A RATHER STRONG OPINION.

The political quarreIs ia this city are attracting
very general notice in the interior. The following IL
from the Thibodaux Gazette Of the 14th instant:
DxNoCRATIc JARs-The family jars with the good
old Democracy Of Louisiana are becoming intensely
alarming. Heretofore King John was looked upon
tamilias Of the glorious unwashed, and indeed 30
much 90, that bis dictum was 40 absolute as law it
SELF He was also venerated the rurseY par ezcei
.snes 81 ne ne great Democratic srmy-the sole dig.
that is to say the faithful according to his interpre
taton Of the word, which, according to modern Dem
ocracy, consists in meek and humble subseryiency
TO the "time honored usages'' Of that party.
When King John ascended the Democratic throne,
1t was m0oed at the time that the means adopted by
him to attain power were not scrupuIousIy on the
square but on the contrary he stands accused Of
tain Jerrymandering, artfol workings Of the political
adage Of old Davy Crockett is correct after all-tthat
politicians gamblers and the people are the cards
they play with" And again has not King John pre-
cedents by which to justify these suspicious and to
fraud, ETC., ETC., etc, answer.
It appears that this great monarch of the Louisiana
Democracy is allpowerful with his Subjects ruling
them with rod OF iron Being the great dispenser
of the Democratic household have been promoted to
the exclusion Of others equally worthy, but whose
crimes consisted in being little Independent and
selfwilled-pardon us, we should have said obstrep
| erous.
Be this it may, things nevertheless have pursued
the tenor of their way, yet it has become per
ceptible that the slighted party in the Democratic
household are chatting under this wanton neglect on
the part of their lege lord and despite the soothing
strains of that good old tune time honored usages
Of the Democratic party admirably executed on
the harp Of thousand strings, which is wont to ul
the rsbeous spirit Of refractory politicians never,
Of the macontents for at New Orleans the 5th Of
April last, meeting was held by the disaected sub
ects Of King John for the ostensbls purpose Of over
M
that evening aconvocaton OF the faithful honest and
true democracy, and the stentorian tones in which
they spoke portends a reform in political morals
Soules eloquent voice was raised in defence of pop
ular principles. Resolutions denunciatory Of th,
foreign policy of the Administration were passed. 1t
departure from the true line Of Democratic prin
ciples in advocating protective tariff was dscounte
nanced as anti-democratic. An evident intention
regenerating reorganizing and remoleling the part
its former honest and liberal principles, pervade
J the whole mass there assembled.
J The Slidellian wing of the Democracy demurs I
such proceedings and forewarns (under the penalt
OF excommunication) all good and true Democrat
(the time honored usage Democrats) to discountel
. ance ond repudiate the action of these malcontent
s They contend that these resolutions were sprun
upon the meeting when they least expected it-th
they were taken entirely by surprise, the object

object only, appertaining to the organization Of Il
n Democratic party in the city of New Orleans.
e elimination and recrimination is now the order
the day between the two factions of the Democracy
:. The liberal or anti.Slidell wing of the Democra
~ having full faith and in the justice al
d honesty of their ntentions-and with an al-abdil
e confidence that il successful they will reinstate
% Democracy in its primitive purity, and build for it
strong platform. to be erected out of sonnd hone
q timber, entirely free from sap or corruption. ha
IS consequently intimated that the different polite
IS parties opposed heretofore to Democracy, far fro
being repulsed, will be accepted by them with op
7" arms.
n As an outsider we have nothing to do in this Z
y kenny war for the present.
