A Rebuke for Bis Haligners and q Cheer
for the Patriotic Junius.
Il'rom the Lower Coast. !

about the paper which, if continued, is
destined to win the admiration and sup
port of tho people. DO not think by

Few men hive Nxcl au,l so)il opinions.

copt and support H. Such appears TO
be the aim Of the CArIroLIAN.
have recently read with much inter
rst the letters Of "Junius,' corrcspon
don't of the Patriot-Dcmoc,ai, copied in
the CAlITOLLiN, and have noticed in
other papers that some very unjust, u''-
called for and unman)y thrusts have
been made at Senator B. w. MWston,
Of Rcd River parish, which "Junins'
has resented with u htroism that e}icits
the admiration and congratulations OF
Mr.. MarstOn's fictnds. had OCCASION,
in 1873, Of being associated with Mr..
AfarstOn and have known him for many
years, and | am constrained to remark
that he who would inditc an il word or
cast am unjust or dislonorablc reflection
against the conduct or character OF
Senator Marston, would disgrace himself
The dirty assertion that he lives in q
"shanty" on Red River is u disgrace tc
the man who wrote it and the paper
that originally published it. II matters
not if hercsdc in q wigwam--hc has q
brilliant intellect, an honest heart, q
generous soul, an irreproachablc char
acicr. The fact of his having been SC
lcCtcd ps Senator from his district
where so many able and honorable mel
reside, is an evidence of his superior
worth and mental ability. Senator
Marston's motives are good. lie love-
peace and good order, and under th'
most trying and exciting circumstances
his judgment and advice in matters per
tanning to public interests may be relic,
upon. Red River parish has felt IN,
appreciated his advice and services il
tho days of her sorrow, oppression an'
peril. Ask tho people of Rcd River
who were robbed and plundcrcd an,
prosecuted and prosecuted and impris
oned at tho instance of q damnablc rad
ical a,lministration--thc minions o
Ulysses s. Grant-if Senator Marston i
not worthy Of their confidence and trust
and not ho who would throw out filth,
inncndocs against him because he boldl,
and IN accordance with tho wishes .
his constituency, cxcrtcd himself to OK
tinguish M institution or corporation
that will remain an incubus upon soCi
ETY. and q stain upon tho character 9
tho State government of Louisiana a
long as that institution or corporation
exists. 1t tisnotncccssary for Mr.. Marsto
to make any personal explanation G
himself or his conduct during the las
sitting of tho General Assembly. II
stands upon the record uutarnislc,. lie
him blc his tinc-liis friends will iigli
his battles for him.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, blow you
whistle loud and long and often. Tc
the PatriotDcmocrat to rc-ccho the rev
ellie of "Junius' while the sun of Ill
erty rises to drive back imperial darl,
ness from tho land. Let wirc-pullc,
and trickstcrs and the sycophants an
adhcrcnts of imperialism undcrstan
that they will receive no quarter frol
those who desire honest dealing, VIII
love liberty and local sclf-gOvcrnmcnt.
Tell that Fraud, who resides in til
American Capitol against the wishes an
votes of the American people, that hi
political doom will be sealed when til

cnmcnt to the polls!
Let pcr,lition stamp his brand upo

American people tho legacy left thcl
by their fathers, secured at the price {
their blood!
Raise high the banner of State sovc

Arouse the people to the important
