THE Constitution hIofl Louisiana, black

oarpet-baggers and scalawags, among
other clauses, has the following.

mittcd to the schools or other institutions

Although disfranchisement, negro suf-
frage, and various other evils to which
white flesh has been made heir to in West
Virginia. have been forced upon the peo-
plo by the radical party, it must not DO
supposed that wo have yeti drained tho
bitter cup ofoppression and insult to tho
bottom.Gi When the school system of this
State was adopted, there 9was no Four
teonth or Fifteenth Amendment imposed
on the country, and consequently there
was no NEGRO suffrage or negro equality
existing in this State. gailla1
s Even as lato Is 1868, tie radical party

Governor Stevenson in tie, lead, solemn
lysdeclared their opposition to negro suf-
frsge. and promised thatit should never

declared consent. But no sooner were
th,se political charlatans clothed with Q
new lease Of power than they proceeded
to violate all their fair promises, and to
outrage justice and public sentiment by
enfranchising all the negroes, while they
left the disfranchised white people outin
the cold. And 90 now will i. be in the

The radical leaders will deny this, apd
manifest considerable indignation at the
allegation; but their. denial in this case

negro suffrage in 1885, They lied and
cheated the. people then, aud they will lie
and cheat the people now upon any ques-
tiou affecting thcir success. Scarcely
step has that party ever taken in its rev.
oluionary career that was not founded in
deceit and fraud, and that did no. result
in Generalization and calamity to the
country. Being forevarned, let tho peo-
pie be forearmed, Unless they want to see
