A RADICAL LIBEL AND A RADICAL TRICK.

The Republican asserts that the Dem ocracy
are determined to carry the election in this
State by force of arms. The Democratic party
are determined to carry the election, but they
are determined to carry it by force of votes.
The Radicals despair of the State because
their scheme to disfrsnchise the people has
failed, and now they want to make the coun-
try believe that they are kept from the polls
by intimidation. We believe that they intend
to keep their voters from the polls under the
pretext of intimidation on the part of the De-
mocrats, with the view of calling on Congress
to reject the vote of the State. They know
that the election will be quiet and peaceable,
unless it is disturbed by their misguided fol-
lowers and they know that they are already
beaten on the registration, hence they will re-
sort to the customary Radical expedient of
claiming the election on the ground that they
were afraid to vote.
The baseless SANDER upon the Democratic
party, devised by the Radicals in pursuance
of their conspiracy to suppress the voice of
the people of Louisiana, is effectually refuted,
this morning, by the publication of the reso-
lutions of the Central Committee of Demo-
cratic Independent Clubs, rendering ample
protection to all voters, irrespective of party,
or color, or previous condition, in the exer-
else of their rights. This is the desire of the
Dem ocratic party, and it is no less their
desire than their interest. They know that
they can carry the State without a negro
vote; they know that they can carry every
congressional district but they know
that the Radicals, if they can
not cheat the people at the
polls, OF by manipulation of the returns, will
invent some means of cheating them at last,
if any pretext can be invented, based upon
the slightest shadow of fact. The Radicals
no reference to the election, but arose from
the attempt of an intrusive government-the
government of q minority composed of ne
groes and prohigate political adventurers-to
force their odious system upon the people of
this city, and to deprive them of that i'm
pcescriptible right Of local self-government
which was recognized and guaranteed by all
of our State Constitutions up to the formation
of the existing fraudulent instrument.
Any man with an ounce of brains in his
head, and with a capacity for reasoning equal
to that of Hottentot or Congo negro, must
know thatit would be superfuous and. indeed,
suicidal, on the part of the Democracy, to re-
sort to force in order to carry this State for
Seymour and Blair. 1t is only minority
that needs to have recourse to force or fraud;
and the Radicals have been so accustomed to
the use of both of these agencies that they
can conceive of no other method of carrying
an election. But the Democratic party is in
a majority in Louisiana The white populs-
ton of the State is at least 10000 greater

VOTE. VOTE!

Democrats you have reformed an import
ant duty in registering yet only half
your duty. Just as all your efforts, your
energy, your zeal and YOUR enthusiasm would
be useless if you had neglected the formality
of registration, so your registration certif-
Gates will be useless if you do not vote. 1t is
now certain that we can carry the city and
the State by handsome majority; it is GER
tain that the Democracy largely outnumber
the enemy on the registration lists; but this
majority can be made available only by good,
honest voting. We must carry the State for
Seymour and Blair-not by bare majority
only, but by preponderance of votes which
will forever crush the odious and tyrannical
faction of intrusive carpet-baggers and
recreant scalawags, who, by fraud and force,
have usurped possession of the State,
and demonstrate to the world that their in
famous government exists in fragrant defiance
of the public opinion of Louisiana. Wemust
prove to the Republican party that their
scheme of reconstruction is q failure that
they cannot reduce the white people of Louis
lana to subsection that they cannot assure
the adhesion of this State to their organiza-
ton. Wemust accomplish this by giving an
overwhelming majority for Seymour and
Blair.
Democrats! be sure to vote! Vote early,
and then see that your friends and neighbors
vote. Do not be deluded into neglect Of
this solemn duty by the pernicious fancy that
one vote is of no Importance. Every vote is
important! Every vote tells! Every vote
adds strength to the voice with which the PEG.
pie of Louisiana proclaim their detestation Of
Radical schemes, and of the rule of carpet
baggers and scalawags.

