But time should not he wasted in

torney of the Pine Bluff, Monroe
and New Orleans Railway Compa-
ny will visit Monroe ON May 1st.,
to have a definite understanding as
to what assistance the people along
the line of road will give to the en-
terprise, and if they receive the sup
port that such an enterprise de-
serves they agree to commence
work on the same this summer and
push it through to completion.
In view of this fact we suggest
that an election be held at the sew,
eral voting precincts in the Parish,
on Saturday, April a5th--or such
other time as the Police Jury may
deem best--for the purpose of as
certaining the wishes Of the people
relative to levyiug q tax of five

We trust our Police Jury, at its
meeting in April, may see proper
% take action in this matter.

u solemn repudie,iation OF every fun
demental principle of those insGitu-
tons that arc Democratic. 1t antagO-
nizes them with every soul and spirit
OF ouc forefather ides OF government
"a government for, by ana OF the peo'
pie; in which tho VIII of the majority
shall ever be the sovereign AMI gu
proEle law OF the land,
TO c,ll in question the propriety or
constitutional scundness OF this or
any other issue that ever has eeen,
ever shall be, or ever shall DO proposed
to be declared by tue ms jorty OF tn

is o call in question the prOpri6ty and
soundness of those elements oi
our theory Of government tbat
are its pride aud CORY III
avery American hoart; and
its administration to the end of the
earth.
IL does seem that to say any measure
proposed 10 I've established in our or
ganic law by tho majority of the vote S
OF the people, (and prohibitionisls de
sire 10 establish theirs in no other
way) Is, or will be- denial of personal
liberty 60 the few, is p logical solecisni
out of harmony and sy patty with
our whole theory OF government and
hard to reconcile with anything thai IL
Dsmocratic; and IL is believed by sons
of us who nave sucked the milk OF
Democracy from our mothers paps
that neither the tire and eloguence Of q
Coke or a Mills can burn such doc
trine into Inc Democratic theory OF oui
government, nor iuse it into the MIND
aud hearts of Tree peoDle as sound
doctrine or good Democratic gospel.
That such position can never nre'
vail either in theory or practice, %
long as our COVE rnmsnt retains tlt
imprints of those patriot HAT Una
formed it, is certain.
