DECENCY AND PROPRIETY

In the last issue of the American Patriot,
we have some of the finest specimens of good
manners and courteous proprety, over the left,
that is to be found in any of the political jour-
mails of the times. The whole democratic par
ty is referred to, in language, Objectionable in
the extreme. 1t is not only called corrupt,
but it is nnblushingly charged upon it, that
they will stop at no means, however base to
carry their point at the election. Can any
thing be more unjust, more uncalled for, and
further from the truth In East Feliciana, at
least, we had hoped, that no such charge could
be made against us, by native of the Parish
especially, when he once belonged to that par.
ty, and still claims to be democrat. A great
majority OF the voters of this Parish, are either
natives OF the Parish, or of the United States
There is not one voter in thirty who is for.
eigncr by birth, How, then, is this wholesale
fraud to be perpctrated He who steals ano-
Tiers goods, is sometimes the first to cry out,
:" Stop thiefw 1t may be true that our oppo-
nents desire nothing but what is right. If so,
no one will br deprived of his right to vote,
who is entitled to do so by law,--neither will
any one vote who is not SO entitled Equal

All other arts failing to defeat the elec.
ton Of this gentleman, it is now whined in
some corners Of the Parish, that he did
not want the office y "that it was forced
upon him." and, 4" that he can live without
it," Were it not, that the know nothing
party in this section, had long since got
beyond the blushing point, we would ex-
pect to see some little coloring at this an
nouncement. Why, according to their own
showing, Mr.. Patterson is the only man
they ought to vote for! He did not seek the
office; he did not elcctioneer for it; he
resorted to no arts to defeat any competi-
tor; but the unanimous suffrages of a
great party, unsolicited by him, sought him
out, and placed him where he now is

Mr.. DreuX'S Speech.

This gentleman on Monday last addressed a
portion of his fellow citizens in the court house
AS speaker he is deliberate, and selfpossess-
ed, and had he the right side of the question,
would no doubt, do justice to himself, and the
subject, but unfortunately for him he was ON
the wrong side. The very first position he as
sumed, carried wthit, its own refutation. He
said that in 1852, when the great and glorious
democratic party triumphed in the election of
Mr.. Pierce and he was installed as President
this great party died. Who is so silly as to
believe such an assertion, after the recent elec-
tions in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania, and Maine. No man acquainted with /
the political history of the country can, for
moment entertain such an opinion. Most Of
his arguments were on par with this
But that which we condemn in the speech of
Mr. Dreux, as more Objectionable, than any
thing else, was his inhammato appeals to the
followers of Sam, to go to the ballot-box, and
defend it, with their lives if necessary and told
his audience that was the way they were 60
ing to do in New Orleans. This counselng
of violence, we consider uncalled for, and OBJ
jectionable in the extreme. If our laws are
not sufficiently strong to prevent fraud, let
them be amended, but we protest against any
man, or set Of men, taking the laws into their
own hands, and depriving any portion Of our
fellow citizens from voting at the polls, because
they may happen to think they are not enti-
tied legally to vote If any man votes,
who is not legally entitled to do SO, he is lia-
bic to be prosecuted and punished severely by
law. What more can any man desire, who
wants justice and right to prevail The demo
Gratis are as far, from wishing any one to vote
who is not legally entitled to do SO, as our
know nothing brethren, can possibly be- II
they desire nothing but what is right, they

This talented and energetic corps gave their first
performance on last Tuesday evening. The attend
ance was not as large as we anticipated 1t would
have been, and although respectable as to number,
II was entirely too small an audience for the dcserv.
ed encouragement to which they are entitled. We
missed too the familiar faces Of many who gave 1t
their favor and patronage the last season.. This we
trust did not arise from lukewarmness on their part
But to the play. Don Cesar de Bazan was well rep
resented. although one of the principal performers
was suffering severely from indisposition Our fa-
vorite, the life and embodiment Of the company the
Mariana of the drama, was truly herself. and the
recess of the past few months seemed to have added
new life, and new vigor to her delineatons Our
space forbids us to 60 further into detail. We must
close with the music. Under the direction Of Mr..
Moses, the Orchestra has been largely increased In
number, and we doubt much, II any town in the

array of musical talent.

From the Platte Argus, Extra.
War Declared by the indiana.
ST.. JOSEPH, May 1913 P. \

I. Oh ST., JosEPH, May 1913
Col: Vaughn, Indian Agent from Fl. Pierre,
arrived in town yesterday evening. He states
that the Indians on the Plains are in very
unsettled condition, in fact assuming hostile
attitude. The Black Feet, Apaches and Sioux,
Manacunques, Sansarc and Yanctnos, banded
in mighty host, and soothing existing treaties,
have unburied the hatchet, and bid defiance to
the powers that be. These tribes, combined
with the Brulays and Ogalalies of the Platte,
numbering at q small calculation 5000 war;
riors, have thrown up Notifications on Dream
ing Bull at the source of Grand River, and
are not only ready but anxious to meet any
force that the Government may send against
them; emboldened by the ease with which
they massacred our soldiers in the late Skin
mishes, and remarking the terror ever since
manifested by the whites in their necessary
intercourse with them, they SCOT at the power
of the United States to dislodge them from
their stronghold. The Assineboines, Riccaries,
Crovatres and Mandatnes, having the fear of
the four new regiments before their eyes, have
told their agent, COL Vaughn, in council, that
they will not only aid and abet, but furnish
material assistance in subduing their refracto-
ry brethren.
Messrs. Galveston & Lewis were taken pris-
oners by the Yanctnos, between Fort Union
and Fort Pierre but released on surrendering
their effects and promising to decamp The
latter named gentleman is from st. Louis.
The Colonel states there is no snow in the
mountains, so we may expect no rise in the
river from that quarter.
