believe the public will bear us out in the assertion
that when we have anything to say, on any given
subject, we use language altogether unmistakable-
GOOD cause only needs to be treated in straight
forward manner, and bad cause cannot be made 70
aonare with the principles OF right and justice no
matter If every effort Of human ingenuity, skill and
ability is lavished upon the effort.
RE west Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, of the 27th
inst. extracts the annexed paragraph from city
contemporary. The introduction belongs to a near
neiehbor the quoted portion to the Crescent and it
reads as follows

mistake under which they labor. recent act, blister

by Governor Banks would effect that highly desira-
BILE endn
Upon the foregoing, which Is taken from an article
Of considerable length, the Sugar Planter comments
in the suhjoined detachable strain:
The Crescent, in its horror Of abolition sentiment,
10 the State of Massachusetts enough fanatcism
TO break up this confederacy. Because 5ov. Banks
feels disposed to violate the federal compact, and
makes himself ridiculous thereby, the whole South

Crescent while surveying the political horizon with
its disunion telescope should endeavor 70 fix is focus

where there Is abolition feeling in order to satisfy
himself that all men not abolitionsts because

There is about as much ignorance and misrepresens
alton in the above paragraph as we have ever seen
comprised within the same compass. Both are about
equally mingled, and the composition is, therefore,
about as strong as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The first sentence misrepressnts- not
to use harsher term-the position OF the Crescent
We do not see in the State of Massachusetts enough
fanaticism to break up this confoderaey,p and we
have never said that we dd--have never thrown out
the smallest ntmation of the sort. Consequently, the
insnuation OF the Sugar Planter is as gratutous as
it is unfounded. We alluded 70 the course Of
Gov. Banks 10 any manner, shape or form, that would
lead an intelligent or honest reader to infer that
we wished any portion Of the Southern people to mi
tate his corrupt and abominable example, set forth
! III the case oil the removal OF Judge Loring. But
Gov Banks had little to do with the renewal Of this
upright magistrate. By himself he could have done
nothing sand when he eonsummated the removal,
he only acted as the agent OF two-thirds Of the
befs of both branches OF the Legislature, who had
previously passed resolutions addressing the Judge
out Of office. The act, then, was the act OF vast
majority Of the people Of Massachusetts,, through
their representatives and not the act of the Governor
Furthermore we did not put that State its Chief
Executive forward save examples and Illustrations
OF the malign state OF feeling towards the South
which pervades every commonwealth north OF Mason
and Dxon's line We did not single Massachusetts,
out by itself. Nothing Of the kind was done by u.s.

have known before he essayed to place us in false
position before the world II abolition fanaticism

the Constitution. would be safe, and the permanence
Of the present National Union would be secured
beyond peradventure Bat unfortunately, the whole
six New England States are just as fanatic as Massa

North search elsewhere almost in vain for oasis
Of that constitutional patriotism which animated the
people Of that section in the earlier and better days
Of the Republic The prospect Is nnpromisng and
gloomy, and all the indications are that things will
progress from bad to worse until the final catastrophe
is precipitated
The Sugar Planter speaks of the Crescent as sur
veying the political horizon with its daunion tele-
scope.n The idea conveyed in this sentence we
utterly repudiate. It makes US what we are not 1t
canses us to occupy an attitude we have never as
suned. We are not disnnionsts and never have

ventas long as the constitutional rights Of our sec

respected by the majority section Of the North. We
ask nothing more than what the Constitution and
laws rightfully entite to, and we will never be
contented with less. Bot as has been the case for

to the dominion Of Northern fanaticism and Seward
and all the principal Abolition leaders triumphantly
proclaim that they will have us in that degraded
condition before the lapse Of many years-then we
are Southern from the crown of our head to the
soles Of feet and do not think it incumbent upon
us to be particularly scrnpnlous in our fetaty to a
Constitution which is always broken by enemies

A majority Of the Northern States are now ruled

Has our contemporary even thought of this pregnant
