AUDITORS OFFToT
New Orleans, August 9, 1853
So many complaints having been made to N
office of injustice done to taxpayers BY State Asa
sors in different parishes. hereby notify all 81
Tax Assessors that the law requires them to moi
taxpayers as follows:
The Assessors and Board of Assessors shall NJ
mediately give notice by advertisements. posad !
at least two public places in each parish or dst5a
that they have lodged their assessment roll with n
Recorder, Justice of the Peace, or Parish Recorder
as the case may be, in order that any person ~
grieved by such assessment may appeal and have M
same corrected il found incorrect" (See Revise
Statutes of 1855, 1855. p. 487. 3s)
also notify all taxpayers that the law makes fuI
provisions for the correction of all errors Of Asse
sors as follows:
Section 81. Any person conceiving himself A.
grieved BY any assessment, may, within thirty al

And beside this he has had his comforta'

poultry, vegetables, and fruit, and has
five thousand bundles of fodder" saved
and stacked.
But, alas, he is not a Democrat, and
Messrs. Macon, Austin, Bacon & Co., of the
Democratic State Committee, are going to
withhold from him their "eountenance" and
are going to "thwart" his efforts to main

Perhaps Macon, Austin, Bacon & Co. will
prevent the sun from shining on his little
farm and the rains of Heaven from de-
scending thereon. Perhaps, at their COM
mand, the soil of Louisiana will cease to
laugh with harvests when he tickles it with
a hoe. Perhaps, at their mandate, the
freedmen will cease to work for friend
who pays them sure wages and, better yet,
respects their toiling manhood. every

circular 1t is too notable to be hid under
a bushel:
Circular.
DEAR SIR: s
And we would earnestly declare to our fell
low-cltizens our opinion, that even the most
implacable and fll.disposed of the negro
population, those who show the worst spirit
towards the white people, are not half so
much deserving our aversion and non-inter.
course with them, as the debased whites
who encourage and aid them, and who be-
come through their votes the otfice.holding
opDressors of the people.
Whatever of resentment you have should
be felt towards the latter, and not against
the Colored men. But in no case should
you permit this resentment to go farther
than to withdraw from them all counte.
nance, association, and patronage, and to
thwart every effort they may make to main.
tain business and social foothold among
you. TH0S. L. MACON,

Our friend with his sixty acres is also a
carpet-bagger. He has had the insolence
to come hither from another State, with
the absurd notion that Louisiana was
part of Uncle Sans farm, and that any
American citizen would be welcome here.
On the evening of Saturday last he went
to see the long line of "Grantis paroled
prisoners" called the ,''great Democratic
procession" in New Orleans, and he saw
two transparencies in the column which
had a cheerful look. One was;
"FORTY THOUSAND CoFFlNs FOR CARPET
BAGGERs."
And the other was:
"YELLow FEVER AND CARPEr-BAGGERs
DON'T AGREE"
And he'thought to himself that the paroled
prisoners were an enlightened race, and
would build up the material prosperity
# Louisiana in a hurry. every like"

He has had no overseer; at times when
