JEWELS OF CONSISTENCY.

| JEWELS OF CONSISTENCY,
The anti-Americsn leaders are perfect jewels
Of consistency. There is no doubt about it-no
mistake about it-no misrepresentation about it
when all the facts Of the case are clearly un-
dsrstood. Thefact is patent, and not to be dis
puted They are the best sort Of .Nfative .a,ners.
cans in disguise, Do not be startled at this
assertion, gentle reader. We make it with all
the seriousness due a matter Of its gravity.
Right before us lay divers " old Documents :
some official and others duly signed, incontro-
| vertibly demonstrating the strict accuracy Of
our proposition! We know what we say, for We
have looked over the pages Of some of the afore-
said &c old documents and have found ample
| warrant for our conclusions.
| Hence our desire to do early and complete
justice to our opponents. Hence our wish that
the public mind should be enlightened at the
earliest possible moment, And, hence our early
action in the premises, We would not, know
ingly, do injustice to a real enemy, much less a
nominal enemy, who, judging of the future by
the past, we take to be a friend in disguise !,
We care nothing for words. Words amount to
| nothing in one instanee out Of thousand. .acts
tell the story--acts speak trumpet tongued--
acts are everything. Who cares about frothy
denunoiation and diluted vituperation, when the
parties indulging in such harmless pleasantries,
weaknesses or indulgenees-just as the reader
pleases, for we are not particular nominate for
the most important and lucrative offices, the
founders of Native .Anericaeisn in Louisiana
old, veteran, hard headed, iron-sided Ameri-
cans! 45@ -.
This is just what our opponents have DONE
On their State and parish tickets tae names Of
the authors Of Know othingism in Louisiana
are to be found Is not this convincing proof
that, while Circumstances compel them to de-
nounee us, they are, in reality, our friends }
That all Of their abuse is caused BY necessity /?
That they are Americans at heart, and are
silly doing all they can for US, by putting ma
tiyes forward whenever opportunity presents
itself'
For three Of the best and most important
offices within the gift Of the people Of Louisiana
our opponents have nominated the originators
and first founders of the Native American Order
in the Southwest We will proceed to give the
names Of these patriotic and fortunate gentle
men, who saw and endeavored to provide for,
many years ago, the very evils which led to the
organization Of the present American party.
First on the list comes the name of the Hon
Thomas Green Davidson, anti-American oandi-
date for Congress in the Third District. We
have before us an old pamphlet, the title-page
of which reads as follows: 'sAddress to the
People Of the United States, by the Louisiana
Native American State Convention. Together
with the Proceedings Of the Convention. Feb
ruary ~, 1871. New Orleans. Printed at the
Native American office, 1841." In CHANGING
hastily at the proceedings we find Mr.. D. moving
for a total "repeal Of the naturalization
lascs." What is quoted are the words of por-
ton of resolution offered by him The Ameri-
canism Of Mr.. D. in 1841 was far stronger than
The Americanism of the present era. A COM
nittee was appointed to prepare an address,
which was signed by the delegates to the Con-
rention, and thus authoritatiyely promulgated.
That address took stronger grounds against
oreigners, foreign influence and adopted citi-
'ens generally, than was taken by the American
t"eAoA13A ~NNhSii "e hAA64Cipulhs Ut Luo GGat6
Council of Louisiana, which met in New Orleans
IN the Fourth of July last, or any other Council
If the proceedings of which we are advised
We shall make some appropriate extracts from
he address as soon as time and opportunity |
'erve. We have several deleetable passages
marked.
As we have said before, the " Address, was
igned by Col. Davidson, candidate for Congress
n the Third District.
Tt was also signed by VIM. G. Aud, candidate
OF Clerk of the Fourth District Court of the |
'arish Of Orleans-a highly lucrative and i'm
ortant office.
1t was also signed by A. W. scates, candidate
Or Tax Collector Of the First District-a very
esponsible and valuable office.
We think we have now made out our case
onclusively. But, for fear some hard heads
I'LL miaapprehend our position, we shall pursue
ur researches until call the world and the
est of mankinda are fully convinced. Will
ONE one resurrect the pamphlet of 1889, and
end it to u.s. By so doing, favor will be
We have loaned our copy, and never
xpect to get 1t back.
