Public Opinion.
The Ouachita Telegraph, speaking of publ

The Ouachita Telegraph, speaking of public
opinion, says:
care the men who destroyed it, the proper
persons to restore it3 Can we build up par
ty on corruption and notorious misrule? Can
we save the State by elevating to Office the
men who have designedly and purposely led
us into trouble? Are the people dogs that they
should do thisl We tell the Times, No a
thousand times, No? Not only are there polit-
ical reasons forbidding such step, but there
are high moral grounds which cannot be dis
regarded, that forbid it with every good citi-
zen in the State, unless his moral creed has
been greatly altered in two years. There is,
at this time, public apathy, superinduced by
forgetfulness of what the bad men in the State
have done, that invites insiduous schemes of
bargain and sale with these bad men; but
when the situation shall be analyzed thor
oughly and the evil deeds of politicians m
earthed, as they inevitably will be on the
stump and in the press, the hideous phase of
evil communication will drive the people to
loathing and disgust, and to hopeless apathy
or supreme exertion to be free forever of
corrupt and corrupting influences. The slo-
gans of Reform, Expediency and Police will
not drown the "still, small voice" in every
good citizens heart that will admonish him
that an alliance with dishonest men, in the
distribution of places of honor and trust, is
wrong. Common prudence will tell him that
a man to be trusted must never have betrayed
a trust; that verbal or written guarantees
from such All individual are wholly insuffi-
cient: that faith is shown by work and that
sincerity in good causy requires no pay
ment in advance.

Mr. Editor of tho COuriar

Mr.. Editor of the Courier.
1t does not require the eyes of a political
lynx to see the disadvantageous position oc-
cupied at present by our Democratic candid
ates, especially those for the Legislature
Defeat stares them in the face. The party is
not organized, and there is no great prospect
of its being so, according to the plausible but
not practicable expressions of some even of
our good men. Indifferent to a convention
| These expressions will cause a greater diver
sity of opinion amongst us. Individual can
didates no matter how true and we'll adapted
for the place, cannot promise themselves an
electing plurality. as there will be a great
many of them. and each sanguino about his
own success, will have some friends who will
give him modicum. Hence the votes will be
divided, whilst the Republican or Radical par
ty, obedient to the quiet selection of their Sa-
chems, will cast undivided ones and elect
their candidates. ...-..-
The result of the last election ought to be
fresh In our memories, when Democrats could
have elected their whole ticket by majority
of 400 votes but by dividing their votes be-
tween the four nominated and three unnom-
mated candidates, opened an avenue for two
adyersaries.
But whence comes this objection to organ
ize the party9 Has it originated iii the party
itself ON account OF the manner i'll which the
last Convention was conducted2 If it have.
she conclusion is hasty and erroneous. at
hest, "to err is human; and if errors have
been committed either m the way of holding
it, or in the persons nominated, the proper
way would be for every patriotic lover Of a
good and economical government, not to throw
away, in disgust, his only means of success,
but rather take it up again with renewed en-
ergy, proiit by his experience. and firmly re-
solve o,avoid all such errors feF the future
Or has it originated with the opposite. party

has kept up, gratuitously, an almost eontin-
nous ding-dong of comments not very fatter-
ing TO that Conyentionf sincerely hope that
it has not succeeded in dividing us, and that
our people have not taken counsel of ah en-
emy whose pecuniary interest it is to dis
countenance and vilify all Democratic Con-
ventions. s.
To conclude, Mr.. Editor, as without organ
ization and union our Democratic candidates
will certainly be defeated, it ought to be the
duty of some person or persons, say the Dem
ocratic Central Committee, to endeavour,
though late, to bring them about. Even with
them, many obstacles to success could yet be
pointed out by A LOOkERiA.

Springs are situated on the Bayou des Canes,
distant about "a miles Southwest of the town
| Of OpelOusas Among the numerous springs,
there to be found, may be had such as are
found ab0uuding with Sulphur and prepara-
tions. of Iron. The springs are very abundant,
and in one instance three OF the streams form
a large basin which affords magnificent bath
ing place. The waters of the said basin can
be entirely renewed every hour, a circum-
stance which is certainly calculated to add
much to its purity. At the distance of some
five hundred yards from the principal bathing
place there is, besides this, another which is
furnished with an abundant stream of water,

remedial agency of these waters in the relief
of Dyspepsia and in the permanent cure of
cutaneous eruptions, from past experience,
now stands uncontradicted.
The establishment consists of comfortable
dwellings, with all the necessary furniture
which may be required at such place, and the
table will be always amply furnished with
whatever edibles may seem best to suit the
tastes of visitors. An excellent pasture in
which horses may be kept with safety, will

which they may receive but that they viii be
also equally contented with the degree of
health which they may obtain from the
healthful use Of the waters of the different

The world ON Greeley.

4 The following from the New York World
will give some idea of the issues to be met at
Baltimore IL
The idea that the Democratic party is to
shut its eyes and swallow Mr. Greeley As igno-
rant people do quack medicine, is too prepos-
ferrous. It has always been the custom OF the
Democratic press to freely discuss the claims
of rival candidates within the party; such
discussions being restrained by no other con
sideration than the recognized obligation to
be bound by the decision of the Democratic
National Convention. Nothing could be more
absurd or into1erable than the pretense set
up by Mr.. Greeley's Democratic friends that
he is to be.exempted from the ordeal to which
all Democratic candidates have heretofore
been subjected. The necessity for discussion
and scrutiny is greater than ever when the
party proposes to 60 outside of its own ranks
for candidate. The proposition is so novel,
so contrary to- Democratic usage, that if any
thing ever demanded and justified the freest
and broadcast latitude of discussion, tits this
singular proposition. to take the most abusive
opponent of the Democratic party as its can
didate for the highest office in the Govern
ment. @*
The fact that Mr.. 4Greeleyis own party has
always thought him unfit for the responsible
tiles of public office, is so pretty conclusive
evidence against him. The truth is that he
Is wayward. erotchety, opinionated; that he
lacks sound Judgement and mental balance !;
and that the party which he has most faith
fully served and all whose prepossessions
have been twenty years in his favor, has
never nominated or elected him to any lmpOr-
tant Office
