Where Tic Would stand.


date for Congress in this District,
tries hard to make some political
capital, and ease over the way for
some disafrected Republican votes to
come to him, by endeavoriDg to
show that he was loyal man du-
ria9ssthe war. 1t is true thai the
fact that, during the rebellion, he
lent few thousand dollars of other
mems money to the State of Iowa,
and received it back again with the
interest in a few months, don't show
very big for him in this way; but
admitting his loyalty to the Union
at that time-admitting him to have
been a thorough "War Democrat.
there are yet other things to be con-
sidercd.
The real "War Democrats" Of
ability and general intelligence
those who have sufficient grasp Of
mind to properly perceive the true
scope and tendency Of politics and
events-those who, in short, while
holding that position, had at the
same time sufficient Of those quail
ties to fit them for Congressional and
other important positions--long ago
left the bcl-loving Democratic or
ganization, and found their proper
political home in the Republican
party, the only party, indeed, that
could be a home for them.
But Mr.. Smith is not of this class.
Whether for lack of ability to per-
ceive the logical necessities of the
events of the last ten years, or from
lack of sufficient political inform
alton to enable him to perceive them,
or from worse and lower cause
than either of these, he still abides
in the Democratic party. His SYM
pathics are with his political nssocia-
tions. He cannot remain with the
Democratic party, and be supported
by its votes, and at the same time
favor the Republican policy. He
must be either fish, flesh or fowl, and
cannot be all together.
And there can be no doubt as to
what he would be. If elected to
Congress his vote would all the time
be with the rest Of the Democratic
vote in that body, counting just as
much on that side as the vote Of the
most rampant Copperhead in Con-
gress-serving precisely the same
purpose and having precisely the
same effect as though ne had him.
self beenall his life the most rebel
loving Copperhead in the country.
Let no Republican deceive himself
into voting for Mr.. Smith on the
ground that he was "War Demo-
crat." The whole effect Of such a
vote would be precisely the same as
though it were cast for any other
.Copperhead running in Smiths
place. In Congressional election
more than in any other, it is priici.
Piles that are voted for, and not men.
On State politics parties are less di-
yided. A President enforces the
laws, not makes them. But the
Congre essmen elected this year viii

Can't See the Point.

1t is an old saying that "there are
none SO blind as those whose who
won't see;" and probably that is the
reason why the Democrat manitests
such special and peculiar inability
to see that we have made any
"specific charges" against Mr.. Bous-
quet's official record as Clerk. Now,
we thought this matter had been
made plain enough for even the dull
est intellect; but nevertheless, for our
neighbours benefit, we will make a
summing up right here again, viz:
l. We charge ge tth that Mr.. BOusquet,
as Clerk Of Courts, has knowingly,
wilfully and persistently refused to
present to the Board Of Supervisors
such reports of fees, &C., as the law
most stringently requires Of him.
And this we proved by the record,
showing dates and references, past
all possibility Of contradiction.
2. We charge that, when Mr..
Bousquet finally did present what
ps'rported to bsf s1anh- -4hey
were very incomplete, partial and
unsatisfactory. And this we proved
by examination Of the said reports
themselves, showing their faults by
their own figures and by corrobora-
tive testimony,
3. We charge that he persistently
violated the express provisions Of
See. 4 Chapter Is Of the Acts Of the
9th General Assembly, in relation to
jury fees: lstly, in the he ne'cer
has made any report, as therein re-
quired; 2ndly, in that no never ,aitl
over any money to the Treasure {, as
therein required, until after we had
begun to publish the results OF our
Investigation Of his record; and 3dly,
in that he then paid over only so for
the whole term Of his Clork8hip.
A. We charge that he has Ia btu
ally violated those sections Of the
Code which pertain to the fees Cor
marriage licenses.
$. And finally, we charged that,
because Of these things, Mr.. Bous-
quet was not fit person to replace
in the responsible position he now
holds.
Now, all these charges pertain
solely to Mr.. Bousquet's official
record, and we proved and su stained
them all by the record, and by other
official documents accessible tc. every
body. IL there had been any. posi-
bilityof disputiDg them, either Mr..
Bousquet or his organ here would
have done so; but because there was
no such possibility, the Democrat has
lodged the points at issue, or Ignored
them entirely, and instead has just
pitched into Us, individually, with
all manner of opprobrious epi,hets.
No wonder:-there was no other
answer to be made.

