The editor of the Progress with his aceus'
toned disregard totruth, pretends in his last
paper to understand that we meant to threaten
him with ussusSindtiou. No one knows better
what our real meaning was, than the meIsuacious
slanderer who has constituted himsel; the censor
of the moral and political opinions of the people
Of st. Landry. The only danger OF bodily harm
that he has incurred III our opinion, is that his
scurrility and iinpIllence might have cost him a
coyGhiIiag, bat it seems that remembering the
source from which it comes no Que notices 1t
more than they would the barking Of any other
cur What we did mean this, which we
have from tn. most unidentified authority. that
he tthe editor alluded toy barely escaped by the
skin of his teeth sharing the honorable company
of his friend III the Guard tent of Co. ST sta
toned here ard further if he ever dares to utter
the same incendiary language in public address
es which he has been in the habit of doing and
denying, such check up is certainly in store
for him This is what We meant when we said
his power for further evil would most likely soon
be stopped for the future, and as for asSassina-
ton if he only fears it from those who look upon
him with loathing and contempt he may rest
easy. Southern gentlemen are not III the habit OF
hunting up skunks.

prestige and endorsement that cannot be over
come. And even should the destructionists still
triumph in those States in which office-holders
and the weight of heretofore unconquerable
majority give them SO great an advantage it Is
evident that reaction is going on i'll the public
sentiment in the North and West, which if it has
not yet reached its climax. will inevitably do so
before the next Presidential election, and sweep
before it the united influence of a corrupt Con-
gress and venal press. Such reactions as are
now going on are common things in our country,
although the causes which have produced and
the principles Involved in them were trivial and
nnimportant, compared to those which now agi-
tate the Union; and consequently it is rational
and logical to predict that the effect will be much
more lasting and effective, and when once pro-
duced, give for some time at least quiet to the
country, and peace and prosperity to the people
at large.

The Situation and our II Position.

The following is the concluding portion pf an
able editorial of our highly esteemed cotempora-
ry, the New Orleans Pieayuae, paper we have
constantly perused whenever it was possible
since its first establishment, and as constantly
admired for its conservative sentiments, always
ably and clearly expressed. The views and feel
ings of the "Picayune" are in meaning and nearly
in words the same we, and almost every other
conservative Editor in the State, have so often
expressed, views which we have an abiding faith
will yet be understood and adopted:
'Meanwhile we watch and wait We wish no
harm to the black man; we are the black mans
friend. We wish him civil rights and that he
may learn to perform his civil duties. IL we do
not rejoice over his emancipation, we would not
have his servitude restored, alike on our own
account and his. We wish him educated morally
and intellectually. We wish him to have indus-
try and skill and to receive the rewards of it
equally with the white man. We would protect
him as much. He is Southern man, and we
would have him feel and act as such, and be
prosperous as part and parcel of the South But
we are white men, and the Representatives OF
white men. We love our own race more than
any other, and cur land more than any other,
our own section more than any other, our own
State more than any other. We ask not to gov
ern or control others; but we do ask to govern
and control ourselves. Our own duty is first to
our own household. He that is not thus hath
denied the faith and is worse than an infidel'"

Native Americans of '63, who in the Republican
ranks were the srankest Abolitionists;, J., vo'e @
against it and may safely say that II ali men
woulI vote against it, it would receive but about
one.cighth Of the vote in its favor. If the ne
groes of the South could but understand the
motives of the men who so violently advocate
what is termed their rights, they would hesitate
long before they went blindly into any party or
measure. Although the Democratic party is not
in favor of negro suffrage, find many men IN ITS
fold who desire to see the eoiored mans conai-
ton bettercd by .judicious legislation, and the
elevation of the race by education but they are
spoken of by the Radicals as q balance Of power
which will keep them in office, do not find
that either party here understand the true con
diticn of the South, regarding either white or
black, and think it safe to say that neither par
ty care what becomes Of us, SO that they can get
into power; and our best policy seems to be to
keep clear of both. and when the time arrives
organize a national party OF our own, which will
hold the balance of power between these two.

THE CALLED JADE WINCEs-The progress
seems particularly sore Gu the subject of white
niggers or nigger whites, and We don't wonder
at its sensitiyeness. That it may see however
that the term is not confined to Southern use
alone, we copy the closing paragraph Of an edi-
t0r1al from the New York Citizen Ia paper of un-
impeacbable republieanisnl,I headed '.Let the
negro beware"
"A ST. Domingo is not what we fought for !;
se do not ara3st IL, and lgW not hare IL and that
the niggers, echether aehite or black, may under
stand as well first as last. Nations are cruel
when driven to despair; and, rather than sur-
render our white nationality, we viii massacre
or enslave every colored man in the States.
This may be bold language and unconventional
but we ask our readers whether it does not meet
the confirmation of their hearts! We have saeri-
feed too many whites for a principle to stop at
taking the lives of a few worthless blacks"

who occupied with credit and during many years
various offices of honor and profit.

vGiing with greater severity in the vicinity Of
that town.

A CARD.


Mr.. EDlToR My attention has been called
to the following paragraph in Inning editorial
of the st. Landry Progress:
''Tne second visitor was the town constable,
who having an alleged fine of So to collect from
the sick editor, tor an alleged violation of the
quarantine ordinance, has lowered, the whole
week, around his pretended debtors residence,
seeming to fear that sickness might carry his
twenty-five dollars away. SO We sometimes see
a good shepherd keep watch around poor lamb,
for fear that a wolf, by rayishing that prey,
would deprive him OF his chance to fleece in the
future the innocent creature"
The reputation of the Progress for mendaeity
is such that might well be spared the necessity
of noticing what it says of me: but as public
officer of the town, it may. not be improper
in me to expose falsehood even emanating,
as it does from SO contemplate source. The
editor knew when writing the above paragraph
that it was false. His natural disposition to lie
was SO great that he could not, while speaking
of the town or any OF its officers, refrain from
using his filthy weapons of falsehood and cal
umny. Where the editor is not known his SLAM
ders might obtain some credence, and therefore
ought to be noticed; but here he has been throw
ing his ordure in the air SO persistently, every
one knows that his filthy missiles fall upon no
object more loathsome than himself.
As an officer of the town, and under its police
and quarantine regulations, made a visit to the
house of the colored woman with whom the edi-
tor was boarding, to acquaint myself as to the
sanitary condition of the establishment, both in
regard to black and white. On the invitation OF
the attending physician, | entered the room Of
the editor, with all the decorum due to the occa-
sion. found him petulant and irascible; and
he commenced to whine about some municipal
fine against him, and Immediately told him, in
presence of his physician and another gentleman
In attendance, that my visit had no relation ut
all to this matter, and soon afterwards left.
/ will only add that as | am responsible to the
corporation for my acts as an officer, am no less
personally accountable to the editor or any other
slanderer whose falsehoods may be compelled,
as in the present case, to denounce.

ncial Journal OF the Town of opelousas

AT LAST! THANK HEAVEN, AT LAsr!-As We
expected and expressed in another article, we
have received news of the Northern elections,
and such news as sends such thrill of exulta-
ton and hope through our frame as has not
tinsled there for many long day.
Last Thursday mail brought us the glorious
news that the Democrats and Conservatives
have carried the State of Pennsylvania in the
elections of the Sth inst. Ohio, too, as far as
Heard from, seems to have gone Democratic.
These cheering news viii no doubt be confirm
cd, enhanced and improved by the next mail.
