HARD RUN.
writer furtht

Whenever the newspapers of a party begin
to publish the individual changes and with
drawals from the opposite party, you may rely
upon it that they are hard run. Such is the
case now with the Foreign and anti-American
papers. There is scarcely a Withdrawal, in the
remotest region of country, of the humblest in
dividual from the Known Nothing that his
name does not appear in large letters in the
columns Of the Louisiana Courier, whence it is
copied into all the small fry throughout the
State. The names given are often, doubtless,
Of individuals who never had an existence save
in the minds of these very imaginative anti
Know-Nothings. To show how they do up
things, the Opelousas Courier two weeks since
published the withdrawal Of some ten or twelve
from the order in this Parish on the Saturday
previous, when there was not q word of truth
in it; and these Withdrawals are now being
published in every Anti paper in the State.
This is the work in which they are engaged,
and shows how much confidence you should
place in these " weak inventions of the enemy"
1t would not be surprising if there are more
Withdrawals reported before November than
there are votes in the State. Do MT be de-
ceived by these tricks, for the Ants are hard
run, and will resort to all means to defeat us.

The Echo of Lafayette, of the 18th ult., con
tains a communication signed Foreign" il
which the writer makes son thrusts at tht
know-Nothing party in general, and at our
selves in particular. When we read it, we in,
voluntarily smiled, for we were certain it was
written by some good-natured fellow, who was
a halfway Known othing himself, and alto.
gether a good friend of ours we therefore took
his hits without becoming at all excited, al.
though we might have taken exception to the
paragraph where he asks .
How can the falsehood be detected when a Know
Nothing states that they number twelve hundred ar
more i'll one Parish 2"
That word ".talsehood" is ugly, and has a
grating sound. "Foreign" should not have
used it. But as we never said any thing about
twelve hundred in one Parish" it could not
have been intended for us-hence we do not
take it. We did say, however, that by No
vember we would not be surprised if St. Ian
dry gave as large a majority for the American
party as she did in times past for the Wings
and we have no reason to take it back, for
since that time we have added near one hun
dred more to cur party-a rate of increase
which, if kept up till November, would sweep
thing except the foreigners, ofice-hold-
o6ce-seekers, demagogues, ETC., that have
been living on parish pap but we do not look

SUGAR PLANTERS CONTENTION.

The sugar planters Of the Parish of st. Ian.
dry, we understand, will meet at the Court
house in this town on Saturday, the 18th inst.
The object in view is to cooperate with the
other interested Parishes in devising ways and
means for removing the sugar market from the
levee at NewOrleans to the other side of the
river. We append a few paragraphs from the
proceedings Of a meeting held in the town Of
Thibodaux on the 2Sth ult.
Whereas, the present locality in the city of New
Orleans, at which the sugar is landed to be sold, is
too small to meet the increasing demands of this ag.
%rlcultural interest; and whereas, owing to the too
narrow space, sugar has to be sold within thirty-six
hours after landing, or be warehoused; and whereas,
other great evils have been imposed upon the sugar
interest, and become SO great rs to require o change:
Therefore,
Resolved, That, in order to relieve the sugar inter
est Of this great burden, e earnestly invite the CO.
operation of all persons interested in the sugar crop
OF Louisiana to unite in devising ways and means to
remedy the evils complained of.
Resolved, That we invite the different parishes in
terested to hold meetings to express their news on
this subject.
The Daily Crescent, after publishing the
Thibodaux Convention, says:
eve shall watch the course of this movement
with much interest. 1t is very important, and in
wolves considerations Of more than common moment

for go clean a sweep: five hundred majority

for 60 clean a sweep: five hundred majority
will satisfy us. u
Now, although this may be foreign to the
feelings of Foreign" and unpalatable to his
taste, we do MT want him to charge us again
with Boosting and if he will promise not to
do SO, we II tell him that there are a good
many more Known othings in Lafayette than
he or our friend " Chunk "a very expressive
soubriquet, by the way) of the Echo, sus'
poets. Indeed, we calculate on a very respect
able vote there in November, Notwithstanding
the night vatch that has been kept, and the
extraordinary efforts that have been made to
frown down and crush out every man who has
had the boldness to declare himself a member
Of the party. If what we have learned be cor
rect, there is not q more intolerant and pro
scriptive people to be found than the political
leaders in and around Vermilionville but all
their vigilance, sneers and threats have not
awaited, as they will find out in November.
We make no assertions except upon what we
deem good authority, and no boasts except
with good grounds. .e,
Time and space forbid our noticing this
writer further.
