A gtoss and violent attack wa, made l pon t ir o V Ni'.ict r)ATo . :s te11 public printer--a aIttik so lItterlyi unjnlstifiedl a n r lrl:l:ll ted as to merit, as it shall rneceive, a rebuke in fitting termi.s. I\V ate doing t.rle printing of this plrish futr 'ff!t r' ! pe1r sl:nare, of one inch solid ltre'vier nmeauore, which is just one half the (m0nwt chat rgd by the radical shet,r which have been published in this city- since tir e birth of the degrading; anrd degraded party to which they yid,-hhI l a enrihi feal ty. These newspl pers hai d eo cirehni tirn and lived only by thire monies forced by villainons las, frotm the iltpawers whom they ..ever ceased to uph1iaid and slander. A republican member of the pres ent Police Jory, nt the time that hody had under considerrtion the -esti nate of expenses of 187l, saw fit to make his studied and well planned attack, the attack of his party, at their bid ding and for their benefit, upon the VINDICATOsu, icharging it with draw ing its pay without authority and to the detriment of other and equally just creditors of tlhe par ish. The trick of this man was unrebu ked by the Democratic members, who knew the charges to be false and slanderous; hence our justification of ourself. When hen the radical members' son was conducting the radical paper here ; when it never had a circulation of a hundred, and was never seen in it decent mana house, and when it was dragging its one dollar per square from the people it abused in its columns and insulted by its very presence, no man ever heard this worthy reformer enter one word against the "printers bill,"' and he was then a member of the Police Jury as now. Po man hears him to-day say aught of the Sheriff's bill or the Clerks' bill because they are of his political fim ily; and upon Wednesday last when a bill was presented by a radical blacksmith, (a negro) charging thirty fire dollars for ironing seven men, he moved that the bill be approved for one half and it was voted down, and al leced for three dollars and fifty cents. We like to see men consistent. We are; for during no hour of our life have we let up on these fellows who attempt to play the reform upon the 1 VINDICAtOR from a motive which we well understand. If the parish of Natchitoches is too poor to pay fifty cents per square for its printing Tet it post its proceedings I on the Court House door as we have informed the Jury it could do, but we pronounce as false the statement that we have been paid one cent in excess of the price we contracted for, nor t Irate we been paid in any other manner than a regularly approved aecCalnt rtp proved by thRe "'kmne Committe of which this radical is a member, and not to the detriment of other creditors eith er. If the radical brmmcrs of this pat ibsh propose to make war on us they will find us ready and prepared. Our efforts against tlhem, have never ceas ed and we will not be satisfied until the last one is driven into that dis graceful obscurity their infamous con- c duct in thie past merits them. Since the above was written, and at the Thursday session, Mr. W. C. Ross, than whom no better man nor 1)emocrat lives, ably and elnoquently v defended thIe paper and party from " chlarges made by thie radical mnembler. L Mr, Ross' speech was one of thie best t efforts we have heard him make. Full of bristling sarcasm and was ao triumphant vindication of this paper a and tlhe party which it represents. g Mr. Ross presented thie fact that tirhe a VILNDICATOR had been paid for print- t ing from May ist., to this date nearly j six months, .2545,O0, while the amount paid the Republican for the same length of time in previous years was t $640,47, or mnore than double tihe I amount now charged. We are under thie solemn impres p eion that no radical wants to wake up Mr. Ross again. Ii A Cardiff giant, supposed to be tlhe veesains of the "old Whig party" has b been dug op in Colorado. Where's ' Glendy Burke? it A nicely ironed linen duster is of, a bred in exchange for a good overcoat.

Our stock of presses, type, and paper material is full and complete and we defy competition in prices.

Roads - Bridges, Schools, Public Buildings, l &c., are utterly neglected and sadly d wanted, and the large amount col lected in the way of taxes is swallow if ed up in expenses incurred in the il trial of petty thieves and in the sala i ries of the thousand and one officials a that are saddled upon the people. s Cannot something be done to cor i- rect this abusel 'R -- -..f .-- -- ýe Marriage Licenses.

