80 remain even unto this day.
The candidates of the anti-ad-
ministration party were c. c. Pack
ard, in Plaquemines, and one Camp,
in Algiers, who in consequence re-
ceived Waterloo defeat, and who
both left their country for their
country's good, and were left out
side the Senate, for their own and
that of the State. Laus Deo.
But the impudence of the above
resolutions is also absolutely SUBJ
lime. Three old women, and no
bodies; who represent nothing, but
their vile and insignificant selves,
and they could represent nothing
worse, if they represented Pande-
monium; get together in some dark
chamber or .1fue cent grocery in Al
giers, and in humble imitation of
the three tailors of Tooley street
who commenced a proclamation with
1--WE, the people of England"
draw up the above resolutions, cal
ling upon Senator Butler to resign.
Now, Senator Buffers represen-
tation of Algiers, through the machi-
nations Of these very men is little
more than nominal at the last
election, if we recollect a right
about seventeen hundred votes
were cast in Algiers, and of which
Senator Butler only received about
one hundred and fifty. >. the rest
being given to-. not cast for
Camp, the candidate of these same
men at the aforesaid election, and
man every way fit to represent them;
which in word, sums up our pro-
found contempt for him and them ;,
and means more than a thousand
Philippics,had Justice been reversed
but by some political legerdemain,
only too well understoodby Packard
and Company the result was sub
stantially as stated above, and for
any further information upon the
subject, we refer to Captain Edge
worth, who however would hardly
like to be put upon oath, as to GER
tain, not very harmless pleasantries
..perpetrated upon the ballot
box at the police station, in Algiers,
on the night of the election and
which were fully exposed in the
Legislature, in the contest for Buch-
anan's seat therein, and which can
now be proved, if necessary, by
competent testimony.
Now, with due reference, to the
above curious facts, we say that But
Ter does not represent much in Al
giers, but it is equally certain that
Packard, Villiere and Dumont, do
in no sense, nor under any possible
circumstances, represent the people
of Algiers, and Senator Butler has
Just reason to believe, that his action
in voting for Lieutenant Governor
Pinchback, meets the unqualified
approval ofan overwhelming major
ity of the REAL people of Algiers,
probably of all, except the scum and
the ofscourings of society and the
three old women above referred to.
So much for Algiers, and now for
Plaquemines, glorious invincible, old
Plaquemines. In this parish, if we
recollect Alright, Butler received
over twenty-seven hundred bona
fide votes, and he as fully represents
now the electors who cast those
votes as he did then and as far as
we are able to learn, and our sources
of information are first rate the
whole of those same electors fully
approve and applaud his action in
voting for Pinchback, which fact will
be fully demonstrated, as soon as
meetings can be called to take the
necessary action in the premises,
but had Senator Butler voted for
Coupland or any member of the
Customhouse clique, he undoubted-
ly would have been called upon to
fresign by his constituents in this
parish, who fully approve and ratify
his action at the late election, giye
a full and Undivided support *
