From the New orleans Pieayune,!

The following exquisitely beautiful
poem appeared originally in the ''Pie.
ayune." It has been republished
throughout this country, and has been
lilched at times by unprincipled per-
sons desirous of usurping the credit
due to the gifted writer. The note
which follows is by the editor of the
London ''Parochial Critic and Metro
politan Press" 1t is 4 tribute, no less
just than generous, to 4 writer of
whose genius New Orleans has 50
mach reason to be proud:

Let the Bulletin carefully read this
extract from the Republican Of the
9th, and it will see that that journal
is somewhat cratic in regard to who
and what constitute Democrats and
White Leagers.
The recent letter Of Colonel John Nc
Emery, dated Monroe, July 30, ls74, to a
friend in this city, renders it very clear
that the White League organizations in
this State are nothing but branches Of
the Democratic party. Referring to a
communication originating in North Lon.
isiana, signed By himself and other citi-
zens Of that section, and addressed to the
Democratic Central Committee At New
Orleans, Colonel AcEnery says:
Ny purpose was to create the very re-
verse Of the feeling which seems to have
sprung up in yvur city upon the publica-
ton Of the document in question. In
view of the dissensior saw arising in
many parishes, I thought that the sug-
ges1ions aud recommendations contained
in that document would allay those DIS
sessions, and present the white people
Of the State in one unbroken phalanx to
radicalism. which, in the par1snce of all
right thinking people Of Louisiana,
means the spOiliation and robbery, under
legal forms, Of their property and all
their substance.
The above extract very clearly demon.
strates that ne are not mistaken in com.
ing to the conclusion that the White
League organizations are branches Of the
Democratic pary-the purpose Of the
two organizations being really the same.

every Southern State through violence,
and it's final overthrow in the OF her States

have been pernicious We believe With

parry in his Ward.
We are informed BY these parties
that he advocated an extreme line Of
policy for them to persue in their
conduct with the whites, which they
properly and promptly refused to do,
whereupon he had them expelled
from the Radical clubs, upon the
charge Of being in league with the
whites Not satisfied With this, he
has them arrested and bound over to
keep the peace, and during the sit
tings Of his court he vas attended by
an armed guard Of negroes, and him
self Wan Dssen} cavorted around the
house displaying his revolvers and
using bad language, and indulGng in
threats against tho white Desloc1ats,
