New Orleans Democracy.
From a private letter published in
the Shreveport Times of the l2th, we
make extracts which we publish else
where, and in connection We must say
that we are not at all surprised. The
conduct Of those political wirc-work~
crs in the past, has left us but little
hope Of their being made to work in
future to the end, that good might &C.
crue to the entire people, should that
good, cause the failure of some cher
ished scheme, or wished for ambition
Of particular individuals. That the
majority of the people of New Or
leans are true to their State; true to
the cause of the white men, we are
ever ready to admit, but they suffer
themselves led into shameless and
indefcncible acts by the warl mani
pulators and political bummers, that
seem to surround and infest the every
endeavor Of the honest and patriotic
citizen of the city. We are sorry to
see that r. II. Mari, than whom no
purer patriot lives, and who enjoys
tho respect and confidence of all
classes Of citizens, has been led to
commit himself to sign the address of
the Committee appointed by Rcsolu-
ton of the Baton Rouge Convention,
as eminating from the democratic
Conservative party"
This is too palpable, and if the New
Orleans Democracy intend to continue
to intlict US with this shameless con-
duct, the sooner tho North Louisiana
parishes cut loose from their political
thraldom, the better.
Here is one of their "Bcnedict Ar
nold' acts, in violating an express
understanding had with her sister
parishes in solemn Convention. It
is asking entirely too much of rs to
swallow all that these men require of
US, and if they desire even q SEM
blance of confidence on our part, in
them, their conduct in future must
not be marked with such treachery as
has to this time been evinced.
We reject this circular as not enc
mating from q body called IN tie spirit
of the understanding had r;th "Thc
People" at Baton Rouge, and we give
it only that sanction We would any
truthful document eminating from
private individuals.
New Orleans, not as a people, but
| its Democratic emOlument seekers
are, in measure, responsible for this
Kellogg fraud, for we contend that
the compromise made between that
functionary and its Witt city gov.
ernment (which in itself is shame
and a disgrace, and should that be
the quality Of Democratic government
intended for the whole State, we would
be only swapping the "Devil for the
Witch" in the exchange Of Radical
ism,) gave more strength and back
bone to the defacto than a thousand
Coashatta's would at the present time.
For it not only gave credence to the
statement of Kellogg and his friends,
''that he ruled by the will of a ma.
jority Of the white people, and that
only few disappointed were dissat-
isfed," but it opened the door for all
"vultures in search of game" and
gave "because-you-did-it" right to
all patriots in hunt of office.
The bane, the damning curse of all
movements of patriotic intent, are
these bowling demagogues who I'M
agine that they must be rulers wheth-
er the people will or no. For our
selves We will have no more of them,
and unless the citizens of New Or.
leans desire not the condemnation of
every true and honest Louisianian,
let her show herself in unalloyed pat
riotism-throw off these fostering pc.
lltical brmmers, and nominate men
Of the people, and from the people, and
one thing Of advice to tour Commit
tee,"-no more addresses to tho people
with the treacherous caption of
democratic Conservative"
