The Louisiana State Register. q Radical
paper. and a good one,-if there be any Of
them good,-has lately published On editorial
teuding to prove that Judge o. Hunsakcr, IN
st. James Parish,-if not Of it,-may have
been a Confederate soldier aud also be q
true aud faithful Republican.

But. as a matter Of morals, We cannot
accept the radical axioms Of the Register.
Those pretended axioms arc simply illogical,
dishonest, contrary to what justice and probi.

pants to wear. from whom, if you please,
