THE ssROGUS" TICKET!

launched forth as the State ticket of the Pro-
iestant Know Nothings, with JOHN Ray at the
head for governor-while by the same mail,
we received the Bastrop (Morehouse) Advocate,
in which We see that this gentleman, in con-
nection with RASDELL Hunt on the stump, was
battling against the Foreign-Locofoc6 party
for the tickle nominated by the American party
10 New Orleans on the 4th of July last. This
squirt of the enemy comes too late-it neither
quenches the fiery food Of American triumph
now sweeping over the State, nor dampeus the
-aydar Of its leaders. It is a political abortion of
the most c,sring ard tiieous description; and
no sensible man, acquainted with their degen-
crate morals, will DOUBT that the leaders of the
Foreign-L ocofoco party Ere the fathers Of it!
These bogus nominations arc called the blue
Book nominations" and il is qeedless for US to
say that each gentleman who has had the ho-
nor of being placed upon the ticket utterly re-
pudiates It. It is mean, dirty trick. unbeco-
ming a strong and valiant party and there is
no doubt whatever that the Foreign Locofoeo
Central Committees will have the aforesaid
ticket struck off by thousands and circulated
throughout the State, with the hope Of draw
ing off votes from the true Americant ticket,
with that soul of integrity at its head, the no.

the g.aring ruse is having aud will continue to
have an effect its cunning deyisers but little ex-

littleness, the absurdity, and the lack of polit-
ical manliness which the,,trick eyinces. A'rea-
dy in this parish has the paltry scheme to
swindle the American party, operated delete
riously against the party which it was intended
TO benefit. But of these tickets-these spurs

be scattered into every hole and corner of the

The Bee, though somewhat differing with
as below as to the origin Of this bogus affair,
yet in a subsequent notice places it where it
belongs, to Locofoco invention. It says:
! The truth is, the matter of these nomina-
tionsisa sorry abortion, almost too despicable
for notice. By many it is believed to have
been a cunning device of the Democratic lea
ders, designed to bewiIder the American party,
and to throw them into confusion. We doubt
this. We really think that the Blue Book ticket

dozen Of individuals who claim to belong to
the Northern wing of the party. When we
say a bakers dozen, it is a mere formula Of
words. We are by no means sure that the
bogus organization numbers = bakers dozen.
Rumor has waited TO our ears the names Of
the redoubted, Bunce. the invincihie HARDY,

Simon Pures, we have neye. heard Of a solitary
being who either belonged to the Blue Book
order, or could mention any member of it.
