MONOPOLIES.

Opposition to monopolies is one Of the cardi-
nal principles of Democracy, and the Demoe-

specific pledges. when 1t got into power to re-
peal the charter of every monopoly in the
State.-NeT Orleans Democrat.
And very wholesome doctrine IT is. Letthem
all be- alb ,lished together. When the DEMOCRAT

Slaughter House monopoly. and the printing

New Orleans Times.
There is not a monopoly in this State that
the DEMOCRAT has not assailed. The para
graph from an article in the DEMOCRAT of yes
terday, quoted above by the Times, is itself a
general denunciation Of all monopolies. Dur
ing the session of the late Legislature we at
tackled the Louisiana Lottery monopoly; the
Slaughter-House monopoly, and the gas mo-
nopoly, and appealed to the Legislature to
repeal the monopoly feature Of the charters
of all these institutions. Wereceived no sup
port from the Times, which was the hireling
of the Lottery Company and the able cham
pion of the omnibus scheme which that con-
Germ and the Carondelet street gamblers put
up to run bonds up to 95.
We have attacked the Lottery monopoly
with especial vigor as the most powerful
and obnoxious of the brood, feeling
certain that when the power of that
concern, supported. as it Is and has been,
by the hired columns Of the Times and Plea
yurae, was broken, there would be little diff
Guilty in destroying the others. But we have
never failed in attacking the lottery to assaiI
the other monopolies both specifically and
upon general principles.

difficulty right, and asked that the present
Legislature be authorized to select him as Sem

by some piece of good luck, be Democratic,

The maximum bass which principals OF primary
