PLATFORM
OF THE
T. MN NNGAA HAR1y
OF LOUIsIANA.

|. We advocate all amendment OF the Naturali-
zat'on Laws, with proper safeguards TO preserve
lie purity oi the elective franchise.
We advocate the passage Of such laws as will
prevent tue immigration OF paupeTs and criminals
10 this country.
3. We oppose any interference in the vested
rights Of all persons, whether they be OF native
or foreign birth.
A. We are in favor Of non-intervention with
slavery by the Federal Government except ior
the protection of our constitutional nights
s.. We advocate high National Policy, such
viii afford stern and unwaverlng protection to
the American name abroad and will follow and
guard the American citizen wherever he moves.
G. We believe that America should be govern
ed by Americans, efectng the same through the
baIlot-box alone, the only legitimate instrument
OF reform in this country.
T. Ne believe that the office should seek the
man, and not the man the Office, and shall oppose
the distribution of Office among othceseekeIS. or
as reward for partisan services
s. We will maintain and defend the C0nstitu-
ton Of the United States the Union as II now ex-
lists and the rights of the States without diminu-
ton. insisting upon a faithful performance on the
part of the General Government of all the duties
eniotned upon it by the Constitution.
g. While we approve OF the platform adopted
by the late National Council of the American
Party at Philadelphia, we reject the application
of the principles OF the eighth article to American
Catholics, as unjust, uniounded, and entirely un-
worthy OF our country We shall forever contin-
ue 10 protest against any abridgement of religious
liberty, holding it as cardinal maxim that reisi-
Gus faith is question between each individual
and his God. We utterly condemn any attempt
10 make religious belief test for political office,
and can never affiliate with any party which
holds sentiments not in accordance with these.
10 We war with no party as such, but shall
oppose all who oppose us in the advocacy OF these
great American principles.

greatest hilarity and good feeling. A supper
that done credit to the good cheer of our in
FAINT town, was discussed with appetites, i'm
proved by our pure salubrious climate, and
feelings the most pleasurable, rendered doubly
so by the prophetic feeling impaired to each
present, that our next anniversary will wit
ness mighty accession to our numbers. -
After the solids had been we'll discussed, numer-
Gus toasts were. drank in pure adams Ale"
and responded to (always) in an appropriate
manner. Before parting, numerous songs were
sung, most of them decidedly Scottish; pre-
dominent were the songs of Burns, Tanahill,

company parted some hours "Ayont the
Twelve'-after concluding that the followers
of good old St. Andrews shall not be behind
in the struggle to build up the interests of the
Valley, in all that is desirable in social, in
tellectual, or pecunairy point of view; and not
forgetting that the sons of St. Andrews never
tarnish their banner, by intermingling in po-
litical strife.
