New Orleans Republican., 1868-10-19

AOOI Sho Ouo per cent TAX from the people
OF st. Mary at once. This is double the
tax ever paid by the parish in the days of
her prosperity. Here comes insthe twenty
thousand dollars printing tax for our parish
tor the support of carpet-bag newspaper
Offices.
This is another amiable paragraph:
MIR. Seward has lately said that the Radi-
c ais have made the South eat dirt till the
southern people are fond Of it, and they
intend to make them eat more dirt. We
feel the force of this taunt in st. Mary.
rope, the carpet-bag press, and some
negro club leaders, are the men who deal
out the dirt to US as the agents of the Radi-
cal party. Let us have peace p
"The moths will have to leave the hive:''
Radical clubs in this parish are wearing
and fading away. They ara weak through
out the parish. Carpet-baggers and scala
wags are getting weak in the knees. They
look hungry, and gaunt, and desponding.
The Radical scalawag Register is as quiet
as mouse, SO far as its dealings with the
white people are concerned. The smoke
hurts their eyes. and makes breathing
rather difficult. The moths will have to
leave the hive.
This paragraph intimates that the office
holders will be driven from the parish
Registration in the parish goes bravely
on. A large number of Democratic me-
groes are registering We believe that be-
fore six months the eolored population Of
st. Mary will so clearly see the character of
the Radicals, and so well understand the
lies the carpet-baggers and scalawags have
told them, that they will feel like rising up
in mass and driving these bogus office
holders and lying ofice-seekers from the
parish.
Here is another pretty extract relating to
Sheriff Pope's truthful letter
Read the slanderous letter Of the carpet
Dagger Pope, which we publish this week.
We copy it from the batch of like ISLANDERS
published in pamphlet form by order of
the Legislature Of this State, at the ex-
pense Of thousands of dollars, to be used
North as an election document, and paid
for by the State.
An amiable spirit pervades this elegant
extract:
Remember, everybody in st. Mary and
adjoining parishes, that next week will be
the last week you have to register and to
secure your right to vote in the Presidential
election. Register at once. The late
Democratic Convention at New Orleans
passed resolution that it is criminal NOT
to register and help save the State from
utter ruin, that the finger of scorn should
be pointed at all Democrats who can and
wont register. Most of the calamities
brought upon the State by our pre-. .ent in
famous Legislature could have been
averted had those who might have regis
tered, and didn't register, done their duty,
Lend your neighbors who have no horses
your own saddle horses to 20 and register,
Let everybody do his duty, and this State
is safe tor ten thousand majority for Sew.
mour and Blair.
This is not complimentary to Repub-
hcans who have Joined the Democrats:
The Radical leaders, Donate and Morse.
OF st, Landry, have Joined the Democrats,
They are not ornamental to the party.
The following extract declares that the
spirit of hell is abroad in St. Mary.
The assassination of Pope and Valentine
confirms the declaration:
We learn with regret that last SATURDAY.
night, in the Au Large Prairie. above Jean
erette. a colored family suffered. at the
hands OF two white men, acts of violence.
and narrowly Cscapcd being murdered. A
young daughter was violated under the
most aggravating circumstances in the
presence OF her mother, who was threat
ened with instant death if she opened her
mouth. One of the palties has escaped:
The other is unknown.
We can not too deeply deplore the reck-
essness and brutality of such monsters.
in times like these.
The spirit of hell seems to be abroad to
produce collision of the races.
This is another article written for the
purpose Of embittering the people of St.
Nary against Mr.. Pope, the sheriff:
Colored people of st. Mary, we assure |
'ou that this fellow Pope is lying to YOU
md deceiving you in variety of ways.
he is only here to influence the next cleo |
ion. He has no idea of being able to hold |
he office of Sheriff. He is paid now for
heating you and lying to you by the Radi-
'al party. He couldn't pay his board bill
It the hotel, were it not for funds he gets
rom the Radicals of New Orleans or
n Washington. IT you allow yourselves to be
oeled and cheated by his lies, go ahead to
he bitter end! When he involves YOU in
rouble by his talk in your Loyal League
lubs, he will flee to the woods and to
Sew Orleans, and leave you to be dealt
nth as the negroes of St. Landry were
ately. They are great set of rascals and
ypoerits. But if you like them stick to
lem like wax.
This is declaration that colored men
ave no hope for protection, employment