IN the Southern States, the po litical negro is no longer, so says the New York Herald, the Pomp of pow er. We beg to call the attention of the taxr-payers of this parish to the friet that by paying their taxes at once they will escape heavy penalties. But a short time remains within which to settle up their dues, which they hon estly owe as citizens, after which time the penalties, unless removed by leg islation, and that cannot occur until toolate to save property from sale, will be enforced which will more than double the amount of taxes they would now pay. Let the citizens look to it and call early on the tax collector. THe MJarshall (Texas,) Herald, ed ited by Colonel R. W. Longhery is on our table. We exchange with plea sure. d T!IE CONSTITUTIOS OF 1s68. to [Oachitia Te'ralphl.] sc Ae have taken the tronble to over c 1haul the jliriinalsl of the coilvention of '. 8I(.

A judicial systemii has been atlop od i which, in my opinion, is radically iv dfective and " ill render unicertai and inr ecure the rights to property luand the lives and liberties of the peo ple. - 3. A system of public education has ,I been adoptedl, which, in riy opinion, l1 will foice heiavy conitributions fromi id the tax-ayer of tile State and will en tirely prevent any public schools le fromi beintg carried into ellect, and in tend to prevent the risinlg gencration from being educated, and to entail upon the State a large class of igno rant inhliabitants, and will subject the State to the exclusive control of the lf ignorant and uneducated. 4.f . A system of plroscription is ad ar opted which attemipts to deprive a ie large class of citizens of the privilege of voting or holding office who are ie liable to pay taxes and assist in bear r ing the burden of government, and the manner ofl' restoration is calculated in to invite the mean and unprincipled to participate in voting and holding office, and to drive away the good and honorable. ir 5. The oath of office is inconsistent ,4 with the constitutioin, is absurd, dis e graceful and ridiculous. 6. The direct tendency of tile con C stitution, as a whole, is to engender s, and perlpetuate a state of strite be tween the citizens of the State, to I such an extent as will lead to hostile collisions, anarchy and the utter sub version of all law and government 1 ie that the adoption of the constitution 1. will drive many good citizens from Is and prevent emigration to the State, retard her progress, destroy her in ternal improvements, blight her pros r- perity, and destroy her peace and halppiness. lie respectfully asks that these rea sons be entered upon the journal of e the convertion. T. S. CRAWFORD, e Of Caldwell and Ouaclhita. U Five days subsequent, on the 7th of March, 1565. the following protest was entered by Judge Ludeling and John lBarrett, Esq., against the adop tion of tile present constitution : 'IThe undersignied iernibers of tilhe . constitutional convention of thire State of Louisiana resplectfully submit the following as some of the reasoins which impllel them to refuse to sign Sthe constitution which the conven Stion has framned: 1st. Because, in the bill of rights, social eqiuality is atteuipted to be en folrced, and the rights of citizeus to coiitrol tIheir own Iprioperty is attemnp Sed to be token frhln them for the ben efit of ithe colored race. 2d. Because a judicial system has been adopted which is radically de fective, which renders uncertain and . insecure the rights to property and the liberties of the people. S3d, Because the proposed constitu tioni dtlisfrachisei a large, influential alid intelligeut class of citizens of the SState. This is iritiolitic, dangerous and Iunljust, and is opllposed to repub lican piincillcs. 4th. Beecause a systenm of public education is forced Ul1l0o thie people, whieliy the whites who are to sup . port tihe scholol by taxes loevied on their lnroperty, will be practiclly de Sbarred of thie adviantages of tile pub lic schools. Mixed schools will not elevate the negroes, but will debase t the whites. Another effect of this system will be the neglect of the ednucation of thie colored children. 5th. The oath ofoffice is incousis . tent with the dist'ranclising clause of I thie constitution, and is absurd. ithl. The direct tendency of tihe constitution, as a whole, is to estab . lish negro supremacy inu the State. The undersigned believed that the adoption of the constitution will *drive many citizens firom and will pirevent emigration to the State, re tard her progress, destroy her in trnal imiprovements and blight her prosperity. They, therefore, respectfully ask that these reasons may be entered upon the journ'al of tile convention. JoIIN T. LUr)ELt(i. Of Ouachlita and Caldwell; JNo. L. BARRET, Of Union. The Ohio Election.
