NEW ORLEANS, September 10, 1901. +.
The undersigned, committee named by an asso-
eiation OF the National American party In New Or
leans 10 promote the success of Fillmore and Done-
son and the Union, in the coming Presidential cleo
tion beg leave to address you and all National Amer
leans and true lovers Of the Union Of these States,
both IN aud out of the State. s.l.a
We are happy to inform you that this city is well
organized and thoroughly aroused to the importance
OF the impending crisis Ii will put forth its full
strength on the 4th Of November, and the majority
for Fillmore and Donelson, we are sssured, will not
be less than 2n00 To aid in securing this desirable
result, the Fillmore Rangers have reorganized and
have taken the field. At the tap of the drum sig
nal given they rally over two thousand men, active
and influential, and all voters Rest assured the
right spirit Is aroused and the most enthusiastic feel
ing prevails in every class of our citizens. This is no
dream-it is stern reality.
In the country, the parishes are fast organizing,
forming American, Union, and Fillmore Clubs. PUB
lie meetings are being held all over the State at
which candidates for electors attend and address
these assembiages, with other able, eloquent public
speakers and influential friends of the cause. Fill
more and Donelson are advocated and supported
the only true national candidates. whose election will
the safety and stability of the American Union
more than any others. Buchanan and Fremont are
placed on sectional grounds, and in anagonishcal,
sectional positions arraying the North against the
South, and O,cs Uer'd and but for the candidacy OF
Fillmore, Fremont would get the free States--l76
electoral votes: aud Buchanan the Southern States
l20 votes for it is conceded by all but his own par
ty that Buchanan could not get the electoral vote
bis own State if the contest was between him and
Fremont such is the detection from the Democratic
ranks in Pennsylvania on the Kansas and ant-slave-
ry excitement.
Mr.. Fillmore is much stronger than the "Ameri-
can party ever was, both in this State and else
where. All the Wings, not of the American party
with few exceptions Democrats and natural
lied citizensgo for and will vote the Fillmore ticket
Every day have evidence Of these accessons to our
cause. 3
The two Senators from Louisiana have taken high
ground against us nevertheless are confident that
Louisiana will cast her vote for Millard Fillmore and
Andrew Jackson Donelson. The first (Mr. Slidel \
says, "if Fremont be elected, the Union cannot and
ought not 10 be pres rUed The friends of Fillmore
and the Union say the Union must be maintained in
the language of Glen. Jackson to the nulifers-"tRe
USIos mast be zreseued." Our other Senator, (Mr.
Benjamin) elected Wing, now turned Democrat and
Buchanan man, urged " the formation OF Southern
party" when he changed Both him and Mr. Sldeli
are sectonalsts and disunionsts the end neither
of them speak the sentiments and political opinions
of Louisiana. Thank God we are no longer in the
hands of the politicians II is the people who elect
the President, and they moving IN masses TO the
support of our nominees.
The Democratic organs and politicians have from
the beginning of the contest been porseverngy tena-
cous in their assertions and declarations that Mr.
Fillmore has chance to be elected that he cannot
get single State, &c. This is the game played off
to induce Wings and others to vote for Buchanan
The Republican or Fremont men AZ the North started
the same outcry TO get FlnoTes friends TO support
Fremont, and thereby defeat Buchanan. These shall
low devices of the common enemy are now shern Of
all their effect and mschievous designs. Mr. Fill
mors's prospects, since the canvass commenced, have
increased with giant strength and be is now the most
prominent candidate in the field. In the North and
in the South In the East aud in the West he is out
stripping bis competitors, while his course is pro-
gressive and onward. We unhesitatingy say 10 all
friends, and the friends of the Union IN the IN
terror in the North and in the South that Mr. Fill
mo will be q
date, having the best qualifications and the best
chance to be elected. ~

prospects in this city and the State of Louisiana
desire you to communicate to from every parish in
the State, the prospects of Fillmore and ronelson,
and what il their probable vote in each also, any
other information or news that may be useful
To gentlemen In the several States we would ask
to communicate the prospects Of the Fillmore and
Donelson ticket in your State county, city town. so
far as is practicable and the probable result of the
vote in the State, &c y-
