X. A. Cross vs.. The Governor.
The Baton Rouge State Journal of
a late date pitches into our neigh
Dor, X. A. Cross, as follows
Cross VS.. The Governor.
Cross, of the Patriot Democrat, is try
ing to make people believe he knows
something, but we are afraid he will
not be able to impress such an ab-
surd idea upon those who have COM
mon sense. He advertises Governor
Warmoth for sale in his patriotic
sheet, on the same conditions as he
would like to sell himself out Oh
He accuses everybody and everything
as frauds who are connected with
the present State government, be-
cause he has not got an Office. If
the Governor could buy Cross at
what he thought be was worth and
sell him at his (Cross') estimated
value of himself, he would have more
money than q mule could carry
Cross is one of these sanctimonious
Z" sort of cusses," for he never says
anything that anybody else would
be guilty Of saying, nor does he do
anything that anybody else would be
guilty Of doing. Now, Cross; take q
little piece of advice, as the old wo-
man said to her son when he was on
the eve Of departing from home, on
q long journey,-always keep your
mouth shut, my boy, and no person
will know you are fool, but if you
do not, your fate is sealed, and your
future prospects for ever becoming
Coroner Of the parish you now live
in will be blasted forever, and we
know you are anxious to hold po-
sition which your patriotic fellow
parishioners are very anxious to have
you fill. Do not oppose Governor
Warmoth with your ue'y influential
and ably edited semi-weekly abor.
ton, for if YOU do be will stand nc
, chance for reelection, and you,
friend and choice, Hon. A. s. Her.
ron, would step right in and take
charge of the gubernatorial chair o1
the State of Louisiana, and undoubt.
. edly you would be appointed the
Governors doorkeeper, or lacky boy
1T would not make much differ.
ence which-as it is a fit position TO,
a genius homo of your calibre.
