scriptions against the cooperation of any, On an
true men, for the pitfuI consideration of oficia,
spois to be secured among themselves br i fsw
banded recipients and expectants. It Is time that
there should be Democratic party which shall
maintain the honor the interests, and fhe rights OF
Louisiana, and uphold the true principles of DEM
ocracy above the miserable struggle for official pa
tronage; and the great masses Of her true Demo-
craey, with ali true men who shall cooperate with
them will surely and speedily build up DeHgo-
cratic party worthy of our noble State. Indeed It
has become question of serious doubt whether,
for the last tive or three years more there has
been or Is now, any Democratic party at all in the
State. II is true we have vast number Of good
and true Democrats all over the State bnt singular
% il may appear, they don't constitute q Demo-
cratic party; there is party organization in their
midst that has surped the control and direction Of
their actions, and managed to use their power
and Influence for the especial and selfish purposes
Of those who compose that organization, whilst the
masses Of the Democracy whom they thus use ara
entirely unaware Of this secret machinery by
which they are made the mere Instruments, or
tools, Of its chief movers.
The recommendation in question strikes the right
chord in the right time. If there ever was time
that invited, yea, urged union and harmony among
the people Of the Sonth, now is that time. There
are no political questions to divide them-all old
I issues have become obsolete and dead; I; even Mr..
buchanan, with MFR. John SideiI to help him. and
I. Louisiana convention TO back him up can't
resnrreet and vtalize protective tariff to save
h their gizzards Then what ia there to divide us?
Have one set of men, claiming to be Democrats
P determined to prescribe and denounce other Dem
ocrats, because they cannot use them for the pur
:, pose Of keeping the offices and honors among
themselves? Do they mean to prescribe all other
persons because there are not offices enongh for
a 50 great an increase in the Democratic family!
lrnly TINS must be the secret spring that actuates
those who object to union SO reasonable and
right, and so important to the welfare 81 me South
i If these are the principles and mstiges that
d govern those who denounce as y consDirGc,f
that recommendation, and the sentiments OF those
who offered it, then indeed is there but little to fear
it from their rawlings who thus maddened BY the
: fear themselves of losing their future chances of
bargaining away their hirthrght for mess Of pot
n tage. Their villitcations serve only to disgust
e Intelligent men everywhere, and the bitter venom
m with which the gentlemen who signed that paper
are assailed by them, carries it's own destructive

Y dened and blinded by rage bite themselyesand die
