Re--'s Gilt Eh Tni r nta laria Red's~ G~ilt· Etlgo Tonic pre~ventlt Mlalria If our esteemed ldrlen Jbtut .. e of the CAPLr) ,A, desires to "fight his battles o'er" and follow Lee, Jack son, and otherq in politics, as well as war, he can do so with our best wish es. We shall not attack his patriot ism, his heart, or his honor, when he chooses to do so. Havinyg cried a musket under the great Lee, we con sider we have done our duty to him and the "cause." The Confederacy is gone and we are not sorry of it, no matter how much we may and do grieve for those who died- in its de foense. If it is the purpose of the South to continue the "fight of that Confederacy" undereoverof the Dem ocratic organization we beg to be ex cused. We have an opportunity this time to protest against Secession, Sla very and State Sovereignty-and we intend"to do it. If Democracy cannot live without those things it should die--Natchitoches Vindicator. We have never understood it to be the purpose of the Democratic party to tight anew the lost battles of se cession and still worse those for sla very, both of which we consider among the issues that time has totally buried. As to State sovereignty, in so far as the term relates to the exercise of the right of local self government under the constitution of the United States, we have to say that we con sider it an issue which will never die. While we do not like to assume the role of a prophet, we venture to assert that there will always exist in this country a host of freedom-loving men, battling against a cen tralization of power in the hands of those at Washington, who, as the delegates of the States, are invested with those powers only which the constitutiol prescribes. We will always oppose any political party which believes that the Presi dent or Congress may, at their pleas ure, set up or upset the governments organized by the people of the States. We want no more bayonet rule! We propose to be loyal to the Union and the constitution, which we have sworn to support. In doing so, however, we do not intend to express other sentiments than those we enter tain. We c'an't say that we are glad the South wa. whipped, nor that the cause we lfought for was an un righlteous one. We love the South, v\e:ll'rate the memory of' her great nmun, antd will always feel proud to renimember that we wore the grey and marched under the banners of the "Con fedetate, lhrigadiers." We have no intention of helping to revive a cause that was overwhelmed at A\ppomnatox, but we do mean to act with the party that will allow the l''l,pk le of Louisiana to regulate their Ino oam side we lind the Iepubli c~i. a palrty that makes of the con sdtitution an elastic instrument, which it does not feel bound to respect; and lcontronting it, the )enmoceratic, a pauty that fiavors an honest adher ec'lce to the stipulations of a charter of rights which excites the admira tion of mankind, drafted by the foun ders of this glreat Anmerican Republic. HLence, we are unwaveringly a Democrat. We can't see where our dashing confrere, Cosgrove, wants to lead the people with whom he gallantly car ried a musket. Consequently, we'll stay where the Democratic stantdards are planted. It is a good place, one where firee and liberty-loving men can weil afford to remain. -- ,~--- MOTHER NHIPTON'5 PROPHECY. July 13th, 1881 To thl. Edito' of tle, CArl'rlTho N: Since the advent of the current year, the minds of the superstitious have been much exercised over the predictions of Mother Shipton. The abnormal heat, the flaming comet, the Washington tragedy, have all helped to convince them that the year I~l is to be one of great disaster, if not one of general destruction, and the supernatural wisdom of "Mother Shipton" is readily confided in by the credulous. It may therefore not be out of place to publish the following extract from the Alhendum of June lt.h, and set at rest the minds of the people. "In a bookling ofsixty-four small quarto pages called ('Mother Ship ton iunvestigated," Mr. WV. 11. Iarli soin t of Museum Street, London, has brought together all that can be col lect'd regarding that mythical per sotnage who goes by thie name of "lMother Shipton." It seems that for wo, o' three hundred years or so, thent has been tloating a mass of more or less fioolish stuff, which credulous peoiple call prophecy attributed to Mother Shipton--and which has steadily been growing in bulk as a nmatter ofcourse. This rubbish re ceived a veryr notable accession when purpo2rted "s t > be. tion" published In 1448, and repub. lished in 1641 by "Mlother Shipton.'l That such dull doggerel ;,siuld ever have been taken as serio or accepb ted as the genuine language of the 17th century, not to mention the 15th is sufficiently surprising, but the "an cient prediction" flnished up with an awful climax : ''The world to an endshallcome, In eighteen hundred ad eightyone." This terrifit denunciation has been exercising the publiAotindi Our read ers will be relieved 1`i - they learn that the "ancient pon" was a hoax, and that on 26th of April 1873, Mr. Chas. Hindley of Brighton, wrote to the editor of notes and quer ies and made a clean breast of having fabricated the whole prophecy. LEONARD W. SEWELL. "It is understood here," says the Charleston News, "that for some time past Senator Hampton has been col lecting full data in regard to the burn ing of Columbia, in order to settle once for all the responsibility of the crime upon Sherman in snch a way that he cannot escape the conviction of the world; and in view of Sher man's recent denial, it is presumed that the publication of the evidence will be made at an early day." The following was written in Texas but it will apply, unhappily, to more Legislatures than one: "A member of the late unlamented Legislature was called to the witness stand in a civil suit not long. since. He did not pay much attention to the questions that were asked him, so the judge spoke up and said : "Mr. Blank, you will please pay attention to what you are saying. Rlememuber you are not in the Legislature at present." GoV. WWIrzT.--We had the pleas nre of meeting the Governor, on Roy al Street, on Monday, and afterwards at his office. We were glad to see him much improved in appearance. He speaks cheerfully of the future and intends soon to estallish himself for the remainder of the summer, at Abita Springs, in St. Tammany, where lie is conltiden,. he will so re gain his health as to be able to re sume the active exercise of his fune tions this coming fill. The good wishes of his fr'iends and fellow-citi zens generally will doubtless join him in his hoples. Leedi's (ilt Edgt' Tonic cures Duimb Ague. NE W AD) VE RTISEIIMENT', Su gntar Cured?!
