POLITICAL C.ap7,..

We may have queer ideas concerning son,
things; but we must frankly confess, that W
prefer 20 be ruled by aristocrats with order, IA
Their than BY Jacobins with disorder We hav
the smallest possible respect for that class G
people, who are cternally crying out their abso
lutte devotion to & the dear people, and bitldn
every body take heed Of their disinterested de
nnnciation of that republican scare crow calle
I. the naughty and inscriptions monied aristo
cracy. When these noisy gentry call out i,
this style, we know exactly what they mean
humbug and what they want-the people,
votes and dimes. All their queer capers car
raise no dust through which the eye Of common
senss cannot clearly see their real cupidity Of
popular favor and patronage. They set up a
fictitious monster Of rags and bran, and then
they show their wonderful power and immense
patriotism by violently dsmolishing it.
Such has been the cours4pf the few--the very
few opponents, Of the benefcent Constitution,
which il to rid our State of the old one They
I represent the new Constitution as the criminal
work Of cruel, grasping aristoorats! Only seven
Or eight members Of the Convention refused,
upon the final question, TO vote for the new
Constitution So it follows, that all but seven or
eight were grasping, cruel, unscrupulous aris-
tocrats; and, ergo, that the very green people
OF Louisiana had no better sense than to choose
come ninety and odd aristacratic traitors to
cheat them out Of their rights! There you are.
people of Louisiana Out of one hundred and
twenty five delegates according to these gen.
tlemen versed in violent TERMS you chose nine
~ eight traitors or fools-K enner, Carter, Eus-
It's Guion, Campbell, Conrad, Roman, Parham
Hunt, Phillips, King, Mathews, Where, Jen-
nings, Palfrey, Ronquillo, etc.--only eight true
mem and nine baoksliders IF this be true,
people OF Louisiana, are you able to take care
Of yourselves Why did you not elect some of
these wolfsh candidates for pay and patronage,
who now tell you you were fools Then you
might have had a Constitution, and sueh Con-
stitution!
Let us illustrate Let us magnify animaleu.
lac INTO seeming Of denonstrative anatomical
subjects. There was a small meeting held in
this city, night or two since 1t was gotten up
by political lshmaelites, and by that precious
class Of newly bearded gentry called g Young
America" A few Of the regular officers at all
democratic party meetings (why should the new
Constitution be made a party question y offiei-
ated, and set of most soleulnly ludricious reso-
iutlons we're duly reported to this assemblage,

On which his genius might effulge And it did
efulge and, with all our respect for gentlemen
who are much cleyerer socially than they are |
otherwise, We cannot bat say they succeeded in
making themselves specially amusing,
Let us commence with the commencement.
Mr. WI. A. Robertstwe believe we have not
missed an initial) announced himself as the
originator Ct the agitation against the new Con-
atitution. Every body, we presume, knows Mr..

iemen Of the State, Of either party, are within
orty miles Of the Eve presume) worthy and re-
pectahle young gentleman who set the anti
Constitution ball in motion. Hear how Young
america is reported Officially
4 He had initiated the movement in regard to thts
osed constitution. He had proposed resolutions in Tie
ierce Pioneers, Of which he had the honor Of being
emoeF on .his snblect Those resolutions opposed
az re Withdrew them to aeeure harmony But when he
nem 1t IVES with holy faith that the people
Their primary assemblies would vindicate their own
and assert their inalienable rights "
So, We have the testimony Of this newly found
oung Moses Of Louisiana politics, that that
ny respectable body, g the Pierce Pioneers
'uld not harmonic in vindicating sc the intel /
gence Of the people and their " inalienable
ghts What do ss,the Pierce Pioneers. I
