Another New Party.
From the Ouachita telegraph
The time seems to have arrived,
when, according to the advice of
political doctors, the life Of our
poor State will terminate, unless
The patient takes q New-Party
pill. .Iz
We had been TRANQUILITY and
hopefnlly pursuing the study of
Louisiana politics, feeling, as we
progi essed, that, at last, the
doctors were satisfied with expert
ments and changes, and, that,
with evident symptoms of a re-
action throughout the whole sys
tenn, the patient would be permit
ted to have q 1moment--just one
trial--for heaIthf0l rest and quiet,
aud easy circulation of the vital
fluid, when the smooth current
of our hopeful anticipasiens was
disturbed with having placed
before the poor patient the ever
failing prescription, Giue her a
Neso Party poaoder. The last time
this potion was administered, we
fondly hoped never to- see or hear
of its like again. But, doomed as
we are it seems, to be confronted
with repetitions, of the advice,
we mast needs accept the fate,
and struggle with it.
In our study OF politics OF this
State one grand Ieading feature
has caught and held our thoughts
Genuipe reform in the State is
impossible without unity of action
among fefOrmers, and will be
temporary, ifinaugnrated, unless
supported by q similar reform ia
the politics of the Union.
A proposition so clear as this
needs etsberation; it is self.sap-
porting. :. More than this. coneelk
fflg-as who will not that,
without u refefnlation in flational
politics, a reformation in onf
State government will leave us
still the mere dependents OF the
dominant party in national affairs,
Congress-, or the President, shav-
ing under our lately Centralized
form government the power to
annul whatever the people may
direct, does not the feature we
have caught hold upon,s in analyz
ing the situation in this State,
cover the whole aspect of the case,
focus aud surroundings We be
lieye it does.
