The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-11-30


The Courier is becoming excessively ferocious in
its way Its issue of last evening contains another
of its characteristic attacks on this paper, 1t Is
singular fact that it never makes an open, direct
and tangible charge. 1t strikes under of in
uendoes and insinuations, proposes interrogato'
res implying charge, but as soon as lis blows
resented and its attacks repealed, it slides out by
denying that any such had been made This mode
of warfare is unfair as it is unmanly.
The iusinuatiOn contained in the heading Of the
Courers article, that the Crescent has attacked
the Republicans of France and nsulted Naturalizsd
Citizens, is all gas and without the shadow oil iouh'
dation, as every fair-minded and candid reader
must see from reading the paragraph quoted rom
our remarks. We only said what we are sustained
in hv the testimony of thousands of our adopted
fellow citizens, that an individual who took reluge
from onnression in this land, which was wisely
constituted nv our fathers IAN asylum for the OPP
nrsssed of all nations" had, in our Judgment,
brsed the privileges conferred him. The writer
| or the article complained of has never been IN the
| SLIGHTEST deeree tinctured with Native American
| ism in his politics His paternal grandfather was
| an Irshman, and his maternal grand father Ger
man. Both were adopted citizens 1t is, therefore,
natural enough, that he should be most decidedly
warm and cordial in his feelings and sympathies to.
wards all such, when by their conduct, they render
themselves worthy the rights and privileges guar
antied to them by our laws.
The Courier, with a great flourish of trumpets,
asks if one of the editors OF the Crescent has not
often derided republican government, and been
heard to advocate broad social distinctions, and
declare preference for limited monarchy or an
aristocracy OF learning and wealth, to any other
form of government, which would make distnc-
ton between gentlemen and the rabble We
cannot believe it possible that the editor OF the
Courier could believe any man on oath who would
give an affirmative answer to this interrogatory.
Though we consider such charge, even in the
humanity form of an interrogatory, most lllberaI
and unworthy the source from whence it comes,
we unhesitatingly reply that the inslnuaton is false
| and libeous come from what source it may.
| Neither the author of the article complained of as
attacking the republicans of France or insulting to
naturalized citizens nor any one of his associate
| editors, ever held any such views uttered any
| such sentiments. But really such charge is too
absurd and ridiculous to merit serious notice. II
the editor is DESTROYS to go into general investl-
cation of private and personal history, he can be
| accommodated, We have no sort Of objection to
| compare notes with him.
We were under the impression that feter 0oule,
the Young Lawyer" alluded to by the Duke OF
SAKE Weimer, in his travels, left France before it
became Republic; and to escape from political
| prosecutions under Monarchy. If we are right
in this, what possible bearing could our remarks
have had upon the republicans of France 1t is
pretty clear, we think, that our contemporary was
| mighty hard run for something to say.
We ask the Courier, in turn-and if the question
| be not answered, we may find number of per
| soas to answer ibid not MIR Soule make
| speech in the spring of 1913, in which he took
| ground against the establishment of Republic in
France, for the that the French people were
| not prepared for it p?
