"Old citizens are dnagooned into an
opposition they do not feel.'' Falsehood
on falsehood! Pelion up on Ossa!-
Point out, Me- Casey, one single such
citizen thus ''drag0oned." You know,
Mr.. Casey, that this is vile Islander to
thousands Of the best of men. ~
"Our members are poor and our al

Let the civilized world look upon this
hideous picture of the conflict between
;. s'partv" and civilization. Whatla lesson
have we here, even at this very moment
for some to contemplate, whom the best
civilization of Louisiana have iDtrusted
with her welfare!h Does not this dis
patch of Collector Casey clearly define
the political status to this people?-
What is the conflict but that of dishon-
esty and despotism against liberty and
civilization? Is there longer room for
groveling "poliry?" Can this people
afford to be divided another day by the
class of POLITICAL aspirants so brilliantly
!, illustrated in Collector Casey?-[Nev
