperity. 1t appears little singular, to say
the least of it, even if the facts were as stated
by the Democrat, that public journal of Louis
Vile should take particular pains to publish to
the world that which must injure it abroad,
and disagreeably affect, more or less, the credit
of those whose interests are identified with the
prosperity of that city. Certainly if an editor
permits such feelings to live in his bosom as
compel him to write against his own home, or
expose it's .inferorities and short comings, the
feeling should be strong enough to create u
motive power sufficient to carry him to some
other point and thus leave behind him the evils
which torture. But the motive actuating the
editor Of the Democrat is simply disgraceful.
1t is not an honest motive, nor can the actions
! it prompts be honorable. The Democrat is
simply taking revenge for last Augustus cleo
ton. Because houses were burnt down by a
mob, and under strong provocation as ever
beneath Gods Heaven brought men of strong
passions together and made them give rent
to their passions in unlawful violence-tbe
Democrat unw;sely in its partizan wrath de-
clared this mobocracy had given death-blow
to Louisville. Since then, that paper has lost
no opportunity of endeavoring to prove the
truth of its declaration. 1t has lately seized
upon sale of property as fit opportunity to
illustrate its theory, and even in this was COM
PEELED to make a gross misstatement Of facts
to sustain its position. It's whole object is
political 10 gain political end, to make CAPT
tai against the American party holding the
party responsible for the acts of the mob, ami
the mob responsible for the ruin Of Louisville
the Democrat seems willing to sacrifice the
best interests of the people and city of Louis
vile, and anxious to produce the very condi-
ton of things it now hypocritically deplores
while it exposes, yet which really has no exis-
tence except in the Inauguration of the editor
Of the Democrat. Thousands Of observing
strangers who visit Louisville every year or
business OF pleasure, and year after year, car
bear evidence to the fact, that Louisville is not
only growing city, but that abroad. excepting
where the SANDERS of the Democrat have taker
hold on gullibility, she has a reputation fol
prosperity. The very activity, energy anG
liberality of her business men, render such q
condition of things in her midst as that started
by the Democrat, impossible.
1t has only been a short time since we were
compelled to defend Evansville from the as
saults and SANDERS of one of her own editors
who sought to make political capital at the ex
pcnse Of the city in which he lives. At the
very time when hundreds of houses were
sprnging up here (os er four hundred last sea
SOM and when houses of all kinds were in de-
mand, lie spoke Of the decrease ofproperty anc
business. of houses for rent all over the city
:. &c. Indeed, for time it appeared to have
become the policy of Democratic editors to en-
deavor to make capital off the American party
by charging that in whatever city they were
formidable in numbers, that city was doomed
to decay, and the curse was written that he1
streets shall be covered with grass. Such
policy only Injuries the city and the people
which support these renegade editors, without
f accomplishing anything against the American
: lparty The respective communities will bes
be able to judge whether those editors are
blessing or a curse to them.
