RATHER SUGGESTIVE, ETC., etc.

To Jas. r. JflrAs Editor Bayou Snru Le'qcr: Vac,

In answer to the foregoing the editor of the Ledger
remarks
We think that there can the basis of
scntuiion in will he nude the vote oed
Presidential election In former Democratic state Con
vcions The representation has always been male upon
general ,'eo counting one delegate for every one
hundred and more for every fraction over
fifty Democratic votes
We really hope our country friends will be mercltul
unto the a. New Orleans Democracy" They will do
better next time. Give them chance. They are en-
titled to ap opportunity to redeem themselves. we
don't believe they will again publish what they con
template DOING in advance of the general or any Other
election. And, besides, as the Democracy already
have ninety hunredths of the offices, federal State
and local. and will all the balance in year OF
two we are unable to discover the necessity that
for the adoption Of unusually harsh measures
So far as we are individually concerned, we wouldn't
care if there wasn't another election Tor the next de-
cade We are wearcd with arguing with obstinate
people, who will have their own way, and an antago-
nistc way at that despite the most eloquent atnotc
and devoted eXhorations. (Sec Crescent for last two
cauyasses) We are tired Of trying to country
the inhabitants Of which 'front.' let it be saved, our
| way no matter how it is Xcd What is the use OF
entreating stn.neclzed, sclG-wed, crowhar-hacked
generation? We can see none ; and we've tried it to
our hearts content. This country is great country
and this people great people but we don't believe
an angel from heaven Or the head deputy OF Satan
himself could turn them from following the paths of
Democracy. Therefore, let the triumphant Democ-
racy be generous to defeated friends in certain
sections and nlagnanmous to opponents in all sec
tons. Generosity and maSnanimty are cardinal
virtues and no true man or true party VIII cFeF re-
pudiate them. If a successful enemy flushed with
complete victory, cannot afford to be generous ana
nmgnanimous then the age Of genuine, lofty chvary
has passed and gone for the present. but we hope not
forever, for the sake of human nature
Now, as these Democrats are very clever fellows
except when they nsnuatc something about Ne"
York and wearing apparel, and current funds OF thu
United States, Gin connection with the late presiden
tjal e]ection) as established by the constitution
thereof. which was framed by divers and Sundry re
