THE AETI-LIBERAL ORaAEs

Inc UralH organ and the Camp street
McEnery organ showed their cards in
describing the great Liberal procession of
last Saturday night Both papers try to be-
little that great uprising Of the people Of
this city. It is now morally certain that
these papers are working for the same
purposa-the election Of Grant and VIII
son though the Picay9,e hypocritically
pretends to support Greeley and Brown.
The version given by these papers of
last Saturday nights procession is as far
from the truth as the language that de-
scribes it is from decency. And as news
paper abuse is said to have made Mr.. Van
Buren, President, we are tempted to make
extracts from the accounts given by the
papers in question Of the greatest politi-
caldemonstration of the season, for the
purpose of verifying what we say, and at
the same time give the public an oppor-
tunity to see what newspaper abuse is
doing for Governor Warmoth.
The two organs have evidently We'd with
each other upon this particular occasion
for the mastery in the art of billingsgate,
and, according to our poor judgment in
matters of this kind, the Citizens Guard
leads the Pic il this trial for the SUI
premacy in dealing out newspaper abuse.
The Guard of Sunday becomes a black
guard Of the first magnitude, far out
stripping the Pic in its attempts to mis-
represent the grand popular movement of
last Saturday night. On the subject. of
"bummers, minions, satellites, stipen-
diaries, Office expectants, general fac-to-
TENS and SuJ0rdoned hirelings of. ali sorts
of characters and antecedents, and for a
knowledge of every bad ''hole and corner
from the seething purlieus of Galatin
and Philippe streets and Corduroy alley"
the Guard now stands unrivaled. It is as
much at home in these matters as the Pic,
and throws it's dirt, as the following ex-
tract will show, with an ease and grace
the Dolly Warden print has not yet at
tanned;
>
scientifically stocked pack was played last
night, much to the amusement Of intelligent
observers. a grand pageant was an
nOunceG-a very lava tide OF the masses,
eager to show their trust and confidence in
WarmOth, and who, III. countless numbers
and OVerpOwering enthusiasm, were to de-
mOnstrate to a wondering people the power
and might that till dwelt with the tyrant
of Louisiana. For weeks past all that ru-
mOrs, bummers, miniOns satellites, sti-
pendiaries, Office eXpectants, general fac to-
TENS and subOrdOned hirelings Of all sorts
Of character and antecedents could do to
intimidate, bully, force, hire, buy, delude
and deceive the ambitious or the helpless,
the cunning or the trusting, the guilty or
the innocent the strong or the weak into
lending their presence to this proposed i'm
pressive ceremony of amnesty for his ex-
cellency's sins and grand ratification of his
eXceIlenCy's official career was done; and
not a hole and corner from the seething
puTlieus of Galatin and Phillippa streets
and Corduroy alley to the beautiful pala-
tial mansions of the First and Fourth Dis
tricts were left unCanvassed for the better
carrying out of this most laudable and
praisewOrthy purpose. And not in vain,
indeed, did the hirelin9s work, for last
night might have been seen the glOved and
perfumed slave OF ill-gOtten power march
shoulder to shoulder with the reeking deni-
zen of the slums, vieing with each other as
to which should show the most abject and
creeping submission, and exhibit the most
servie and disgusting fealty to the lean and
greedy Cassius who fills the executive chair
Of Louisiana.
The above must be considerd one Of the
Guards best efforts in the way of news
paper abuse; and although the Pic is a
far more pretentious sheet, the follow
ing extract taken from it's account Of the
great popular demonstration last Saturday
night is decidedly. tame when compared
with the above extract from the Guard:
= The attempt of Governor Warmoth and
his small army of tax collectors and other
OticehOlders to cTystalize a party in this
State under the name of the Liberal RE
publican party Of Louisiana, has at last as
predicted, eveBtuated in a distinguished
failure. The fact that the Liberal Organiza-
ton was gotten up by WarmOth was
enough to insure such a result, but, how
ever strong the convictions may have been,
that no considerable portion of the people
could be bTOughttO the support of a party,
the thinly disguised purpose Of which was
to rescue its chief head from Infamous
memory and political oblivion, still expecta-
ton was hardly prepared for so remarkable !
a demonstration OF popular disapprObatiOn
of the movement as took place last evening.
Days and weeks had been occupied by
the special friends of the GOvernOr-the
men who live in the shadow of his presence
and feed on the fat things that drop from
his table-in getting up what they proposed |
should be a grand torchlight procession for
the purpose of overwhelming the ,cOnven-
ton on Monday with display Of the power
and popularity Of the Governor. Vast sums
OF money were spent in this behalf. and |
banners, and transparcncies. and all the in
sigma employed on such occasions were
prepared and paid for out Of purses made !
tat with spOils wTenched from the hard |
earnings Of the people.
But all has come tOnaught, and the great !
demonstration of last night turned out the !
most signal tzzle ever known in the history |
Of political parties in this country.
The public viii not be surprised at any
thing that emanates from these papers in
the way Of newspaper abuse of Governor |
Warmoth. but some who can't understand |
the game the Pic and the Last Ditchers
are playing, will be little astonished to
find the calico print Ginning in with the |
Grant organs Misrepresentation of the
great Liberal demonstration of Saturday |
night.
AN EXCESS OF s0IICITUDE.
