I EXCESSIVELY AnIIABLE.

The subjoined excessively amiable article appeared
the New Orleans Courier of Saturday morning last
The gentle, justand kindly spirit which pervades It

have concluded to immortalixe it with the benefit of
our well-nak universally diiFdsed circulation. The

none of the exquisite oyeliness of the production

We call especially upon the voters Of the First and
Second Congressional Districts to come up warmly to
the work. and poll every vote for candidates Let
them rec6ect that although every exertion is being
made by the Superintendent Of Elections to insure
fair election, yet the tragic history Of the bloody
farces which have been enacted in the city of New
Orleans every election day. for the last two years,
still deeply imprinted on tho memory of the sufferers.
Many good Democrats are tiuid- I'VE regret to say
that many are uketcnTn-and these, and many more,
may may not 60 to the polls. Therefore, while we
believe the good men OF our party here will work
actively and steadily to bring out our whole vote,
they have very hard work before them, and are en-
titled to call upon their country brethren to exert
Themselves too to the utmost to put the election OF
our two congressman beyond doubt. The fatal mis-
take Of the Democracy Of the Third District IN per-
hitting themselves to be distracted by personal ques-
honato such extent as to endanger their success
renders it doubly incumbent the First and Second

realize their position, If they should lose the election

Eustis might be endured as negative evil, but the
very parchment of the commission would blush as 1t
received the name of Burke.

Then comes shortly after the affecting part 1t is
positively teardistilng. 1t takes the doors of SYM
pathy clean off their hinges, and rolls up the curtain
Of pity to terrific height. Says the Courier, after
ntimating that the Superintendent of Elections not
outstanding the autocratc powers with which he is
clothed, will hardly be able t. prevent 'scrim
mage on election day: Many good Democrats are
timid J" Goodness gracious! Is that a fact? Can,
it be possible? When was the stupendous discovery
made? What Christopher Columbus went on yoy-
age and found it out? Timid ~ You don't say so !!
Democrats timid!" Great Caesar! If some Demo-
Gratis wot Of should get hold of the editors of the
Courier, or anybody else, we should be profoundly
sorry for them. That we should. We sincerely trust
this imputation of timidty, broadly hurled at the
Democratic party will not get contemporary into
a scrape.
But seriously and in all good nature, we respect
fully submit that such articles as the above are only
calculated to do harm, and no good. The mass of
the American party Of New Orleans is composed of
true honest and patriotic men as ever breathed.
Their superiors, in all the attributes which elevate
and adorn humanity cannot be found in any city on
this or any other continent. There may be bad men
attached to their political organization, bnt there
did not belong, and there never will be- They, how
ever on this account, are not necessarily mean and
murderous !" it does not follow that they are guilty
of "vile doings ]" it does not make then, "set at
naught all law and justice y it noes not render them

violence, sometimes extending to assassination
Nothing of the sort, But, we find we are going fur
ther than we intended, and will close this branch of

One word more: The bitter alluson to Mr. Burke
will not, we are persuaded, do that gentleman any
injury. He is too well known to the community for
such missiles to damage him. STILL were it all true it
would be in shocking bad taste for any journal that
faunts the name of Thomas Green Davidson at its
mast-head as candidate for Congress, to alude to
the shortcomings, real or imaginary, of any other
candidate for precisely similar station. And should
Mr. Burke be elected as we hope and believe he will
be, be will do honor to the position and be of great
benefit to his immediate constituents and the people
| Of the State at large. e.
