CONSISTENCY

During a short visit to the Bayou Teche, in
this Parish, q few days since, we were told that
the Ants were industriously circulating there
another Of those most infamous SANDERS against
us for which they have rendered themselves SO
notorious in the present canvass. They report
that MIR. Olivier said, in one Of his late speeches
in our Parish, that " Jesus Christ was a worth
less fellow x" que Jesus Christ stait IN polls
son." -.
We will give, in substance, Mr.. olivier's
language out Of which originated this malicious
falsehood. In comparing the American ticket
with that Of the Ants, Mr.. Olivier showed
that there were on ours, not only more Cath
olics than there were on theirs, but that the
most important Office, that of Governor, was
represented by a Catholic on our ticket.
" But" continued Mr.. O., "we have another
advantage over you in the composition Of our
ours is composed entirely of Christians,
while on yours, you have a man (Moise being
a jew who, if asked his opinion Of Jesus
Christ, would answer that "Jesus Christ was
worthless fellow"
Gentlemen, you heard this, but true to your
old instincts, you are determined to be con
sistent in your dirty work.

The mode y2af electioneesibg by the opposi-
IN is SO tor{Sous that it y difficult to follow
Dem. But n ore wideSawake, and under
stand their tactics.
Ten Know othings who had been induced
to withdraw, in. consequence Of the erroneous
representations made to them BY the ants,
have, within the last two days, sent in counter
letters annulling their Withdrawals, and re-
a~uesting to be considered as members Of the
order. $500
They shave also furnished us with the. argn-
ments used to induce them to withdraw. we
place them under three heads. s9s1d "
Isl, They were informed that our orators de-
nounced their religion and that Mr.. Olivier
in . public speech at Opelousas, had deanoanc7

tore IN poisson ct un imposte,v:.r" ~,

destroy the Catholic religion, pull down the
Catholic Church and drive Catholics out of
the country. f5l 5E3a 2f.
3D.. They were told that their wivesswould
no longer be permitted to 60 to church, and if
they attempted it they 'uoud be kicked on"
Some Of these arguments ? were used BY
q speaker at a pnblic meeting composed exclu-
sively Of ants, as we learn from the members
who have returned to us. On ascertaining that
they had been listening to a tissue of false
hoods, without parallel in a political campaign
they have returned to American principles,
and furnished us with the names Of their sedu-
GERS, and the means by which they were seek
ing to accomplish their ends.
We announce these facts without making
any comments. They furnish abundant food
for reflection, in the minds of w~ell-disposed men.

THE NEW TICKET OF THE LOUIS.

THE NEW TICKET OF THE LOUIS.
ANA COURIER AND TRUE DELTA. y
From the French side Of the Louisiana Cour-
Ter, we learn that there has been a meeting Of
a branch Of the Know-Nothings, as the Cour-
Ter says, at NewO orleans, which was
ously attended by representatives from every
parish in the State. The object Of the CON
%vention was to nominate a /" National Ameri.
can Ticket" and to endorse the Eighth Article
Of the Philadelphia Platform. The same high
authority adds that q State ticket was accord
ingly nominated, which would be announced
in a few days.
y the superstition that the Courier has
spoken the truth, the reported proceedings Of
the convention only fortify the position of our
party ON the Catholic question. If such a
convention was held, it was for the purpose of
hak'ng issue wiM us on that question, which
proves conclusively that we are the friends of
Catholics and the supporters of religious toler-
alton. If not why nominate a new ticketi
But the announcement Of the Courier bears
intrinsic evidence of falsehood. 1t is not prob
able that delegates from the country Parishes
would throw themselves in the midst of a most
fatal epidemic in NewOrleans, for the purposes
indicated by the Courier. This journal saws
every PARISH was represented. Who went from
from st. Landry? How many members COM
posed the convention? Where are the resolu-
tons they adopted? If the Courier speaks for
fh1f marty ~ rrh H. 1->a- I'll .H r 4H
In keeping with the foregoing, the True
Delta, the organ Of the foreigners in NewOr-
leans, contains an advertisement, announcing
the candidates Of this " numeroasly attended
convention" Those candidates are our own,
with the exception of Derbigny aud Du-
ralde' Ihe nominations appear in that paper,
without comment OF. authority, in the shape Of
an advertisement, which any person NAV insert
BY paying for it. The True Delta, it will be
remembered, last spring, announced to the
world that our party had met and nominated
a ticket, which this paper published in its
columns. The announcement of LAST snr;,r
proved to be a falsehood, and the published
ticket the invention of the editors. Having
perpetrated q falsehood on a former Occasion
does not render them very credible witnesses
at the present time.
The Courier and True Delta have now
strong motives to mislead the public. The
former is the organ of the administration. and
Inc latter of the foreign population. They de-
size 10 create a diversion in favor Of their res,
'ec'lve patrons and supporters. But false
hoods are rife and the people are too much On
he alert to be deceived. r' 1888 "

Grand River, Sept. 10th, 1855.
Comment is unnecessary. The turpitude Of
the transaction speaks for itself. It furnishes
however q mirror, in which some of the ants
in st. Landry, may see their own conduct. In
several instances, brought to our knowledge
by the parties themselves, individuals here have
been forced to sign letters of withdrawal, con-
trary to their convictions Of right. The means
resorted to have been as diversified as the
characters of the men employed TODD the work,
We could very conveniently furnish, in two or
three instances, the names Of parties, the means
resorted to, the exact scenes Of operations and
all the attendant details. We are not disposed,
however, to expose the names of individuals,
who no doubt act on the principle that thee end
justifes the means. But we cannot regulate
the action Of the men themselves. who have
been made the victims. 1t will be strange if
they DO not pursue the course adopted by Mr..
Leblanc Of Iberville, and expose some Of the
actors in these debasing scenes.
Have the ants no principles to advocate,
that they must resort to such contemplate de-
vices? Have they no arguments to urge in
favor Of their ticket, that they must inebriate the
weak, in order to coerce them into their ranks?
is their cause so desperate, are their hopes so
frail, or their claims upon the popular suffrage
so feeble, that they must resort to means and
appliances alike pernicious to public morals,
and repulslve to oil honorable men?
