A QUESTION.

II is eminently desirable that the ap
preaching election in November should
end the contest between existing parties
1t is no longer a struggle for principles
upon one side, but for political preferment
alone. The Democratic party has been
arrayed against the Republican party upon
issues, every one of which it has surrender
ed-practically renounced, The extension
Of slavery it advOcated; ihs destruction of
slavery it opposed; nowitreeognizes aboli-
ton as an accomplished fact. The right
ofsecession it claimed but no longer defends
Internal improvements by national aid it
secuted, but now knocks at the halls ofCon-
gress with petitions for assistance to rebuild
ievees destroyed through its own neglect
to engage in reasonable war. What sin
gle principle has the party LEFT? Upon
questions of finance Its leaders as often
agree with Republicans with one and
another. While Pendleton would practical
" repudiate the national debt by payment
Of the securities in currency, Seymour has
openly declared for the gold basis.
The Congressional policy ofreconstruc-
ton was logical sequence from the victory
Of that party which fought the battles Of
the Union. The Democratic party
opposes reconstruction, and that is made
the issue in this campaign, simply because
it involves the question Of the political
ascandeney Of those who sustained the
Government, or Of themselves who sought
its destruction. Every principle involved
was staked upon the war and lost to them.
If the Democratic party is totally de-
leated and routed this fall, and such, we
doubt not, viii be the result, then will the
war for the Union have finally terminated.
The organization Of both parties will
change Men wko have been opposed
upon the battlefield will affiliate upon
new issues, aad an age q peace and good
viii win dawn upon the lind.
We ask the sanEs 81 he Democratic
party IN Louisiana 70 pause one moment
and consider carefully and dlspasslonagely
Z question which ue propose 70 ak; Would

PoNcHAToUL4, October l, 1868.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
notice in your issue of the twenty-sixtl
ultimo communication from this place
signed Medic" which is throughout bast
fabrication, and for the benefit of this com.
munity requires correcting.
The excitement referred to by him is
read with astonishment here, no one here
being aware of any such occurrence as he
relates. That a colored club is organized
here is a well known fact, but that thew
or any other colored men, have assaulted
or beaten any white men is an untruth, and
as for any one having been arrested and
detained at the depot or elsewhere, as
stated, is bareiaced falsehood, as MEDIC
is the magistrate, and no one could be COM
mitted without his knowledge
Mr.. Bradford used violent and unbe-
coming language toward me without the
slightest provocation, but when it is stated
that he was under the influence of LIQUOR
at the time, the act is shorn of all signif-
canoe and was only mentioned in narrative
not as any complaint made to an officer.
Concerning the drilling in the depot
building that assertion is simply an alb
surdiiy and no one hereabouts would
thi1ac of such thing. The railroad agent is
an accommodating man, but is too well &C.
quainted with his business to permit any
thing of the kind by any political or other
party. The drum and children story is a
myth, as l have been about the town and
near the depot for the last several months,
in fact all summer, and such an IN
usual occurrence as the beating OF a
drum in such quiet little country town
as this, more especially at night, could not
possibly have failed to have attracted my
attention. The whole story originated III
2 Medlos'" fertile brain, unaided by any
circumstance. In conclusion, as this is not
the first time that this same gentleman, IN
der different signatures, has fnisrepresentea
this eommunityin the Republican prints in
the South, and the Domocraticprints atthe
North, | would warn the public to take any
of his letters with many grains of allow
ance in the future. As a. talsehood has been
published, inadvertently perhaps, please
do us the justice to give this place also.
Yours, very respectfully. III

The editor of the Times, who is under
stood to be a student of Junius, has found
in the letters Of that great unknown saying
that "no person is entitled to political
right till he has learned how to use it: no
man is qualified for trust till he knows
how to fulfill it,
We presume that the application of this
maxim is intended to prove that the Re-
publican party is seeking to subvert the
liberties of the American people by extend
ing suffrage to the ignorant and degraded
negro"
1--WE ask the Times man to read from
Junius with us: Let it be impressed upon
your minds, let it be instilled into your
children, that the liberty of the press is the
palladium of all the civil, political, and
religious rights of the Englishnan.7
A Democratic mob destroyed the Pro
gress office the other day, and murdered
one of the editors Of that paper.
