"Disappointments again." | hear peo-
ple excIaim with that air of suffering and
d4>pair observable in those who are
bored. The last disappointments were
disappointments indeed. We had hoped,
ON seeing 'Slorh' figuring again, to have
read something quite different, something
really good, as that fellow evident
" has some pretensions to a knowledge
Of our local difficulties and %dlsappoint-
ments; but instead of that he dashed into
rhapsodic, fAbbiga<tic, scribbler politics"
SO some of my critics deal with me,
that is, with my production. migrate
full wretches! as they are" as my old
aunt used TO say of the whole species in
Guiding my critics who form a variety.
In spite, however, of this variety, l shall
to-day, with y-ur kind permission, Mr..
Editor, ca to mind some other disappoint-
ments, with which / am bored all around.
Some people, | must tell you, are disap-
pointed because some other people give
it out that, they are disappointed because
those who grow the sweets are only to
get 81 lbs of Muscovado sugar for a hum
bred lbs. of the best canes ever grown in
dry weather or IN wet ditto. They are
disappointed because these successors Of
Cain in the tillage of Mother Earth, can
no longer see, or pretend no longer to see,
what would be the benefit of having one
concern to grow the sweets and another
to boil them /; they have forgotten, now
that the trouble, temporarily, is over, what
a real trouble it Isl to be so ProteuS-like, from
machinist and chemist down to occnpa-
tions with less high sounding names,-
how many Inconvenience attach to the
present mode of doing things, how many
people are employed daily about the
works, and at what cost that about 5000
people are now employed in crop time to
do the work which, with the Factories,
would not require much more than one
tenth of that number ; they have forgot
ten the ~breakage, leakage and stealage
accompanying the present system; the

these debts. After the d~isconnection of the

poses of cultivation at 6 p. Ct, the Usiue

same causes produce the same effects in
St. Croix as in Martinique or Guadalupe,

SO as a blatant Southern loyalist

that the true and only remedy for

THE DUTY Or THE AOCR.

The history'of affairs in our State
affords no period since reconstruc-
ton wherein were graver dangers
menacing our Republican institu-
tons than now. A dangerous
armed organization everywhere
throughout the State. exultant in
the malignity Of their class spirit
and fell purpose; determined by
every mes,ns to override the will Of
a majority Of its citizens, attempting
openly the subversion OF constitu-
Ltional methods for the accomplish
ment OF their aims, the Republican
party is confronted and surrounded
on all sides by difficulties, only to
be overcome by unity of purpose
and harmony of action, at present
not attained, in the ranks of its fol-
lowers.
The pressing duty of the hour to
our Republican voters Is entire
unity. Local differences as to indi-
sidual preferences for legislative or
parish officers must give way to the
graver interests involved in the
redemption of the State and the
domination Of Republican ideas and
measures. With Democracy in its
worst phase through the atrocioue
spirit of the White League con:
fronting Republicans, there needs
must be accord. Selecting the best
men as standard bearers, honest
and tried Republicans, let our Re
publican forces determine on an
earnest and united pull together
for success within the next ten days
confident in their integrity o.
purpose and their numbers to carry
the State Republican and ensure .
lasting and permanent victory fol

umphant vote, on the second day O.

The Hon. John r.. Lynch, N. G.

into manhood, gifted with more
than an ordinary intellect, with

WAS elected by the people Of his

he afterwards became Speaker Of
the House; and whence he was
elected to Congress where he has
now served for nearly two terms.
