OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THE LEFT. y

| The Courier Of the Goth contains rathe,
| singular article, to one or two of the points o
which we propose to allude. Referring to tht
loft-exploded and mendacious charge that tn,
Americans of Louisiana were religious proscrip.
tionists in Disguise it proceeds to insult the in
telllgenoe and honesty of those it would fam
win over to its side, by the use of the following
language:
Is not State the arena Of the most unbushing n.y.
pocrsy and deception that attempted upon
intelligent people, where these sleek wnking Angosaxon
Know Nothings pour into the ears Of our credous
suspetins Louisiana Cyeoes and Catholics such deusive
pretexts that they not enemies OF the Catholics
that they eschew all religious iuolerance whilst they
are in constant association and sympathy with the
cutting narrowmnded bgots who have taken the lead in
all the movements Of this party ia the other States and
resolved its whole object and spirit into an active and
remorseess hostility to the Catholic religion! MUSES. Fl
9 Credulons, nnsuspecting Louisiana Creoles
and Catholios!" The aforesaid 50 Creoles y and
stCatholics" ought to be under everlasting
obligations to the Courierfor the complimentary
information thus vouchsafed gratis, for we pre-
amount to in sober, unpostio English! A lite
raj translation would read about as follows
Why, you !. credulous and unsuspecting' fools
and doits, don't you see that these diabolical
6 Anglo Saxon Know-N othings'' are using you
to advance their own purposes, which, once
effected, will result in vide spread ruin to you !?
stupids, can't you see'
of course, the parties thus enlightened will,
each and every one of them, take off their
hats and make boW-a profound bow--a de-
ferential bow-a bow 'sas is a bow when
they pass the establishment of our venerable
contemporary on Customhouse street. We don't
see how they can do any thing less.
But, seriously, and to take another view Of
the matter. Why should the Courier talk to
intelligent, active, educated, shrewd men-as
the "Creoles /" generally AREAS though they
we're children, without it intended to cast q
humiliating slur upon them? So far as our
knowledge extends, and it is not as circum-
scribed as it might be, the Creoles are neither
& credulous' nor g unsuspeoting" neither soft
heads nor sap-heads their honor or in
terests are ct stake
But, If ever party was formed in which a
class could repose complete, 6 unsuspecting"
confidence, the American party of Louisiana is
sn@e PnASJs uuu tue SFSoleS OF LOUISIANA are
that class. The composition of the ticket pre-.
sented to the people for their suffrages triumph
antly sustains US in our assertions There it
is. Behold it and contemplate it, From it's
head to its foot it proscrbes sectarian proscrip-
lion. The platform of principles on which it
rests is also clear and unmistakable. In the face
If such overwhelming evidences, the tongue of
The demsgogue should be silent the voice Of the
landerer should become mute; and the defamer
md asperser should straightway go to work and
earn another trade. In the name of common
tense, leaving everything else out Of the cues
ion, why should men seek to misrepresent and
listort that which is as plain to the people of
he State as the sun at midday which is read
everywhere which is published every where
md which is understood everywhere?
The Courier asks: " Is not our State the
arena of the most unblushing hypocrisy and de-
,eption,'' etc. No, il is not, SO far as the Amer
can party is concerned There may be. for
4ught we know, " Hypocrisy and deception " in |
ne ranks Of the anti-Americans, but those
ices are unknown to the American Order; they
re not indigenous to the American soil; they
10 not thrive in American hearts and are re- |
Undated by all true Amerioans-by all honest
nen.
