The AFRICAN APR iENTIcE EILL-.We had
hoped to no longer annoy our readers with
mined, but an article upon this villainogs
scheme we find in the columns Of the Felici-
ana Democrat Of the LIST inst, comneis us once
more to allude to il It would be as well
here to remark, that the Democrat belongs to
that ~party-an of-shoot Of the Democracy,
known as the Southern Rights party, and
warmly advocates all sentiments supposed
to be contained in the platform Of principles
Of that party, ore OF which is the AFRICAN
Apprentice Bill.n The sage Or. DELoNy,
Senator from that parish, is supposed to ex-
ercise an all controlling Influence over the ;
columns Of that paper, for the purpose OF lav-
ing a mouth piece by which his efforts in be- |
half OF the South may be blown trumpet
to the void. -" |
In the article alluded to, occurs the follow
