Have you ever sat, reader, when the

tains Of New Hampshirci Those grand,
old druidical mountains about which the
summer streams hang their silver neck

weave their garments Of snow! Then,
while the Are.names dashed their yellow
light over the great brown raterA and
with every break Of the wind, tho wither-

most expecting to see pair OF wild glar'

Rather P,,nge.nt.


The Baton Rouge Gazette and Comet, of the 18th
instant in referring at length to defence of the
present Legislature put forward by the Advocate of
that city, concludes long and pungent article in the
following terms
Posterity-the page of history and unborn genera
tions so often spoken of in poetcal way-wll have
little to do with what is now being done Great acts
and good deeds only live monuments and the page
Of history have little to do with perpetuatng SUCH
they are independent of both, and live III spite OF
them. If there is anything on the record of the
transactions Of the State Central Committee ana us
" Democratic " Legislature that deserves to live, and
contain virtuous vitality enough to travel down the
stream of time quarter Of century our friend IN
Church street will ebge to point it out. Does he
class the Democratic organization OF the unconsttu-
tional Board of Swamp Land Commissioners as one
of the acts entitled to the panegyrics Of posterty
Are the hgh-handed measures Of the last Legsia-
ture by which citizens elected by the people to repre-
sent them in the General Assembly were turned OUT
of place, and their /" Democratic opponents placed
in it's this creditable record for postertyg Does
the great party pin its claims to posterty on Tue
Buncombe Benjamin resolutions? If so, let them be
engraven on brass and placed by the side Of the
Harmanson tablet. Does our neighbor, in his admirar
ton, feel like going into raptres over the effort TO
force the citizens of New Orleans to advertise IN the
columns of the immaculate Courier only2 Our ears
have been prcked wide open for the last week to hear
him descant on this subject.
Pray tell u.s. neighbor, what measure OF the party
deserves praise OF the Independent press ana we VIII
tune voice to come in with the chorus. 1t is here
asserted without any fear of contradiction that a
secret caucus held daily during the session, before
prayers, has ordered and arranged every movement
of the party-whether for the honor OF the people
and the glory of the State is question open for a
wide range of discussion.
That the dominant party in the Legislature have
done many things calculated to render them unpopu-
lar with the intelligent and rejecting masses, is
unquestionably true. But, il the remainder of the
session be employed industriously, prudently and
moderately if extreme be avoided, and con
Citation substituted for aggrayaon and the good Of
the whole State without any reference to geographic
cal lines be made the polar star of legislation, much
may be done to redeem the unwise and injurious
movements Of the past and present session. At any
rate such is our deliberate opinion as independent
journalists, and we throw it before the puslic for
what it is worth, hoping that it may not be wholly
without influence IN proper quarters. 1t is better, at
all times, to be WISE prudent and moderate, than to
be extreme, reckless and rash. All experience and
history verities the practical truth of this latter
proposition.
