a few days ago the Y. o. Demo
crut and Times both pat on their
smart night caps and devoted c0n
siderable space III what they imag
ined to be specimens OF eXtraor-
binary wit, in trying to bellttle
the actions OF country towns i'll
quarantining themselves against
citizens OF New Orleans.
According to the logic Of those
papers, interior towns should de-
vote their attention to spreading
and disseminat ng yellow Fever
all over the country as So0n as it
once gets a foot hold in New Or
leans.
They have forgotten how siren
uously they urged the rigid cXac
ton OF quarantine npon vessels
approaching New Orleans :, few
months ago. The destruction OF
whole cargoes OF fruit to It's exac-
tons was then right aud proper.
But once the Fever had bursted
through their guards, and other
people began TO take measures to
keep it from being transported in
to their localities, they are all
fools according tothe wise writers
Of these papers. 1t would be very
nice to have this town refuge
OF the citizens of New Orleans,
whittier they could come and go
daily, weekly, no doubt. butthen
we DO not Se6 where the niceness
begins should they transport the
fever here. We claim to have the
same inallnnable right to protect
ourselves from New Orleans that
New Orleans has to protect her
selfirom other places. We propose
to exercise that right at any rate.
The citizens Of interior towns
have watched with anxiety and
interest. the superhuman efforts
made Ivy the city Of New Orleans
to prevent the introduction OF vel
low Fever and sympathise SINGER
ely with them i'll their misfortune.
That is, however, no reason,
why they should not endeaver as
best they can to protect them
selves iIom amy nearer approach.
now that it has become fixed in
that city. Inhabitants OF interior
towns do not propose to have
their limits, even if they are small

OF the Democrat and Times used
As a reiuge for every man or wo-
man who desires to leave the CITY

1t i'll becomes such papers to

they til themselves, and they
