TYE TrroLraASrs AND TnF COURIER.

The Courier Of Sunday morning, on II,
French side, seemed especially delighted with
the action of the advertisers of the SO called
ssNational American State Ticket We refer
red to it's illusions, at length, yesterday morn
ing, and showed conclusively that neither its
assumptions, arguments or deductions, had any
substantial basis to rest upon And so far as
its disiDgenuous attempts to excite religious
preiudioe against the candidates on the real
American State Ticket were concerned, we re.
futed, and overwhelmed them by authoritative
denials, and by quotations from letters writer
by the Hon. John Ray, whose name had beer
shamefully used in connection with the Office o
Goyernor-an Office he would thousand time
sooner suffer martyrdom than accept, were til,
nomination thus rendered him equivalent tt
success
There were some portions Of the Courier
article we had not room to advert to. There
fore we propose to make few extracts from th'
quotations published yesterday, which were moi
alluded to, in order that full and perfect un.
Outstanding may be arrived at, and that ne
honest man may be unwillingly led astray.
Says the Courier in regard to the bogus nom
nations:
All these nominations are official; they published
by order Of the Executive Committee Of the Nationa
American party Of Louisiana
Further along 1t says:
It ia perceived that official facts pour in from sl sides
Ia maintain our postou-the position have always
taken--that war upon Catholicism is in Louisiana Of
tho fundamental principles OF the Ruow.Nothings
Those OF the Order who deny are either actuated BY
purely political motives, to secure Catholic votes on the
18th OF November being Catholics they not allowed
to take the higher degrees into which the anti Catholic
oath is administered. m
Again:
The National American party although we opposed
les doctrines is to estimabie than the Know
Nothing party Of Louisiana it has over it the advantage
Of frankuess.
1t will be seen that the Courier denounces
certain nominations as &C official" We shall
prone the announcement to be untrue, in all its
length and breadth-in all its aspects and in all
its bearings. What the Courier chooses to term
ssthe National American Party of Louisiana, has
no warrant from any authority whatever. 1t is
repudiated by the American party of Louisiana,
and by the National American Council. In
Louisiana this - heaven save the mark =
g American party is headed by Charles W.
Hardy, Chairman We have the document in
our possession, and know it chirographically and
orthographically, and can produce it at any
moment.
But has Mr.. Hardy any rights in the premises
to act for either State or National organiza-
tor ? Not particle-not q scintilla of par
ticle-as the following official documents, which
We guarantee to be !. offcial,' and We presume
no gentleman will question our word amply
proves. Read:
10 all whom these presents may come. greeting:
This is to certify that by virtue Of authority vested in
the National Council Of the United statec OF North
America do hereby revoke certain dspensaiion here
.ofore granted to w Hardy, and - Perry, Of New Or
cans, La, whereby they, or either of them were en-
Council 10 the State of Louisiana aforesaid
Witness my hand and the seal Of the National Council
g. b. BARTLETT
[sEAIl President N G. . MA.
Messrs Hardy and Perry being repudiated
ind rendered powerless by the highest author
ty known to the national organization, will
he Courier hereafter have the candor to avow
he fact ! 1t must do it, or else acknowledge
is liability to pay any and every debt any and
very scoundrel in New Orleans may contract
Inder the shadow Of its respectable name! The
ule must work both ways, or else there is no
ustice in any rule,
A word or two more, and we will close. The
fourier asserts that $ war upon Catholicism is in
louisiana one of the fundamental principles of
he Know. Nothings." Now, we assert nothing
We only proue. The nomination Of candidates
for instance, Messrs. Derbigny and Durable
roues the absolute inoorreotness Of the Cou-
ier's allegations, no matter in what light they
nay be viewed
The assumption that there are "higher de-
,rees in the order, into viii oh s'Catholics'
IRE not admitted, is as untrue as any ever pub
ished. Thousands Of Catholics in New Orleans
will aubstantiate our statement.
The preference expressed by the Courier for
he bogus National American Party" does
not surprise us in the least. The boguses ara the
pest friends Of the Courier's anti American doc
5rnes. OF course, it loves its friends, and cares
rery little about the great injustice done to
D large majority of the native American Catho-
les of Louisiana who are active and Jealous
members of the American order.
