 LOUISVILLE COURIER AND THE RIOTS. It will aforementioned by those who had an opportunity of reading that de- Iactab7e sheet, the Louisville Courier, that the election riot in that city, in May last, in which the anti, American party were beaten, were the subject of great ridicuIe in it's columns. But now having changed his party, he has also changed his tune. Speaking of the riots of May, the Courier says:
 Nothing can bcmore absurd than an attempt to fasten upon the American party the criminality that certainly at taches to much that was done at inc First Ward polls. The spirit anu ge- nius of the party is at war with such acts--the purity of the ballot box, the exercise of the right of suffrage by those whose right it is, and the estab- lishment of decency and order in the place ofriotous proceedings at elections being some of its great cardinal fea- lures. In the other Wards of the city there was great quiet. Early in the day in the End Ward 1t was impossible for an Americanyote to reach the polls, so completely had the anti-Americans taken possession of them. A highly respectable merchant, who transacts business in the centre of the city, but votes in that Ward, informs us that he was several times repulsed from the polls by Germans, and that not un- til the police officers came and regula- ted the matter, could he or any other American vote.
