The opponents of the extrava gancies, frauds and
corruptions of the socaled Democratic party in this
region were delighted to and hear their candidate
for Congress, while the ofice-holders, demagogues
and leaders of the ruling party were made to hide
their diminished heads in utter shame Col. Sparks
is the most effective stumper we have ever had on
Red river. In assailing the abuses of Government
he speaks by the book and produces other than
Democratic authority for all the charges he makes.
! Col Sparks attacks upon Buchanan and his man
| Walker for the Kansas cheat upon the South are
rresistible-they defy all attempt at refutation-
when he has shown, step by step, the manner in
| which the South has been fooled and swndled by
| the National Democracy through the agitation Of
the slavery question, from the day of the organza-
ton of the State of Michigan down to the last and
most infamous Kansas trick he turns with mastery
and whitening hand in exposing the robbing policy
Of Blue Grass Bob, and his National Democratic
| party of Louisiana. When he approaches the SUBJ
ject Of State extravaganza and wastetuness of the
| peoples money, it comes home to every man, and
the joint interest that is felt in it is shown by the
deep and earnest attention that is given to the speaker
| When he points to the enormous sums that have
been wasted upon Cat Island, and other swamp land
expenditures for partisan purposes, shudder of in
dignaton is seen to pervade the whole assenblage
like an electric shock. In every instance where Col.
s. has made a sneech he has received the warm
greetings and cordial congratulations from all parties
and halter than al, the nedpes of Democrats To vote
| for him

COL Sparks was to speak at Cheneyville In the
neighborhood there lives the wealthy family of the
Coxs in which there are some six or seven sons all
Democrats, These gentlemen have had all the on
portunities of beine educated that are within the
reach of the Youths of the country, and it is rea
sonable to suppose that their minds have been ber-
azed, and their judgments matured ana that there

under any and all circumstances so did the lead
