New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-06-13


4 We cited the infames of Paquemines, in 1914, and
yillainies of November, 1885, in support Of our
i propositions
THAT our points we're fully demonstrated, is quite
evident from the 1uttering that followed among the
wounded pigeons. Every shot told There are plenty

With this preliminary We quote para graph from

Now, what will d fairminded people think Of a
journal that uses such language as the foregoing
when we tell them that the Crescent's article, to
which it refers, does not contain one solitary aco

its application Here is the only reference to the
election held the I'd of June. We quote from the
Crescent Of Wednesday morning Since its (the
Couriers disastrous discontinue On the ID Of June,
it has been boiling over with wrath and venom, and
has hurled its missiles all Sides regardless Of right

Beyond those few words, no allusion was made to
the recent municipal election We proceeded to
argue the Courier's own proposition, that crime
begets crime, !" and to show that, were its own de-
nunciatons Of the American party founded in fact,
the Democracy, as the authors, oaginators and pro-
pagators Of corruption seee the responsible parties
4 that they had SCUM the seed Of ba1etul crop!
We never admitted, z as the Courier asserts that
4 the American party on the I'd of June g committed
alsorts ofcrimes, but they were begotten by Demo
cratic frauds in 1874 and 1852. There is not syl-
liable, line, or SENTENCE in article Of Wednes-
4 day morning which warrants the Cougier's employ
ment Of the above language. Its base, superstruc-
ture and PEDESTAL have not single grain Of truth to
rest upon, and must, therefore, fall to the ground.
Our arguments, and cur facts to support those ar
4 guments, tended entirely to the reverse. On the
Couriers Indictment " that crime begets crime, "
we amaigned the leaders ofthe Democratic party and
the party itself, and demonstrated that all the evils
complained by the Courier admitting them to be
true, for the sake Of argument) were the legitimate
4 fruit of Democratic crimes committed in years past
and gone Neither by direction nor indrecton, did
we admit, nor shall we admit, that the American
party IS clargable with crimes committed the I'd
Of June. The booths on the other leg.'' Demo-
Gratis tried to perpetrate fraud-dd create distur-
bances-and did endeavor assassinae peaceable and
unofending Americans! In epery case-so far as our
knowledge extends Democrats or ruffans in the pay
Of Democrats were the first to draw the weapons of
DEATH. @
In another part Of the same article, the Courier
very modestly remarks: ="
T9 the psmGcra voters Of this city vent s
sa aw They
ca n at BY an gang Of bull
others and inundated thousands Nofom Of outrage
bdgeans daggers knives and pistols all used Ameri
can citizens without excuse and without mercy
The foregoing, in the way of unfairness, takes the
rag off the bush completely. tisas perfect piece
Of Misrepresentation as have ever met with in our
reading. The Democrats went peacefully to the
polls, did they? We suppose the good, quiet Demo
cratic Mackey, was peacefully disposed, when he
went to the Seventh Precinct became insulting and
abusive, drew pistol and tried to murder some
Americans, and failing with the pistol, pulled out
knife about yard long, with the obvious intent
of laying aboutEhin Unfortunately OF course all
this was peaceful, because Mackey was Democrat.
i Certainly! But the Americans who protected their
\ lives were rioters and assassins. Assuredy! AT
all events such is the tendency of MODERN Louisiana
i Democratic logic.
At the Eleventh Precinct the Democratic Sicilans
proceeded peacefully" to the polls! Most indubta-
/ bly, they did. They only, alta given signal, rushed
forth shooting and stabbing all the Americans they
could lay their eyes upon They only, without cause
1 or proyocation, shot and mangled Mr.. Trepagnier
They only shot and cut two other quiet and unofend
4 ing American gentlemen. That's all they did and
being Democrats and no Americans being in sight to
shoot and stab, Of course they peacefully retired
from the field of battle. ~
The Courier states that there was " no cruelty Of
assassination left untried.' There is truth in this
statement but it is not clothed in truthful garb
/ Thn II,
American party by the use of such language. But il
will fail. Truth is allpowerul, and must prevail
Every Of blood that occurred on the I'd of June
was caused by the attempted =" assassination y OF
Americans by Democrats, or persons claiming to be
Democrats! Here is great, indisputable fact, and
we call upon our readers to consider it we'll The
I twaddle about brass knuckles,n ETC., we do moi
deem worthy notice. Neither would the intimidatet
thousands" spoken of by the Courier, been in
undated without they were towards, and if the,
were towards they were not deserving the franchise
of feemen.
The following paragraph is gem in its way. w
reproduce it, in order that it may have circulation
among the Americans of New Orleans, and in orde
that the people may know what the organ of tht

ffths of the native business men of the city and thu
owners of an equal amount of the real estate of th

n We have shown in another portion of this article
that the foregoing agerment far as they relate t.
us, are absolute, unmitigated falsehoods. We hay
nothing more to say on this point.
- The American party can afford to smile at thes
ehullitions of spite We may, however, remind til
Courier that it is in bad taste for it to say anything
about the numberess yillanies of the American
