have no apprehension Of how they
will.

lnsolence.
If anything was required to dis |
prove the charge that Natchitochcs
and her people were seeking, as the
roaring lion, radical gore, the inso'
lence of their mouth.pieco would be
a sufficient refutation Of the worn
out calumny. T" properly UNDER
stand the situation Of our people, one
has but to read the history Of tile
acts and character of the Radical
leaders Of our parish. This history
Is fresh In the minds Of every one in
tile State, every one almost in the
Union, and is too firmly fixed in truth
to he shaken by any denial. Eight
per cent taxation is an evidence of
Radical rule, local rule, that stands
out in bold condemnation of their
canting promises It is an evidence
written on the ",lemands to pay, or
emmigrate," IN tie household of eve
ry white citizen Of the parish, and
is evidence which they haze nerer
dared to rebut.
When these fellows, led by men
who are indicted OF convicted thieves
and bribe.takers-rrovcn liars and
commanders Of muulerous gangs Of
out-lawcd robbers, attempt the role
of "advisers" for gentlemen Of our
country wards, We can only say, as
they will say, that it is an act Of bra
zen insolence hardly to he broGEed.
The imtddeht hehchmen Of the
scalawag thieves of this parish, who
keep open "a dirty sheet sustained
in whole by the money wrung from
the white people by villainous
printing law; had better 10 careful
how they deal in "mul Singing" to-
wards the citizens Of the town Of
Natchitocles. They have suffered
in patience the Infamous acts Of these
thieves ssd scodnd,els-they have
submitted to the arrest Of citizens BY
troops Of Cavalry, called here at shei'
bidding; but it is beyond l'umatt en-
durance to suppose that nature car
stand the dirty insinuations Of thu
low flung, in.bred ours Of the Radi.
cal party here, through the columns
of a dirty paper that disgraces jour
nalism. The craven character of TN
cowardly ours IS sirown WREN it i
known that all this vitnpcration i
done through ''opeh coFumns," fo
which no one il responsible, and il
