G the reform Of political abuses has had t
come from the Republican party itself
, These expatriated patriots resemble thos
Of Ireland and Hungary, who sometime
devote an energy TO the reform Of foreign
i wrongs which might, perhaps, have re
suited in redress of their own. The Re

been forever excluded from the
Canaan Of freedom and personal equality
Some disciples of Calhoun having fed
from Republican ascendency have fallen
back upon Louisiana as province in
which the principles Of that Democratic
saint are supposed to be held in peculiar
reverence. These disciples proceeded to
trace anew the line Of Mason and Dixon
and to renew the conflict of the sections
as it had been before the war They seized
and fortified the Picayune as a redoubt
and opened fire with the old notification
battery, with the Keitt-Rhett ordnance.
The supporting force expected from other
Southern Atlantic States did not appear.
The city Of New Orleans having with the
repeal of slave title become Western
city, and being inhabited by people who
came in good part to make money here
and 60 somewhere else to enjoy it, refused
to renew the late war, the South Carolina
party was shelled out of the Picayne by
the sheriff and the Picayune passed into
other and more conservative hands.
| This causes the sad reflection, "Alas, on
what brittle thread hang all mortal
and political things
Among the most fiery and indomitable
intrenchors and gunners was DR.. Warren
Brickell After his connection with the
Picoyne terminated, We learn that his
eminent professional ability was recog-
nized by medical faculty at the North,
and the scene Of his usefulness was trans
ferred to some of the Yankee States. By
and-by, however, he returns and finds |
Democracy suffering from a terrible re-
lapse. He Immediately clatters along with
his ambulance to the head of the column, |
and demands courtmartial upon Messrs
Burke, Leonard and Zacharie for having
accepted compromise. We do not think
South Carolina could have denounced the
Missouri compromise Of Henry Clay with
more bitterness than does this distin-
guished physician Messieurs the compro-
misers. They are said to be unauthorized
to act for the people Now, the people of
Louisiana differ from the people Of South
Carolina in this: Every citizen here is the
equal Of any other citizen anywhere
In South Carolina the direction Of pub

people.
Mr.. Leonard is also scolded with great |
,ehemence because he threatened to 90 {
home and raise Cain ii the compromise
vas not accepted by the Republicans. He Y
S charged W 18th an Ilnwarranted threat to
raise a finger Of resistance to the military |
'ower of the United States" The proper
olicy is stated to be ''cur continued 7
eaceful opposition to Kellogg" What I
hat peaceful opposition has been for two, I
aye, for six years" history shows. Per- I
APPS the medical adviser of the Democ- e
lcy may have been absent from the city p
n the fourteenth of September last, or a
g may deem the proceedings Of that day 7
eaceful. In his assumed absence, another W
hysician, announced as candidate for o.
lie post of coroner, is reported to have c.

What next? Will the South Carolina III,
