We give the card in full in order that no mistake
NAV possibly occur in regard to the name or the oca
ton of the before mentioned firm. This is matter
we deem of some Importance in the premises. And if
there happens change Of locality or of name, we
shall take satisfaction in spreading the fact gratui-
tously before the commercial public of New Orleans
and the agricultural public of the Southwest This
is more than we would do under ordinary circumstan-
ces, consequently we expect in return corresponding
amount of gratitude.
Messrs. :: j. A. Morton 4 Co.." ETC., ETC., among
other vast and varied requirements they known to
possess, are literary lions of gigantic magnitude.
They write for the newspapers! Start not, gentle
reader for it is positive fact. And their versatility
in composition is truly astounding. It exceeds any
thing we have ever met with in our reading. They
range from "graye to gay, from lively to severe"
without any apparent effort. They touch upon all
subjects, and are masters of ALL in-ther opinion
at least The Cincinnati Price Current Of the 18th of
November now lying before us, proves what we say.
In that Price Current letter from Messrs. j. Nor
ton e. Co.. ETC., ETC., is published dated New Or
leans, Nov. s, 1856" The letter treats of cotton,
sugar, the sugar crop, COW peas and corn the corn
exchange, the lost greatness of New Orleans St.
Louis -four mess pork, whisky, Malaga fruits, low
rivers, health of the city, yellow fever and the late
election. The number of themes set forth would ap
pal ordinary newspaper letter writers but the stu
pendous fact is as apparent as the moon in eclipse
that Messrs J. A. Morton & Co., ETC., etc, are not
ordinary newspaper letter writers. Hence the facility
with which they meet and overcome difficulties.
For the edifcation and enlightenment of the COM
munity, we append the whole of that portion of the

The aluson to the "saVages is really exquisite
But, DID the saVages scare Messra' "J' a. Morton
y Co.," etc, etc. why the very idea Is unbearable
II they DID, they did ut brighten anybody else. That
one consolation, although poor one. The Mayor
WILL no doubt, be obliged Tor the information so CURLY
conveyed as to his Official duties, and will try to dc
better in future But, unfortunately, the Mayor is
hedsed in by laws and ordinances, and cannot arrest
men g alive or dead this thing of arreSting dead
Hen is purely original idea-wthout they violate
the law, and proper atidavits are made before him
to that eject we are not aware that the" savaGes
violated any law Or ordinance. Why, bless YOU
souls Messrs. 81. A. Morton & Co., etc, etc., you
can lawfully paint yourselves Indian fashion, put &
whole peacocks tail on each of your radiant heads
engirt your honorable sides with rcvoyers and bowie
knives, mount mules having prodgious ears, and ride
through the streets of the metropolis without laying
yourselves liable to arrest for violation of any statute
Or ordinance. But, don't you doit Wcbeg you vii
not. Just think OF the consequences, and pause
you Should the whole community, men, women
children and negroes, would incontnently take to the
heels and make for the swamp. There they nigh
sarye to death, or freeze to DEATH catch the teve
and ague, which would be horrible indeed Nov
don't. Let Us entreat YOU. Think of the mother
