"Render unto Caezar the things

the things that ale Gods"
| notice in the 7o,cn Talk of the
18th inst. a card from DR.. e. E.
Smart, wherein he attempts to claim
the honor Of locating the Louisiana
State Seminary, near Alexandria,
for his father. In so doing he at
tempts to pluck the we'll earned
laurels from the brow Of one of
Rapides noblest citizens, the Hon.
NJ. Ryan. The Journals Of the
Senate Of 1852 will bear me out in
the assertion, that we owe the loca-
ton Of that Institution alone to the
efforts of that distinguished gentle
man ; and further more, that the
Hon. J. r. Smart, who was men,
Der of the State Senate at that time,
was bitter opponent of the Semi
nary being located at or near Alex
andria, but urged to have it located
at Fort Jesup near the Texas line.
| And as the gentleman has mis-
represented his father in the premi-
ses, l will bet him pair Of spec
tacles, Chat he may see the record
of the dads in its true light that
no one ever charged it upon the
gentleman that he was opposed to
the State Seminary leing returned
to its legitimate domicile. 1t was
simply an invention of his own fu-
tile brain to bring the matter be-
fore the people and give dad a false
puff. Our Independent candidate
Hon. j. I. Hathaway, has already
made himself a record on that sub
iect in the last Legislature without
1 any reference to the record OF the
dads. JUSTICE. +.
