This is a free country, and these papers have
no more right to complain than the old prac-
titioners at our bar, our oldest physicians,
merchants or any other profession, would have
lines of business. Competition is the life of
trade. &c.-St. Landry Clarion.
This is the veriest bosh and captrap.
More than this--it is dishonest pre-
sentation of the matter, false and mis-
leading, and while it may at casual
glance have superficial semblance to
truth, it is in fact as false as the abode
of Satan itself. Imagine if you can a
practitioner at the bar who, i'll order to
deprive rival of a fee, Systematically
takes all the best paying cases for moth
ing; a physician who treats without
charge every patient that bis rival might
get; merchant who gives away bis
goods and those of other people in order
to prevent his rival from selling any
imagine this, we say, and you will come
much nearer to il correct appreciation
of the matter, much nearer to the truth.
That competition is the life of
trade is very true, and no one
can reasonably object to fair and
open competition, but the Sleriff's style
of conducting his paper cannot fairly
be dignified with that term, for it is
nothing more nor less than cowardly
system of bush whacking and throat
cutting intended aud calculated to crush
out competitions.

The bete aotr for the editor of that paper is
that he thought he and his brother had patent
right to the newspaper business i'll this parish
st. Landry Clarion.
The intelligent reader will perceive
by this that the genius who now edits
the Clarion, and who, like his numerous
predecessors, is afraid or ashamed to
put his name at the head OF its columns
or at the bottom of his articles, besides
being silly nincompoop, as we have
shown before, is veritable Mrs. Mala-
prop besides. He not only does not
know how to spell the words which he
borrows from the French, but he is evil
IDENTIFY ignorant OF their meaning. And
that is the sort Of ignoramus that the

that. When We, the publisher of the
Courier and Mr.. jackson had "mono-
poly of the business, the town and
parish printing were done at less than
half legal rates, aud when Mr.. Jackson
dropped out OF the business the same
rates were still cItavged-no advance
was made, though we had the undoubt-
ed right to increase them. We have
made this clear long ago, and the Cla-
rlon has never even attempted to deny
it. How unfair and dishonest, then, is
it for the Sheriff to attempt to prejudice
the public against us by such claptrap,
Let him rather defend, if he can, bis
course in charging delinquents tWenty
times as much for advertising in his pa
per as they would have been required
to pay other papers. Let him explain
why he extolted from delinquents and
put in his pocket, for advertising in his
paper, t'ro dollars for every dime that
the other papers would have charged