THE PROSPECT AT THE NORTH.

weIhave not been disappointed in the ex-
medallion which we expressed that Gov.
Seymour's appearance on the stump would
tell fayorably upon the presidential canvass.
He has r,ade felicitous impression where
ever lie has spoken. His reception along the
whole route from Utica to Indianapolis has
had the character of spontaneous popular
ovation. 1t is clear that the people of the
NORTH and of the West, not excepting all Re-
publeans who are not hopelessly perverted
by tln moral and intellectual obliquities of
Radibalism. admire his ability, respect his in
tegri,y, believe in his patriotism, and recog-
nize him as eminently qualified to dignity and
adora the presidential position, and to
discharge with statesmanlike skill and
wisdom its grave aud delicate duties.
1t would seem, indeed, that this
appreciation of Gov. Seymour, heretofore
obschred by partisan abuse and detraction,
has suddenly flashed upon the popular mind
since the late attempt was made to remove his
nans from the Democratic ticket in favor of
some other name supposed to be more avail
ableI That extraordinary episode, though it
threatened at first to operate disastrously to
the Democratic party, produced sensation
which has had the double effect of rousing the
Democrats, after a momentary depression,
to .ivelier hope and more vigorous
exeriions, and of gaining Governor Sey-
mvur "a GavvIaLio heaIiuS from class
of Republicans who were amenable to the
tre1schant and dexterous arguments with
xrb;Ib ba assaiIs Radical misrt1le and profii-
gac1. The case presents singular instance
of happy result from conjuncture that
appeared pregnant with disaster The New
YoH Tribune remarks tauntingly that MIR.
Doaglas, by speaking on his own behalf, car
rice only two States. Very well; admit that
Coy. Seymour, by the same means, changes
onls the two States of Pennsylvania and
INDIANA from Republican to Democratic, and
his!election may be considered assured

We find the following paragraph in last

evenings edition of the Times:
We perceive that whole pages of the Republican
ana CRESCENT are devoted TO the publication Of
the utterly valueless matter styled " Debates in
bo'h papers "Ofi -ial," we desire. in behalf Of
the tax payers OF this city, respectfully to inquire
whether such publication is to be paid for 10 both
parjers at the rate of one dollar per square and
further, by what authority or arrangement such
liability, II any. is incurred.
As the Times has at last learned to mingle
courtesy with inquiry, we have no objection
to giving the information called for in the
above. To the first question we answer that
the CRESCENT is not paid at the rate of dollar
q square for publishing the official debates of
the Senate. To the second we answer that,
during one of the closing nights of the ses-
sion resolution was introduced authorizing
the official reporter of the Senate, Mr.. Manly,
to contract for the publication of the debates,
with some one city paper, in addition to the
Republican; the compensation to be fifty
ceslts square, and to be paid out of the con-
tiSgent fund of the Senate. On motion of
ny. Bacon the price was reduced to forty
cents a square, and, in this form the resolu-
tim passed. Mr.. Manly selected the Cries.

than the black population the white
vote is at least 10000 greater than the black
vote there are thousands of colored Demo-
cratic voters, and there are not four thousand
white Radicals in the State. The registration
will show large excess of Democratic voters;
why, then, should the Democrats resort to
force? On the contrary, it is their interest
and their desire that their opponents poll
their full strength, in order that the country
may see the proof that the actual government
of the State exists in fragrant defiance Of the
wishes and opinions of the people.

REPORT OF THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
ON PEACE AND ORDER.
Letter OF Judge Brice.


In the early part of last month the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee appointed
subcommittee to confer with similar COM
mittea on behalf of the Republican party, for
the purpose of concerning some plan for pre-
serving peace and order during the canvass
and at the election. The effort to come to an
understanding with the Republican party
failed for reasons exposed in the following
report of the subcommittee, now for the first
time published. In addition to this report,
we give letter addressed by Judge Brice to
Thomas Allen Clarke, Esq, and published
originally in the New York World. This
letter throws valuable light on the subject,
and discloses the spirit with which the Re-
publican leaders met the advances of the
Democratic party:
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. %, 1868.
To the State Democratic Central Committee:
Genaemea-Your committee appointed in tho
interests of "peace and order to consult with
similar committee from the Republican State
Committee, respectfully report: That they have
held several conferences with a committee from
the Republican organization, OF which zen. A. Il.
Lee was chairman, ard after free interchange OF
opinion on each side, subcommittee was ap-
Mcmillan, to prepare joint address to the people
of the State. The subcommittee had several con-
ferences, but with no result. With this report we
submit the report Of Judge Brice, which this COM
mittee adopt and ask that it be carefully filed for
future reference. We cannot but regret that all
our efforts should have proved unavailing in the
great objects had in view-the preservation of the
peace and order of the State in the present
canvass.
Respectfully submitted.
