To oun R!ADERS.--WO are publish
In;g, in this issue, two commanications,
one in English, the other in Fýench ;
both of them relative to the next
election. Although we have adop
ted the rules of not inserting articles
of a personal pature, still, the otice.
Seekers are so numerous this year,
their friends eo anxious to see their
favorite candidate elected, that hav
Ing already inserted two pievious
Comasuicatioiu, we cannot refuse to
"Vieille Riviere" and "Country Talk"
the same favor. Our terms for such!
articles are the same fr every one.
Let the candidates and their friends
take good notice of it,
Parrv hanR !--Freight for this
place is charged I y several boats at
a high rate --the complaint is gener
a'. For instance, we had to pay
$1 00 for dry and $1.25 for wet har
rela, when at Grand Ecore, the same
freight is charged by regular Boats
50. and 71 cen-s,
It becomes the duty of our citizens
to take this matter in due considera
tion, as it will be useless for us to
send orders hereafter, through some
Boats, who perhaps, will make but a
single trip in our Cane and Little
givetr.
We like to see everybody do;ng
somethitg, bnt,dislike to hear fre
qaeatly that our friends are the via

Sra t[Ea . SAIlToA;.-Our old expe
rilnced Capt. John C. Dowty, is
comniig regularly to oie port with
his fast aid splendid passengrr
PACKET SARATOCA. WC WelCOme him,
as for punctuality in the business
entrusted to his care, and the really
tnagnuiicent accomo atiIns on board,
none can do better. Families are
anxious to 'secure their roona, and
all say that "tr'avelling with the Sar
atoga reminds them of the (Iil days."
Capt. D. is well identilied wit 1 our
Parish, and certainly deserves a good.I
share of the planter's patronage.
The Saratoga will leave ogain to
morrow, Sunday, for New Orleans.
A SPLENDID liNE OF lrDo RIVER
PAcKETs.--Capt's, Sinnott, Adams aind
Wayne, have estabFshed, some time
since, e oe of the beat line of Packets
for the Rd Ritver trade. The Ala.
barns, Louis d'Or and NKitioinl, are
connectled in Ihis useful enterprise
ani the shippers, merchants or llmn
ters will give a marked preference to
a Company offering all the advtan
tages of a long practice in our rivers,
and having besides on board of their
boats, Captains of energy, and well
recommended for their integrity and
punctuality in bus1ness. Thie accom
modations on board of this popular
line are unsurpassed, The table is
sumptuous and attended to by polite
waiters.
In anothey column will be found
the advertisement of {this C, mpany.
Shippers, Plantders or Travellers can
depend upon the days of departure,
as the Captains arc very punctual.
Fr.Nxcis JoserI'-Al, xander I)u
mas thus describes Franecis Joseph,
mperor of Austria :
"ie is a man some thirty-six or
seven yearis old. Hle is tall. thin, but
evidently !,ossesses great bodily vig.
or ; his tixed eye, well arched cye
brow, straight nose a:d well atlrked
chin, give him the appnarande of a
man f a determined will, to which
his thick whiskers and long mous.
tache contributeo additional evidence.
His complexion is brown, but this
dark coating must have been spread
on his face by the cold and wind.-
lie is ford of field sports, and to lor
sun them he disrcgaris the worse
weather, lie is, with all this, hand
some, but with that masculine beau
ty in which strength is more l)p oi
nent than grace. W'men may dis
cans his beauty; men cantot. lie
rises at five o'clock A. M ; reads all
the letters, demands and petitions
addressed to him, and makes notes
oun them. His wonted residence is
Schoeubrun, where he occup)ies the
apartment occupied by the Emperor
Napoleon in 1805 and 1800. This
double legend of Napoleon's visit
and the death of the Duo do Reich
stadt fills the whole of this palace,
which has nothing remarkable about
It. The young Emperor of Austria
iives amid this double souvenir, hav
ing it is said, real admiration for
Napoleon and a pious pity for the
Due de Reichstadt.
Acquire honesty; seek humility;
practise economy.
A young man idle is an old man needy.
Knowledge of our duties is the most
iiael part of philosophy.

