Withdrawals-The Canvass. ss ,,7
The following, which we take from the ope-
lousas tst Landry Patriot, of the 9Th, speaks
for itsslf It needs no comment, although the
conduct of those to whom it refers deserves the
unmeasured denunciation Of every honest man.
| no matter what his politics, no matter what his
nativity, no matter what his religion.
Such attempts ss these to secure partisan
triumph fathom the lowest depths of infamy.
There is no lower Deep on this earth. Thank
God, the American party is clear Of such afro
cious deception and iniquity. Sooner let il be
defeated thousand tmest than triumph once by
the aid of SANDER, deceit and yillainy.
But to'the Patriots article: ...*
MORE WITHDRAWALS. s.--The modo Of election
eering by the opposition is SO tortuous that it s
difficult to follow them. Bat we are wide awake
and understand their tactics.
Ten KnowNothings, who had been induced
to withdraw in consequence of the erroneous re-
presentations made to them by the Antics, have,
within the last two days, sent in counter letters
annuling their Withdrawals, and requesting TO
be considered as members of the Order.
They have also furnished us with the argu-
ments used to induce them to withdraw We
place them under three heads: ss
1st. They were informed that our orators de-
Fnaunced their religion, and that Mr.. Olivier, in
public speech at Opelousas, had denounced
our Saviour as :" a scoundrel and an imposter
=" IN poisson ct I'm imposteur.''
I'd. They were told that we intended to de-
stroy the Catholic religion. pull down the Cath
/ olic church, and drive Catholics out of the
country.
Sd. They were told that their wives would
no longer be permitted to go to church, and if
they attempted it, they ts0ld be kicked o,tt''
Some of these arguments (?) were used by a
speaker at q public meeting, composed exclu-
ssiVely Of Antics, as we learn from the member
who have returned to us. On ascertaining that
] they had been listening to tissue of falsehoods
without parallel in political campaign, they
have returned to American principles, and fur
nished US with the names of their sedueers, and
the means by which they were seeking to ac-
complish their ends.
We announce these facts without making any
comments. They furnish abundant food for
reflection in the minds of well disposed men.
THE New TICKET OF THE LOUISIANA COURIER
AND TRUE DELrA.-From the French side of
the Louisiana Courier, we learn that there has
been meeting Of branch of the Know Moth
ings, as the Courier says, ct New Orleans, which
was ntmerousiy attended by Representatives
from ecefy parish in the State. The object of
the convention was to nominate ss National
American ticket, and to endorse the eighth
article Of the Philadelphia Platform. The same
high authority adds that q State ticket was
accordingly nominated, which would be an
nounced in o few days.
On the supposition that the Courier has
spoken the truth, the reported proceedings Of
the convention only fortify the position Of our
party on the Catholic question. such con
vention was held, it was for the purpose of
| taking issue ,oith us on that question, which
proves conclusiyely that we are the friends OF
Catholics and the supporters of religious toler-
alton. If not, why nominate new ticket'
But the announcement Of the Courier bears
intrinsic evidence of falsehood 1t is not proba-
BILE that delegates from the country parishes
would throw themselves in tie midst Of a most
fatal epidemic in New Orleaps, for the purposes
indicated by the Courier. This Journal says
every parish was represented Who went from
St Landry How many members composed
the convention? Where are the resolutions
they adopted? If the Courier speaks for that
party, it ought to know. sz
In keeping with the foregoing, the True
Delta, the organ of the foreigners in New Or
leans, contains an advertisement announcing
the candidates of this g numerously attended
convention" Those candidates are our own;
with the exception of Derbigny and Durable
The nominations appear in that paper without
comment or authority in the shape of an adver-
tsement, which any person may insert by pay
ing for it. The True Delta, it will be remem-
bered, last spring announced to the world that
our party had met and nominated ticket,
which this paper published in its columns. The
announcement of last spring proved to be a
falsehocd, and the published ticket the invention
of the editors. Having -perpetrated falsehood
on former occasion, does not render them very
credible witnesses at the present time.
The Courier and True Delta have now strong
motives to mislead the public. The former is
the organ of the administration, and the latter
of the foreign population They desire to create
a diversion in favor of their respective patrons
and supporters But falsehoods are rife, and
the people are too much on the alert to be de-
ceiyed [0pelousas (St Landry Patriot, 9th.
THE CANVASS continue to receive the
most cheering accounts Of the progress of the
great American cause in all parts of the State.
Here. in central Mississippi, our guns have
been spiked )" and our organization dispersed by
the invasion of ssYellow Jack )" but we are glad
to learn that our friends in other parts of the
State are abating nothing of their efforts to
carry forward the good cause. We confidently
look for majority of 1000 to 10000 for the
State ticket, the election of all our candidates
for Congress, and Of commanding majority in
the Legislature Nearly month is still left
for active exertion, and We urge our friends to
use that time to the best advantage. Push on
the column! Stir up the lukewarm, and con-
firm the doubtful
jackson Miss Mercury, 9th.
We are gratifed to receive such favorable in
telligence from our sister State. The editor of
the Mercury is en exceedingly well informed
and reliable man. We anticipate a magnificent
triumph in our sister State in November next.
In the Fifth Congressional District there is
Ii ardly shadow of doubt that the eloquent and
i'm passioned Hillyer will defeat the veteran
Ouitman Our accounts from the sea-shore
dist1 let are particularly encouraging.
