praisc8orthy could be done than to
beat the enemy.
But what general expects successful
strategy with the ]cloyen-foot OF his
purpose out, ana all his plans exposed

MIST by false prctcnces Of departing
from principles and purposes it is his
well known desire to accomplish, and

thwart the ends he has in view! Must
not 4 political war, as well as any other,
be carried on by force u~ncorccaIed,
or BY strategy to some extent hid, es'
pecially when men are acting on m
tcrcstcd motives and nothing is to be
done by argument or persuasion IN
showing up the truth? In Louisiana
the carpet-bag thieves, and negroes are
organized and stand- ION n side. and
the honest men OF the State are disor-

now proposes the novel idea to go
over and join the enemy, lock, stock

And 10 the enemy runs like y flock
from him, his friends and his argu
ments. We are to be known by the
company we keep, and not desiring his
company or his counsel, was it not as
plain before as it is now, that nothing
was to be done by such strategy by
any side which Byauregarl was on:
