The .onwn,phy !, Again Denounced.

The Clinton Cast Feliciana) Democrat, Of the
Gath inst, thus ercely attacks the "Slidell oil
garchy'' Guide Ibervlle Gazette) of New Orleans.
The remarks of the Democrat, we respectfully sug-
gest, are worthy the consideration Of independent
Democrats in this city. Here they are
The LAST WEEK OF THE CANyAss.-Our Demo-
cratic friends will bear in mind that there remains
but one week of the canvass; will they not take q
portion of that time from their usual avoeations and
devote it to seeing their neighbors and their friends,
pressing upon them the necessity and importance Of
their being energetic and industrious in placing be-
fore every voter the reasons and the facts why Mr..
Sigur should be preferred to both of his opponents
This election is one of no ordinary moment. Upon
it depends the question whether bold and unscru-
pulous men shall rule and direct the masses for their
own political aggrandizement Whether trickery and
cunning shall assume the place Of honesty and prin-
cple. Whether their political rights and privileges
shall be made a subject of barter and exchange.
Whether they shall have voice in the selection OF
candidates for office, or be forced like menals to bow
to the choice and dictation of unprncipled political
wireworkers and tricksters. There can be but one
reply to this. No, we have too long been imposed
upon by this class of men, who devoid of political
honesty themselves, would inculcate the same laxity
of political morals into the hearts of the people, We
vii! think and act for ourselves, and, by free and
unbiased suffrage, show our condemnation of them
and our acts. Such will be their response spoken at
the ballot-box on the first Monday in November, in
tones too loud and in numbers great to be msun
derstood
Hear, Democrats of New Orleans, the words of one
of your country brethren. He speaks plainy AMI tc
the point. There is no ambiguity in his language
there is no installing his meaning. He wishes tc
reform the corruptions in his own party-he points
to the prime of those corruptions- and calls
upon his fellow.Democrats of the Third District te
aid him. Will you not lend a helping hand in the
work of regeneration2 Will you, either by voice Oh
VOTE countenance the continuance in power of an
olgarchy" thus opprobrously stigmatized? Will
you friends of the gifted and eloquent Soule consent
to retain in authority those who have ever
and ostracsed you? Will you advocates of Southern
Rights in all their original purity and ygor support
an " ogarchy' which sanctions the sale OF Kansas
to the Freesoers through the vile agency of Robert
J. Walker, and makes the safety. rights, honor and
interests of the South secondary and subordinate tc
the momentary triumph Of an inscriptions faction
We put these questions in all seriousness Al
Southern Rights men, in the most exalted sense Of
the term-as friends of reform--as advocates Of the
purity of the elective franchise--we desire they
should be seriously answered.
The Democratic opponents of the "oligarchy'
and Southern Rights men of New Orleans can easily
accomplish their objects if they wish to, and are
honest in their professions. There is one sure way
and only It is so obvious, plain and palpable
that we shall not now indicate it.
