% The HOWm0 Ceres, takes an
extract from one Of the Daily papers
Of this place. and prefaees II, with a
country contemporary says The
Ceres will obligs, many ofthe admirers
Of the fructifying 60 'dess, u tell us
how large cities get to be, in his Sec
ton Of the country, before they are
entitled to be called such. We have
the same complaint to make here,
against the country press" that the
New Orleans papers, growl about in
their northern contemporaries. The
Gothsmites press, speaks Of New Or
leans 40 a Provincial town, whilst our
own country papers in speaking Of the
Capital, will call us, and classify us
with the country. Furnish US your
ideas. Blake. Of what you conceive to
be city. If this place is not entitl-
ed to the appe1la'ioh. then there is
none on this side Of the sublunar world
We assert this, without the fear Of con-
tradiction on there several different
counts, each one Of which, should be
sufficient to reasonable mined. In
the first place we have the State Peni-
Tertiary here, which entities us to
boast tantilizipgly to our neighbor in
Lafourche that we have more thieves
here than at any other point, We have
q quantum su6c;t Of Lawyers and
sprinkling of Indifferent honest men.
We have unlimited suburbs, and this
is Of itself sufficient reason. We have
churches ad hb;tum, with eminent
diviues adj libitum; enlightening the
public mind on al manner Of subjects,
from the moral aspect Of people IN the
milky way, down to the " importance
to salvation" in sprinkling with water.
We have our full proportion Of great
men. Allowing them the privilege in
ulged in elsewhere, of measuring their
own capacity and We have more great
men here. than any where else We wot of.
Let the Ceres, bear in mind our Press
-our public press representing both
Of the great political parties that now
exist, and several others besides that
do rot exist. Let the Ceres contem-
plate these things, and never, in speak
ing of things which eminate from an
cieut Red Stick, say that they come
from the country. He cannot do it
