The New Orleans DEMOCRAT 10 doing . noble
work for Louisiana, little more than year

INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM. 1t was through an
abandonment OF Democratic principle, and Or
ganlzaton, and false teachings, of the eo-called
Independent press that Louisiana aud Mississippi
were for so many years made the victims Of
mongrel oppression and robbery. With single
exception tho entire press of Mississippi drifted
into time-servipg policy OF COMPROMISING with
political charlatons for the sake Of Office and it
was difficult to tell where democracy began or
Radicalism left off. Their party platforms were
not dissimilar and their party machinery
alike controlled by expediency. rather
than principle. And Louisiana, with her inde-
pendent press, consolidated political adversary
while dividing the public sentiment Of the De-
mocracy. IL was not until the New O,leans
DEMOCRAT was established and raised the old
flag Of Democracy that the people rallied and
concentrated their forces against a common ad-
versary. 1t has boldly and fesrlessly taught the
true doctrine on which alone free government
rests, and uucomprom'singly sought the re-es-
tablishment CT peoples government. 1t had
no iriepdsbip, like the independent press, for
Casey, Warmoth, or other Radicals, but made
war on sill alike who would not boldly seek the
rehabilitation OF the government in the principles
on which it was founded.-[Austin (Texas) State