Reason w liy.

Those who have read this paper
from the first, if they have noticed
in regard to the matter, will remem-
Der that In previous campaigns, we
have devoted less attention 10 nl1mn-
cratic County candidates than had
formerly been customary here. In
this campaign, however, we have
given considerable space to an inv yes-
tigation and showing up of the Off
cial record of the person whcm the
Democrats desire TO replace in the
and important Office Of
Clerk of Courts. We have done this
because the charges we had to bring
against. him We're true, ,far.d because
~essvvsgi,t the pccpf~sn.sht to know
them. If, after this. MIR. Bousquct
should be reelected, it would be no
flult OF ours. We have done our
duty. We hold most emphatically
that our present Clerk has shown
himself very seriously at fault, and
eftirely unworthy of the position for
which he ag'sin asks the peoples
vbte; and We have given our reasons
ftr it. The facts stated are f,We, and
tie conclusions from them correct.
The Democrat may malign us as
much as il pleases, but that don't
clAnge The record.

CLAYTON, WILLIAMS & co.


Avery healthy lesson has been taught
some of the New Orleans merchants and
bankers, which aptly illustrates the old
maxim that call is not gold that gilt
tiers" and exposes the folly of trusting
too much to appearances in individuals.
1t is very cOmmon-and a very nom
sensical-practice, with some people,
to install into their confidence, and
"take on" generally over strangers
of snowy exterior and a ready tongue,
who happen to come in their way and
enlist in their "set." Almost invaria-
bly, as it ought-with all charity and
civility for strangers-it happens that
this tender of confidence is betrayed, and
proof furnished, that, if the o,d be COM
mon-place and tiresome, it can be trust
ed, when the neW may not.
We seldom ever feel any sympathy
for fingers burnt by sensation adventu-
rers. A man should establish his claims
to esteem and intimacy, before they are
granted, and those who grant the favor
on mere show, must look to trust for pay.
The New Orleans victims referred to,
came to griefby trusting a fiash-and-dash
commercial firm lately started there un-
der the very euphonious title Of Clayton,
Williams & Co. This firm was posses
sed of some means and of considerable
dash. They opened a grocery establish
ment, drew checks and paid checks, and
appear to have formed several eligible
acquaintance. The grocery business
being slow, they resorted to drawing
checks and signing thereto the names
of other firms. The banks upon which
the checks were drawn, one excepted,
paid the checks, either in whole or
part,-it being very clear that Clayton,
Williams & Co. would do nothing i'm
proper. The forgery, however, came to
light in few hours; but mark the Sc
quel-Clayton, Williams & Co. had in
continently left the city!
Now, fifty planters, backed by regi-
ment of such editors as we, might 60 to
New Orleans, with twenty years of
honest dealing to prove them, and
they would not be given the opportu-
mites to betray confidence, afforded
Clayton, Williams & Co. upon an ac-
quaintance of few weeks and no iden-
tity, financially or individually, what
ever. They would be told, awe don't
know you, gentlemen, and money is
tight-ve,y tight! Every dollar we can
get is staked upon the commercial in
tegrity of our friends Clayton, Williams
4 Co., a dashing new house here, and
number of other equally strong houses.
We can't accommodate you; it's i'm
possible. Good evening, gentlemen"
We often ask ourself, What is the
use of banks? Clayton, Williams & Co.
appear not to have been puzzled to an
swer the query, from their standpoint.
