Show STILL ON THEIR GUARD. The A ntl-Lottery People of New Orleanl Not to ho Deceived. Xf.w Orleans, Feb. 5. The Jfym Delia, toe organ of the anti lottery party, contain an interview with the chairman of the anti; lottery democratic executive committee, to the effect that Morris' withdrawal of his lottery lot-tery proposition will not mako the slightest change in tbe programme of their party. He adds that the proposition heretofore made by the lottery is no longer acceptable to its advocates by reason of the curtailment of its revenue through tho decision of the supreme court. But, should tho attempt to capture tho statu not succeed, they may yet strive to call a constitutional convention under the I rete.xt of regulating suffrage, anil obtain another grant for the lottery in a new constitution con-stitution in terms more favoraple than tho amendment now pending, or adopting other means of achieving t heir object. All former for-mer experiences with the lottery, says the chairman, ltuve tnught us that it is fertile in schemes to affect its purposes. We intend to see that the amendment is voted down in April be such a majority as to preclude all posslblllto or' further agitation on the question, ques-tion, and that none but anti-lottery men shall betplaced on guard until all lotteries have c.iased to maintain a legal existence iu the state of Louisiana. |
