There Is an nnanity of feeling in the ranks Of the
American party Of Louisiana, which augurs well for
its future success And why should it not succeed
I The bowling Of the demagogue will certainly have
no influence with the people, when they are made 90
quainted with the fact that the Democracy for some
years have had entire control Of our State
that they have increased enormously the taxes of the
people that they have made way with the peoples
money; that they have made appropriations Of an
exOrbitant character for the purpose of sustaining
party press and party favores thatthey have abused
and failed to carry into effect the provisions of the
Constitution Of the State; that they have passed
laws odious to the people and In direct violation of
entire term Of the State Legislature the city Of New
Orleans by 0ustng the members duly elected by the
legal voters Of that city and elevated in their stead
men of the Democratic party, who failed to receive
majority Of the votes Of her suffragans that they
have wantonly and ontrageously squandered the mu.
nicent donation q public lands made by the general
government to the State that party leaders and
favortes have grown rich by this wasteful expendi-
ture and that, finally the people should look well to
their local interests, for say to them that thew are
in the hands Of party whose every act demonstrates
the necessity Of change in the administration Of the
State government. e750t g8sl
The minds of the people Of Louisiana should not
be diverted from the great interests at stake in our
local affairs by bombastic display of high-soundng
phrases and well turned periods in Democratic organs
upon national affairs. Solid truth and substance ia
what should be given to the people of Louisiana for
their present consideration in regard to local interests
We hear daily bitter complaints of the enormites in
enumerated, and shall feel it to be our duty as
faithful sentinel upon the watch towers, to expose
the many glazing Inconsistencies and extrayagancies
which have of late years marked the rule Of the
Democratic party in Louisiana. ! :.

Col. R. A. HUNTER AND NEGRO SuFFRAeE.-On
our first page this week, will be found full and de-
