Some OF the more innocent and unsuspecting OF our
readers are perhaps unaware that there exists n ms
State Of Louisiana an organization of desperate poll
ticans banded together for the evident, though as
vet unav0wed, purpose OF 0verthrowing the Demo-
cratic party. That while usnrping the name OF Demo
Gratis, and pretending TO work with u.s. they are %
posed to as In principles and action was the late
Know Nothing party. The echo is the organ Of this
faction in the parish Of Pointe Coupee.
By adroit management, and by taking the Demo
cratic party in Ponte Coupee unawares, these NAL
contents managed to secure q majority IN our late
Parish Convention. Fortunately, from the COM
plexion OF the State Convention, this temporary
triumph has availed them but little and now that
the party is well awake and aware Of their taltorous

It strikes u.s. although it is none Of our business,
that the Pointe Coupee Democrat recommends the
taking Of dangerous ground. II may upset its own
apple cart il it don't look out The allusion in the
first paragraph, it seems to u.s. il unfortunate. The
editor Of the Echo can hardly be the leader of "ac
