New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-12-01
:. WORSE AND WORSE"

Under the foregoing caption, the Baton Rouge Adj
vocate of Wednesday last essays reply to an article
that appeared in the Crescent the previous Monday,
correcting the of article that had been pub
lished in the Advocate days before, in reference
to occurrences assumed to have ranspredn this city
on the day of the late election.
While we regret the persistence Of our contemporary
in determination to do injustice to New Orleans
and majority of its population, we shall again pro-
coed to the vindcation of the city from uncaedfor,
wanton and cruel attacks without regard to the spe
cial pleadngs the unimportant techncalities and
quibblings behind which our contemporary seeks to
stem the force and truth of our Mondays article
We quote the opening paragraph Of the Advocates
article of Wednesday last 26th ultimo:
We would advise our Of the New Orleans Ores
s sd that IN hat the Ps
Dental election. 1t only involves possible the of
aSefT @ the s

no whit with less indignation tile fact itself.
The above states what cannot be substantiated and
would lead the uniformed reader to believe that I'M
usual disorders and outrages occurred in this city
the day Of the Presidential election. As complete
answer and refutation, we append statement made
in the Crescent on the 18th of November in reply to
had appeared in the Natchez Free Trader. Before
submitting that statement, We will remark to the
editor of the Advocate that the facts therein CON
tanned have been disputed. They neper acW be
disputed by any man who has character worth
caring for, who possesses the smallest regard for
truth. They are strictly true.
With these observations quote from the Crescent
of the 10Th ult., and beg the Advocates attention.
