cannot have failed to observe tho fact
that the New Orleans Courier-ever
ahead Of the hounds for the reason
that it gets its impetus from tho public
treasury, has given the war cry, or
rather bark, which is the signal to Let
loose the dogs Of war, on tho Detfa
newspaper. That paper has made a
mls-stop on tho chess board--las play
ed a bad card and now forsooth after
the fashion in other things everybody
at the table must come down ON the
player-drivo him from the table and
forbid bis entrance to the feast. This
IS radically wrong not approved of
by justice We would always rather
be on the weak side than the strong,
and are compelled in equity to our
own feelings, to enter the lists and
take part with the oppressed,
50 far in the political canvass, we
have not wearied our eyes by reading
platforms, proceedings of meetings,
campaign documents, leaders in the
party press, etc. Indeed the latter
kind Of readiug--political leaders in
the newspapers is not to any ordinary
physiognomist Necessary We can
take the name of such and couple
with it the name and character Of the
paper in which it appears, and give

The reason why the Delta has been
formally read out of church and State,
is summed up in nutshell. 1t want
ed Mr.. Douglass nominated for the
Presidency, in this, it was backed by
fully the best half Of the Democracy
in this State. The party held a meet
ing in that venerable Gothic structure
the State House, and selected some Of
the most trustworthy members of the
party, to misropresent them in the
Cincinnati convention. They did the
work and did it well, This did not
please the Delta, and like an indepen.
dent sheet (?) it quit blowing warm wa
ter on the democrat side--eamo over,
aud is now working q cold water
pump on the best hopes of the party
in the Crescent city. That excellent
party organ, the New Orleans Louisi-
ana Courier, noticed this, and like the
faithful gesse in the temple of Juno,
commenced a faint cackling weeks ago,
with an occasional hint that it would
come down with the full compass of
its voice, if the Deita did not do bet.

so the other day, out came the Cou-
rier with the following murderous
thing:

For five days the Delta, Of this city,
has contained every day, with one
exception, an article calculated to do
damage to the Democratic party. It
has not come out in open opposition
to our candidates, nor has it taken
ground against our doctrines, but it
has tried, in various would be-c cunning
ways, TO depreciate Mr., Buchanan, to
find fault with his nomination, to damn
him with faint praise, to announce
want Of enthusiasm in the party in re-
gard to him: IN short, to do every
thing which can be done by real
enemy bearing the garb of a friend. 1t
has steady persisted, for nearly a
week, in doing eyerying which eternal
treachery can do to n!jure the man
and the party it is supposed to profess
to support. Willing to wound and
yet afraid to strike" it has been at
tempting in the dark, and by indirec-
ton, to stab Mr.. Buchanan, in the
back in such way as at once to dc
him double damage and still leave
room for escape.
