REASONING.

The Courier Of yesterday contains an elaborate article
from which shall quote with the view Of oomsntips
thsupon Speaking Of exploded and wholly
charge against our candidate for the Sherfatythar
whom more honorable and tolerant gentleman does
in New oreanshe Courier after expressing it's sntirs
ignorance Of the workings of the American Order en-
deavors to show that Its uchvauned information wat
not derived from thrce-sodden traitors in this wise
But when the wise and logical Crescent goes to eay
that any information may have 10 unreliable and Oh.
The questions asked Of for admission the osth

They doubtless secrets the Order yet knowledge

or anything which looks like them. Take for exam
the Vermioa Ritual, work which, beyond doubt CON

foregoing which fatal to It's cause very damaging
to its character impartial and truthful Journal We
will proceed. TO demonstrate our conclusions
The Courier aats that the anti Americans have had
the American Ritual in their possession No other in
ference be drawn from the language used notwith-
standing Its verboslty Then 1t says that the vermi;on
Ritual fell by accident into the hands Of an

Here are three points involved, and they oil involve
treachery and unfair dealing ., ~ ~ 45E#
LIST AS to the "Vermillion Rual.' That Ritual, y
no doubt is true and correct far it goes But it
made Of by the esnest trick ever psrpetrated
was lost, and when called for not returned to it's
owner Here is deeercy for you. 1t produced
BY the finder at Know Nothing Mass Meeting until
the aforesaid finder had been denounced il terms
that would nerve work-house vazrants arm to
strke Then he handed it over. The, it was read to
the multitude; and them it thrown back to the ina
vdual who had surreptisiousy obtained it, with the de
ant request that he should read 1t every where All this
done amid the appaudng shouts OF the assebIaee
who through the trick and dspsed the dirty players
engaged in IT, 4&4 = n NR9
II memory is not at fault two months or more AGO
told the Courier that the Ritual was In the possss
sion Of its political friends and dared it to publish the
document narfaing at the time the disreputsbls
means by which it was obtained! why has not the
Courier published the Ritual which it says hes been
read BY ahundreds Of Democrats?n We can give tie
reason Such publication would have destroyed our CO.
temporarys stock in trade-would have contradcted
whole ponderous columns of pondsrous editorials nculea
ting the idea that the Ritual was full Of religious in
tolerance when 1t contains not line word or senti
men that any Catholic Protestant freely SUBJ
scribe to. i4* f$
But obtained dishonorably and right rsgretful
that neighbor Of the Courier whom We have
always respected while confessng to knowledge of The
Rtual fails to publish it, at the time charging
Major Hufty American candidate for Sheriff with being

To that 6 Ritua' Judge Derbigny, Msjor Hufty, Col
Durade all the American candidates, ourselves, and
large msjorty of the legal voters New Orleans and
Louisiana allegiance under Obligations until We
dvet ourselves therefrom, and who says there
Is antiCathoc sentiment contained therein bsters
bis tongue with foul and infamous falsehood.
This say emphatically-W intending any per.
sonal slusion to the Courersnd state it in order
that there may be Misunderstanding in the
And we again dare publication of the Ritual 2 in
proof Of our assertions We would publish it ourselves
authorized and would have been authorized
had not the pessnce prevented attendance at the last
regular meeting Of the State Council So far thanks to
good luck oversight the part Of their enemes the
Americans have been charged with creating the vel
low fever! f'lstili l5i 4ss
Before the Courier makes any more charges against
American candidates, when hundreds of Democrats
have read the y obligations they under we would
advise it to publish those obligations! Don't keep the peo
pie in the dark Don't hide your candle under bushel
DON'T try to make the people believe that truth is false
