stone State, and how it was echoed by
the Democratic press all over the land.
They remember, too, how, when he found
his favorite chieftain unfaithful to bis
trust, instead Of showing himself 'tthe
tool of official power and partyism, he
stood by his principles and denounced the
policy which hurled the Democracy from
power. Perhaps there are those who
know that all efforts then made to buy
him, all offers Of place by those who then
had patronage to dispense were indis-
nantly rejected, and those who made the
offers were given very significantly to
know that there was no place in the gait
of the President that could buy his Sd
lenee.
1t strikes US these incidents in his his
tory 90 not precisely square with his
character as painted by the Times, and
We hayen slight impression that prejHl-
dice may have hsd something to do with
this latter picture. 1t does sometimes

4E EXPERIENCE,

Concerning Kentucky, it will be adj
mitted that her politics has been Of the
most orthodox Democratic character,
even to that degree of purity that our
own Zaeharie, MeCnleb or Brice might
indorse without amending it, except
in the matter of hyperbole. Kentucky
statesmen gre little stiff and Addisonian
in their literature, having been nurtured
into that CorinthiaN style by the Mill Boy
of the Slasbes; and in this they differ
from the ferEid Jefferson Bricks of Louis
lana, as the stately oe1 of the Blue Grass
region varies from the 6owerY alanthus of
our own tropical soil. But style has
nothing to do with the matter in hand.
Kentucky being so chemically Demo-
cratic, and Democracy being SO chron-
ically loud-mouthed in favor of peace, it
might be supposed that the lamb and the
lion were roaming about in Kentucky with
a sort of millennial fraternity.
But this is not so. Eighty thousand
majority has not suficed to establish the
reign of concord and sweet sounds. At
least Governor Stevenson says so, and the
Louisville Coprier-Journal which is un-
usually abusive of Louisiana discomforts
in the way of disturbances, indorses the
Governors allegations as correct and
true. According to these high authori-
ties, the insecurity Of life and property in
some counties in Kentucky is disgraceful;
the poor man is not safe in his isolated
cabin the mob has rendered Ken
tuckians insecure Of life, liberty and prop
erty; and the jury system is weakness
The Governor asks that he be invested with
extraordinary powers, in order to arrest
this condition of affairs which now stands
as bar against the securement Of re-
spectacle immigrants into the State. The
Courier-Joarnal hopes the Legislature will
grant the necessary power to Governor
Stevenson to arrest these evils, and urges
his responsibility to the people as the
surest guaranty against any abuse Of the
extended authority.
Ii TINS is the result OF extreme Democ-
raoy, as it prevails in its absolute purity
in Kentucky, what reason can be given
why We should accept of any more of il
than we have already? Are not our
troubles already as many as we can con-
veniently bear? VIII not Baton Rouge
and Donaldsonville suffice to FIJI oul
measure of ill without going into an ex.
cess in the matter of lawlessness? With
out pursuing the question further, we sub.
nit the indictment against what Democ-
aey is in Kentucky, and protest that it is
not an importation proper to be made in
large quantities into this State at present.
At least this is the inference we draw a,
present.

ANNEX RUATAN.

All who delight in the pleasures af-
forded by tropical fruit should be aware
that the greatest portion in this market
comes from the little island of Ruatan, one
Of the bay islands, which rest so Sozily in
the Caribbean Sea, about forty miles
from the coast of Spanish Honduras, to
which country it at present belongs, al
though the government seems TO set little
store by it. True, Governor IS sent
from Truxillo, and his duties are few, and
he seldom troubles himself or those who
appoint him. His life Il ths. ! country
gentleman in .g1od Is .ances, with
nothing in nas' to Yex his lazy
days.
II nts are happy, rather in
AZ all the world beyond their
4 sssR being somewhat religiously in
ID 4 and are not borne down with too
many laws. This small community, with
its many natural advantages and delight
full climate, pursues an even tenor from
Christmas to Christmas, the only notable
event being the arrival of a vessel from
New Orleans with -four, lumber, notions
and other necessaries. These articles are
paid for in fruit produced with scarce an
effort, the only real labor being to gather
and land it alongside the schooner. There
exists close intimacy between the people
Of Ruatan and this city, SO much so that
New Orleans is almost the only city in the
world they know Of or care for, or trade
with.
There are many and forcible reasons
why that connection should be made
more binding. Those who rule over il
to-day would readily part with it, We
think, and the inhabitants would, to Q
man, vote for annexation to these United
States. The island and our government
would both be benefited in such trans
fer; annexation would prove beneficial tc
all concerned, and Spanish Honduras
would lose nothing. She never derived
any revenue from that sosrce, and nevel
expended anything. In fact, she treats
Ruatan as Cinderella. Were oul
flag to wave over the island, she
would soon develop into princess
Of beautiful and bountful pro
portions, tropical island Of tranquil de
lights. Earthquakes and contagious dis
eases are unknown there, and they hav'
no knowledge Of physics or drugstores
Labor Is cheap, and 50 is subsistence
Let the next annexation scheme, in til,
extreme Of Alaska. be the prolific ialant
Of Ruatan. The subject is one worthy 0
a commission and investigation.

The best map of Louisiana ever published
is now nearly ready for delivery. The ex-
elusive right tn sell this map has been
transferred to Mr.. Edgar Steel, the pub
Usher, whose office is at No. 80 Camp street,
with Messrs. Christian & Hyatt. We have
seen the first copy Of the map that has been
mounted. A brief examination shows it to
be superior piece of workmanship, while
it embraces wide scope OF useful informa-
ton, giving not only the names and location
of towns, the boundaries of parishes and
the course of rivers, but also the boundaries
and names of owners Of all the plantations
in the State that front on the Mississippi
river. A new feature will be the noting of
a recently discovered leland in the Gulf,
lying about midway between the Balize
and the Chandeliers. This island is not
laid down on any published chart, bat will
be found in Hardee's new map.
