Poor Louisiana

| The public school system OF Louisiana
has been turned over by q nlongrcl,
iblack-and-tan Legislature to the tender
mercies ofignorant, beastly negroes and
thieving carpct-baggers, and henceforth
| the blacks are to be forced into white
schools by law. This would result in
the utter breaking up Of these schools if
the people retained enough spirit to re-
sist the outrage by taking their children
out of schools to which negroes arc adj
mittcd. a sad change has come over
the people of Louisiana under the iron
heel and dc@potic rule of negroes, adj
| venturcrs and bayonets. They have
| either lost all manhood and love of lib
! erty, and sunk down into the apathy
of NIcxicans about their political rights,
| or have given themselves up, body and
soul, to the Establishments Of rings,
stocks and office.
1t is melancholy to think of so cult
waited and elegant a community as New
Orleans, once so sensitive about it's
privileges, tamely submitting to the
plundcring schemes of Warmoth and
his gang of renegade COnfcderateS and
fishy Democrats, and the enforcement
ofmiNed schools by Il purchasable Legis-
lature, made up in part Of vcnal white
men and negroes, with all the vices of
slaves. The press, which should ever
stand as n rock between these vampires
of carpet-basgery and the people, con-
tents itself with two honorable eNccp-
tions) with mild dcprecatory platitudcS
about these hcinOus outragcs upon the
liberties of the city and State, and with
chTonicling the social and political
movements OF distinguished carpet
baggcrs, scalawags, and negroes, and
oil Il f,.1,
penny advertisements. Nine Dc Stacl
once said that ''those who deserved lib
erty generally achieved it, and if Lou
isinna wants liberty, let her people
go heartily and earnestly to work
in the great duty of regencratng tho
State by getting it out of the hands
of the kelloGgs, Vests, WarmOths.
Dunns, Flanders, Conways, Carriers,
SheridanS, Hahns, and others of that
kidney, and putting it into the hands
of the bona .ft1e propcrt y-owncrs and
citizens who arc and have always been
honorably identified with the State.
Drive out the carpct-baggcrs first by
Democratic ballots. Let the Democrat
cy go to work, "tcrribly in earnest"
and neither sleep, nor eat, until the last
ono is driven from the state in disgrace
