CT What we need to unite us Is an open foe. The enemy is in ambush or in our midst as spies and traitors. Democrats who are true to themselves and to their country will vote for the nominees of their party, despite the whining or coaxjns of disorganizers. AL thongh we have no apparent opposition in many places it is because our oppoaents are sailing under false coors. They count upoa the apathy, the supineness of the dem icracy, upon thoir skill to blind the people to tue true issues, and like burglars who hold choroform to the sleeper's nose and then rob him, 50 they attempt to set democrats to sleep by proclGrainc that no principles are involved; that they do no, intend to oppose us, and while ws are lulled into security they will attempt to steal our rights.
 Let us not sleep, but bear always in mind the democratic motto, that The price of liberty is eternal vlgjlauce.''

Col. Rust and Gen. Walker.

In another column will be found defense of Col Rust's views on the "Walker question:" quoting Walkers letter in which he proposes, by the assistance of England. to establish a military despotism in Central America, for the avowed purpose of cutting the expanding and expansive democracy of the United States It IS but justice to Col. Rust to state that hen he wrote his circular he had this letter of Gen. Walker before him, and did not refer to it, be- cause he thought every body had seen and read it. He desired simply to make known his views on all questions in as few words as pos sbIe After reading Walkers infamous pro- posal to betray the United States by selling out to England, 1t was natural and proper that Col. Rust should denounce Walker in unmeasurcd terms. All he said Was warranted by the re- cord, and will be approved by the people, Col. Rust lodges no issue and shrinks from no responsibility.

 Of Capt. McCreery it is needless to say any thing. lie is d thorough-g going democrat, and if elected would do honor in our Senate to any constituency in the State.

Rich Developments in New Orleans.

The inauguration of Gerard Stith as mayor of New Orleans took place in that city on the 21st ult, at which some startling events oc- cured N
 Itappears that Benjamin Harrison was can- didate for mayor but in order to defeat Major Beauregard, the citizens candidate, Harrison withdrew upon the condition that Stith, if elect- ed, would appoint Lucien Adams, who IS the the brother-in-law of Harrison, to the post of chief of police. This agreement was made in writ ing. copy of which will be seen below. Alter being sworn, Stith announced some appoint ments, but instead of Lucen Adams he appoint ed Thomas Adams, one of the house of Green wood & Co.,, as chief of police. Thereupon Mir. Toledano, one of the witnesses to the com pact was addressed by Stith in relation to some appointment Stith wished to confer upon him, who declined accepting any appointment from such man, applying to Sdth such epithets as the newspapers refrained from repeating. Next, Mir. Lucen Adams came forward and was about to read the pledge Stith had made when tn e mayor appealed to the citizens to protect him. Mir. Adams assured him that he did not intend to iniure him, and read the document to the crowd The following is the card of Mir. Adams:

A. Fl Ferguson,s Democratic Votes.

It is a very common error with men to claim too many virtues for their friends. The Napo- leon Planter attempts too much for its candl- date, Col. Ferguson. It says:
 "Col Ferguson has never cast any other than democratic votes during political career of twentv-six years"
 A baser fabrication was never uttered We have known Col. Ferguson but few years and during that short period he has given not less than dozen votes against the democratic par tv. He was elected to the legislature in 1854 as democrat, and during the session of 1854 and 5, he joined the know nothings, and voted for all of their candidates against the demo- cratic candidates He voted for Dr. Huey for auditor, who was and still is a know nothing. He voted for Judge English, know nothing, for chief justice of the State. He voted for three know nothing swamp land commissioners, and five state land agents. He voted for a know nothing land attorney and state collector, and a know nothing financial receiver of the State Bank.
 We have not known Col. Ferguson twenty six years. and we hardly think the Planter has known him as long as we have. If 1t has, 1t has uttered willful falsehood, in saying that Col. Ferguson in twenty-six years, never cast any but democratic votes. In the last five years he has cast at least q dozen to our know ledoe

MEASURING CORN IN sBULK.--Al correspon- dent of the Prairie Farmer gives rule for as- certaining the number of bushels of shelied corn in a crib of ears. by multiplying the cubic feet in the pile by four and half.s Example,: In a crib or bin ofeorn in the eary measuring ten feet in length, eight feet high and seven feet wide, there will be 252 bushels of shelled corn. Thus l0x8, 7x41a=2529. This rule agrees with weighing corn---seventy pounds to the bushel in the ear. Assuming this rule to be correct, it will be very important to keep it where it can be readily raferred to at times when nit-will be found very useful

----+s>-szs-~s+-------- A Word to Catholics and Foreigners.

It has been openly asserted upon the streets of this city that the caribow candidates would receive the votes of a number of naturaliZed citizens and Catholics. It may be that among you there are men who when slnitten upon one cheek will turn the other but in view of the abuse so long poured upon you, the fierce and proscriptive opposition of these men to you and your religion, it does not seem reasonable that they would now receive your support To this day they cannot conceal their hatred, though trying to wheedle you out of your votes, and when two or three of them get together, their conversation will be nterlarded with such phrases as the low Dutch, and the damned Irish"
 Everything goes to show that they will make an effort to exclude the vote of every foreigner who presents himself at the poll, unless he IS well known as voter. We therefore caution ur'frends who have the proofs of their cti- zenshp at hand to not suffer themselves to be choused or intimdated out of their right to vote. No doubt, also they will try to frighten some from the polls, but we hope that none will suffer themselves to De intimdaled by any threats or in auy way deterred from doing that which is, at the same time d right and duty.
