Now those who believe that there is

given line that is in any respect incom-
patible with the honor or interests of the
country south Of that line, do we'll to re-
sist immigration from, the one region into

We have no idea the Times indorses the
insane rhapsodies Of Mr.. Preston, but
unless it writes little more carefully it
may be held responsible for common
sentiment when it uses an argument
analogous with that OF Mr.. Preston.
We can remind the Times that this
super southern Line is not demanded by
the South itself Neither the immigrants
from the Southern Atlantic States, nor the
natives Of Louisiana desire to insult the
many-many- excellent men and women
from the North who have lived so long
and SO honorably in this State by intimat-
ing that they represent civilization not
desirable, according to the Times, and ode
ssroying tho courage Of man and blasting
the honor Of woman" according to Mr..
Logan. Still less is it acceptable TO in
innate to the reputable men and women
OF European origin that there is peculiar
standard Of honor which they do not at
tain.
We attribute nothing more to the Times
than misguided zeal to render a paper,
founded and run throughout its entire
caHeer by Northern and English directors,
more Southern than the South ITSELF
The past history Of the Times does not
warrant the super-Southern position
claimed for it at present It was founded
on Northern money; owned and run by
Northern men. II never sent man into
the war on the Southern side, nor did it
make any sacrifice for the Southern
cause, as did some other Southern jour
mails, which persisted for their opinions.
At the close of the war it employed sew
eral e1-Confederate soldiers on its staff,
and in all things affected an independent !
position. which, as interpreted by asso-
ciate journals, means neutral prcss. .
All this was done in the past, nor do We !
hold the present proprietors responsible
for its opinions. Still. when the paper is
placed in SO preposterous a position as
to quarantine New England, and confine
the development Of Louisiana to the i'm
born south Of Mason and Dixon's
line, We render a neighborly service in
pointing out the inconsistency between
the national neutrality Of the past Times
and the sectional bitterness of the present.
