& If the Radical-Grant party and the
g Die-in-the- Ditch y faction are not in
alliance, why is it that each meets with
such hearty concentrations from the
other. McEnery and Jonas T Landed
by the Citizens Guard, while the Plea
yi1ne holds Antoine and Kellogg up as
the beau ideal of conservative states
men. 1t is not often that political oppO-
nents find occasion to indulge in such
suave cOuTtesies, unless, as is rumOred,
they mean, in the end, to vote alike,
in which case the united State ticket
will be dropped, and all the local in
huence adhering to it transferred to the
Kellogg ticket, This imference-and it
appears reasonable in the face OF it
will account for this extraordinary in
intimacy. To be complementary when
nothing can be said by either of the
other SO harsh as to be unjust, naturally
excites surprise, and especially, when
one of the parties is something like the
tricky old fox that lost his tail in a trap,
and then tried to persuade has race that
it had become the fashion, and should
be initiated by them; 1t is true that the
many tricks of the CustOmhOuse party
are known, but it is equally we'll known
that they are fruitful of novelties OF
this description, and q devise as fast
as detected. Tits a pity, however, that
the hitherto proud and chiyalrous lead
ers of the Democracy have consented to
play the tool to such men as Packard
Antoine, Kellogg & Co. The mere idea
a year ago would have been secuted al
impossible.
But the question arises whether O
scheme SO himsily disguised will sustain
the scrutiny of the masses. To thit
not. The leaders, or pretended leaders
may submit to it, but the Ehonest-think.
ing voters viii never yield to such in
famy.-[N. O. Republican.

How the "United State Ticker
is Received.

The announcement of the combined
Democratic State ticketin this city crea-
ted about as much excitement as a first
class suicide would. The efforts of 20
litical hacks to choke that ticket down
the public throat willnOt take. The DeO-
pie have no objection to the men, but
they do object to the manner in which
they were nominated. The gentlemen
who have been announced on that ticket
would exhibit theirgOOd sense, as others
have shown, to withdraw their names.
If they do not now see that they have
no show OF election they will find it out
in November, when the end sought by
the people will be defeated us well as
they, and who will he responsible fOrit?
The politicians who think an office good
for sore eyes-or the people who think
these politicians too blind to be cured
at the sight Of an office; we opine that
the sore eyes Of those candidates will
never be cured if they are depending
on the cream from old brindleS milk to
dOit.-[BatOn Rouge Gazette and Comet,
July 18th.

the ticket. We, thefore, withdraw the
ticket from the head Of0ur columns, and
recommend the people to look to the
August convention for a ticket to defeat
Grant and Kellogg
Ameeting will be held in De Soto par
ish on the thirteenth to elect delegates
to the Liberal State Convention, and0ne
i'll BOSsier on the tWenty-SGcOnd for the
same purpose.
The Minden Democrat urges thenom-
nation by the fifth Of August conven-
ton of Governor WarmOth.
The public sentiment in all the Red
river parishes is fully aroused to the ne
cessity Of carrying out the Liberal move
ment upon the basis and according to
the views adopted by the Shreveport
meeting of July 4. This sentiment is
8 rapidly increasing, and the unauthorized
8attempt of the central committees in
New Orleans to fOrestall this action of
o4he people is repudiated with strong ex-
L R~ressiOns of displeasure. CADDO.

From the Baton Rouge Advocated

Bear in mind that Henry Wilson, the
man selected by the Grant party as
candidate for the second office i'll the
government. was Il KnOW-NOthing in
full standing in 1854, and March 1855, as
the representative of that party i'll the
United States Senate, presented a petit
ton from his constitution praying, a
repeal of the naturalization laws OF the
United States. Here is the oath he sub
scribed to when he took the ".'@&rlCt

Rrom the New Orleans Times.l

In case of THE demise of General Grant,
in the event of his election, it would be
important to know something of the
character, principles and ideas of the
man who is to be his successor. We pub
lished several days ago a note from an
old andhighlyrespectablc citizen, show
ing the bitter bigOtry manifested some
wears ago toward II Catholic citizens
by Henry Wilson, i'll his exclusion Of the
delegates from this State from the
NnoW-Nothing Convention because they
declined to sign a pledge Of hostility to
the Catholics.
The following will show his general
sentiments toward Il foreign born
citizens, 1t is an extract from a speech
of Wilson'S made in Boston in 1856.
I'm the heart of the foreigner beats not q sin
