FELICIANA DEMOCR1AT. N , OMMUNIOATED. KNOW NOTHING ECONOMY. A Statement of Facts, to the Tax Payers of East Feliclana. The Police Jury met at Its regular session, June 4, 5, and 6. 1855. Various subjects of parochial affairs came up and were passed upon' accounts of the Parish Treasurer and School Superintendent came up, the parish treasurer mines $11 06. School fund $4,087 88, found to be in the hands of W. W. Chapman, Mills & Cleveland, and Poole & Frank. Why and for what purpose they were in these hands was not stated ; these funds were asked for by one of the examining committee, to be counted, but were not forthcoming. The Commissioners of Bridges, in Ward No - & 5, acting together, had disagreed as to the price to be paid for the building of a bridge and the matter was referred to the whole juryn a cotmmttee was appointed, who accepted and paid $500 for said bridge, (Moore, dissenting) when it was in proof that the builder had bid the building of said bridge down to $885 00 against another competitor who was willing to take the building of the same for $860. A Committee was appointed to ascertain for what amount the printing of the Police Pro ceedings could be done for the term of one year, which comnmittee reported that the Par ihi TreIasury was ll\B ukrlupt and that they would not ,publish the samue at the expense of Printing. Mr. Brown then proposed that the pro'eedings he printed, provided they could be done at the same price, it cost to write them ,ff for publishing in the different wards, whichll prolosition was accepted and the Patriot was proposed to do said printing; it was off'ered that the Democrat would publish the piroceedings for nothhing.* Agreed to, and a bond was moved for'by I). C. M'Millan, of $500 to he required of the Democrat for the faithful performance of the duty, for swthihg; this proposition was lost. The democratic office having subsequently received printed copies of the jury proceedings, very properly concluded that his proposal to do hce printing for nothing, was by some higher law, nullified, and did not publish them. The Jury again met on the 1th July. The lmuestiou of the printing was again taken upi i. N. De Lee offered a resolution that the A steric.n Patriot be elected printer for the en suing year and that $175 be allowed for the same. B. M. G. Brown offered as an amend ment to the above, that the Demnocrat be elected to perform said duty, for one year, for the sum of $100; lost. Yeas, Brown, Moore; Nays, Gore, Perkins, Flower, D])e Lee and M'Millnn. It was then mloved by Mr. Brown, that inas much as the parish was reported ais iuolcent, the printing of the proceedings of the jury be dispensed with ; this imotion was also lost by the same vote. The final vote was then takeh on the original resolution as offered by ])e Leo which was adopted as follows,-yeas, Gore, Flower, Perkins, DI)e Lee, M' Millan,-nocs, Brown, Moore. g,o the propopition to do the printing for $175, was accepted over the offer to do the same for $100. These with other extravagant appropriations and payments of extravagant bills of various kinds, will very soon let the tax payers of East 'cliciia know something of the benefits to be derived from know nothing e esnmmy, in the affairs of the Parish. Fnrther comnment is nnnecessary. A MEMBER OF TIIE JURY. SThe I'arlsh would have incurred no expense, yet the publisher would have received full and ample private renunmeratlon therefor. Know Nothing Platforms. In a former numbelr, we published the Philadelphia and Clevelanudplutforms. Annexed is the original, as first laid down by the order, ajnd that of the conven tion, at New.Orleans. TIIE ORIGINAL K. N. I'LATFORM. 1. Repeal of all naturalization laws. 2. None but native Americans for office. 3. A pure American common school sys tem. 4. War to the hilt on Rontanisnm. 5. Opposition, first and last, to the for mation of military companies composed of foreigners. 6. The advocacy of a sound, healthy and safe nationality. 7. Hostility to all Papal influences, in whatever form and whatever name. 8. American institutions and American sentiment. 0. More stringent and effective omigrae. tion laws. 10. The amplest protection to Protestant interests. 11. The doctrines of the revered Wash ington and his compatriots. 12. The sending back of all foreign pau pers landed on our shores. 13. The formation of societies to protect all American interests. 14. Eternal enmity to all who atempt to carry out the principles of a foreign chuch or state. 15. Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. 16. And finally, American laws and American legislations, and death to all for eign influences, whether in high places or low. TIE LOUISIANA PLATFORM. 1. We advocate an amendment of the Naturalization Laws, with proper safe guards to preserve the purity of the elec tive franchise. 2. We advocate the passage of sutch laws as will prevent the immigration o(f paupers and criminals to this country. 3. We oppose any interference with the vested rights of all persons, whether they he of native or foreign birth. 4. We are in favor of non-intervention with slavery by the Federal Goverment, except for the protection of our constitu tional rights. 6. We advocate a high National Policy, such as will afford stern and unwavering protection to the American name abroad and will follow and guard the Americans citizen wherever he moves. 6. We believe that America shoubld be governed by Americans, effecting the tame through the ballot-box alone, the only lo. gitimate instrument of reform in this coun try. 7. We believe that the office should seek the man, and not the man the office, and shall oppose the distributionof office among officeseekers, or as a reward for partisan services. 8. We will maintain and defend the Cor. stitution of the United States, the Union as it now exist, and the rights of the States without diminution, existing upon a faith ful performance on the part of the General Government of all the duties enjoined upon it by the Constitution. 9. While we approve of the platform adopted by the late National Council of the American Party at Philadelphia, we reject the application of the principles of the eighth article to American Catholics as unjust, unfounded and entirely unworthy of our country. We shall forever contin uo to protest against any abridgement of religious liberty, holding it as a cardinal maxim that religious faith is a question he twccn each individual and his God. We utterly condelmn any attempt to make re ligious belief a test for political office, and can never affiliate with any party which holds sentiments not in accordance with these. 10. We war with no party as such; but shall oppose all who oppose us in the ad vocacy of these great American principles. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. CLINTON BRANCH RAIL ROAD.