Go Save the President !
This trite patriot, and really able
statesmoan, has added another laurel
to his crowni of glory, by vetoing the
bill falsely called a "Civil Rights
Bill." Our readers have, we hope ere
this, read his Veto Message, in which
the designs of the conspirators are
exposed, andl the tnue nature of our
IGioverulient proclaimed iih terms
which, couiing from a "tailor," are
really astonishing. Mr. Johniisoni's
thoughts swell beyond his words
:Ind give them a great weight and
dignity, Above all his great heart
otverflowing with love for his country
with sylntpathy 'for the oppressed cit
izens of his native section, with pity
for the poor, helpless, deluded ne
groes. gives a tone to his speeches
anmd messages which never fails to
wake corresponding emotions in the
hearts of those of his hearers who
are not steeped in the bitterness and
gall party hatred.
The man who closes a revolution
deserves far more credit than be who
begins it or successfully conducts it.
Abraham Lincoln, in carrying on the
war, had aconrparatively easy task.
The war itself furnished him with
excuses for acts which, in a state of
peace, would have been justly re
garded as insufferably despotic. But
thi, despotism, this dictatorship, and
the impunity attached to it, weire im
possitble to his successor. We con
sider that Mr. Lincoln gained even
by the tragical and awful death which
removed him from the Presidency,
His reputation, such as it was, bril
liant ard enviable as his wairmest
adilirers may consider it, could not
whomi Mr. Johnson hia. retained outl
of respect for his liifltmry shaw is1
what Lincoln hititself might have be
cOIIIt if lie hid Ibe iei stj'iaed to tike
charge of the htet of e affais during
the stityn which iadical intoleraunce
anid faiatlicisin has raised. The best
for the pist: and we must regard it
as clearly Providentiail that al inan
like Andrew Johnson. was called to
the direction of our Goverlnment in
its otoist trying hour.
For a wI hole year lie has struggled
to accomplish the desire of all good
men -peace and perfect reconstruc
tion-without breaking with the
party that elected him, and without
yielding to the intemperate zeal and
excited triumph of that party. He
has in word and in deed shown his
anxiety to save tlhe Union in the par
ty which claims for itaself the name
of Union. Accused of thtrowing
himself into the hands of the "rebels,"
of Ithe coppertwads, of the Demo
crats, not a single nomination of his
for any office can be pointed out in
which the person nominated belong
ed to either of the proscribed classes.
Assailed in the halls of Congress by
demagogues and traitors in lan
guage which, save in Congress, in
heard nowhere among decent men,
hle has in all his messages treated
his opponents like what they ought
to be, but are not, gentlemen. On
the 22d of February, in obedience to
a call from the only sovereign whom
lie acknowledges, the people, he
named three of the conscious, intelli
gent traitors lwho are laboring to
overthrow the Government and D.
D.'d (doufled damned) a filthy, con
temptible official, wlihose name his
audience forced upon him. Hlis lan
guage on this occasion was ho slan
ders because it was true ; it was no
detraction, because the interests oft
society required, and therefore Chris
tian charity anthorized him to pro
claim, the truth. The Rldicals roar
ed in their agony, a,l attempted to
heal those wounds by characterizing
the President's speech as undignified
and ungentlemanly. Have our read
ers ioticed how very few (we don't
remenber one) of the Radical papers
have dared to ch'aracteriic that
speech as false? We coild not,
however, expect his enemies to pfaise
that speecl, nor do We care to claim
for it all the encomimiums pronounc
edl upon it by his friends ; but we con
sider thie opinion of foreigners as en.
titled to much weight. The English
press speaks of it as "a speech
entirely free from tawdry ornament or
ambitious metaphor, but conveying the
firmest determination and the most en
lightened principles in the plainest and
simplest languw ge."
In that speech kndrew Johnson
defined his position, proclaimed him
tff a Union nman for the sake of" the
- Union; a (oe to treason and traitors
South and North, and President of
the whole Republic, even if his life
were demanded as an earnest of his
sincerity. It was hardly a declara
.ion of war ;:gainst tihe Thalicals, but
ratlir a last warning, a final appeal
to them ti .)Ily for the sui pl,rt ffl:e
I..niUl and the tC tsiit tilt, n fuIr whicl
they had fought and bled, and whicii
trait ws aid c( nspir^ators, whiom he

As a warning., an atlr'it, it was

their cll;lrts ti delfeat his pilliiv, aind
we bhilieve that they have forced
war upoln hin ini their late mst atro
cious act of trea:son: vainly disguisei
as a Civil lights Bill.
