For the Democrat
The Slidell ORGANIZATION.

Under the above head, a communica
ton, signed "Old jackson Democrat:
appeared in the Echo of last week. l
evidently enanated from the pen of
disappointed candidate Of the New Line
who, blind with rage at the recent de
feat Of his faction, in this Senatoria
District, is unable to perceive the utter
a~bsnrdity of the charges which he pre-
fers against the Old Liners. From the
fact Of seeing his w pretcntions i'm
recognized, he may probably, in his
phrensy, believe as he says, "That there
is a distinct and separate organization
inside the Democratic party Of this State,
perfect in all its arrangements and ap-
pliances, and cooperating separately
and apart, but privately and secretly,
from the general Democracy, for the po-
@litical purposes, advancement and inter
ests of those who compose it, there is
now scarcely a doubt" He then goes
on to develop the whole plan of opera
ton of this secret society, with John
Siibell its autocrat and dictator at it's
head" with a minuteness of detail which
to all intelligent readers is really anu
sing, knowing that it all proceeds from
the seething brain of a disordered i'm
.agination.
The whole letter is below criticism
in style, logic, and grammar; and 1
would not notice it all, unsupported as
are the ridiculous charges it contains,
by even a shadow of proef, were it not
to repel with Indignation the imputa-
ton, that we of the Old Line in Pointe
coupee are under the dictatorship of
my man or set on men. To say that
Slidell could dictate to the men who
cad in our ranks, is so absurd that the
writer must know it to be untrue, unless
le is really demented. We have a plat
orlh Of principles by which we are gov
rned, and we follow no man any longer
han he "toes the line" I am sorry to
ay that too many, in cutting capers on
his platform, have fallen into a pit
vhere they will never be heard of again. ,

THERE is q lull in politics. SO far as

THERE is q lull in politics, SO far az
this parish is concerned, since the fail
ure of the New Liners to get up even
show Of opposition to Mr.. Phillips. I,
is well, however, to keep our eyes, fol-
some time longer, on those seceders,
though they continue to speak Of til
party, as If they still belonged to it, and
Affect establishment when told that they
have neither part nor lot in the matter.
Their whole plan of operations, although
sufficiently transparent, was well calcu.
lated to effect a temporary triumph.
But they showed their hand too soon,
when they began to speak of the State
Rights, Southern Rights, and other isms,
which they wished to embody in the old
Democratic creed. Language was given
to man, says Talleyrand, to conceal bis
thoughts. Acting on this maxim, and
warned Dy the late failure OF IL. N. par
~, they disingenuously profaned the
name Of Democrats, for the purposes Of
their plan, and deny the light Of day, il
disavowing their separate organization.
This method Of deceiving the masses is
as old as history and language; but in
this age and country it seldom succeeds.
the present instance, it has been a
failure. The gentlemen of the
opposition may call themselves Demo
rats until they are hoarse with shout
rs. II the face Of facts, and OF their
ate conduct, the true Democracy viii
