PUT NONE BUT AMERICANS
ON aUARDY
TO THE PATRIOTIC VOTERS
OF IBERVILLE!!

Never was there more fitting period for the
observance Of the above declaration of the he.
roic Father of his Country, than the present
era of the Republic-this present day in the
hists1y Of Louisiana! As on that fearful eve
when the Great Commander felt in his heart
that he could only trust to the honor and cour.
age of American born citizens for the safety
and glory of his country, SO now is similar
hour when the INSTITUTIONS of the coun.
try, which the blood of his brave followers
stamped upon the page of history, call aloud
in thunder tones, "Put None but Americans
on Guard!" 4
As Sentinel upon the watch~tower of our
Liberties and our Rights, whose commission is
engrafted in the revered Constitution of the
American Union, as other brothers engaged in
the same avocation throughout the land, it is
our glorious privilege as it is our sacred duty,
to give the alarm to oil good citizens when
any Of the features of these institutions are
threatened or are in danger!
With these few remarks--the correctness of
which every just, calm and unprejudiced mind
must admit-we hasten to inform the voters
Of lberville that most gigantic fraud will be
attempted at the Polls in this parish to-day!
