Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-11-24
From the N. Q. Courier. Address to the People of Louisiana.

We, the undersigned, representing he ooisAes ef the
 great mass 9f o,0 a1tti-Nasonic Jeliow-cit, zeRs
 mule this declaration:
 Under the present condition of our political and municipal affairs, the anti Masons and teder. alsts of New Orleans deem 1t a duty to reorga1ize the anti Masonic party. We believe it will do good.
 Or course we oppose the democrats, and are dissatisfied with their "rechless and partizan legislation" and particularly dissatisfied with the law lately passed by a democratic legislature, intended to prevent Americans from sIung-shot. ting voters at the polls. We shall also oppose the Imagery of the Know Nothings but take especial care to vote for Know Nothng candi- dates. The fact is we do not care much about how many the know-N Nothing bullies knock down or before election day, but since it Is little unpleasant to compromise our respectablltv we have concluded to form an organization of our own. Hereafter, although we shall vote with know-No othings uniformly and pay our propor- ton oi the necessary election expenses, we do not wish to be blamed for their outrages (although we think they are committed from "sense of injury" and therefore excusable) because we cease to belong to the Know-N othing organiza- ton, and are, henceforth Old Line Anti Ma sons.
 We do not censure the Know Nothings; they are just as patriotic as we are-perhaps little more so-only they are not quite up to all the dodges.
 Of political matters we have this to say.
 Americans must rule America; no foreign pau pers; period of naturalization, forty-fve wears; back bone; down with foreigners and foreign in- Huence; none but native born American for of- flee; orcible purity of the ballot box; secret or ganlzation; exremest hazard; rip saIn and other conservative doctrines.
 Entertaining these views and feelings, we trust that there will be "a speedy and cordial response to our movement throughout the State. At all events, we hope none of those honest men who disapprove of Thuggery and assassna- ton will join the democratic parry when we offer them such feasible plan to escape the blame Of cooperating with the Plug UgIes.-- The Know-N othing creed IS our creed and then candidates are our candidates; but when the slung-shoodng takes place, don't you see, we shall be Old Line Anti Masons, and nobody can blame us for it.
 We think this movement is precisely adapted to the exigences of the occasien. As to leav- ing the Know Nothings in reality we all know that 1t Is out of the question; but we know that great many people who vote our ticket do not like to be accused of aiding and abettiug bulHes: it is better, therefore, for all such to call them selves anti Masons, but continue of course to vote as before.
 We rejoice to see that the old-lne whigs have already formed an organization similar to our own. The success of the Know N othine candidates at the late election illustrates it's practical workings, while it's responsibility is ap- parent from the names of the originators of the movement. We respectfully suggest to those old-Ane whigs of this city who pretend to be- long to the democratic party, but who are led on by the hope of keeping or getting office, to form voting association, which shall bind its members not to go to the polls unless to vote for one of their own number
 Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY OLD-LINE ANTI MAsoys
