THE INSIDE ORGANIZATION.

THE INSIDE ORGANIZATION. aa
From the Clinton Cast Feciana) Democrat. 2ad inst1
We have warned the Democratic party Of Louis
lana, of what believe to be true, the erstence of
an inside organization tcithin its midst which
lies more less throughout every parish in the State.
Events at the late Cincinnati Convention, federal
patronage in this State, and more recent political
movements among u.s. all seeming to be directed and
coh.toiieounder ene superior head, conspre to the
conviction that there something rotten desperately
rotten IN the midst Of the Democracy of Louisiana and
s TINS that now spreading political death in
| ranks with all its woes.
There are many high-minded, noble and talented
| gentlemen OF the Democratic party throughout the
state, who have honorable aspirations and are emf
nently worthy Of political distinction and position
There are many ardent and talented young men in
| the Democratic ranks who, by an enlightened and
liberal encouragement, destined as future orna-
ment to the State and honor to our party But alas
| it has now become almost fixed fact that none such
can expect to attain to any political honors or posi-
| independent spirit, and bow submissively to the
behests of this secret power until they shall come
down into the corrupt purieus Of low political in
trgue and serve their apprenticeship in all the dirty
chicanery OF their assumed masters before they can
be considered competent for political advancement to
higher grade of similar tactics. May God save the
young Democracy Of Louisiana from such a political
schooling. and such degrading political character.

But let the future take care of itself sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof" That secret power
is now in full blast 1t is already scattering its pes.
tentia influence throughout the State and its windy
organs catch up its death notes and reecho them in
pompous denunciations, threats Of intimidation and
abusive epithets of all those who would arrest the
whitening pestience, and save our party from the
inevitable and fatal destruction which is threaten
ingit.
This secret influence has already struck down the
larger body OF the Democracy of New Orleans. The
true Democracy of that city could not submit to the
unjust sway which was usurped over them by which
tneV were to be made mpnialS in fho hop
ers OF wood and drawers Of water for the aggranise
ment OF selected few, to be pampered with official
pos as the creature and instruments of their chief
Thus has this secret influence given death blow to
the Democracy Of New Orleans, and there are none
there now to do reverence to our party but those
have betrayed the trust Of the Democracy of the
State for the countrys good, with the hopeful clan
whom they feed with the federal pap.
This secret influence having eHeetually done it
work in New Orleans, it now seeks wider range fol
its devouring propensities. The Democracy Of th.
country must be brought under its ban-must bt
made to succumb to its insidious and insatate powe
and bend obsequious to its imperious commands
Already are its chosen sentnels posted at all points
willing and ready co-operators in all its well laid plot
and plans, marking his victims, and beguiing tn,
unwary into its meshes, and if independent, high
minded and honest Democrat dares stand up ant
attempt to breast this secret power death in the po
is at once pronounced against him, and straigbtway
simultaneous and hideous yells Of dennncation ant
vuperation are heaped upon him from all directions
with such fury as would seem enough to damn hin
to eternal perdition without the benefit of clergy
were it not known that all their noise and bluser wa
designed more for the purpose of yelling over anG
screening the public view from their own hideou
corruptons, rather than for the hope of effect agans
any honest, true and faithful Democrat.
The baneul consequences Of this secret organized
influence are now plainly to be all the State
and will be most seriously felt in November next
The Democratic State ticket that ought to be elected
by an overwhelming majority, yea, almost by default.
is now trembling in uncertainty from the parazins
infp nff
in Congress seems destined to complete reversal
what it has heretofore been depending only upon the
spirit and energy of the true high toned, and un
bought Democracy of the Second District to preven
= so disastrous and shameful catastrophe Such arr
truly the cherries prospects of the Democracy o
Louisiana. He, and his coadiutors, whom we hol,
responsible for this state of affairs, are well known
They have raised this storm-the consequences b
! upon their own heads. Freemen will not submit t
be controlled, dictated to and forced by threats an
abuse as if they were slaves.
In the Third District this secret influence is nov
rampant in its onward career of ruin Not satisie
to contine its operations among the people of tn
district at large, its legitimate field but it is attempt
ing to strike down the parish candidates of the pee
pie, the candidates who have been fairly and honol
ably nominated by the Democracy of the respectiy,
parishes throughout the District 1t lays unholy AM
uniustifabe hands upon the parish candidates, AM
attempts to draw them into the ruinous vortex whic
it has created 1t threatens to rule the parish cand
dates into its traces or rule them out of their election
pAcSe
dure is unparalleled in the history of the Democratic
party, and exhibits an insanity which seems ben
upon the accomplishment of its mad purposes ever
) at the hazard of general and sweeping defeat o
every parish candidate in the District. We warn al
those concerned in such fatal purpose of the ruiz
which their needless, headlong will bring upor
party. We warn them of the bitter fate to which
! they are booming themselves.
Those who make these threats here are known al
well as their strikers. We fear them not We asl
no fayors but expect justice and right. But let then
attempt to carry out their purposes. Let them at
tempt the sacrifice of the Democratic nominees of thi
parish to their own selfish and revengeful purposes
Let them do it publicly or secretly, and the day o
retribution will speedily come They shall shake ii
their shoes and their knees shall smte another il
and trembling at the appalling picture oftherow
political sins. A
Solong as this Congressional question shall remai
unsettled, so long will those of the candidates in thi
parish, who may believe it their duty to do so rera
from taking sides with either division of the party.
