assume" and I'VE furthermore assume,
etc., and then comes, "We assert, SO and
so. This makes up the Democratic side
of the Louisiana case. 1t is one of as
sumptions and assertions, Of which those
who are considered as not 'the people"
have grown somewhat weary in other
States. Here the thing is an old story.
We do not object to the body of this ad-
dress to the President and Congress; it
was expected, and it can do no harm.
What we do object to is that portion of
the opening sentence which says, "We,
the people of the State of Louisiana, as
sembled in convention" Had we lived in
London when the tailors of Tooley street
called themselves .the people OF Eng
land, we should undoubtedly have been
perverse enough to have objected
to the wording of that petition.
In the style Of argument adopted
by the Democratic convent ton, we assert
and assume that majority of the voting
population of Louisiana are Republicans.
We also know that the anti-Republican
minority in the State is divided by con-
servative element not in sympathy with
the purposes of the last-ditch convention
which has just adjourned. In the election
of delegates there was seen strong opPo-
sition to the delegates themselves, which
rivalry further sub-divided divided mi
nority. This convention, then, only
fairly represented the small number who
voted for candidates who were elected;
but it can be assumed that it represented
the Democratic party; nothing more. The
memorial represents the sentiments Of all
who voted for its adoption in the
convention. Judge Merrick, Mr.. Leonard
and many others opposed it; but not be-
ing much Of "the people" they could not
STAY it. John Jones OF Smith have the
right to petition Congress and to tell who
they are. They have no right to assume
to be ''the people Of State in any cause,
much less have they rights to call them
selves 1.-The people when they entertain
peculiar views at variance with the views
OF the majority. The memorial read by
Mr.. Mari will so. forward as representing
q Democratic convention in the State, and
not as speaking for the people Of the
State. The egotism of those who framed
the memorial fattens the edge OF the in
strument itself, makes it absurd and i'm
potent, and worth as little as any ordinary
application for Office

The Democro: seems to be laboring under
an error in regard to the Boston CORE
spondent Of the REPUBLICAN. For its in
formation we will state that the CORE
spondent is not female, but gentleman
well known in the South. He is a native
Southerner, was wealthy slave owner be-
fore the war, and during that exciting
period drew lis sword at the head OF a
gallant Confederate regiment-thoroughly
in earnest in a cause which others, 10 less
in earnest, perhaps, served as faithfully,
signing Confederate money in a depart
ment up in Richmond.

and garnished. This has been all, we
suppose, done by the white workers. the
colored ladies sitting in their rocking
chairs and receiving, company.
We can see one effort of this chopped
logic and ill temper. 1t is to prove that
the crop product of the South being the
exclusive product of the white workers"
the negro element is useless. Useless, it
is nuisance. A nuisance, it may be
abated. To abate it only requires to un-
muzzle the White League and arm the
Ku-klux. We do not charge this to be
the purpose of the very bilious Bourbons,
because their partisan malevolence clouds
their logical acumen; but we affirm that
the logical consequences Of these premises,
fred by the zeal of. their defamation,
would be: The negro-Unnecessary, and
may be exterminated.
