TO FOREIGNERS.

We would call the attention of adopted cti-
zens to the following liberal and tolerant opin-
ion of Thomas Green Davidson, as expressed
in the address he signed in 1871. 1t must be
recolected that Mr.. Davidson was only four
teen years younger than lie is now, and would
rot be likely to give a hasty opinion
"IF THE REAL STATE OF THE CASE COULD BE

POWER IN THE VARIOUS STATES, AND VOTING AS

Betting on Elections.

There is nothing so antagonistic to the gen.
uine spirit of our institutions, there isnothing
so destructive to sound political morality
upon which our prosperity and our country's
destiny so much depends as betting on e'ec-
tions This practice is quite common even
among many of our best citizens, who seem
never to have thought of the criminality Of
the thing Or looked to its consequences.
To bet on any election is made penal by the
statutes of our State, but by the non-eniorce-
ment of this law, the evil has become of enor-
nous magnitude 1t should be put stop TO-
and as one Of the avowed principles of our
party is reform; let the reformation commence
with us We hope our friends will bear this
in mind, and will keep perfectly straight upon
this subject. To whatever party you may be
attached, exercise your right of suffrage as
good citizens ought, oppose every barrier to
this iniquitous practice, and discountenance by
your every action any attempt to corrupt the
purity Of the elective franchise.

Anti-Americans.

Bythell Haynes, Esq, seems to have taken
great umbrage at our calling hin, in the last
number of our paper an Anti-American.
We have no apology to make for it. We
think we have reason for believing it to be
true. We believe that any man who will, for
the sake of pandering to the foreign vote, utter
such sentiments as the following, has either
forgotten the land that gave him birth. or sinks
his national pride in the mire of political cor
ruption Hear again what Mr. Haynes, a ma
tive of the soil of America says:
"WE ARE INDEBTED TO THE EMIGRA-
TTCN OF FOREIGNERS TO THIS COUN-
TRY FOR OUR LANGUAGE, LTTh'RA-
TTRE, And REIEESsz@y. FOR TIE
MECHANIC ARTS, FOR SCIENCE AND
CIV vdEEXATHON.
1t is true that Mr. Haynes is native of the
soil, but is he true American when he can
utter such sentiments as the above? Such re-
marks might be excused if only spoken in the
heat of debate, or in a stump speech during an
exciting campaign. But Mr.. Haynes has done
worse He has revised and corrected his
speech. He has printed that speech and cir
culated it, and thereby fully endorses the anti
American sentiments cooy and deliberately !:
and we can come to no other conclusion than
that he is really and truly an 4Anti-American.
We asl, the Native Americans Of East Fell
ciana whether they viii endorse such senti-
ments by casting their votes for the author,
for the position he desires to occupy?

but as this term is perhaps not familiar to all
our friends, it may be well to say that this is
the appeation of the Sag Nichts" Club
room, in our town. Marks style of oratory
is as different from Dreux's, who preceded
him in the morning, in the Courthouse, as
black is from white. The one was chaste,
manly, ard perspicuous, tie other delivered
a scurillous, smutty rant, without system and
possessing nothing more to recommend it than
a couple of low stale anecdotes.
We have no particular desire to defeat
Marks only as he is candidate on the Anti
American ticket We confidently hope and
expect the ides of November will put the whole

ton to their beloved country is unquestiona-

Bogus With arawals.

We call particular attention to the article
headed Anti American Rascality. This game
of attempting to get mp panic in the ranks
Of our party by publishing bogus withdrawal
cards, is one that has been played with a high
hand, hut with little or nc success. 1t will

CAPT. DREUX.

On Monday last, Capt Chas. A. Dreux, &C
cording to previous notice, made us most ex-
cellent Native American speech. We were
much pleased to see so large an audience out
to hear him, considerable portion Of which
were ladies. So large an auditory has not as
sembled in our town for some time. The re-
port that preceded Capt. Drcux that he was
a finished and accomplished orator, produced
this to him so substantial compliment. On
the stand he fully, yes, more than sustained
his reputation. All were highly delighted with
his pleasing address, and chaste, beautiful style
Of oratory.
He took up the objections urged against Ma
tive Americanism one by one, and disposed OF
them in most mastery manner Nopoint in
the argument was left uncovered, no item OF
our party faith was left undevelopcd and un-
defended. We hope to meet Capt. DreuS
again in our parish, and to him we will ever
extend the most cordial hospitality. 1mme-
diately after the speaking was over, he left for
Amite City. to fill other appointments made
for him. Success to him, and q brilliant Ca
reer.

