1t has been openly vowed by the Demo
Gratis that the vote Of New Orleans would
be thrown out, if violence was resorted to
to control the election on the 4th. 1t IS well
known that the Democracy are stirring
heaven and earth, to carry Louisiana, and 1t
Is also well known, that this they cannot do,
if the American party is suffered TO leave the
city with the ma loTlty they expect and Will
get.
Now it must be apparent, 10 any man OF
common sense, that the Democracy intend
playing just the game in New Orleans that
will cause the vote TO be thrown out, if It is
possible to do SO, and AS they have the power
In their own hands, there is not the slightest
doubt but that they will act as they did in
the last Legislature. They have already by
their Notice TO the Democratic party" eX-
cited the Indignation OF the Americans, and
1t will require but a slight spark to kIndle
thGg feelings into d flame that cannot bot re-
suit in difficulty, At the polls it is easy
enough to get up 4 rIot-@mash the ballot
boXes-kiIi a dozen or more-chsrge It upon
the American party, and-throw out the
vote Of New Orleans.
This scheme is plain enough, and needs no
practlsed eye to discover il. But our design
ing opponents Will be foiIed, if they imagine
to succeed by any such game. A prominent
State official asserted publicly, AID it is 4
general remark by the knoasing Democrats,
that they THE Democracy do not care what
majority We leave New Orleans ~with-fheg
.eaI sal carry the Statcl Now the vote Of
every parish is pretty well ascertaitled, and
We are as well posted in that matter as our
adversaries. and we agree with them entire
ly. that without the vote Of New Orleans trs
cannot carry the State. Hence the necessity
OF killing of the vote of the city. Nor do
they work for party interest alone in this
matter, but they have large sums bet on the
election in this State and knowing the no G.
~lessness of winning, they are driven to this
measure as a last resort. And they know
that if the American party once carries Loui-
siana, they viii keep il, and SO the " leaves
and fishes" will vanish from their grasp.
They are playing = deep game, but they will
be toiled
