as he did not claim to have my personal re-

Barrow to require as to whether they ever
claims to negotiate or control my vote. Both
denied the statement and have given me that
denial in writing. At the time the levee bill
passed the House there was at least one other,
If not more, bills ofa similar nature before the
House. Major Moncure, myself and several
other members, examined these different bills
and decided to vote for the one that passed be-
cause it was the least obnoxious, and We were
satisfied that one of them would certainly be
passed. Every member OF the House of Rep
resentative voted for the bill with one eycep-
tion, Mr. j. II. Burch voting nay. deny that

vote, or that my vote on the levee bill, or on
any other measure was ever influenced except
by my honest Judgment as q legislator, and
challenge contradiction of this statement.

to DR.. Tatman, now absent from the city. to
inquire whether the charge is true, that he
used my name in any such connection.

luton passed by the Liberal Convention, re-
commencing ION account.of his high self-abne-
CATION and noble sacrifice of every aspiration
II. Y. Warmoth to the Senate Of the United
States to represent Louisiana. Keep before
the people likewise, the noble self f-abnegation
on the other Hand, of the proud men Of that
Convention, who, with magnanimity unprcce-
dented, cast away every sense of dignity them
selves, and so far forgot the wrong and shame
heaped upon them in the past, las to vocifer-
ousiy cheer. with their,hottest breath, the au-
thor Of their wretchedness and ruiu, every time
that he would but eondescend to cross the
stage before them. This, the regulated ma
chine of Gov. Warmoth, has permitted itself
to be SO bedizened thatit has earned the pity
OF those who withhold from it there supreme
contempt. And it rests with YOU Messrs
| Editors, not to let the absence Of Warmoth's
name from the ticket deceive and luiI the I'M
wary into fancied security, from which they
will be awakened with a rude shock The

three distinct paragraphs, viz:
lst. Complaints.

As to the first beg leave to he silent.
The second paragraph is devoted to his
sy stem of raising beans. 1t affords me
