Where arc the AaIaavloa1

Under this head, the True Delta of
the 4th inst, devotes a column to
prove that Mr.. Miles Taylor never en-
tertained the sentiments now battled
for by the American party. In no.
ticing the testimony of our fellow-citi-
zen, James M. Elan, Esqr., in refer
ence to Mr.. Taylor's former proclivi-
ties-when the fact of his candidacy
for Congress, was not yet conceived in
the woumb of time the True Delta
endeavours to bring Mr.. Elam's testi-
mony into disrepute after the follow
ing manner:
C. Knowing, as the writers of
such stuff we'll do, that exposure of
these Misrepresentation must speedi-
ly follow their publication, they avail
themselves of the fragile memory Of
our poor old friend, the eccentric
Judge Elan, of Baton Rouge, known
everywhere by the sobriquet Of "the
solitary mourner," to prove Mr.. Tay-
Tor one of the Know Nothing fraterni-
ty by his own admissions The fanci-
full old gentleman says that one day
last April, the first of the month we
suppose, at some corner of some street
in the extensive city of his abode. he
and others understood" Miles Tay-
lor to "say, without qualification, that
if something was not done, and done
speedily, to purify the ballot-box from
the corrupting influence of the vote Of
foreigners. American liberty would be
lost. ~
Admitting Mr.. Elam's "eccentrici-
ties." no one dare call in question his
veracity. "The afidavits asked for
by the True Delta, are not wanted in
his case. Had Mr.. Taylor set bis fist
10 such a document as the one that
now rises in judgment against our
friend, T. Green Davidson; there
would be some easy way to get out
If it. No! Afidavits prove nothing
n politics. Did Mr.. Taylor confess to
nave given utterance to the American |
sentiment with which he is charged
he party press would prove "abbera-
ion Of mind, or the unsoph;stication
# youth upon him.
