The New Orleans National Republican,
which the Courier has quoted SO often
against the Liberal party, WarmOth and
the JOURNAL, now pays it's respects to
u neighbor, as follows:
The O~pelousas Courier hugs itself with
great Joy and gladness about fusion, and
being all Democrats, RefOrmers, sLiber-
ais, and soforth. 1t also states that the
carved head of a bedstead cal be had at
its office, and that the editor writes his
own editorials. ~

The Courier's quondam wade mecum,
the New Orleans National Republican,
asks these questions: III
If Warmoth is not the most upright,
the most moral, the most patriotic, the
purest man among McEnery's support
ers, why is he the most popular? Why
does he receive more applause than Nc
Emery even if he is not the first choice
of the sweet-scented Democracy?
For the sake of the fellow feeling"
that formerly made thesetwo papers one
in spirit, the editor who writes his own
editorials should answer these questions.

Not long since the New Orleans Plea

in this State, the Bee of the Democratic
party, the New Orleans National Repub-
Iican of the Custom House wing Of the
Republican party, and the Courier whose
seditor writes his own editorials" was
nj of the most Bourbon Democratic
papers To be found under the sun, and a
concentrated compound Of the other
three in violent ahuse of Warmoth and
the Liberal party. We published last
week some Of the fulminations of .the
editor who writes his own editorials
against Warmotll and the Liberals, and
at the same time, the last production of
TINT editor, wherein he eased himself
down from the lofty heights where he
had been playing Jupiter hurting thun-
der-bolts, and embraced Warmoth and
the Liberals. as he had the Reformers
before, and gave each d kiss, winding
mp xiththis gushing peroration:
We are all Democrats, we are all Re-
formers, ne III all Liberals in this mo-
1nentDns struggle for the redemption of
both onr national and State rights.
There IL but one step from the sub
lime to the ridiculous and the Courier
makes but one step from the most yiru-
