lbove manned gentleman was elected
Governor Of Louisiana,
~ an overwhelming majority. Since
Mr.. Dunn's accession to the Presi-
1ency Of the Senate, he has thrice
received the unanimous thanks OF |
hat body for the able, dlgnihed
and impartial manner in which ne
has performed his difficult duties.
At the time Of the organization OF
the State Senate when Gen. Buch-
anan sent an officer of the army to
Governor Dunn with instructions to
call the Senate roll as he (Buch-
ana) had returned it Ii. e. 10 Reps.
10 DENIS Dunn, at the imminent
risk of his life refused to consider
Gen. Buchanan his master, and had
the Senate roll called and demand
ed the test oath, as the test OF quail
fcation for membership and refused
to consider Anthony Sambola III
any manner whatever a member,
but admitted Hugh J. Campbell as
a Senator, thus giving nineteen Re-
publican seats in that body. Gen
eral Grant was appealed to and he
refused to sustain Gov. Dunn in the
attitude he had taken. Yet Dunn
persisted in being correct, and
would not reverse his acts. To Mr..
Dunn is therefore due the credit of
having saved this State to the Re
publican party.
Yet to-day he is hunted down
with as much persistency as the
hunters of Asia show in their efforts
to capture or destroy the tiger,
leopard, or lion, in their native
wilds. Why is it, that Mr.. War
moth as the leader and Messrs
Campbell, Oockrem, Shaw Bonzano
and others are now using their eff
forts to destroy Mr.. Dhnn's in
fuence with the colored voters +?
Why do they bride colered men
with offices and promises of office.
and employ other colored men as
street scavengers, and force colored
policemen to vote, to curtail and
destroy Mr.. Dunn politically? 1t
is because they have been unable to
get him to swerve one iota from the
path of duty to his race and to his
true and tried white friends. He
has rendered himself however OBJ
noxious to that class of white Re-
publicans VINO want the negroes
vote, but are opposed to voting for
the negro.
The people whose color renders
them obnoxious, "are the negroes.
Mr.. Dunn is of that class. Can col
ored men then afford to 60 back on
him, because for this day you hold
a position from Governor Warmotl
or his creatures that gives you
living? Never let it be said that the
negro lost his influence and coptro
ofthe Republican party of Louisiana
by his love of Official Pap, issued tC
him by H. c. Warmoth.
! MARMADUKE.
The above copied from the Gus
tom House organ is intended as
compliment to 1t. Gov. Dunn, an(
we cheerfully give it place in oul
columns as we desire to call specia
attention to one or two items il
, it.
First: 1t says Governor Dunn
refused to consider Anthony Sam
bola in any manner whatever
member, but admitted Hugh j
Campbell as a Senator!!"
If this be true is it not strdng
that Gov. Dunn did not admit I
B. s. Pinchback an unquestionabl
Republican and a coIored man
: Eli!
, Second: We most emphaticall
deny that any colored man in til
employ of the State Administra
ton, or holding Office under il
wishes to destroy Gov. Dunn's pc
litical influence. But they do de
sire and intend that Gov. Dunn
friends shall not destroy their pc
litical influence with IMMUNITY, b
!. the publication of such articles q
this, charging colored men with be
ing bribed with Offices, etc, to de
> stroy Gov. Dunn politically; an,
here we may add, that it holding
Office under the parties you sustai
fbe bribery, may we not with equd
justice claim that every man in tn
employment of the Custom Hous
people have been bribed?
3 Lastly: IN answer to his closin
interrogatories We wiz ask, can co
: ored men afford to 60 back on otht
colored men whose records wi
. lose none of its brightness b
, being compared with his; and el
