New Orleans ns 1t Is-Not as Misrepresentcd

nds Hoi DteH paying operation THIS season.
New Orleans ns 1t Is-Not MS MIsrepresemtcd.
Certain journals having, as it would appear, to
accomplish purely partisan ends, determined to
give New Orleans bad name at home and abroad,
regardless of and reckless of the pride
which should animate every good citizen, We have
| concluded to spread number Of facts before the
people for the general information.
| Everything bad which has been done within the
| past two or three weeks has been charged to the
| American party and its members. Not a fight has
1 occurred, nor killing has been perpetrated, but
| which has been put down to the account of the
| Americans: and the opponents of the American
party, in their speeches and newspapers have used
the most violent, inlanrnatory and exaggerated
| language, when referring thereto. Indeed, their
persistent systematic and outrageous misrepresen.
tation of facts have led many honest people to
beiieNe that the American party, and its respect
able members, countenanced riots, affrays and
even murders, just prior to clcctions-than which
nothing could possibly be further from the truth.
| There was no political excitement in New Or
leans on the 30th of September. We have taken
the pains to collate the principal afrays and acci-
dents which have taken place since that time up
to the I'd instant. By scrutnizing the appended
list, the reader will discover, and the candid reader
will acknowledge, that the gross datribes against
the American party by the opposition press and
orators have little no foundation in fact, and that
barely more than t,reM part of the infractions of
law can be truthfully laid to the door of politics.
With these preliminary remarks we submit the list
referred to, to the consideration of an honest and
impartial public
