Leonard VS.. Packard.

What there is in this correspon-
deece,to excite the IN. Of any one,
is more than We can gee; neither do
vs4seS anything especially ITO COM
mend. The Marshal simply admits
that the Republican party of Louisi-
ana has been a failure; if, for no
other reason, than tlatetheys have
not had in their party sufficient in
telligence or honesty to conduct the
affairs Of government successfully.
Mr.. Leonard, on the other, admits
that the planks in the late-platform
of that party are tolorably sound,
but asks that they show their faith
BY their work, before any gentleman
can entertain any propositions CON-
ing from that source.
We do not think it much. to the
credit of Mr.. Leonard, or any other;
g ntleman, to be caught in cores
pondence with Packard, but his in-
stincts and training. doubtless in
dueed, him to think that politenesst
required him to make a reply, such
as he did. We do not blame him,
but cannot help thinking that such
recognitions of any ofthe vile crew,
are calculated to demoralize our peo-
pie to some extent. Mr.. Leonard
has heretofore labored earnestly, in
the interests of good government in
our State, and we should be sorry to
find him condemned by any of our
people, for slight cause; and we ven
ture the prediction that when the
time comes, he will be found in the
front ranks battling for what he, at
least, believes to be for the best in
terests of our down. trodden com
monwealth. We need every man
opposed to Radicalism, to cooperate
with us, and it is worse than folly to
condemn any Of our old soldiers
without sufficient cause.

,.U We have heard it rumored
that Messrs. j. j. Swindle and John
G.. Allen have signified their inten.
ton Of resigning their positions as
members of the Police jury of this
parish; but we hope that this is not
true. These gentlemen must re-
member that they have received the
vote of a very large majority of the
whole parish, and that, although
the duty devolving upon them is
unpleasant; yet, they must hold
their positions in response to the
high compliment paid them by their
fellow-citizens.
We would suggest that they do
not listen to the cayilings of a few
individuals whose pet schemes they
have, by their fearless and conscien-
tious action destroyed, but that they
should rather look to the whole pub
lie good, which they have SO, nobly
conserved. @ q is

We are a Democrat and have
never wandered from the faith
We drank in Democracy wi, b our
mothers milk, and have never used
any other kind Of whisky. We be
longed to the party when it was q
large family, and spread itself like
q green bay tree. We passed under
the dark cloud of fanaticism with it,
and are now peeping through the
rift in the cloud to a glorious future
for the grand old party, but, il
grieyes US sorelyathat our sad re-
verses have not learned all our peo-
pie wisdom. In olden times we wei
coined all to our household Of
every kindred, nation and tongue
but in these latter days there seems
to be disposition among some par
excellance Democrats, to rule out
all who cannot trace their lineage
back as far, at least, as anti-bellpm
times. This ought not 50 to be. We
want Old Line Wings, Reformers,
Liberal Republicans, and everybody
else, opposed to Radical rule, tojoin
with us, in the big fight just before
us, and we for one, are willing to
allow the upper seats at our coun.
s>cil tables to those men who shall do
most to rid US of the foul govern
ment that has been fastened upon
us BY prejury, bribery, corruption,
and the BAYoNET! We are ready
to strike hands with any one who
will assist us, and do not think We
compromise our Democracy one iota
by SO doing; and would like to i'm
press all of our people with that
idea. Of course we want to do bat
tie under the National Democratic
flag, but that is no reason Why the
Louisiana Democracy should not en-
list everybody under their banner,
even if they should enlist but for
the present campaign.
1t is to be hoped that we will see
no more of the ostracism that seems
to be cropping out in certain quar-.
tiers among would-be leaders. but
that we may all ezerc SO the
broadcast charity, and be willing to
award the most honor to the man
or men who shall do most to redeem
our beloved State from the hands
of the spoiler. When that day
comes, good men can organize on
other issues, and honestly agree to
disagree; but for the time being,
let us sink all prejudice and minor
differences, uutil the great end be
attained. There is work, much work,
to be done, and we need workmen
Those Of orr people who may think
it will be an easy job to get rid Of
Radicalism, are wofnlly mistaken
it win die hard, and will even try to
pull down the temple with it in it,

A Satisfactorily morning when

stage was considerably behind time,
The impression was prevalent that the
delay was caused by an attempt upon
the part Of the road agents to get pos

was known to comprise a portion of
