New Orleans Market article. Have
not the heart to publish it. What we
of Rapides have and raise for sale has
gone down in price to mere song
whilst what we need is going up out OF
sight. Pork and corn and meal, the
essentials now needed are awfuliy and
unprecedently high. The H cd G e
brought no corn here, on Monday. 1t
was selling in the City at SLIGO per
bushel and very scarce at that; corn
meal $500 per barrel and going up.
Will our people now learn lesson
from sad experience and plant more
corn and less cotton. 1t is pitiable
and humiliating sight to behold corn
continually brought here by every
boat.

Times, calls the DEMOCRAT an Gun
scrupulous party paper" The DEMO
Graf has been Democratic party pa
per for nearly twenty-six years, and
it is undoubtedly true that, within the
whole of that period it has not abated
one scruple of its sound Democracy.
It has never within that period sup
ported an anti-Democrat for office no
matter in how insidious a garb the OF
fee seeker has approached it. 1t has
never within that period offered, pub
licly and unblushingly to, sell out the
party to set of robbers who happened
to squat on the territory of Louisiana
for their own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and for the impoverishment of the ma
tives of the soil. Nor has any Editor
of this paper, even though he happened
to be the "oldest in the State" written
sound Democratic articles for its col
umns and then answered them in the
columns of an opposition paper. II
the Times only had few scruples in its
stupidity and dishonesty the people
would have fewer complaints to lodge
against it.

posed. Even supposing that his
splendid effort to protect the wo-
men of Louisiana from insult is not
opocryphal, the people of Louis

ertions in that line ended with the
suppression OF the National Adv0-

I notice a report of what purports to be q
speech delivered by me, which is in every
respect false and untrue. The author Is a
sneak. and Of no principle. IF 1 cannot ex-
press myself as well as some, / am too much
Of a gentleman to wiifully and maliciOusly
slander my ~neighbor by a direct lie. If its
author hates me because / am n Republican,
all / have 10 SAY is that Republicans general
" have to push every enterprise before DEM
Ocrats will take hold Of it; and was doing
this to the best OF my ability.
If I owe the Editor who published IL any
thing, let him bring in his bill; for the publi-
cation of such a~Sneaking article makes him
as bad as its author. I hope that Germans
generally will hereafter know who arc their
friends-the late rebels in gray, or the boys
in blue. Yours, w. GRANT.
