Our answer is, the victory obtained on Monday last
over the pseudo-American party is the triumph Of the
true American patriot over the would-he American
par excellence. It ia the triumph Of civiland religious
liberty over bigotry, fanaticism and intolerance. II
is the triumph Of the true principles Of the American
constitution over higher law advocates and the mar.
row policy Of prescription on account Of birth. It is
the fearless and public expression Of thewill Of q great
and free people, untrammeled by demagogues and
Office seekers. It is o warning lesson to those who.
unable to succeed by proclaiming their principles in
the open day, have endeavored by terrible and sacri-
legious oaths and secret associations, to manacle the
unsuspecting, the young and the unwary, and to allure
them in their midnight conclayes, that they might
use them for their purposes. [Courier.

TO OUR PATRONS.


The undersigned, having purchased the in-
terest Of Messrs. Albert Dejean and Cyrus
Thompson in the Opelousas Patriot, will con-
time the publication Of the paper as hereto
fore, on their own account, and hope to merit
the public favor.
Firmly believing that the principles of the
American party, as promulgated in the plat
form adopted in NewOrleans on the 18th Of
J4sy last, ore the best safeguard for American
libsfty, we shall continue to advocate them
with oil our energy and oil our ability and
politically, therefore, the " Opelousas Patriot +"
4.rll remain, what it ever has been, the honest
and earnest advocate of the noble maxim that
none but Americans shall rule America"
In its miscellaneous and general character,
there shall be no change, except, perhaps, in
the endeavor of the undersigned to make it still
more worthy of the liberal patronage which
has been bestowed upon it. The services of a
talented gentleman, well known. among the
Creoles of the Parish, have been secured, who
will impart additional interest to the French
department.

October 20, of yellow fever, sch K. TAYLOR, SOD
Of Henderson Taylor, of Marksville.
Alas, how true that Death looks not to the age or
rank of his victims! With equal hand the vigorous
and buoyant frame Of youth, and the trembling, pal
sled limbs of age, are laid low in the grave. How
frequently are we called upon to chronicle the loss
of q fathers pride, or the cherished object Of mater
nal love-!
Poor John! He has gone to his narrow home.
He fell a sacrifice to the impulses Of his W noble
soul. His body lies beneath the sod, but his night
watchings at the dying couch, and his answering
devotion to the cause of suffering humanity, will ever
live fresh and green in the memory Of loving and
grateful friends. He might have left the scene of
sickness and death, but his generous and sympa-
thizing nature rather chose the kind Offices of the
Ministering Angel. The fearful scourge claimed
him among the last of its victims, and, dying, he
gave q beautiful exemplifcation Of the Christians
hope-for he had made his peace with his God.
Pause, stranger, pause! and drop q tear
Beside this w-mad grave,
For here lies one was kind and trne,
And generous, just and braye!"

no THE PUBLIC.

The undersigned@5r reasons of q private
nature, ceases, from this date, his connection
with the " Opelousas Patriot )" and, in doing
SO, he would do injustice to his W feelings
were he not to avail himself of the opportunity
to express the obligations under which he To-
bors to those friends, both personal and politi-
cal, who have so literally patronized the " Pa
trio" from the day Of its establishment to the
present. He trusts that the same liberal en-
%couragement will. be extended to the present
Editors and Proprietors, who are determined
to advocate Us strenuously as ever the great
principles set forth by the American party Of
Louisiana. ALBERT DEJEAN.

CARD.

The heading Of this number of the "Opelou-
sas Patriot" as we'll as a notice in its columns,
will indicate the withdrawal of Mr.. Dejcan
and myself as associate editors and proprie-
tors and in retiring from the connection, l
avail myself Of this means Of returning my
thanks to oil who have in any manner con-
tributed to the patronage and support Of the
paper. No selfish motives, or expectations Of
pecuniary reward, induced me to embark in the
enterprise, but in a great measure the desire to
elevate the character Of the press in the Ope-
lousas country-to bring, if possible, more
plainly to view the undeveloped resources of
this fertile, healthy and beautiful portion Of our
State, and in other respects to further the in
~tercsts Of the most naturally interesting section
Of the South. How far these objects have
been accomplished, it is not for me to say but
I have the satisfaction Of knowing, through
assurances Of the press and from individuals,
that, assisted by my associates, o paper has
been firmly and successfully established that
challenges comparison with any other country
sheet for its mechanical execution and the va
riety and interest Of the matter generally found
in its columns. Only about nine months have
elapsed since the issuing of q prospectus for
the Patriot, and yet it has probably attained
a larger circulation than that Of any paper
ever before published in Opelousas. For this
success, credit is due m approaching public,
and thanks to many kind friends.
The paper now passes into the hands Of gen.
tlemen who have the means, the energy and the
ability to make it permanent, and its columns
interesting. It will, as heretofore, advocate
the principles of the American party, uncon-
trolled by party or clique, and will in other
respects carry out the aims, objects and prin-
ciples set forth in the original prospectus. It
is therefore to be hoped that it will continue
to meet o liberal patronage, as it assuredly
will merit it. Cyrus THOMPSON.

There is one interesting feature (says the
NewYork Tribune) in the flour trade Of the
present autumn. We refer to the fact that the
great bulk Of flour brought to the NewYork
market, thus far, has been derived from the
Southern States, which have not till this year
been looked to for that commodity. The nu-
merous railroads opening up all through these
States ore furnishing new outlets to extensive
grain producing regions which have heretofore
stood far in the back ground. The direct ben
efts of railroads to agriculture are thus being
clearly shown. In connection with this cir
cumstance, it is TO be remembered that we have
still remaining OF the West and Northwest the
aour which in ordinary years'would have sup
piled the place now occupied by this Southern
product. This alone will sensibly affect future
prices.

From the different parishes in this State the
returns are so meager and conflicting, that it is
next to on impossibility to give even o partial
summary Of the result. We therefore, for the
present, content ourselves with expressing the
opinion that the Fusion ticket, with Wicklife
at its head, has probably succeeded by q small
majority. As soon as we con obtain the re-
turns correctly, We shall lay them before our

The open square of ground ud1pbs6ah1 which it
has been contemplated to build the new Epis-
copal Church, has for several weeks past been
the receptacle Of dead dogs, horses, hogs, ETC.,
rendering it a perfect nuisance to the inhabi.
tants Of that part Of the town. Is it not the
business of the Town Council to stir in this
matter, and take measures to abate the
nuisance Tor Of the Town Constable? We
understand that o modest KNOWN othing, liy-
ing near the square, whose olfactories are ex-
ceedingly sensitive, would long since have made
complaint, but for the fact that another resi-.
dent, in the good graces Of the " powers that
be" had already done so unsuccessfally. Our
Town Fathers ought to understand that there
is something rotten in Denmark"
