One of Grants ten provinces down
this way swears of, and has no notion Of
standing for him. This is new rebel
lion. Commenting on some of the late
vagaries of the New York World, which
has staggered more than comnon Of late,
the New Orleans Crescent says:
I The New York World thinks that the
Democracy Of the Southern States have
g;yen up the contest, and will let their
seventy ELECTORAL votes go for Grant with
out struggle. The Worlds mistaken.
The Democracy of LouisiaES are deter.
mined to fight out this battle to the end,
and with such means and such weapons
as remain to tbsm.s They do not intend
to let the STATE go by default. They will
not permit their seFen electoral votes to
be given to Grant if they csn i,slp it. They
are sasoIved to use every effort TO assist
in the .elee,.on of the Democratic candi-
date. They may rat succeed, but they
can carry, the State at the Slyember cleo
tom and they End the greatest esesIr-
agement In tho result Of the April cleo
ton. At that election, with every exer-
ton that eould be made by the carpet
bag organization. the total vote polsd
for the Constitution was 66,000-sbout
62, 900 colored votes and 1000 white votes.
The Radicals will never again cast so
large vote in Louisiana The great
mass Of the Republican vote comes from
the eoloTed popElation-iu fact, for all
nractical purposes, nearly the whole
of II. But the white population
greatly exceeds the black population,
and the white vote ander the new
Constitution will he several thousand ia
excess of the black vote. We could carry
the State on direct contest between the
two colors, but we do not rely solely on
the whites. The result at the last cleo
ton az ST. Merlin, ST. landry, East
Baton Rougs. Vest Baton Rouge, Clai-
borne, Desoto and lsddo, shows what
can be done by proper organic stiop and
energetic work. In those parishes the
black resistrstion was nearly 1000
greater than the wljte registration, and
yet they gave q Democratic majority of
nearly 1000. We we're beaten then from
want of confidence We shall labor
under no such disadvantage the next
time. We know that we can carry the
State. aHd we intend 10 DO 1t. let the
World be comforted. Louisiana will
not vote for Grant.
