The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-08-05

The Delta, the progressive, the avant courier Of
Liberalism has out in defence Of the old Gus
toms of the CITY, Ii adopts, too, the usual mode Of
defence by attack. II denounces the political pro-
eessons and meetings of the last campaign, and
places the spirit-stirring music of the Fillmore
Rangers and the Chalmette Guards, on par with
The melody Of RIGS lin pans and broken winded
tfumpets. The receipied music bills of the Guards
and the Rangers ruffis up in their pigeon-holes at
bare association Why, did not the ladies present
costly banners, and pour down wreaths and flowers
as the professions passed the balconies where they
thronged to greet with smiles and white handker-
chiefs the young men of both parties What sight
was more beautiful than when these professions
marched on opposite banquettes, with their rival
| bands and transpareucies, generous emulation
their only feeling of hostility and at the last great
| gathering on the neutral ground, where both par
ties met and separated with no word of insult and
no feeling of enmiiy Did not these events prove
that political differences could not endanger the
Republic!
The Delta was extremely liberal and impartial
in the distribution of is well turned compliments,
and the advertisements followed as regularly the
echo responds TO the voice.
And now, these patriots put on a par with
the performers of nocturnal annoyances and in

Improvement in the morals of the city within the
last thirty years We are not disposed to enter into
the statistics of vice on this point we willing
to trust to the observation of citizens without any
comment.
we deny the assertion of the Crescent about
the great improvement in the morals of our city.
Thirty or forty years ago. there was more morality,
honesty, purity, every thing else but sanctity,
wooden nnimegs aud blue laws, in this city, than
there is now, when we enjoy the moral teachings
of the Crescent"
ConcIbinage is now discountenanced, and we
doubt whether man living in that stale could now
receive the votes of The citizens for any office Of
honor or trust.
The Sabbath is better observed licensed gamb
| ling houses have been abolished; duelling has
nearly disappeared and the vice which does re-
main pays that tribute to a correct public sent-
ment it attempts TO conceal itself beneath the veil
of hypocrisy. Nor are we willing to give to Con-
neetcut or 10 New England the entire credit Of the
| change which has taken place within twenty-five
| yaers. In 1925, a German prince passed winter
in this city, and we ask the Delta to contrast the
scenes he draws with the state of society here now
With the other time honored customs, we say, let
the Charivari also pass away.
| THE GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI -" Why
should he be dragged from the scene of his duty TO
| NeWOreans, to answer for his conduct! Why
force him from jackson, where the State has right
| 20 expect his presence, where the United States
holds Court, which no doubt has jurisdiction in
the premises, go several hundred miles to plead
To the indictment! What charm is there abont
New Orleans that so peculiarly fits it for the trial 2!
| Miss Appeal.
The only claim of NewOrleans is, that the Of.
fence is charged to have been committed within
the limils of the Eastern District of Louisiana
And as an offence can only be tried in the courts
having territorial Jurisdiction, we do not see how
he can be tried out of this District. The demo.
cratic editors of Mississippi are first very indig,
nant because the Grand Jury of Louisiana found a
true bill against a Governor and Judge of Mssis
sppi, and now they are equally Indignant, because
the indictment is not transferred 10 Mississippi fol
trial Will the editor of the Appeal inform us o
the process by which the Indictment can be trans
erred and the Jurisdiction given 10 the Fedora
Court of Mississippi!
