The stes mbostnep. Colored Democratic
Club
Held large and enthusiastic meeting last even
ing at the corner of Levee and Front streets. Mr..
A. L. Scott, colored, of Pointe Coupee, made an |
eloquent speech against carpet bsggery and other
Radical innovations. He asked his brethren who |
gave them their property? IL was their old |
Southern people. Were they better off now than
they were under tfeir old friends except in so |
far as regards slayeryl No. Even now, or at |
least only two or three weeks ago, a cOlored |
Democrat could not express his sentiments with |
out danger Of being mobbed or killed. Sustain |
the Southern people and they will sustain their |
colored brethren. One must stand by the other
the carpetbagger may give his note for work, |
but when the work is done and the note falls due
he says. 81 have no property here nothing but a |
small Office, and | can't pay you. You ought to |
be satisfied with the freedom we gave you.n Mr., |
Scott made great many more telling remarks. |