Anti-American Rascality.

The desperate gambling for the retention
and attainment Of political power that is daily
carried on, is receiving daily checks and con-
tradictions by the staunch men, who stand
firmly by the flag of their country. 1t is well
known to the readers of the ant-American
press, throughout the State, that every issue
contains long lists of Withdrawals from the Or
der. The nearer the election approaches, and
the less the chances are of detection, the more
their list swell, and the names of gentlemen
made use Of without either their knowledge or
consent, as having withdrawn, when in fact
they contemplate no such action. But such Il
game cannot win, though desperately played !;
it must rccoil upon those who expect the peo-
pie to be the easy dupos Of such base iabrica-
tons.

THE ELECTION.

The general election comes off day after to-
morrow-Monday. 1t is the desire OF all
peaceable, order-loving citizens, that nothing
will happen.to disturb the peace and quiet of
the day. The political waters have been much
troubled in the last few wceks-they have been
upturned from their very bottom. The minds
of the people have been for some time in a
continual state of anxiety and excitement, and
any cause of tumult however insignificant,
might, under all of the circumstances, be pro-
ductive of serious damage. Let all good men
go quietly to the polls, deposit their votes and
use every exertion in their power to keep Or
der, that the day may pass away as becomes
American citizens to pass it. Let no one vote
who has no right to do so under the law, and
refuse none who is possessed of this privilege.
There is great mistake in the minds of some,
who imagine that to challenge their votes is
intended as direct personal insult offered to
themselves. But such is very erroneous
idea, and no good man could entertain it for a
moment. 1t has been fixed by our law that
men shall vote only after they have complied
with certain requisites, among which are that
they shall be regularly naturalized, sworn al
legiance to the Government, and otherwise
conformed to the regulations of our statutes on
this subject. Ill.,.
When the law has been fully complied with
in all these requisites then the man has per-
feet right to vote; but when there is any
doubt in regard to the matter the thing is
tested by the decisory oath. The swearing is
only test of his qualification as a voter, and
no man who is perfectly entitled to exercise
this privilege, will refuse Or hesitate to take
the oath when requested to do so. 1t is nc
dEhonor but should be considered as mat
ter of pride to American citizens that their
right Of suffrage is protected in this manner
No sensible man would take it as insulting
to his dignity to be challenged at the polls, and
when fuss is kicked up about it, it is prima
facia evidence that all is not right with the
voter We are sure that all good men Of both
parties endorse the sentiment herein expressed
and we hope they will heed and act on them.
The American patriot., 1855-11-03
Things to be Remembered.

Remember that the Native American Party
is not opposed specially to any party, but joins
issue with all and every one who oppose our
doctrines. There is not the least shadow of
antagonism between our principles and the
great cardinal principles Of the old democratic
faith If ever the old issues which have been
settled and have passed into our institutions as
part and parcel of the same are again con-
tested, the writer of this article will ever be
found battling for the old democratic doctrines
on the side Of truth.
Remember, that we design no persecution
against foreigners, nor Catholics, nor any other
portion of those people living in our country.
Our efforts are directed solely to reforming
our laws, in order to remedy some of the evil
influences which would destroy our political
health, and sap the foundations of our govern
mcnt.
Remember, that the Native American Party
is opposed to making our beloved country an
universal charity hospital, and a great peni-
tentiary to which all the despotisms of the old
world may ship their paupers and criminals
Remember, that we as party mean tonain-
tain the vested rights of all and every portion
of our citizens, be they native born or natu-
ralzed Wien foreigner becomes natural
lied, swears allegiance to the laws, and institu-
tions of the land, and becomes in all respects
as thoroughly identified with us as it is posi-
BILE for him to be, then is he citizen indeed
and it is not the policy of our party to ablilge
or curtal his rights in the least degree.
| Remember, that we war against no religion,
denomination; nor do we intend to establish
any religious test as a qualification for Office
but at the same time our devotion to our coun
try leads us to avow the principle and to ac
it out, that we never intend to support any
man for office who owes allegiance to any pow
er under the sun other than the constitution
of the United States
Remember, that we will elect only native
born citizens to all offices of honor and trust
believing as we do that our institutions ar,
safest in such hands, and that we in so doin!
abridge the rights of none.
Remember all of these facts; ponder then
well in your mind think of what will be th
inevitable results Of carrying out doctrines op
positc to Them Then go to the polls on Mon
day next, and vote in accordance with the die
tatesVof your better Judgment.
