DEMOCRATIC ROLES AND T.olIc.

III has been Wsll said that good rule necessarily
works both ways. ~ be q good rule II could not
work otherwise As It's with . good rule, SO is IL
with sound logic, obvious propositions and just prin
ciples. All are governed by the golden mean which,
like good rule, operates as invariably as the most
perfect piece Of machinery But these propositions
are rite and have never been disputed outside the
territorial limits Of the very respectable common
wealth of Louisiana. 35s54s
In Louisiana ecially in the goody and decena
city Of New 0rleans-the rule and the logic Of the
civilized world have been ignored and new rules ana
new logic substituted in their stead leaders ana
organs Of the Democracy. One party, and IT'S mem.
hersthe Democrat cording to this new logic
and this new rule, can do no wrong and another
party, and its member the merican party --can
dono right. 1t ii, heads win, tails you lose, oil
4 the way through The precedent thus sought to be
established u more Must and unrghteous than the
imposition the Amer hunter upon the
4 Indian hunter Previous to starting upon the days
huut All agreement had been entered into by which
tbe spois were to be equal divided. The sport was
Ill her the only trophies brought in
| being d turkey and an owl. How to make q fair
division was the problem to BE solved. The white
hunter was equal to the emergency. Said he to the
Indian hunter I'll be perfectly fair with you you
take the owl and I'll take the turkey Or, Ill take
the turkey and you take the owl Il! r, e z@
8 The Indian acquiesced. ne couldn't controYert the
logic Of the white man it appeared
somewhat strange that turkey was never said to him
once. But owl would have served the Indian for
food case Of necessity and helped him to obtain
further supplies Hence, ne contend, and shall pro
show that the proposition Of the hunter the
Indian was farera more honest than the rules and
logic sought be- imposed upon the American party
the calIed Democratic organs and leaders. They
not only want to appropriate the turkey but to steal
the owl. # 0 5$$
For Instance, etus cite few illustrations bearing
upon recent political elections. According to modern
Democratic rules and logic d Democrat may use just
as insulting and abusive language as he peases, and
not be in the slightest degree blameable But, let a
person thus Wantonly insnlted he Is an American!
become excited and thrash his insulter, and he is
forthwith denounced as ia rufian party TO which
he belongs is stglnatized as q party Of rufians-
while the cause Of the trouble is held up as pattern
of lamhlke innocence!
| "a Democrat may goto the polls witness the
seventh precinct himself in the most VIC
lent and uniustifaEle manner, endeayor to murder
Americans by firing q horse pistol into crowd seek
to mangle them with d knife little shorter than a
gcyfhe blade, and, according to modern Democratic
rules and logic he hash been guilty Of par
ticuarly worthy Of condemnation! But, if those he
sought to murder with powder and lead
and steel become enraged and cut and shoot the das
ardly scoundrel they are at styled disturbers of
/ the polls intimidators Of peaceable citizens ruff
fans and assassins!
S "A band of foreign Democrats the gentle, loving
honest Sican band, for instance may, at "a given
signal Gas III the eleventh precinct last Monday rush
from their dens commence firing at and cutting at,
ndiscriminately, all the Americans they meet-In
shoot stab nange, and with the ferocity Of hyenas
essay the assassination of of our most quiet and
estimable citizens and, according to modern Demo
cratic rules and logic, all is about The Sicilian
misereants are downright clever fellows, entitled to
commentator and protection instead reproach and
punishment!
u But, let the friends Of the victim ray--et them
look at his numerous gaping wounds, his copiously
flowing blood-Iet them listen to what they have
every reason to believe the last dying, conyulsve
sgasps, of as noble and anliabe gentleman ever
hreathed--an then let them take swift vengeance
upon the murderers, the base, infamous despicable
assassnsand, according to modern Democratic rules
and logic they become disturbers Of the peace and
sheddels of innocent blood
s The whole matter may be summed up under three
heads:
81 L. n q Democrat, on election day, without the
smallest proyocation, insults an American and gets
chastised for it, the American is rioter and ruan
80 The Democrat q peaceahe citizen.
81 . II q Democrat goes to the polls, kicks up a
fuss, draws abig pistol and fires at crowd Of Ameri
cans and then gets cut shot at by the Americans
he had striVen to murder, the Americans are bules
/. a 4 -1 a.
voter s,$ #
8. If q band Of Democrats, concertedly rush from
their hiding places, and shoot, cut down. slash and
mange an inofensiye American citizen-the chief Of
fcsr Of one Of our and fire at and try to stab
all the Americans in the neighborhood, and the
Americans punish In the fury Of the moment, these
diabolieal atrocities the Americans outlaws and
murde the Democratic band class of harmless,
}unofending people.
We assure our readers there is no extravaganza in
the foregoing summary. Under the circumstances it
is impossible to become extrayagant. In the cases
we have referred to truth is, indeed stranger than
| fiction. 81
Yet, it is under such Rules and Logic as these,
that leaders and wreworkers seek to pre-
JUDGE the people Of the State and country against the
American party Of New Orleans If they don't find

RECORDER CLEMENT RAMos--This gentleman, in
10 card published in the Courier yesterday morning
characterized statement made in our local column
that he had been eating and drinking with certain
Sicilans, on Sunday last, as utterly false"
We think Recorder Ramos shows undue sensitive
ness, and has INDUCED in very unjustfabe remark
In his hour Of sorest need he will reoollect the i'm
parchment times the editors Of the Crescent might
have injured him ght have aided materially in his
Acknowledgement. But they did moi, in word Or deed
directly or indirectly. They left him where the law
left him, and ngratulated him on his happy deliv
erance, #If 55.F4 53$& + l5s 5s3 i
Yet Mr.. Ramos asserts thata portion of one Of
local articles is utterly false, aud publishes it to
the world in an opposition journal. There was me-
cessity for this publication by Mr.. Ramos. He had
only to come to us, and convince that wrong had
been done him, to have ensured complete and ample
correction. But, as he has sought the newspapers,
let him abide by the newspapers. Sometimes the
newspapers are merciful and sometimes they are the
reverse.
In the same card, Mr.. Ramos further says: !" On
last Sunday came to my etice usual etc. Gre
NAMED there until about 49, A. M and in few min
utes afterwards went to the residence of Mr.. j. Ge
nois etc. etc. and left there at about two P. NJ
