Explanation.

The editor of the Ouachita Monroe, La
Register alludes to us discourteously, and we
presume under a Misrepresentation. The article
of ours ut which he seems to have taken UNI
bragg, was not intended in any respect to be
offensive, and we can only regret that what was
designed as q piece Of pleasantly should have
been misconstrued. On reviewing our remarks
we perceive the liability of their being msun-
dcrstood and hence this explanation. We de-
sire to deal courteously and to cultivate kindly
relations with all our cotemporaries.- Marshall
(7aas) Republican. +-N fE
Col. Loughery is informed that hiaexplan
alton in entirely satisfactory. We only regret
any misunderstanding. ISL ''!

rs If the abuscrs and vilifers Of Senator
Slidell were all huddled together and brought
about in one spot, there could not be found
within the palcs of civilization set of more
detestable and office-craving demagogues.
These miserable wrctches are never at ease un-
less they can find some new theme of abuse to
be hurled at the head of Slidell or his friends.
Truth has no quarters with these currupt and
falsifying dcmagogues. The Point Coupee
Echo is now displaying its ignorance, and utter
disregard for truth in attempting to calumniate
Mr.. Sldell. Besides the Echo there are few
other parasites who reflect back the same sound
echoed from the mud holes of misery.-Bossie,
Banner.

inconsistency.

The Douglasites are vociferous about the in
consistency of their political opponents. Did
It ever occur to these immaculate gentlemen
that the question might be asked, how the same
persons could vote for and sustain the dcclara-
ton Of principles made by our late State Con-
vention, and, q few weeks afterwards, accept and
approve tho MINORITY PLATFORM" at Charles
ton ?-how gentlemen could accept the Reso-
-lutions Of Louisiana and then turn round and
receive "SoyArrER SOVEREIGNTY" platform
and "SouArrER SOVEREIGNTY candidate :?
Yet we know such gentlcmen--many of them
who, notwithstanding, talk Of inconsistency |!
Do they really understand these things? Are
they aware that our Slate Resolutions which
they voted for and sustain, take the highest
Southern view, while the 'Minority Platform
and its friends repudiale this re,v ultogether' And
yet these gentlemen approve and accept both !
o Consistency, thou art a jewel!

PRosrEcr OF DOUGLASS Things work very
ugly for Douglas. A Washington dispatch
says: "Various speculations are of course In
dulged in as to the probable effect of the ad-
journment Of the Convention to Baltimore but
the mass Of opinion is, that the adjournment,
though carried mainly by the friends of Douglas
to save him from immediate defeat, has only
put of the evil day, and that the Convention
on re-assembling-if it does re-assemble, of
which some serious doubts are expressed-will
in no event make nomination so entirely dis.
tasteful to large portion of the democratic
party. The friends of the Little Giant, though
they talk large are evidently very much under
the weather and look decidedly blue, especially
those who staked their small changs on his
nomination at Charlestca."-- N~rrh,s En-.
The register. (Monroe, La.) 185?-1861, 1860-05-24
What does 1t Portend i?

The New York Daily News Of the 9TH inst,
has long and significant editorial, from which
we clip the opening paragraph-It certainly is
rather suspicious: r.u7 -.- .. ..I..-
The Tribune comes out in strong force for
the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, and attempts to
sustain the course taken by some of his sup
posed friends in the Charleston Convention,
asserting that the resolutions which they pre-
scented were sufficient to satisfy any reasonable
man. II further says that the delegates from
the free States had framed aud presented to the
Convention their platform as substantial CON
cession to the South, withholding so much over
and above all that has hitherto been conceded
at Baltimore and Cincinnati to be re.
ceived with satisfaction, if not With gratitude.
This looks suspicious.
