~ The puri1lers at Work.

It is now very generally understood through
out North Louisiana, that the purifiers Of New
Orleans aided by their immaculate country
allies-the Bob Tails-will make a desperate
effort to get possession Of and control the Demo-
cratic State Convention, to convene at Baton
Rouge on the 9th Of March next. We take this
occasion to inform these ambitious gentlemen.
that the real Democracy are on the watch
towers" and are well posted as to their de-
signs, and that they will govern themselves
accordingly. For one, we are decidedly op-
posed to admitting any person or persons to
seats in the Baton Rouge Convention, who can
not give the password, sign and signal Of an
out and out Democrat. To use quotation,
nothing but good and square work " should
be permitted to pass the CoMMITrE ON CREDEN-
TAILS. If Democracy is worth anything, it is
worth everything, and nothing BOGUS should be
admitted to its State or National Councils
We can afford now and then to give our Bob
Tail" friends q little latitude, (for the sake of
charity and amusement) but we wish it dis
tinctly understood, that this is not the season of
amusenents in political circles The time has
come when the Democracy Of Louisiana, must
face the music and do its whole duty regardless
of circumstances or results. Then let her send
her abest and most reliable representatives to
the CHARLESTON CONVENTION, for with her six
votes judiciously used in that august body, she
may have it in our power to decide the
destiny (by nominating proper candidate for
the Presidency Of the nation for all time to
come. With such fact as this looking us full
in the face, the Democracy Of this State cannot
be too jealous of the antecedents of such as
aspire to mingle in her deliberations. Then let
q vigilant eye be kept upon our rs PRIMARY
MEETINGS, ~u@ III order that no wolf may be
sent to the Baton Rouge Convention in sleeps
clothing for no person or persons should be
commissioned Us delegates who have been
weighed in the balances and found wanting
As public journalist, we have never thought
it necessary to aid in prosecuting " Bob TAIL
ISM into fame, but in such times as these, we
think it necessary and expedient that every
man should expose his hand and express bis
views, especially when his sentiments are such
as will aid in Staying error aud establishing
eternal truth. We take this occasion, then, to
call upon the genuine Democracy of the doubt
full distincts to be up and doing, so that they
may present themselves at the approaching
State Convention without spot or wrinkle an.
ply prepared for any emergency lett emanate
from whatever source it may.
IT we understand the pulse of the North
Louisiana Democracy, we feel confident that
the PURIFIERS" and their Tailess allies will
be disposed Of in q manner altogether agree
able to the wishes of great and enlightened
people, who look to the National Democracy
alone, as the saviour, both of the STATES and
the UNION. If our State Conventions are com
posed Of the right material, men will be dele
gated to represent us at the CHARLESTON Con-
vEN1loN capable of giving BLACK REPUBLICAN,
ISM death stab, by the nomination of a candi
date, whose past and present antecedents car
but lead the great conservative masses NORTH
and South to certain victory. On the other
hand, if our State Conventions are composed
OF doubtful characters who prefer the triumph
of men and sectionalism instead of principle

need an interpreter. Then, let every national
DEMOCRAT lend q hand and work while the day
lasts, for great political night may soon over
take US, when no man can work, let his inten
tons be what they may.
| If the PURIFIERS, by getting possession of the
PRIMARY MEETINGS in New Orleans, succeed il
the organization Of the State Convention, III,
country Democracy will have no one to blan,
but themselves; for if all the country parshe
are properly and fully represented, such re
suit can by no possible combination of cir
