DOGBERRYISM.

Mr.. Drury Lacy, senior Editor of the

who was recently appointed q police ju-
ror, declines to serve for the following
reasons. - stated by himself:

litical rights of the colored men we utter

Mr.. Lacy talks about social equality.
Why we do not know . negro who

lence makes him offer an insalt to the
Governor. whose impotent prejudice
makes him assal his colored equal
and whose folly makes him exhibit
himself in the light of . quarrelsome
child. to the public. Verify, . colored
mans idea Of social equality would not
include the company of such Dogberry
as thia --.r o. aYa..,.aals- .l' .'o.-,
But Dogberry is not without his
clerks "to write him down an ass" At y
meeting of the old Bosrd of Trustees the
following resolutions were passed:
RESOLVED, That while disclaiming earn
estly any intention TO resist improperly
any constitutional law, we believe the
action Of Gov. Warmoth. BY which he
assumes to appoint . Mayor and Admin
istrators of the city Of Shreveport, 70 he
without authority of Law. and that we
will remain in office until all legal RENE
dies are exhausted to maintain our legal
rights and those of the people of the city
Of Shreveport whom we represent
Assolued further, That believing the
said action of Goveznor Wsrmoth will be
detrimental to tho interests of the people
OF the city of Shreveport, committee
be appointed to consult with counsel, and
advise what shall be done in the premi-
ses" IA doc rs sf1 Pl1 Ei,G
( Dogbezys clerk was the only one in
the business who could write, and these
resolutions are 80 much like Dogberry's
utteranccs that we assign Dogberry's de-
clinature to the influence of his clerks
and 40 dismiss the matter. -" ~
But it is really laughable to think Of
tie folly, Inconsistency and helplessness Of
men who must submit to laws passed BY
colored legislators and accept the acts Of
an acting negro governor. while at the
same time they resist the appointment Of
q colored administrator of assessments
and colored police Juror Of a one horse
municipality.

DEAD ISSUES AND DEMOCRACY.

The strongest peculiarly of tho Dem
ocratic party is its enforcement Of discip-
line. 1t watches with a devouring jeal-
ousy each act Of its adherents, and pun
ishes with the ban of accommodation
every convicted delinquent. By this pro-
cess it has encouraged its leaders and in
undated its followers until its rank and
nile are madc up Of the most ignorant OF
every nationality i'll tho Republic.
Upon this ignorance. the party prac-
tees with the impunity Of priest, and
with the bare-facedness of a iuggler
The party leaders for instance, swear to
their dupcd followers that all three of the
great amendments to the constitution
must be repealed. They say this to sat
isfy the prejudices created and fostered
BY the party, among the ignorant foreign
crs who SO largely constitute the uaateri-
Il OF re-actionary political action; and We,
no body believes that the democrats expect
to reduce the re5o to bondage again
or disfranchise him even? or - 'o3ist
A moments reelection will convince sny
impartial thinker that the Democratic
party is destitute Of . sinels living issue,
and that like the political ghoul it is it
lives upon the dead. The names of dead
men are invoked in every newspaper Ar
ticls, and in every speech. Hendricks,
Pendletou, Blair aud Mcclellan arc but
isaden pipes in the party organ through
which is pumped the ghostly uttersuces
Of Calhoun and Buchanan. These ami.
mated leaders also seek and secure their
highest honors in the surrender of Their
Municipalities and convictions to the pro
sessed faith and the well known practices
Of their party--beiisf in st. Tammany,s
Instability and the securement Of unity BY
The cohesives influence Of public plumber.
The democrats talk loudly of disfran-
chising the negro, and yet common sense
tells us they would not do it if they could
Democrats know too well how to manir-
ulate ignorant voters, have made the bu-
siness too essential to their very existence
depend too much upon the intimidation
and bribery of the colored people to get
back into power, to attempt to commit
, lis folly. ~,
The democrats lnow too that Il would
,ost as much blood and treasure to reduce
the negro again to chattel as it has a.
ready cost to emancipate and enfranchisc
him. The history oft the wo: ii furnishes no
instance Of en- emaucirated people being
reduced again to bondage. Napoleon

This law Of Congress applies to all
parts Of the United States and will be
enforced everywhere to the extent of the
powers vested in the Executive 4; but in
ssmGch Is the necessity therefor il well
Known to have been caused chiefly by
persistent violations of the rights Of cit-
zens Of tie United States by combine
tons Of lawiess and disaffected persons
in certain localities, lately the theatre of
instruction and military conflict. I do
particularly exhort the people Of those
parts of the country to suppress all such
combinations BY their OWN voluntary ef-
f,rts through the agency Of the local
avs, and to maintain the rights Of all
Gil .ens of tho United States and 10 re-
cure to al such citizens the equal pro-
lection of the laws. r-.r f a
Fu''y sensible Of the responsibility i'm
posed upon the Ex, tive by the act of
Congress, to which public ;.ttention is
now called, and reluctant to call into ex-
ercise any of the extraordinary powers
thereby conferred upon me. except in
cases Of imperative necsssity, I do never
theless deem it my duty to make known
that I will not hesitate to exhaust the
powers thus vested in the Executive
whenever and wherever it sha!l become
necessary to do 20 for the purpose Of
securing to all citizens Of the United
States the peaceful enjoyment Of the
rights guaranteed to them by the CO.'S
titution and laws.
It is my earnest wish that peacs and
cheerful obedience to law-may prevail
throughout the land, and that all traces
of our late unhappy civil strife may be |
speedily removed. These ends can be
easily reached by acquisscencs in the |
results of the conflict now written in our |
constitution, and by the due and proper
enforcement Of equal, just and impartial
laws in every part Of our country. |
The failure Of local communities to
furnish suckmeans for the attainment Of
the results so earnestly desired, imposes
upon the National Government the duty
Of putting forth all its energies for the
protection of its citizens of every race
and color. and for the restoration Of
peace and order throughout tho entire
country. In testimony whereof, I have
here set my hand and caused the seal Of
